It is not clear if Norseman has or had the same meaning as Norwegian or Nordmann, or perhaps the same origin (see for instance Juul Dieserud, Scandinavian Studies and Notes Vol. 8, No. 8 (NOVEMBER, 1925), pp. 233-238). Let us look at the source before we draw a conclusion. --— Erik Jr. 12:05, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
"The Norsemen were a group of Germanic people who inhabited Scandinavia and spoke what is now called the Old Norse language between c. 800 and 1300 AD.",
"Norseman means "man (in the generic sense) from the North" and applied primarily to Old Norse-speaking tribes living in southern and central Scandinavia. In history, "Norse" or "Norseman" could be any person from Scandinavia."). - Tom | Thomas.W talk 12:49, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
According to Dieserud Norway in some sources from the 12th century were used in the same sense as Scandinavia (Scantia), and that old English Northman and Norse originally meant Scandinavian - but Northman later was reserved for people from the then Kingdom of Norway. Norwegian (used at least since 16th century) have only been used about people from Norway. The term Norse, Dieserud wrote, is vague and ambiguous, but not restricted to what is now Norway. --— Erik Jr. 14:28, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
These sources use Norseman/Norse meaning Norwegian in the middle ages:
— Erik Jr. 15:36, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
Parker (Parker, P. (2015). The Northmen's Fury: A History of the Viking World. Random House.) use Norseman about people from viking-age Scandinavia that used the Old Norse language. — Erik Jr. 15:49, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
In Scandinavia the term Norrønt is used for the language and culture of Norway (present day) and Iceland in the Viking age/Middle ages, until around 1350 or 1500. Norrønt has been used in the same way as the english word Norse. — Erik Jr. 16:10, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
The article states that Norway is defined as a 21st century socialism, and links to an Argentinian newspaper. One journalist's opinion defines what a country identifies as? Not only is that utter nonsense, but even Wikipedia's own page on socialism in the 21st century doesn't mention Norway. It's clearly someone's got an agenda and the sentence should be removed or altered.
I suggest removing the first part, leaving just: The Norwegian state owns key industrial sectors such as oil (Equinor) or hydropower (Statkraft), having extensive reserves of petroleum, natural gas, minerals, lumber, seafood, and fresh water. Vomitmissile ( talk) 21:47, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
Obviously nonsense. Scholarly sources describes Norway as a coordinated market economy (along with Denmark, Germany, France, Japan etc), whereas the US and UK are regarded as liberal market economies. The Norwegian welfare state was designed partly by the centre-right parties, partly by the social democrats. Forbes ranks Norway as 15th best country for doing business. Some rankings place Norway higher, in some cases ahead of US or UK. — Erik Jr. 12:28, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
Which scholarly sources and based on what? The source ( La Nación newspaper) is a conservative or right-winged newspaper, and describes it as a unique kind of socialism based on the Norwegian state functions as the user describes above; Socialism doesn't mean is Cuba of course, or that you cannot makes business, it's just that is regulated by state in a high level without corruption. 190.194.214.51 ( talk) 22:43, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
An opinion in a newspaper is not relevant given the large volume of scholarly sources. A key source describes Norway as a kind of market/capitalist economy (Hall, P. A. & David Soskice, eds. 2001. Varieties of capitalism: The institutional foundations of comparative advantage'), other examples
--— Erik Jr. 17:59, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Wikipedia itself lists the Nordic model in their categories of socialism /info/en/?search=Socialism#Nordic_model so those mentioned sources contradicts the sources of the socialism article.
Unless Norway had recently moved out of the Nordic model, this information is wrongly erased. (I'd just readed the spanish newspaper article and there is a mistake on the title translation, the correct one of "El unico socialismo del siglo XXI" is "The only socialism of the XXI century", meaning the only one that works, which shows the point of view of the conservative newspaper about other socialist countries, but does acknowledge the functioning of Nordic model.)
Either this information should be in the article or the Socialism article is wrong; otherwise this erasing edition is not neutral.
Regards -- Agustin6 ( talk) 17:26, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
There is nothing in Socialism#Nordic_model about socialism. This short section is primarily based on Esping-Andersen, G. (1991). The three worlds of welfare capitalism. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press. Esping-Andersen's book is actually called Welfare Capitalism, not Socialism.... and is classical. — Erik Jr. 17:44, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
I only can bring sources in spanish about the subject; (I'm not aware if Norway politics changed recently though). I may add to the discussion on the Socialism article. https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/-por-que-noruega-siendo-socialista-se-convirtio-en-un-pais-rico--20145416210

Is Norway the last socialist state in Europe? When asked, the finance minister, the Labourist Sigbjørn Johnsen, smiles and moves on to another topic. At the end of the interview, the director of communication puts things in place with an icy gesture: "Socialists, yes, but democratic."

It should be written more about Norway's participation in this war on the German side. Also about 532 Jews sent by the norwegian police by the ship "Donau" to the concentration camps in 1942. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.177.2.232 ( talk) 06:47, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
Norway did not participate on the German side. Norway was a neutral country and was invaded by Germany, and tacitly allied with Britain. Norway's legitimate government officially joined the Allies later. The German occupant installed the Quisling government. Deportation of Jews: Main points can be copied from The Holocaust in Norway. --— Erik Jr. 16:09, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
This information is totally irrelevant, no other countries list this sort of thing in their infobox Barryob (Contribs) (Talk) 00:25, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
Well I will not agree with you that the information is irrelevant. WW2 will never be irrelevant. But being said that, those most probably aren't established dates. We can have a debate on this matter to solve the problem here as I haven't seen any information regarding this. SoloKnowHow83 ( talk) 18:38, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

the grammar needs to be corrected for the following two titles: Norwegian women's national team and Norwegian men's national football team . Grammatically, the title of each group is Norway not Norwegian. It is the country that is distinguished, not the nationality and should be reflected : Norway women's national football team or Norway national football team .

The 4th picture under the "Politics and government" section is accompanied by the description "Prime Minister of Norway Erna Solberg (since 2013) and U.S. President Donald Trump in 2018."

Hi, in the section on the Migration era there is a claim that "hov" means "hill". The Wiki article on "Hov" states: "Etymologically, the Old Norse word hof is the same as the Afrikaans, Dutch and German word hof, which originally meant a hall and later came to refer to a court (originally in the meaning of a royal or aristocratic court) and then also to a farm. In medieval Scandinavian sources, it occurs once as a hall, in the Eddic poem Hymiskviða, and beginning in the fourteenth century, in the "court" meaning. /.../". There are toponyms for elevated places with religious connotations, on such being "horg" (also found in names for mountains, e.g. Lønahorgi near Voss) and indeed "haug", which means "hill", but would also have been used to refer to local howes or barrows, i.e. distinguished graves. I would propose to correct the article's etymology, but can't do it myself due to current semi-protection. T 84.208.86.134 ( talk) 10:43, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
Hi, the description of Viking North Sea exploration goes from Iceland directly to Vinland. perhaps one should also mention Greenland? I've been looking at other Greenland related articles to find some short, precise formulation, without finding one.

The source ( La Nación newspaper) is a conservative or right-winged newspaper, and describes it as a unique kind of socialism based on the Norwegian state functions as the user describes above; Socialism doesn't mean is Cuba of course, or that you cannot makes business, it's just that is regulated by state in a high level without corruption. 190.194.214.51 ( talk) 22:43, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
An opinion in a newspaper is not relevant given the large volume of scholarly sources. A key source describes Norway as a kind of market/capitalist economy (Hall, P. A. & David Soskice, eds. 2001. Varieties of capitalism: The institutional foundations of comparative advantage'), other examples
--— Erik Jr. 17:59, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Wikipedia itself lists the Nordic model in their categories of socialism /info/en/?search=Socialism#Nordic_model so those mentioned sources contradicts the sources of the socialism article.
Unless Norway had recently moved out of the Nordic model, this information is wrongly erased. (I'd just readed the spanish newspaper article and there is a mistake on the title translation, the correct one of "El unico socialismo del siglo XXI" is "The only socialism of the XXI century", meaning the only one that works, which shows the point of view of the conservative newspaper about other socialist countries, but does acknowledge the functioning of Nordic model.)
Either this information should be in the article or the Socialism article is wrong; otherwise this erasing edition is not neutral.

There is nothing in Socialism#Nordic_model about socialism. This short section is primarily based on Esping-Andersen, G. (1991). The three worlds of welfare capitalism. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press. Esping-Andersen's book is actually called Welfare Capitalism, not Socialism.... and is classical. — Erik Jr. 17:44, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Is Norway the last socialist state in Europe? When asked, the finance minister, the Labourist Sigbjørn Johnsen, smiles and moves on to another topic. At the end of the interview, the director of communication puts things in place with an icy gesture: "Socialists, yes, but democratic."

It should be written more about Norway's participation in this war on the German side. Also about 532 Jews sent by the norwegian police by the ship "Donau" to the concentration camps in 1942. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.177.2.232 ( talk) 06:47, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
Norway did not participate on the German side. Norway was a neutral country and was invaded by Germany, and tacitly allied with Britain. Norway's legitimate government officially joined the Allies later. The German occupant installed the Quisling government. Deportation of Jews: Main points can be copied from The Holocaust in Norway. --— Erik Jr. 16:09, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

the grammar needs to be corrected for the following two titles: Norwegian women's national team and Norwegian men's national football team .

Hi, in the section on the Migration era there is a claim that "hov" means "hill". The Wiki article on "Hov" states: "Etymologically, the Old Norse word hof is the same as the Afrikaans, Dutch and German word hof, which originally meant a hall and later came to refer to a court (originally in the meaning of a royal or aristocratic court) and then also to a farm. In medieval Scandinavian sources, it occurs once as a hall, in the Eddic poem Hymiskviða, and beginning in the fourteenth century, in the "court" meaning. /.../". There are toponyms for elevated places with religious connotations, on such being "horg" (also found in names for mountains, e.g. Lønahorgi near Voss) and indeed "haug", which means "hill", but would also have been used to refer to local howes or barrows, i.e. distinguished graves. I would propose to correct the article's etymology, but can't do it myself due to current semi-protection. T 84.208.86.134 ( talk) 10:43, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
