This article was selected as the article for improvement on 17 December 2018 for a period of one week.
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Comment: While I did edit the article, I wasn't a huge part in the expansion. All 3 of my edits were relatively minor: capitalizing the first letter of the short description, adding a line break so an image file wouldn't mess up a section heading and fixing a misspelling (contary to contrary). Basically, what I'm saying is that I don't think my inclusion is all that important among all of these other editors who contributed so much more to actual content expansion.

Comment Okay, I'm okay with your explanation. I usually try to improve the TAFI if I'm around and I can, but I take no issue with recognizing every recent contributer; gradual improvements by numerous editors is one of the reasons I like TAFI so much.

Sorry folks, this article is an expansion of an existing article and does not meet DYK requirements in that it has not been expanded five-fold. It was 1060 characters before expansion and is currently 3637, so it has way to go!

It has been over three weeks with no work on expanding the article; the minimum expanded size is 5300 prose characters, which means an extra 1663 characters need to be added. It will be a month on 12 August, a week from now; if nothing has happened by then, this will be marked for closure. I hope we see some progress soon.

There have been no edits in the past nine days, and no additions for over a month. Marking for closure as unsuccessful; 5x expansion has not been achieved (only about 3.5x).

Untitled
Just discovered some 5-mm long, white worms eating through shelves and books in my house in California. None of the insects described in this article appear to match.

There are several sections under "Other book-eating insects" that have refs in their headings. In my opinion it looks bad, especially when it shows up in the table of contents, but I'm not seeing any other good place to put them. It also looks to be discouraged by
MOS:HEAD. Thoughts?

Copyvio in management section
There are some significant copyright issues in the management section (which look to be added by
LizzieMack). I'll see what I can do about them (I might have to end up reverting/heavily condensing most of the section), but I thought I'd note it (and ping her) here.
