Sverre of Norway
Self-nom. Peer review can be found here. I know it's lacking in illustrations, but those are very hard to come by Fornadan (t) 22:18, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * There's another "Trek across Voss" here: but it seems to be scanned from a black-and-white printing and may not be interesting enough to add to the article. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 21:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Not sure, basically another interpretation of the same scene. A picture of one of his coins would have been ideal, but those are of course copyrighted. There is a monument of him within walking distance, but I don't have a camera. Fornadan (t) 22:24, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Copyright on uncreative pictures expires within 25/50 years in Scandinavia and in the U.S. (the laws of which Wikipedia is subject to) it doesn't apply at all for pictures of two-dimensional public domain artwork. A picture of one side of a coin at least arguably falls under that case (read up on the Bridgeman ruling), we should check for precedents.


 * There are more picture opportunities if people are desparate for pictures. Location pictures are sometimes appropriate - there's one of Kirkjubøur at Commons. A picture of a manuscript of Sverris saga would also be a possible, though perhaps somewhat dull, decoration. But I wouldn't worry too much about lack of pictures - the maps help a lot. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 22:30, 18 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Support, a very thorough treatment; a few suggestions, however:
 * The inline links might look better if they were moved to footnotes.
 * The relationship among Eystein Meyla, Sverre, and Haakon as Birkebein leaders should be via succession box, but I'm uncertain what the proper title would be.
 * Fixed the sucession box thing. Could you point me to a how-to for the footnotes? Fornadan (t) 11:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * There are several different formats described at Footnotes. I personally prefer the first (using ref and note), but you can use any of them. Kirill Lokshin 13:31, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Notes are now in place Fornadan (t) 17:19, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Overall, a very good article. Kirill Lokshin 23:10, 15 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Excellent article a sucession box would be very useful. Support. Falphin 01:49, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment there are a lot of red links. Could you fix some of them? Renata3 12:43, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I've not had much time for editing lately. Will try to write some basic stubsFornadan (t) 20:19, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Good luck with that. I think a short text on Sverris saga would be especially helpful for the readers, giving them a better idea of the historical sources for the events related in the article. I've watched you put a lot of effort into this article, Fornadan, and I hope to see more of your work in the future. - Haukur Þorgeirsson 20:37, 21 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Will support article as is since I think it's very good. However I think it's a bit heavy on red links. Could you at least make the two red links on the lead stubs? -- Rune Welsh | &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; | Esperanza  21:49, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
