GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
General
  • Images are good
    • Though it is not required for GA status, Alternative text for the images is preferred
  • Sources look good
    • No concern with close paraphrasing, given nearly all links are in Norwegian
Lead
  • "Other mayor events held at..." - Typo? I presume that is supposed to be "major"?

  • As a general complaint, I've never really cared for listing one-off events as being tenants in the infobox. I won't suggest removal, just sharing a personal opinion.
Construction
  • Link Storhamar IL on first use

  • "...but a research project coordinated by the Norwegian Institute of Technology make it possible to build the venue in wood." - Awkward statement. I assume that should just be "made it possible". It also makes me curious. Is the arena completely made of wood? If so, is that unusual in Norway?

Facilities
  • "...Unlike Lillehammer and Gjøvik, Hamar only uses the interest and not of the capital of their funds..." - Also a bit awkward. Perhaps just strike "of"? "Hamar uses only the interest, not the capital, of their funds [to cover any deficit]"?

  • "...75 meters (246 ft) wise ..." - Typo. Should be "wide"
 Y. Geschichte (talk) 13:42, 1 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • "The venue has an official ice hockey spectator capacity for 6,091 spectators," - No need to say "spectators" twice. I would just remove the first use: "The venue has an official ice hockey capacity for 6,091 spectators"

  • "During the 1994 Winter Olympics, Hamar Olympic Amphitheatre was used for figure skating and short track speed skating. It hosted 13 events, drawing an average of 5,554 spectators.[27] During the Olympics, Storhamar Ishall was used for warming up and training." - Second use of "During the Olympics" is redundant.

Events
  • I am not sure that the Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding incident is particularly relevant to this article
  Maybe not the most relevant fact, but it's only half a sentence. Geschichte (talk) 13:42, 1 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • In the Ice hockey section, your uses of "Dragon's" should either be Dragons if speaking of the team in general, or Dragons' if referring to something the team possesses. i.e.: The Dragons' highest average... and The Dragons have played....

Overall

A well written article overall. There are a few typos and a couple places where the wording is awkward, but you have touched on everything I would expect to see in an article about such a facility. I am placing this nomination on hold to give time to address the minor issues above. Regards, Resolute 02:15, 28 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much for the review. I am traveling in the Middle East as we speak (or should that be "write") and have very little time and access to the Internet. I will be back at home on 5 April and with your consent would be more than happy to take a thorough look at the comments and amend them at that time. I fear that at this time I do not have the time to do a thorough enough read-through to fix the issues, even if they are not the largest. Arsenikk (talk) 07:46, 1 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Looks good to me. I am now passing the article. Congrats to you both! Resolute 17:31, 1 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
