Military on Gotland

 * ... that Sweden has decided to reestablish a garrison on Gotland, restoring a permanent military presence (pictured) that prior to 2005 had remained in place in one form or another for nearly 200 years?

 * ALT 1 - ... that, after a 10-year gap, Sweden will reestablish its previously unbroken 200-year military presence on Gotland (unit crest pictured)?
 * - A bit shorter, and I think the crest is more striking as a small picture that the slightly blurry tank pic. w.carter -Talk  23:43, 30 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:51, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Fixed the length of the primary hook as noted elsewhere by BlueMoonset (it's at around 163 characters now). Thanks! Ceannlann gorm (talk) 12:25, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Rather at 155 (not including spaces) the "?" and "(pictured)" does not count. w.carter -Talk  12:48, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 * As DYK counts spaces and also the ending "?", the total for the revised primary hook is now actually 187 characters, below the absolute maximum of 200. (We don't count " (pictured)" or the initial ellipsis periods or the space after them.) BlueMoonset (talk) 17:09, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 * More info all the time! :) Thanks for clarifying. w.carter -Talk  17:14, 2 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review still needed. (The above discussion was not reviewing!) BlueMoonset (talk) 13:59, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Clearly long enough, new enough, QPQ unnecessary, assuming good faith on various offline and foreign language sources. ALT1 short enough and sourced. Good to go.-- Laun  chba  ller  21:51, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this. wasn't it a 9-year gap (2005-2014)? Yoninah (talk) 20:47, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

A terrible typo, now corrected. It is actually ten years, 2005 (stood down) to March 2015 (decision to reestablish). Did I get it right this time? w.carter -Talk  21:15, 16 May 2015 (UTC) Ack, I should have caught that one myself! Thanks guys! Ceannlann gorm (talk) 21:23, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thanks. Restoring tick based on Launchballer's review. Yoninah (talk) 21:59, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
