... that Niels Kaas (pictured) was the chancellor of Denmark during the late 1500s?

Article is long enough and new enough. Some uncited paragraphs which mean that the article can't pass at present. The opening sentence of the article is rather weak - it doesn't really set the scene ("he was a Danish chancellor" - "what does that mean?", thinks the reader. If you read on, you discover he was the Chancellor of Denmark for over 20 years and a rather powerful man!) Bencherlite ^Talk 07:15, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

The paragraphs were translated (see talk page). - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 21:50, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
The intro has also been updated. - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 21:55, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for improving the introduction, but if the uncited paragraphs can't be or won't be given references, or we're just relying on a foreign Wikipedia as a source, then this won't be appearing on DYK per D2 and D4. Bencherlite ^Talk 09:24, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Sourced. - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 21:06, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

. Good to go. Checked what I could of the source using Google Translate and couldn't see problems with verification. Image is fine for main page use as well. I've copyedited the text but not, I hope, altered the sense in any places. Thanks for responding so positively! Bencherlite ^Talk 14:20, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
