  • ... that Dalby Church (pictured) in Sweden may once have been part of a Danish royal palace complex? Source: Andrén 2012, p. 359 makes the claim most forecully.
    • ALT1:... that Dalby Church (pictured) is sometimes claimed to be the oldest stone church in the Nordic countries still in use? Source: Dahlberg & Sjöstrom 2015, p. 57, for example. Several sources quoted in the article, making this claim.

  • I'll take this. GA promotion confirmed, GA review looks fine, QPQ looks good, it seems neutral, and plagiarism seems doubtful (at worst it's to offline sources). Original hook is verified (can't check Andren but did check a Google Translation of https://www.tidskriftenale.nu/pdfale/ALE-1966-3_v02.pdf , looks good). Both hooks are somewhat interesting, but in the name of making a shorter and less confusing hook, I'll suggest Alt 2, a variant on the original hook:
  • ALT2: ... that Dalby Church (pictured) may once have been part of a Danish royal palace complex?
I think the original's "in Sweden", while perhaps spurring interest at the incongruity, also seems like it'd just be a tad confusing. And it's not really relevant to the hook anyway. Anyway, are you okay with ALT2, User:Yakikaki? SnowFire (talk) 00:36, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi, thanks a lot for the review SnowFire! I'm more than okay with ALT2, I think it's better and more succinct. Yakikaki (talk) 08:33, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Ship it, preferably ALT2 per above. Nice work! SnowFire (talk) 14:13, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
