Advent Sunday celebrated in the Vaxholm Church

Comment: I would like to hold this for November 29, and have the photo used (Advent Sunday). Apologies, but this got moved out of draft space three weeks earlier than I had planned.

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. I see no objection to keeping this for Advent Sunday, November 29. The image is suitably licensed and suitable for that day, but not particularly relevant for either hook.

- Hi, I came by to promote this for November 27. The first hook is great and the image is good, but they don't have anything to do with each other. Gerda, do you want to mention Advent Sunday in the hook? Yoninah (talk) 12:44, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  1st Advent is 29. No time right now to read and propose, perhaps tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:48, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I pinged the wrong nominator. Pinging evrik. I think ALT0 is more suitable for the quirky slot. Yoninah (talk) 14:50, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary belfry of the Vaxholm Church

Vaxholm Church

Here is a photo of the belfry. --evrik ^(talk) 21:12, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah I wrote this piece because of the photo. The photo was taken on Advent Sunday, which this year is 11/29. Yes, the hooks don't mention the photo, but the photo mentions the church. --evrik ^(talk) 20:05, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Evrik: It would seem more appropriate to use a photo of the church. Yoninah (talk) 20:07, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah, it is the church interior. I don't have a better argument than that. Pick your favorite hook. If you run it on 11/27, great. If you run it on 11/29, please use the advent Sunday photo. Thank you for reaching out to me. --evrik ^(talk) 21:12, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just pic comment: the 1st Advent Sunday pic is not showing much about this specific church, and could be combined with almost any hook mentioning the day. Perhaps next year. I plan to write an article on an Advent hymn this year, but it's not specific to the 1st Sunday. Check if the pic could be included elsewhere, such as Advent and related articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:03, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ps: the pic wouldn't work well with German topics because we usually have Advent wreaths, not four in a row. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:10, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2:... that the Vaxholm Church (pictured), built in 1803, has an aisleless nave with a short cross arm and a full-width quire? Legars, Niss Maria (2004). "Vaxholms kyrka". Stockholm: Stockholms stift. Retrieved 2011-09-13.

@Evrik: sorry, something's not clear to me. If I don't run it on November 27, can I run it any other date? Like in December? Yoninah (talk) 21:26, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah, I had hoped to get the Advent Sunday photo in the church featured on 11/29. If it doesn't run on that day, it doesn't matter when it is run, or the photo used. --evrik ^(talk) 21:47, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK. The article has a dead link, and I also can't find the information cited to footnote 6 in the source (it only mentions there was an overgrown birdbath). Yoninah (talk) 11:51, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah I fixed the deadlink, and footnote 6 information is found mostly in the third paragraph of the page. --evrik ^(talk) 16:23, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Evrik: thank you. There's one more "citation needed" tag. Yoninah (talk) 22:10, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah Back at ya. --evrik ^(talk) 01:37, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
