  • Hook: Interest factor is good (got me to review, at least). Short enough. AGF on Swedish source.
Article: The lede is too long for the article (it is currently 1/3 of the article). Size and newness check out. Referencing is fine. AGF on Swedish sources.
Summary: Not specifically a DYK criteria, but the lede should be trimmed a bit. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:17, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
I've shortened the lead a bit... any better? Canadian Paul 17:59, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
