... that, in 1946, Flemming Helweg-Larsen became the first person executed by Denmark in more than 50 years?

Long enough, new enough, interesting enough, AGF on the hook because I can't access the link right now. No obvious copyvio and no images to get worked up about. Just one tiny point, I'm not sure about the phase "executed by Denmark", because that's anthropomorphism. Perhaps "executed in Denmark" or something similar? I'd also ask that all non-English sources are appropriately marked using the language= parameter. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:45, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll update the language parameter. To the other point, I'd originally had it "executed in Denmark", however, I don't think that's strictly true as (I think) Germany conducted executions in Denmark during WWII. Should I maybe say "executed by the Kingdom of Denmark"? Chetsford (talk) 04:14, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Well that still has the same issue, that it's the Kingdom doing the executing. But it's probably well understood what it really means, so I'll pass it with the caveat that if someone complains about it, "I told you so"! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:26, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
