Niels Wulfsberg, Tiden (Christiania newspaper) edit

( Comment or view )

( Article history links:

)

... that owing to his declining popularity as a priest in Christiania, Niels Wulfsberg decided to make a journalistic career, establishing amongst other newspapers the royal friendly Tiden?

ALT1:... that editor of the monarchist and secessionist Tiden newspaper, Niels Wulfsberg, lived a libidinous life in Christiania, despite his being a priest?

It's not clear to me that the articles support either that Tiden was 'royal friendly' or that Wulfsberg was a monarchist. The Wulfsberg article lacks a citation for the statement used in the first part of ALT1. Mikenorton (talk) 00:48, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the review. I've added a reference for his being a monarchist and for Tiden being royalist; the Norsk biografisk leksikon entry supports both facts, albeit indirectly. Eisfbnore ^talk 12:52, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Both articles are fine regarding length, date and sourcing and neither have evidence of plagiarism/copyvio problems as far as I can tell from my fairly limited Norwegian. The hooks are short enough, quite interesting and supported by sources in the articles. I prefer the first, as the ALT1 reads as if he was still a priest while publishing the newspaper.
