  • Pictogram voting keep.svg (Without image) Length and date of creation both check out fine. Hook claim is referenced inline to offline sources which are AGF. Paraphrasing checks carried out on the two online sources, both are fine. Image copyright status checks out okay, but given that the use of Nazi images is illegal in Germany and a number of other European countries, I would strongly advise against using them on the main page.

    How far-reaching are the laws against this? The article contains a lot of images that I'd never seen before (and I lived with a collector of WWII memorabilia for a while!), so I'm wondering if the most esoteric or uncommon runes listed might work for a good image—something plain and striking would be an eye-catching choice for the main page provided it wasn't covered by the ban on Nazi insignia. For instance, beyond the doings of those who used it, File:Runic letter hagall.svg has no strong associations with the regime. Just a thought, really. GRAPPLE X 01:46, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
