I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 15:33, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

"after Sparebanken Sør had signed a ten-year naming rights agreement with Sparebanken Sør worth NOK 35 million" they signed an agreement with themselves?
"The bank subsequently sold Start Stadion and Start Toppfotball to Ravnaas on 25 June for NOK 1 each." do you mean one million? If it was sold for only 1 then something's going on that I don't know about.

Just those couple issues. I'll put the article on hold and pass it when they're fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 15:55, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the time to review the article. I tried to fix that sentence yesterday and I seem to have just made it worse, but it's fixed now. As for the sales price, yes it was actually sold for NOK 1 (and yes, that is 17 US cents). The source doesn't say this explicitly, but what has happened is that for the bank, the alternative was that the company file for bankruptcy. Ravnaas was probably permitted to purchase the companies for "nothing" in exchange for him adding share capital and guaranteeing for continued operations. The companies still had a lot of debt to the bank, who would rather see it continue in operation and hope for future income to cover the debt. Arsenikk ^(talk) 20:54, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ok. Everything else looks good so I'll pass the article. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 22:26, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
