... that Canute's Palace (pictured) had no connection with King Canute, nor was it a palace?

I suggest replacing "King Canute" with "Canute the Great", as there have been several kings named Canute and it doesn't hurt to be precise. He is almost always called "the Great" anyway. No copyright violation. Everything checks out, including the hook, but you still need to review another nomination. Surtsicna (talk) 15:40, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

I prefer the original hook - I have never heard "King Canute" referred to as "Canute the Great" outside Wikipedia; ultimately, that decision is up to the hook's promoter. Could you now sign off your review. Thanks. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 07:17, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Never? Really? I've seen him referred to as such couple of times, including the almighty official website of the British monarchy. If the name is indeed that uncommon, there's a big problem to be reported at Talk:Cnut the Great. Anyway, everything seems to be OK. Surtsicna (talk) 19:11, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
