• "at a cost of 60 million Norwegian krone (approximately €7.5 million)" - For the Norwegian currency, use the symbol for it here (if there is one). For the pound, wlink it (€)

Y Done The Norwegian krone has no symbol, they just use "kroner" after the value. Also, that's a Euro sign not a pound, but I've linked to it as suggested. Seaserpent⁸⁵ 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

• All the references need publisher information, as well as author/date where known

Y Done Although I've never seen the publisher field used for unknown websites. Seaserpent⁸⁵ 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

• Is there an English equivalent for ref 2 (perhaps translate using Babelfish)

I've had to use my basic German skills here, there's no translation available. Babelfish gives a basic translation but not good enough to be used as a source. Seaserpent⁸⁵ 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

• "Construction was completed in December 2005..." - ref needed for this sentence

Y Done Seaserpent⁸⁵ 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

• "Speed Monster is the world's first roller coaster to feature a "Norwegian Loop"" - wikilink Norwegian Loop here

• Is there any more information available...?

There isn't a lot of factual information available, it's mainly just user revies in forums which are subjective. Seaserpent⁸⁵ 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

• • A few more comments here.

Same as above and I've linked the element in question. Seaserpent⁸⁵ 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

OK, I left a note here in the hope that someone with more German knowledge can help out. I'll pass anyway. — Dihydrogen Monoxide 22:08, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
