- Comment: Special occasion nomination for October 9 (Leif Erikson Day)

- Hi Ffranc, review follows: article created 31 August and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing formt he sources (AGF on Norwegian sources); hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; I changed the link from Viking ship replica to Viking (replica Viking longship) which is the actual ship in question, feel free to revert if you like; image is freely and appropriately licensed; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me, nice article - Dumelow (talk) 08:43, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Dumelow. This was also a special occasion nomination for Leif Erikson Day. I've never done one of these before, but it seems you have to approve it as suitable for the date too, and move it to the special occasion holding area if it passes.
