[edit] Swedish Victory vs Danish Defeat
I changed the latter to the former. Seems more uniform.

How can you call it that, in a battle between two Danish figures? --Arigato1 23:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, as much as I've heard, Sweden wasn't involved. Said: Rursus 13:23, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Uh... What?!
This is all crazy. I mean, when you look at the more factual (?) written accounts of Homer and the writings of the Romans and Egyptions you do get a grain of truth. "Odin came down and took him to Valhalla." Isn't that a bit POVy? I dunno. Northern Barbarians, they need to learn to write stuff down.
- The preceding line, describing Harald as being 157 years old seems a little unlikely also, but again is stated as fact. I wouldn't be so quick to state that Homer's, the Romans' and the Egyptions' writings of this and most other events aren't saddled with POV either though. Canderra 15:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The notes
In the notes, I don't think we need Swedish text and English translation side by side, I think translation is enough. Opinionatetis Vostri! Said: Rursus 13:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Birger Nerman
Birger Nerman was part of the nationalist reaction to modern historical research, that was brought to Sweden by the Weibull brothers. Nerman was never a mainstream historian i Sweden during his lifetime. To quote him now as a reference for facts of history is rather fringy. To try to suppress the fact that Nerman was nationalistic reeks of censorship. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 18:03, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Response to Berig's edit summary
I restored just restored what Mrund had written in this edit. Berig is still clinging to old wives' tales about former Swedish battles. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 09:12, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Wikipedia policy is explicitly against the expression of editors' opinions in the articles per WP:OR. If you reinsert an unreferenced personal opinion, you have to stand for it as your own.--Berig (talk) 14:15, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
