The northernmost point is generally recognized to be
Grenen, not the entire Odde (which is an area not a point) so I suggest a refactor of the hook to reflect this. The hook is also not supported by the reference to the Swedish state encyclopedia, which is also an odd choice of source given that the Great Danish Encyclopedia has a more detailed coverage
[1]. Otherwise length, newness checks out.

Thanks for the review. Fixed Grenen in the article text. Hook modified as AlT1 ... that
Grenen in Skagen Odde(pictured) is the northernmost point of
Denmark? --Nvvchar. 01:30, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
Thatøs better, but it is still not supported by any of the two sources - neither of them mention the fact that Grenen is the Northenmost point. It shouldnt be too difficult to find a better source that does mention it though..

Fixed a book reference. I hope it is ok now.--Nvvchar. 09:47, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
I am sorry but the book does not say that the spit is the northernmost point of Denmark, just the northernmost point of Skagen Odde. Try these references

Grenen(pictured)? --
