You should zoom that out to include the Channel Islands, Jan Mayen and Svalbard, that way it covers the general maximum definition of Northern Europe according to the United Nations. Vesperius ( talk) 20:38, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Then the consensus is wrong. If you look at the talk page, the debate has ended and no one has brought up a good reason as to why it should stay in that section. The “reasons” given have been nothing but thinly veiled partisanship. FactCheckTruth ( talk) 12:48, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Hey Ingwina,
Nice article at Germanic boar helmet; just wanted to leave a comment that some of the sources (Foster 1977a, Speake 1980, Stiegemann, Kroker & Walter 2013b, and Hatto 1957) are not associated with a source. This may just be the result of entering years/letters incorrectly in some of the cases but wanted to let you know. Very nice work! Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 07:15, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello Ingwina, I saw that you also came across this article. I don't even know where to begin on it, seems to be the result of one or more anonymous editors inserting their own original research without pushback since the beginning of this year. On top of that judging by their edit summaries they either have some kind of conflict of interest or they're trolling, not sure which one is worse. Either way they're aggressive and evidently clueless about basic policy such as sourcing, which I've given several notices to them about to no avail. Do you know anything about this family? What's the best approach here? I'm thinking of just wiping the article back to how it was before they came in, when it was at least sourced more properly, but I'm not sure so since you're the only other person I've seen edit it I'd like to ask you about it as you might know more about it than me.

I recall that at some point in the recent past you were looking for discussion of the use of the term "giant" in place of jötun. I've encountered this come up several times. Most recently, discussion about this topic occurs in John Lindow's Old Norse Mythology (2021, Oxford University Press). On page 18, Lindow discusses how the term is "misleading" and how the jötnar are rarely distinguished by their size. Nonetheless, he continues to use the term for the rest of the book. I can provide more direct quotes if you like and I'll keep an eye out for where else I've seen such discussion. I believe there was a very relevant article I encountered sometime within the past few years that I'm now trying to find again. :bloodofox: ( talk) 21:44, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I apologize for confused edits. Regarding the recent revert: as I understand, Midwinter didn't take place during the solstice and the Saga attributed Hákon with moving Yule from Midwinter to solstice/Christmas; is that correct? SMiki55 ( talk) 11:57, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello, recently you removed a fair bit of one of my edits due to an unreliable source https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Numbers_in_Norse_mythology&oldid=1152772189. I was looking into the source and it does seem amateur but looking into the citations and the About Me section it seems sincere. So I am curious what to look out for in the future so I'm not fooled again by an unreliable source. Thank you! Chacabangaso ( talk) 16:05, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi Ingwina. You've recently reversed my 'Modern Culture' reference in the Weyland the Smith entry on two occasions, the first due to no citation, the second questioning the veracity of the citation. Looking at your editing history I can see that you appear to be a source of expertise in these areas that I'll loosely call Northern European mythology, I respect your knowledge and contributions - and undoubted wish to keep exact the pages you monitor. However I do feel that you are being a little harsh on my edit. Neither of the other 2 'Modern Culture' references have citations at all, yet are allowed to stand. I have attempted to place a citation on my addition, but it has been reverted. This feels like multiple standards on the page. As it is, it was very difficult to find a more in-depth citation for the book reference. The author was a medium figure in fantasy literature - referenced in Wikipedia itself, but the genre typically does not get covered by extensive literary study and comment from major sources, peer review etc. I'm well aware of the story, having read it several times in my youth, and then making the connections having visited the 'Wayland Smithy' long Barrow near the Uffington Horse and looking into the history. The story is very clearly the source material for the trilogy, with the specifics I mentioned used as the primary plot in the third book. I think it is a reasonable entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quagswag ( talk • contribs) 08:22, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
