... that a factory established by Ole Gabriel Kverneland in 1879 became the largest manufacturer of ploughs in Norway in the 1920s?

~~Alt 1... that ploughmaker Ole Gabriel Kverneland was knighted among the Order of St. Olav in 1938?~~

Just at the limit sizewise, sort of PR speech, imho sorta close to the sources. The hook is quite Norwegian, the largest plowmaker in 1920's Norway is not of global interest. Provide some more stuff, reduce the PR and ja vi elsker dette artikler. Serten (talk) 20:49, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

The alt1 hook that was added by the "reviewer", but placed above my signature, has been moved to its proper place. I do not know if the above "review" is a joke or serious, and therefore request another review in accordance with the DYK review instructions and the DYK Reviewing guide.

This article is new enough and long enough. The original hook is interesting and has an inline citation to a reliable source. I thought the article neutral and did not detect any close paraphrasing in the Norwegian language sources which I checked with Google Translate. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:34, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
