Awesome! You just created a pull request to the Citation Styles Language styles repository. One of our human volunteers will try to get in touch soon (usually within a week). In the meantime, I will run some automated checks. You should be notified of the results in a few minutes. If you haven't done so yet, please make sure your style validates and follows all our other Style Requirements. To update this pull request, visit the "Files changed" tab above, and click on the pencil icon (see below) in the top-right corner of your style to start editing. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and we'll get back to you. While we usually respond in English, feel free to write in whatever language you're most comfortable. |

Is there any documentation for APA in Norwegian this is based on? We did have this for German and Danish. |

There is. We have made an attempt to standardise a Norwegian translation/adaptation of the APA referencing style, as various university web sites had somewhat different interpretations, leading to confusion. This standard is backed by Søk og Skriv, a collaboration between the libraries of UiO, UiB and HVL, Kildekompasset, a collaboration of USN, UiS and UiA, VIKO (NTNU), OsloMet, INN and UiT. (That's an awful lot of institutions, but not so many people.) |

That's terrific. We'd love the CSL APA to be listed on the style's page if that's possible. |

I think we'll do that. But is it possible to turn off the serial (Oxford) comma for one language? The serial comma doesn't work in Norwegian (and probably not in Danish either), at least not in in-text citations. |

Similar to German and Danish in #4066.
