[edit]
  • "at a cost of 60 million Norwegian krone (approximately €7.5 million)" - For the Norwegian currency, use the symbol for it here (if there is one). For the pound, wlink it ()
 Done The Norwegian krone has no symbol, they just use "kroner" after the value. Also, that's a Euro sign not a pound, but I've linked to it as suggested. Seaserpent85 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • All the references need publisher information, as well as author/date where known
 Done Although I've never seen the publisher field used for unknown websites. Seaserpent85 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there an English equivalent for ref 2 (perhaps translate using Babelfish)
I've had to use my basic German skills here, there's no translation available. Babelfish gives a basic translation but not good enough to be used as a source. Seaserpent85 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Construction was completed in December 2005..." - ref needed for this sentence
 Done Seaserpent85 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Speed Monster is the world's first roller coaster to feature a "Norwegian Loop"" - wikilink Norwegian Loop here
 Done Seaserpent85 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there any more information available...?
There isn't a lot of factual information available, it's mainly just user revies in forums which are subjective. Seaserpent85 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • A few more comments here.
Same as above and I've linked the element in question. Seaserpent85 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I left a note here in the hope that someone with more German knowledge can help out. I'll pass anyway. Dihydrogen Monoxide 22:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
