Military on Gotland edit

(

)

... that Sweden has decided to reestablish a garrison on Gotland, restoring a permanent military presence (pictured) that prior to 2005 had remained in place in one form or another for nearly 200 years?

ALT 1 - ... that, after a 10-year gap, Sweden will reestablish its previously unbroken 200-year military presence on Gotland (unit crest pictured)?

- A bit shorter, and I think the crest is more striking as a small picture that the slightly blurry tank pic. w.carter-Talk 23:43, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:51, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Fixed the length of the primary hook as noted elsewhere by BlueMoonset (it's at around 163 characters now). Thanks! Ceannlann gorm (talk) 12:25, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Rather at 155 (not including spaces) the "?" and "(pictured)" does not count. w.carter-Talk 12:48, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

As DYK counts spaces and also the ending "?", the total for the revised primary hook is now actually 187 characters, below the absolute maximum of 200. (We don't count " (pictured)" or the initial ellipsis periods or the space after them.) BlueMoonset (talk) 17:09, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

More info all the time! :) Thanks for clarifying. w.carter-Talk 17:14, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Full review still needed. (The above discussion was not reviewing!) BlueMoonset (talk) 13:59, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Clearly long enough, new enough, QPQ unnecessary, assuming good faith on various offline and foreign language sources. ALT1 short enough and sourced. Good to go.--Laun chba ller 21:51, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this. @W.carter: wasn't it a 9-year gap (2005-2014)? Yoninah (talk) 20:47, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

@Yoninah: A terrible typo, now corrected. It is actually ten years, 2005 (stood down) to March 2015 (decision to reestablish). @Ceannlann gorm: Did I get it right this time?

Ack, I should have caught that one myself! Thanks guys! Ceannlann gorm (talk) 21:23, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. Restoring tick based on Launchballer's review. Yoninah (talk) 21:59, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
