Krag-Jørgensen[edit]

Selfnomination. Was listed for FAC earlier [1] without success - but I think all issues raised then has been addressed, as well as the article significantly expanded in all areas. I believe the article, as it stands now, give a comprehensive overview of the subject (one of the early repeating, bolt action rifles, adopted by Denmark, the USA and Norway).

    Will attemt to get references and notes into compliance with guidelines tomorrow (too late right now, sorry). Have taken the suggestion of using 'ibid' to heart. All info on sources are in footnotes / reference section - had just forgotten to remove the line. WegianWarrior 21:25, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Support. I concur with the supporting remarks above. I will add that although I am not a true "gun nut" (unlike some of my relatives), I still found the article quite interesting. Edeans 05:04, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Wow, nice work. Much improved from when it was first on peer review. I didn't happen to check all the images, are they all properly licensed? - Taxman 21:59, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)
    Yes - the lineart is from Norwegian Army manuals in the years up to 1923 and the black and white photo is from 1905; so they should all be free of copyright. The colour photos are taken by me last saturday and can be used freely. WegianWarrior 04:18, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
