• ALT1 ... that the seventeenth-century Swedish scholars Olaus Verelius and Johannes Schefferus disputed bitterly for almost ten years over the location of the heathen temple at Uppsala? Yngvadottir (talk) 22:11, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

• Date and length good, extremely well-referenced. Primary hook confirmed, hook fact in ALT1 AGF. (One source is in Swedish, and an untranslatable PDF; the other Google Books will only display a tiny fraction of). For that reason I'd prefer the primary to the ALT, but from the few sentences I can see on Google Books, the ALT appears to check out as well. In short, another fine article from a fine contributor.
