Recent edits
While I appreciate any improvements to this article, there has been some recent editing which are a bit problematic. This article is a featured list, which means that it must adher to a number of criteria, which I fear that the recent edits have now violated. For instance, image galleries are to be avoided (with a few exceptions—this is definitively not one of them) see Image use policy. Similarly, breaking up a neatly written summary with single-paragraph sub-sections (not to mention the single-sentence section) is not good prose. Also, this leaves the article with a very short lead, violating Manual of Style/Lead section. The prose and layout was approved by a several of the community's most competent editors, so a structural rearrangement is not going to be necessary unless consensus is gained. As the article stands, it could potentially be nominated for FL-removal.

As for the name change, I react to that it was made hurriedly on a featured article without contacting the main contributor, nor considering that the title was approved by consensus at a FL review. This list is not attempting to be a comprehensive summary of railway electrification in Norway, it is merely a chronological summary of when the various railway lines where opened. A article named Railway electrification in Norway would necessarily have to cover many more aspects, such as an in-depth coverage of the history, a detailed coverage of proposed lines to be electrified (this includes all mainline non-electrified lines), it would have to look into electrification of the tramway and metro systems, it would have to cover the construction and use of electric traction (locomotives and EMUs), and finally an in-depth coverage of the technical issues. Such an article is on my long-term to-do list, but is nothing I will prioritize for the time being. For now I will revert the name change, as it is clearly not done based on consensus, and create a new article called 'Railway electrification in Norway', and dump the lead content and perhaps some more information into it. Feel free to add any information you like there. Nils Carl Aspenberg's Elektrolok i Norge has quite a lot of good information about the topic (although in Norwegian).
