• Should the picture be included? Geschichte (talk) 08:11, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

• The picture, which is a tableau with portraits of all four founders, could be included. Even better if biographies of the two other founders were expanded and qualify for inclusion. Adam Hiorth should be relatively easy (online sources), while I don't know whether I have access to sources on Hans Gulbranson. Added the picture to the hook.

• Added co-founder Adam Hiorth. Oceanh (talk) 08:39, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

• Dates and lengths all good. Online translation allows confirmation of hook facts along with spot check for close paraphrasing, no problems found. --Allen3 ^talk 12:11, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
