Overall this is a good article, though I have a few issues:

"Meisalshagen was born on 17 March 1903 in Nord-Aurdal as a son of smallholder and joiner Ole Meisdalshagen and Marit Myren." What is a smallholder and joiner, exactly?
"Meisdalshagen then returned to Parliament, this time as a member of the now-defunct Standing Committee on Agriculture." Any specifics on moving from the cabinet back to the parliament at that time.

Just a couple things, so I'll put it on hold for a couple days and pass upon completion. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:52, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A person can be elected to Parliament (always for a four-year term), then appointed to the cabinet, then if the person leaves the cabinet s/he will simply return to the parliament seat, provided that the four years haven't expired. I'll see if I can add an explanation and a reference tomorrow, if it's necessary. Geschichte (talk) 23:01, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ok. When I read it, it sounded like it was a gap greater than four years, hence my confusion. If it was not then it's probably not needed. In that case just fix the first comment. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 06:07, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added a small explanation, for inexperienced readers. The first comment I tried to fix by linking the two terms. Geschichte (talk) 08:26, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That helps. Looks good now, so I'll pass the article as a GA. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 01:15, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
