for main hook. Date and size of expansion is fine. I have only evaluated the main hook, and took the liberty to substitute "April 2012" for "April", as I found omitting the year was confusing. Hook facts are cited in the article. The supplied online references verified most of the hook facts, except that Birkeland succeeded Kleveland as Minister of Culture. I fixed the article by supplying an additional reference. I added this by using a citation template ({{cite encyclopedia}}), which conflicts with the established citation style in the article. Hope that is ok, as my personal preference is to use citation templates (you may want to harmonize the citation styles). Another comment on the excisting citations is that online references are generally missing retrieval date, which I think is recommended, but probably not strictly required. Spot checks on close paraphrasing did not reveal any problems. I also checked recent edits of article Concerts Norway (which is linked in the hook). The "translation" of Riksteatret to "National Theatre" was reverted, to avoid confusion with Norwegian: Nationaltheatret, in English: National Theatre of Norway, which both redirect to the article National Theatre (Oslo), and this is a different institution than the touring theatre Riksteatret.

- Thanks! Yes, I'd confused the two theatres; when I'm home from work and have a steadier connection, I must make sure there isn't some redirect that led me astray there. I hadn't seen our Riksteatret page. Also thanks for the added ref. I think the archived version of the Aftenposten article has been shortened since I viewed it. I do prefer not to use citation templates, so I've made the new ref like the other SNL one, but since it's a time sensitive matter and that page has a date of last updating, I've included that. --Yngvadottir (talk) 13:00, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
