dunno how many stubs are still a stub a year latter?
The Warsaw radio mast took about nine months to grow beyond three paragraphs. It's now one of our more impressive articles, in my opinion.
In practice from
what I have seen of how artilcles I appear on wikipedia I suspecy not many featured articles started as stubs.
Graffiti started out as a rather sketchy little thing. It sat around four months before getting its second edit, and after twelve months it showed scarcely any improvement. It was accepted for Featured Article status early this year, more than three years after the first edit.
Technetium also started out as a feeble thing. No references, just a mercifully brief stream-of-consciousness braindump. It was accepted for FAC in May.
