- ALT5:... that Odense was the birthplace (presumed location pictured) of Hans Christian Andersen? --Ipigott (talk) 07:41, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
This article is a newly promoted GA, is long enough and has been nominated within the correct time frame. Going with ALT5 which has an inline citation and the second image, which has an appropriate license. Andersen was born in Odense but the house in the image is only assumed to be the correct location so I have changed the (pictured) to (presumed location pictured). I detected no policy violations.
