[edit]
  • Reviewed: NA

Created by Geschichte (talk). Nominated by Oceanh (talk) at 12:28, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

  • Date and size okay. No where in the article I can see that he served the bank for 26 years. Vensatry (Ping me) 13:30, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
  • Thank you for the review and for alt hook. True, it is not quite clear from the article that he served for 26 years. The succession box shows that he held this position from 1920 to 1946 (which we normally call 26 years although it may vary from 25 to 27), and the claim is supported in two of the references. However, the WW2 period is a bit tricky; the Central Bank was ruled both from Oslo and London, with different persons as Governor. (With all its implicated complications: "valid" bank notes were printed on requests both from the occupying Germans in Norway and the Government-in-excile London; a regime of strict prize regulations and rationing prevented inflation though.) After some considerations, I think the alt hook is just as good, so instead of updating the article, maybe we can go for that? Oceanh (talk) 14:18, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
  • Per nominator, requesting that ALT1 be reviewed, and original hook be struck. Reviewer needed. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:40, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
  • Article is new enough, long enough, adequately sourced and well-written. Offline foreign-language hook ref AGF. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:51, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
