OLaf is a bit unfortunate version of the name, as in Norwegian he was Olav, not Olaf, and in no other language there is Olaf, I think. Arrigo 12:11, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

It should obviously be merged as it concerns the same person. Just a need to decide what to merge it under. (Barend 13:01, 18 January 2006 (UTC))

The merge should be to this article which has the std Wikipedia form for names of Kings. Wrt Olav vz. Olaf, afaik the Old Norse form would be Olaf, current Norwegian usage is Olav, and I frankly have no idea what his contemporaries would use. -- Egil 06:57, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

• No this is not correct. http://www.heimskringla.no/faeroysk/folkekvad/ormurinlangi.php As you can see its still Olav in Faroese. -Nastykermit

For reference, the name of the article that has been merged into this one was Olof Haakonson. I will remove the mergefrom template. Ardric47 23:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

No, this article should be renamed Oluf II of Denmark, because he was king of Denmark first and Norway second (and both only by name). No offense, but don't let any nationalistic Norwegians fool you into thinking otherwise... --dllu 12:37, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

• Nationalistic Norwegians? Please, you Danes have an army of nationalists editing all pages that has anything to do with Norwegian-Danish relations.* -nastykermit
