On 21 June 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to Kingdom of Denmark. The result of the discussion was no consensus. |
I feel like wording, here, reads like a non sequitur:
"In general, there are two conflicting views: (a) the laws delegate power from the Folketing and can be revoked unilaterally by it, and (b) the laws have special status so changes require the consent of the Faeroese Løgting or the Greenlandic Inatsisartut, respectively.
Proponents of the first interpretation include Alf Ross, Poul Meyer, and Jens Peter Christensen. Ross, the chief architect of the Faeroese home rule, compared it to an extended version of the autonomy of municipalities. Meyer wrote in 1947, prior to the Faeroese home rule, that if power was delegated as extensive in other parts of the country, it would probably breach section 2 of the 1915 constitution, suggesting it did not do that here due to the Faroe Islands' separate history. Similarly, Christensen, a Supreme Court judge, said that due to the special circumstances, the scope of delegation need not be strictly defined."
Ostensibly, the second paragraph is supposed to the explain/address the reasoning of point (a) in the first paragraph - that the Folketing can unilaterally revoke home rule/self rule - but it doesn't feel like it's even related. In fact, if there is any relation at all, it almost implies the reasoning of point (b) given that the paragraph appears to remark more than once about how special/disintinct the relationship between these places and Denmark Proper is .
Does someone fluent in Danish want to rewrite this part to make it flow better? Criticalthinker ( talk) 09:47, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
Any reason the name of the article isn't 'The unity of the Realm'? On Google, this gives 1.8M results while "Danish realm" only gives 122K results. Semsûrî ( talk) 22:29, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
Greenland, already populated by the Indigenous Greenlandic Inuit, was settled by Norwegians in the 10th century, among those Erik the Red
This is factually wrong! The Norse arrived to Southern Greenland around 900 and there were no Inuit or other peoples around.
The Inuit Thule culture migrated from present day Canada to Northern Greenland around 1300 only reacing Southern Greenland around 1500.
The arctic Dorset culture was present in Northern Greenland around 900, but it was outcompeted and anihilated by the Inuit Thule Culture.
It is a totally false statement to claim that there was an Inuit population in Greenland when the Norse arrived.
The Norse in Greenland were in this respect, just as indigenous to Southern Greenland.
