Nørreballe edit
- ... that Nørreballe (pictured) was once a station on the Maribo-Torrig Railway which operated from 1916 to 1941?
Created by Dr. Blofeld (talk), Ipigott (talk), Rosiestep (talk), and Nvvchar (talk). Nominated by Dr. Blofeld (talk) at 06:16, 2 July 2013 (UTC).
Length and date created for a new article checks out. I can't read Danish, but using Google Translate I've been able to verify many of the details in the article, except for the hook itself. Can the nominator briefly describe the first source that's cited a number of times and point me to where the hook is described in it? It seems like a primary document released from the village itself. Not that this is problematic, but I wanted to be able to verify the hook. Speaking of the hook, it leaves something to be desired, I think (and I even like trains). Does the nominator have any other suggestions?

- Tend to agree with you on the hook. I therefore suggest:
- ALT1 ... that Nørreballe's Romanesque Østofte Church (pictured) is noted for its well-preserved medieval frescos? --Ipigott (talk) 07:48, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
New ALT1 hook and any remaining issues on article need to be reviewed, including sourcing. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:36, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
- I can't verify the hook with the attached sources; the first source is a book that doesn't include text preview and the second is a document in Danish that can't open on my computer right now (but can this evening) Also, I cannot read Danish, but perhaps Google Translate will give me enough info to approve this one.

The second source is an atlas map with no obvious way of finding the hook statement so far as I can tell; normally I would AGF details like this, but because it's the hook, it really needs to be verifiable. Can you either provide a page number for the hook in the nook source, describe how the statement is otherwise verifiable on the atlas, or use a different hook that is verifiable?

- Sorry you have experienced such difficulty with my sources which work fine for me. As you do not seem to be able to access the text on the church frescos, I have now also included a much more academic description from the National Museum of Denmark. Unfortunately it runs to a few pages, all in Danish! The reason I thought Historisk Atlas would be good for the hook is that the text is clear and succinct and comes from a widely used reliable source. Hope this now sorts things out for you. Thanks for your continued interest.--Ipigott (talk) 09:08, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
Oh, hey! The Atlas source works great now, for some bizarre reason. I swear I tried to get it to work for me several times before I gave up. I've been able to verify the line, and we are good to go. Thank you for your effort. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 14:53, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
