"He was a member of the Standing Committee on Finance in 1992, a Member of Parliament from 1993-1997". The standing committee is a part of the parliament, so he would have to have been a parliamentarian also at that point. I notice that also the Norwegian Bokmål Wikipedia presents this contradiction. It should be cleard up. __ meco ( talk) 23:35, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
The decription of the 1983 local election in Oslo goes into minute details and perhaps even anecdotal information that is unnecessary. This should be pruned. Also the Turkey incident should go into a separate section as it is lost where it currently is. Also, the mention of the photograph which was confiscated appears as somewhat digressive, and without further information I find it non-notable. __ meco ( talk) 16:04, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
I was considering nominating this article for WP:DYK, however, I believe it is too much in need of copy-editing and pruning in its current state to be presented on the front page. That in my perception also means it has no chance of attaining GA status before these issues are resolved. When the article becomes better organized and proof-read I will consider DYK'ing it. __ meco ( talk) 16:41, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

I've done a fair bit of copyediting. In addition to removing a few grammatical abnormalities and removin some Norwenglish, I have shortened down some sections simply because there are a lot more efficient ways of saying the same thing. For instance, the lead now says exactly the same thing, but says the most important information first, and uses less words.
I am placing the article on hold. For you next nomination, I would expect the article to have less overlinking. Also try to remember to use 's for possessive. In addition, I would have liked to see more about the four years he was in parliament, which should have been his climax. There is no discussion about what he did or took up during those four years. Also, please take a good look at the diff of my copyedit. There are a lot of style and grammar issues that need to be improved (learning by doing etc.) Arsenikk (talk) 13:46, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
The article is now passed. Arsenikk (talk) 16:11, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
I hope and suggest that articles or at least one article will be written specifically on the matters of public and private corruption uncovered by Erling Folkvord. That is definitely encyclopedic and notable subject matter but may necessitate some work. __ meco ( talk) 22:55, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
The last sentence in the lead, "Folkvord is known as a highly respected and popular politician, even among voters on the political right.", needs a more up-to-date reference than a news article from 1992. I am myself a member of the Norwegian Young Conservatives, and I have never met any rightist who has had anything positive to say about Folkvord. The sentence should either be removed or given a better reference. -- Eisfbnore ( talk) 20:40, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
"He grew to be one of the most influential far-left socialists in Norway, but he has struggled with popular support during elections, Folkvord is known as a highly respected and popular politician, even among voters on the political right. [1] " -- Sølvguttene ( talk) 05:52, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
