No idea why this had to wait so long in the queue. I will take this up. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 01:19, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Lead

• Here and throughout the article call her either "Christensen" or "Else" consistently

• I've made sure that it is consistent throughout. Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:25, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

• Else published a newsletter called The Odinist for many years When did she begin the publication?

• In 1971. I've added that into he lede. Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:22, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Early life

• Is the date of her birth not clear? Should be mentioned explicitly.

• Unfortunately the date is not given in any of the reliable sources on the subject. Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:06, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

• Perhaps mention this confusion in the article? Better leave no question marks. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 15:48, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

• @Sainsf: I'm open to the idea of mentioning this, although not sure how to do so in a manner that meets Wikipedia guidelines. Would we not need a reliable source that says "Her date of birth was not specified in the reliable sources"? Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:29, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

• Indeed, this is a weird case. But the void can be felt, so perhaps add a note saying something like "the sources consulted in this article do not specify the date of birth"? If any editor finds the DOB with a source later on, they can remove the note and add this. Not sure about biography guidelines here, though, but this solution does not look problematic to me.

• @Sainsf: I've added this information as a note. This seems to fix the problem. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:08, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

• She deemed Odinism to be a religion that had an organic relationship with What exactly is an "organic relationship"?

• I've changed "organic" to "natural and intrinsic", if that works?

• Alright, this looks clearer. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 15:48, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

The Odinist fellowship

• Jeffrey Kaplan Kaplan Is "Kaplan" repeated?

• Well spotted and removed. Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:06, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

• Although her Odinic activities slowed down considerably, This sentence looks incomplete or should it be "here" and not "Here"?

  I've rewritten this sentence. Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:21, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

• What was the cause of her death?

• Again, this isn't specified in the reliable sources. Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:06, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Ideology

• "Capitalists" is a duplink

• I've removed the duplink. Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:21, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Legacy and influence

• The historian of esotericism Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke "The" can be removed

• If it's all the same, I'd like to keep the "The"; I didn't used to keep the "the" in sentences such as this, but in peer reviews I had other editors encourage me to put them in, so I try to remember to do so now. Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:21, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

• Wikilink neo-paganism

• Done! Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:21, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

• "Mother Folk. " --> "Mother Folk".

• Done! Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:21, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

That should be it. Cheers, Sainsf (talk · contribs) 01:42, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
