The article appears to contain several grammatical errors, in particular in relation to the general references made to the Viking side; in addition, further editing of the individual categories within the article may remain necessary, as well as further references. Following further work on the article, it may qualify for the Did You Know? section. SurenGrig07 (talk) 22:34, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
?? I've changed a couple of things, & it looks ok to me, except for lower-casing "vikings", which I'm not used to, but i'm not sure is actually wrong. Johnbod (talk) 00:07, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Don't want to butt in, but both the main Vikings wiki article and the source that's given for the hook consistently spell it "Vikings" with an uppercase V. -- Arcaistcontribs• talk 11:05, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I was unsure of the capitalisation of Viking, but I've now completed the work others started by using a capital v, and in using the traditional spellings of Osberht, Ælla, etc. These spellings should probably be updated in the hook as well, does this require an alternative hook be proposed? I will also admit I'm not sure about the specifics of categories, but what was the issue with them here? CSJJ104 (talk) 12:39, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'd just change them now. I've made 2 changes to categories. Johnbod (talk) 13:43, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Updated spelling in hook. CSJJ104 (talk) 16:47, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just realised the rules allow for this icon to be added. Presuming I'm not too late, the grammar issues have been corrected and the categories updated. Please can this be reviewed again? --CSJJ104 (talk) 22:16, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
New enough, long enough, hook is good and sourced, QPQ not needed. No copyvios. All good to go. VincentLUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 09:13, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
