  • Claiming this for review and will try to finish it by tomorrow, but the hook meets the interest requirement (readers may wonder why Swedish masses didn't always use Swedish). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:34, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Thank you Narutolovehinata5! I'm looking forward to the review. By the way, I'm more than open for ALT suggestions if you would prefer, I think there might be enough material in the article for one (or more). This church has been through a lot. Yakikaki (talk) 16:20, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
As the article is quite long, I'll split the review into parts, but the currently proposed hook meets requirements (cited inline and interesting to a broad audience; as the source is offline I'll assume good faith on its contents). Apparently the church is considered the main church of Stockholm so it might be a good idea to mention that in the hook as well, or to propose more hooks that touched on this. I'll try to finish the remaining checks once these new hooks have been proposed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:33, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Thanks! How about: ALT1: "... that Stockholm's oldest church Storkyrkan (pictured) was the first church in Sweden where mass was celebrated in Swedish? Or how about a completely different, ALT2: "... that celebrations of military victories, commemorations of national tragedies, royal weddings, parliamentary meetings and coronations have all taken place in Storkyrkan (pictured) in Stockholm?" Yakikaki (talk) 10:12, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
I'd rewrite ALT1 as something like "ALT1a: ... that Storkyrkan (pictured), Stockholm's oldest church, was the first church in Sweden where mass was celebrated in Swedish?" so that the church is mentioned first in the hook, but otherwise it works. ALT2 is fine too, assuming good faith for the offline or Swedish sources used for it (it uses hook facts that are scattered throughout the article). The article was promoted to GA in time and no close paraphrasing was found. QPQ has been done, and all other DYK requirements are met. Image is fine and is adequately licensed. ALT1/ALT1a and ALT2 are approved, with the ALT1a wording being my preferred choice. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 01:14, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this. The hook fact about it being the oldest church in Sweden needs an inline cite in the article. Yoninah (talk) 11:15, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, thanks – there's an inline citation after "The consecration of a church is furthermore attested in 1306, making it the oldest church in Stockholm." in the "History of the building" section, almost the first sentence. Yakikaki (talk) 11:22, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Thanks. I passed that right by because I saw "oldest church" mentioned earlier. Restoring tick per Narutolovehinata5's review. Yoninah (talk) 11:37, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
