Vennen

 * ... that the offices of the Danish magazine Vennen were raided by police in the so-called "Great Porno Affair"?
 * Reviewed: 1908 FA Charity Shield
 * Comment: I will be away until 12 July so probably won't be able to respond to any issues until then (but hopefully there are none).

 * Symbol question.svg The article is new enough (created July 3) and just long enough (about 1600 characters). The prose is neutral. The hook is interesting. The article is well-cited but I've encountered some sourcing problems:
 * Routledge has no information about Axgil assuming the editorship in 1952. Who's Who has him assuming the editorship in 1954.
 * Who's Who's entry on Elmer says Vennen ceased publication in 1970. This may be a misprint, as it goes on to say that he coordinated the Vennen Activist Group until 1974, and that said group owned the magazine. Routledge gives the date as 1974.
 * Besides these issues I think we're good to go. QPQ checks out. Mackensen (talk) 01:54, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks - you're absolutely right about the first point, and I agree with you that 1970 is likely to be a misprint. I've fixed the dates and referencing, and for the year that it ceased publication I've gone with 1974 and cited it to both texts (not sure what else to do about that). 97198 (talk) 10:40, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks, looks good to go now. I've added an explanatory footnote. It'd be nice to find a post-1970 issue of Vennen to clear the matter up. Mackensen (talk) 12:07, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
