Incoming Changes
I was assigned this article, which as been classified as Stub, for a class assignment. For anyone watching this article, anticipate some changes within the next few months. I plan to increase the length of the article significantly, adding much more detail as well as citations. I hope that readers will be able to achieve a more nuanced understanding of why non-aqueous phase liquids are important to understand, how they have posed problems historically, how the problems are projected to look in the future, and how scientists are addressing them both now and moving forward.

Major Changes Made!
I just changed the article quite a bit. I included a lot more information and three new sources. I also removed some of the previous sources because I found that they were very long, and thus were difficult to check for consistency with the information included in the article. I introduced some new sources that are much shorter and easier to compare with the article. Please feel free to ask any questions about the changes I made.

- ... that non-aqueous phase liquid contaminants can slowly dissolve into aquifers over time? Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780128222522000037
- Reviewed:
- Comment: The article was increased five-fold more than seven days ago, on November 21 2023. The article was expanded from 125 words to roughly 2300! It's a new, low-traffic article that still deserves consideration.
5x expanded by Knowledgengine (talk). Self-nominated at 21:33, 14 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Non-aqueous phase liquid; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
That's a really impressive expansion! Thanks for your work. Unfortuntately, the expansion needs to happen in the seven days before a DYK nomination. Here, there were over three weeks between expansion and nomination, so it's not eligible. There is another route to a DYK: via a WP:good article nomination (GA). In the seven days after an article is promoted to a good article, you can also nominate it for DYK. The article seems very close to meeting the requirements for a good article, which is impressive for a new user. I've copy-edited the article lightly, and I think you can nominate it as-is. The most likely comment from a GA reviewer will be to make the article a bit easier to understand. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 10:00, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
