  • Symbol voting keep.svg Article is new and long enough, and an interesting read to boot. I don't understand Danish, so AGFing on sources, including the ones for the hook (which though, after reading the article, doesn't seem to be a controversial claim). I have added a couple of Template:T1 tags to the article but these are essentially grammatical issues that can be easily handled. Another suggestion is to format the references using standard citation templates, and complete the bibliographical information for a couple of references (eg the Den Store Danske Encyklopædi). But none of these issues should hold back the DYK.
Recommend minor grammatical alteration to the hook by replacing "contributed to establishing" by "helped establish", which rolls easier off the tongue IMO. Abecedare (talk) 01:26, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
I have edited accoding to your suggestions, and will eventually convert all the refs to Harvard format. As for the "short learnedness" it also sounds strange in Danish and I tried to translate what I understand to be its meaning namely that the proverbs represent small nuggets of "learnedness" in the sense of wisdom acquired through study. ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 01:50, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Good to go as far as I am concerned. Abecedare (talk) 01:56, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
