Gabriel Langfeldt

(

• Back to T:TDYK

)

• ... that after Gabriel Langfeldt diagnosed Knut Hamsun as having "permanently impaired mental capabilities", Hamsun portrayed Langfeldt negatively in his book On Overgrown Paths?

• Reviewed: Jan Matejko

5x expanded by Iselilja (talk). Self nominated at 18:32, 29 January 2015 (UTC).

• 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well-referenced. As most sources are foreign-language or offline, unable to check thoroughly for close paraphrasing. The first part of the hook needs an inline cite in the article right after the sentence in question. The second part of the hook is AGF and cited inline. QPQ done. I tweaked the hook slightly, and also added User:Oceanh to the creation credits, as he started the article and made more contributions during the expansion. The only lingering issue is a missing word at the end of the 5th paragraph under Psychiatric evaluation of Knut Hamsun. Otherwise, an interesting read. Yoninah (talk) 00:27, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Esemono (talk) 06:47, 3 March 2015 (UTC) specifically this sentence: Langfeldt in 1952 put more emphasis on organic brain disease than on _____________?

Sorry for the delay. Hope it is OK now (allthough I will acknowledge that there is room for improvement regarding the findings in the psychiatric evaluation which formed the background for the diagnosis). And thanks for adding Ocean to the contributor list; fully agree on that. Iselilja (talk) 23:33, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

• @Iselilja: thank you for adding that word. What about the cite for the first part of the hook fact? Yoninah (talk) 17:39, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

@Yoninah:Truly sorry about being so unconcentrated; and missing inline refs for the diagnosis (which I believe is what you were requesting?). I have added three refs now; two of them are English refs with links to Google books (but I haven't figured out how to link directly to the Google books, so the links are messy search theme links). The translation of "varige svekkede sjelsevner" varies slightly, I think I chose the one that is used in Hamsun's own Wikipedia article. One of my English refs says "permanent mental impairment" and the other "permanently impaired mental capabilities". I also inserted a photo of Langfeldt; which I uploaded to Commons myself after I found it at Digitalt Museum (NO) with a CC-BY-SA licence from Oslo Museum (which uploaded it to Digitalt Museum). I cropped it though before I uploaded it because it included a portrait of Langfeldt which I am not sure is out of copyright despite the licence. Iselilja (talk) 00:40, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

• Thank you. The first part of the hook is now verified and cited inline. I tweaked the wording of the diagnosis in the hook per one of your English citations; I think a citation to a book is better than the Wikipedia article about Hamsun. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 00:12, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
