Non-prose review (from here)

• No DABs but two dead links
  • Archives added. Arsenikk ^(talk) 15:03, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

• Klevberg, Håvard (1996) needs a language parameter, assuming it's in Norwegian
  • Fixed. Arsenikk ^(talk) 15:03, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

• References 30, 45, 47, 54, 55 need a language parameter. Also, I am not familiar with Norwegian websites, what makes reference 30 reliable?
  • Parameters fixed. Ref 30 is a transcription of an article in the magazine of a trade union for aircraft mechanics. I would consider the magazine reliable and thus also the transcription. I can reformat the ref to cite the magazine instead if that is preferable. Arsenikk ^(talk) 15:03, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
    • It looks fine cited the way it is.

• Where did you find the offline newspaper references?
  • They are available through Atext, a proprietary and closed resource available through my university which allows searchable access to printed newspapers in an archive. Thus I have actually read all the newspaper articles. Arsenikk ^(talk) 15:03, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
    • Good to know.

• File licensing checks out.

I will start the prose review when these are responded to. Albacore (talk) 20:44, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Lead

• Checks out.

History

• Increased military funding was granted from 1937 and the following year, a triangular runway was built at Banak. Ambiguous, I would add a comma after "1937" to make clear the runway was built in 1938. To me, it currently sounds like funding was granted from 1937 and the following year.
  • Fixed. This is exactly the issues I need a second pair of eyes to look at :) Arsenikk ^(talk) 17:37, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

• In 1945, the air force operated a service from Bardufoss Air Station via Banak to Kirkenes Airport, Høybuktmoen, with correspondence to Oslo at Bardufoss. I don't understand what is meant by "service" here. Can you find a more specific term? I also don't understand what is meant by "correspondence".
  • Should be better now. Arsenikk ^(talk) 17:37, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

• Finnmark was regarded as a tripwire and was to be sacrificed in case of a Soviet invasion. Can you link "tripwire" somewhere, and who regarded Finnmark as a tripwire?
  • Linked. Arsenikk ^(talk) 17:37, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Operational history

The rest of the article checks out. I will pass when these are responded to. Albacore (talk) 16:30, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
