The Eggjum Stone is certainly important for all sorts of reasons, historical and linguistic, but does it really belong on a list of "Important examples of Norse poetry" next to Hávamál and Völuspá? Io 17:29, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
There is an article (and a very good one, IMO) under development, Alliterative verse, which overlaps Old Norse poetry to a considerable degree. Any thoughts about how we might avoid reduplication of effort? Cheers Io 16:13, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I removed the reference to the Eggjum Stone after careful consideration. I really do not believe it counts as an example of important Norse poetry. It is important as an example of runic writing and as evidence of language development, but not as poetry. If it is an emotional matter for anyone, just undo my change. I won't make an issue out of it — at least not without discussion. Cheers Io 16:20, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Both Eddic an Eddaic are synonymously proper English language words; however, the two sources used (so far) prefer "Eddic" rather than "Eddaic". I am thinking of making Eddic the main term, and mentioning Eddaic as an alternative. Dcattell ( talk) 01:15, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
I've been working on the Alliterative Verse entry, and felt that for that article to work, a lot of the details on Old Norse poetry more logically belonged here. So I've moved them here and merged them in, which I think gives a much more satisfying and complete discussion of Old Norse verse forms. However, a lot of the material is not well cited. More work needs to be done to get this article up to spec. PDDeane ( talk) 00:58, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
