I said in an edit summary that the trivia section was getting out of hand and removed the random collection of references found there. They are back, with the edit summary Says you; most pop culture pages list and all their examples until they warrant their own article. Please read WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. A bullet point list of random references can never warrant a wikipedia article. Also, the section as it now stands does not comply with basic style guidelines which mandate that we write our articles as coherent text. Stefán 17:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
What is the etymology of the name Jörmundgandr, really? I've never heard that name used outside of english. Xavius, the Satyr Lord ( talk) 12:12, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't "Midgard Serpent" be one of the names in bold? It's a much more recognizable title than the last few names, and the first mention of it in Thor's article is as The Midgard Serpent. I've never heard an English speaker refer to it as "Midgarsormen" (Which I assume means Midgard Serpent) or the World Serpent. 66.167.234.246 ( talk) 21:05, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
I have not been able to find a reference for this comment: "When he [the serpent] lets go the world will end". I know Ragnarok coincides with the serpent spewing poison and the wolf doing its thing etc. But this article implies that the end of the world is brought on by the serpent letting go if its tale. Is that so, and can we have a reference for this? Thanks. Tanyushka ( talk) 01:20, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
If anyone could add the etymology of the name Jörmungandr to the article, it would be most appreciated. 209.2.214.97 ( talk) 18:12, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
Jörmungandr appeared in an episode of DuckTales (2017). Should I add this to the article? CoolSwitch4212 ( talk) 19:11, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
@ Ingwina:, u recently removed my edits to the box (by reverting several unrelated changes instead of just deleting the code...) with the comment: "Open for discussion on this but this box appears to not be helpful to me as the information is oversimplified and overgeneralising. Do we necessarily have reason to believe for example that he always had an affiliation to "Loki's host" beyond Ragnarok? Is he best described as a member of the "kin Jotnar"? Replaced image was not a problem either just as it wasn't in line with the editors tastes." Boxes are always oversimplified and overgeneralising on Wikipedia and its always a battle to fit the most relevant information. As for the affiliation part, i implemented it to clarify his affiliation during Ragnarök. As for his kin, he is ethnically a jötunn by his parents, as both are jötnar. It is unclear if the serpent body is a cursed hamr but technically there is no written text which says jötnar has to be humanoid. Blockhaj ( talk) 15:11, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
