Architecture of Norway
This is a self-nomination, though some of the best edits were made by another editor, User:Roede

There are a couple of reasons why I thought this would be a good featured candidate:
 * The topic itself is interesting, since it illustrates both the societal development of a country with unique challenges and a particular relationship to the outside world;
 * I think the article is well-written and well-structured - some recent contributions have strengthened it further
 * Featuring it would encourage more articles on architecture - as you'll see, there are only a few overview articles for European countries, and there are obviously non-European countries with an architectural history that is at least as interesting. --Leifern 10:46, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Object . It is a very interesting article, but it doesn't have inline references. --Maitch 16:07, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I withdraw my objection, but it will still be nice if you would have refs placed after punctuation as described in Footnotes. --Maitch 07:12, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Object. Only two refs, no inline cites, short and choppy style. Rlevse 14:53, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Good feedback, I'll be working on alll these (inline references, reference materials, and the style) over the weekend. I've also solicited feedback from three Norwegian architects. --Leifern 16:59, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Object—2a. Stubby paragraphs and substandard prose. Please network with other WPians who are interested in the topic and can help to copy-edit the text. Tony 03:16, 8 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Object. Lead is way too short; article (as noted) has far too many single-sentence paragraphs. Daniel Case 03:31, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

All these objections have been noted, and the article is being updated. --Leifern 02:59, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
