I'm happy to pass, though first interested in nominator's response to the article essentially being sourced from a single source. Are there any other reliable sources available?--Coin945 (talk) 01:47, 21 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello Coin945 and thanks for the review! Apologies for my somewhat delayed response. The article is based on one book (Wahlöö) and one article (Eriksson), which is mainly about the murals. Having written about the medieval churches in Scania for some time now, I'm sorry to say that this is unusually good. There are 271 medieval churches in the province, and many of them are hardly studied in any depth at all. However, Wahlöö's book covers all of them, briefly but systematically and has proved to be surprisingly reliable also when I've double checked it with primary sources on a few occasions. Eriksson's article is an unusual treat, since it goes into detail about the murals in several ways. I have consulted the standard bibliography (Skånska kyrkor. Kapell, kloster och andra kyrkliga byggnader from 1985) but it doesn't list anything more usable, unfortunately. The murals and the bellfry are mentioned in passing in a relatively recent, good quality overview over the churches of the province published by the Swedish Heritage Board (Available for free here), and the official website of the parish has a very brief description of the church. I could add a few notes from these, but that's about it. Would that be enough, do you think? I'm the first to deplore this strange state of affairs. The contrast is quite striking compared e.g. with the coverage the churches on Gotland have received. Yakikaki (talk) 09:07, 23 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Sorry to bother you Coin945, but would you mind taking a look at this again? I've added the sources I mentioned. Thanks. Yakikaki (talk) 10:31, 30 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
