[edit] Correct endings

Just for the record; in Sweden, the ending of names with this form are -"dotter" not -"datter"; -datter is Danish, and -dotter is Swedish. -dottir is Icelandic. I know this is a thing only a Scandinavian would notice, but if you find a name of a Swedish woman with the ending -datter, or a Danish woman with the name -dotter, you now know the right nameform. Just for the record! I've corrected some myself.

[edit] Earliest queens

This list now includes several people living before the year 1000, all of which are of debated historicity at best (see Semi-legendary kings of Sweden). Should we keep them while acknowledging this, or wipe them out altogether? -- Jao (talk) 21:03, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I think the best way would be your first alternative. In the introduction, it could be inserted, that the queens uptil 1000 are not confirmed. To wipe them out altogether would be a little brutal. We do not know if they excisted; they might have, and if they didn't, it is still information - about legends or not. --85.226.235.206 (talk) 18:07, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
