I noted this:
> One of the earliest known letters patent is from 1458, given to Sjøfar and Nils Sigurdssøner by King Eric III.
Seems very dubious. King Eric III was deposed, and was not king of Norway after 1442. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.189.110.153 ( talk) 16:55, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Foreign noble families without recognition as Dano-Norwegian nobility

I have noticed that this article has been expanded greatly lately. While it is nice to see editors willing to work on an article, there is a rather serious issue with the recent edits; namely that the article doesn't have a single direct reference, despite its length. I know that there is often a great lack of general referencing on the Norwegian Wikipedia, but it is not acceptable here at least. If information is not directly referenced and sourced, it is actually eligible for deletion (in extreme cases), all-together. Please read Wikipedia:Citing sources (or look at other articles) if needed, and provide direct referencing for this article. If you don't want to do so, you should at least not add any more unsourced content to the article. Regards, – Bellatores (t.) 23:04, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Terms being given, without citation to reliable sources, as translations of Norwegian titles into English, e.g. "Fief count", "Fief baron" and "National baron" are not prevalent in English. They should not be used, per Neologisms. Not every non-English title has an English version that is used prevalently as a translation and when not, neologisms may not be substituted as though they are in standard English use. Variations on countly and baronial titles may simply be left as "Count" or "Baron" or can be left untranslated. That's better than making up a translation and using it as a neologism in the article.

Since the site contains "old danish nobility in Norway", still not "norwegian nobility", I find it important to informate that there are still some (proved) foreign noble names, that has been in Norway for centuries, and by a fault or misstake, plased on H. J. Huitfeldt-Kaas' list in 1886; "Foreign noble families without recognition as Dano-Norwegian nobility", today even when they are able to give a prove on the naturalisation; e.g. When the danish-norwegian Kings entitled some of the familymembers by titles and used Wohlgeboren, Welb.("Velbyrdig", "oss elskelige", "vår mann og tjener") etc before their names, which is equal to naturalisation!
I made therefor this list:
H. J. Huitfeldt-Kaas' list; "Foreign noble families without recognition as Dano-Norwegian nobility" can not be seen as a correct and complete list in all ways. Some of these noble families have in later times uncovered documents and notes that is provable on naturalisation, (e.g. The danish-norwegian Kings entitled some of the familymembers by titles and used Wohlgeboren, Welb.("Velbyrdig", "oss elskelige", "vår mann og tjener") etc before their names)

Interesting essay but part about "Primeval aristocracy" can be deleted or drastically shortened, as matter of this part is better covered in other articles and hardly is there direct connection between mediaeval or modern nobility and eg. "North Sea Land". Please read WP:CFORK, because this part is too long for accepted short summary introduction.-- Yopie ( talk) 23:32, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
The article is lovely, but needs a pretty good scrubbing. The intro uses too many POVy, peacocking terms (i.e., "supreme social, political, military class" to refer to Viking warlords) without actually providing a quick overview – the whole point of an intro, remember – of the Norse versus Danish origins of the aristocracy or (even worse) clearly stating that the whole class no longer exists except via the Danish peerage.
Also, some editor forgot WP:ENGVAR and Briticized the page's American English. I'll fix something up over the next day or two and then we can debate anything too contentious. — LlywelynII 12:39, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
I've tagged this article with {{ Refimprove}} today. Even though the article is well referenced for the parts up to the 18th century, there are very few general sources for the period after the new constitution of 1814. I can't find any sources for generalizing statements such as "several families maintained an aristocratic profile" nor "members of these families continued to play a significant rôle in the political and social life of the country" and neither for "Today this social class is a marginal factor in the community, culturally and socially as well as politically". Sources from modern history are most likely available, and should be added. Bw Orland ( talk) 10:07, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

This is yet another article where the author(s) seem(s) to have erroneously believed that "Norse" means "Norwegian" (in English
Norse refers to all Scandinavians, whether living in Scandinavia or elsewhere, speaking the
Old Norse language, i.e. also Danes and Swedes), since it lists all kinds of places and things connected to the Norse as having been Norwegian, with the
Kingdom of Dublin as a prime example. It was a Norse kingdom founded by Norse people, but it wasn't a Norwegian kingdom, and no-one knows where the original founder came from, all that is known about him is that he was Norse. Which means that the Kingdom of Dublin can't be listed as having been founded by a Norwegian aristocrat, and the same goes for all of the other places. In fact that entire section, which is totally unsourced, doesn't belong here at all since there was no such thing as a hereditary aristocracy back then, only titles directly connected to a specific function/office. Whoever had that function/office had the title connected to it, but it didn't automatically rub off on all their descendants, and thus has nothing to do with
aristocracy ("The aristocracy is a social class ... with hereditary rank and titles"
). And the rest of the article is equally off target, meaning that this article is in desperate need of a major cleanup... - Tom |
