![]() | On 3 November 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Olav V of Norway to Olav V. The result of the discussion was moved. |
Should we add something about the new evidence that Olav was likely to have been fathered through artificial insemination, with the semen of the doctor's son? This is more than just a rumour, for sure. Kvaks 08:48, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Will the Olav V of Norway site, post the photos (if you can get them) ,of the Doctor or Doctor's son , put the photo next to King Olav V photo ,so us Wiki readers could see the claimed physical resemblances? And thus make are own conclusions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.176.56.139 ( talk) 23:08, October 23, 2005 (UTC)
Anyone who wants to claim that Olav wasn't his father's son needs to look at photos of Carl/Haakon as a boy/young man before he got married. His son as a young man was the spitting image of him. 76.202.192.102 ( talk) 22:59, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
Removal of the so called slander should be discussed here first. That is a controversial edit and the case has references and sources. -- Atluxity ( talk) 22:52, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
The question is not whether this fringe theory should be censored from Wikipedia, but whether trying to give it a balanced discussion merits so so much space in Olav V. A better solution would be to create a separate article either for Bomann-Larsen or for his book, and hash out the argument there. Then the Olav V article could contain a single wikilinked sentence on the lines of "A recent book by Bomann-Larsen has suggested that Olav V was conceived by artificial insemination using sperm from an English donor; others dispute the evidence for this claim." betsythedevine ( talk) 18:49, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
I fail to see the relevance of Empress Josephine de Beauharnais in this article. She had nothing whatsoever to do with Norwegian succession nor any other items relevant to Olav and Märtha.
They have thousands of common ancestors, and undoubtedly all such should be mentioned, if Josephine is mentioned.
Therefore, I ask further reasons why just Josephine is highlighted here.
(Besides, if Olav was not biologically son of Haakon, then he is NOT a descendant of Josephine de Beauharnais, since Haakon's mother was his only link to Josephine. His wife undoubtedly is.) 62.78.121.189 11:15, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
Maybe I'm being picky but, I think a photo of King Olav V would be more appropiate for this article. There's something cold about the statue, it shouldn't be the top (only) photo of the article. Just my opinion User:GoodDay 21:29, 18 November 2005 (UTC).
Could someone post a picture of Olav when he is on the tram? I think it is a very good picture that really shows what kind of man he was. http://www.nrk.no/underholdning/store_norske/4544536.html This is a link to the picture and an interview with the girl who sat next to him on the tram, but I dont know how to add it to the article nor do I know the copyright laws, so instead of pissing anyone off I'm asking if any of you can. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.249.188.3 ( talk) 21:18, March 7, 2006 (UTC)
Isn't there a norwegian stamp with Olav skijumping in Holmenkollen? A picture of that stamp would be great in this article. I've searched the net, but cannot find it anywhere. (Unsigned comment added by Karamell 19:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC))
This medal is mentioned, but there seems to be no other record of it anywhere. Is the name correct? How come Olav is the only person on the planet who received it...?
Evert ( talk) 18:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I`m pretty sure that I`ve read King Olav said this, but some Googling produced an article from NRK (norwegian) : http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/innenriks/4792640.html Maybe that part should be rewritten? I think it is an important part of the article, to show that King Olav really was held high in regard in Norway. Trondos 20:44, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't Wikipedia remain consistent, and keep its Olaf > Olav policy when it comes to Norwegian royalty in English?

Hi,
aren't there enough synonyms in English to formulate this better? "Escape" offers itself, a little less inglorious than "fleeing", isn't it? "Went into/ joined the monarch in exile"? (The NO GOvernment styled itself "eksilregjeringen", IIRC). If English had been German, I'd have written something like " ... sich dem Zugriff der deutschen Besatzungsmacht (or something) entzogen ...", i.e. "avoided" (?) capture by the (xxx) by going ..." (?). Since not a native speaker, I don't know how to put this right. Perhaps someone could assist. TiA, if so.
