I propose that Fridtjof Nansen Museum be merged into this article. The article itself was created today, and was mostly incoherent gibberish, which I condensed down to a. It includes a bunch of nice images, though these should be checked for copyright issues (I have not had the opportunity nor is it my particular area of expertise). This page seems to make no mention of the museum dedicated to him in Yerevan, Armenia and it probably should. Merging some (or just 1) of the photos into a section or just a sentence in the 'death and legacy' section and converting the article to a redirect seems like it would work well to me. — Insert CleverPhrase Here 11:44, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

The main portrait at the top of the page says it was taken in 1915, 15 years before his death. The picture is of a fairly young man, though he would have been in his mid 50s at the time. The pictures of Nansen taken in 1925 are of a clearly older man, who looks rightfully in his 60s (because he was). The pictures of him in the 1880s look far more like the supposed 1915 photo than it does the temporally nearer 1925 photo. Unless his Dorian Grey portrait was destroyed sometime between 1915 and 1925, it's hard for me to believe that the main portrait is correctly cited as having been taken in 1915. 174.25.126.57 ( talk) 04:34, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
"This office received the Nobel Peace Prize for 1938" should read "This office received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1938" - However, as a standard user I can't edit it myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Florian.lancelle ( talk • contribs) 07:02, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
I have added a photo taken from Nansen's book. It is of the boats as they departed for the interior of Greenland, carefully arranged to protect what supplies they could not take with them, I believe. It is part of lore that Nansen burned the boats to ensure a successful expedition - the vikings would do this on arrival at some newly conquered land, it seems. In any case, the boat burning story is certainly not true, and this is partly the motivation for including this particular photo. Bdushaw ( talk) 11:08, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
Perhaps a technical question on language usage on Wikipedia: I noted that an editor recently removed Constantinople, as in "Nansen traveled to Contantinople" in favor of Istanbul. To my ear "Nansen traveled to Istanbul" is an anachronism (yes?) - but what is the best usage in this circumstance, and others like it, on Wikipedia? Should modern terms be used in these circumstances? Or should we use the contemporary terms? Bdushaw ( talk) 17:42, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Please add the year (1930) to the caption of the photograph in the 'Later life' section (the current caption is not very informative).

This sounds like WP:TRIVIA. Who was this Wilhelm, and what does it matter if Nansen happened to be friends with him? Muzilon ( talk) 01:12, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
