Can you add the coordinates?♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:43, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Lead

• Myrdal doesn't link to a settlement.
  • I've fixed the link and I'll make an article when I have a little more time. Arsenikk ^(talk) 13:28, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Route

• Myrdal link needs fixing.
• The digits you've added like 20.20, 2.20, 4.40 etc I think the zero is superfluous and it would be better as 20.2, 2.2, 4.4 etc.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:48, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
  • All the distances are measured by 10-meter intervals, so the 0 becomes part of the number of significant digits. Arsenikk ^(talk) 13:28, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
• "the valley widens and changes character, becoming flatter and filled with more contrast." What is meant by "filled with more contrast"?♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:51, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
  • I've rephrased a little; although not as true to the source, I it definitively accurate, as the upper part of the line as more barren. Arsenikk ^(talk) 13:28, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

History

The currency figures. It would be useful to see some currency conversion into dollars or something as NOK 3.5 million could be anything! I think it would give non Norwegian readers a better perspective. Although historical conversions may be significantly different. Just a suggestion anyway.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:55, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

I have come across this discussion before, and there is consensus that conversion, particularly of historical values, will not give an encyclopedic result without bias. Arsenikk ^(talk) 13:28, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Operations

"By then ridership had reached 175,000" What do you mean? 175,000 passengers per annum? Can you reword to make clearer?♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:40, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

• Fixed. Arsenikk ^(talk) 13:28, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Section has quite a few red links. Do you plan on blue linking any?♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:45, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

• Some of the links (Gudvangen Tunnel, B3, Myrdal) are on my short list, the others I might create one day; they are all clearly notable topics. I no longer really like to create many stub articles, instead preferring somewhat longer articles, thus I don't "fill inn" as many red links any more. Arsenikk ^(talk) 13:28, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the review. Sorry for the delay, but I am traveling and have limited access to the Internet. I will probably not be able to follow up on any issues until I return home on 5 April. Arsenikk ^(talk) 13:28, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
