Talk:Skjöldr

What is up with the swedish or german ö? If he is a danish king either write his name in the form of the sources mentioning him (mostly latin), or danishfy the name (Skjold) instead of using a swedishfication of the latin name.

I believe the material about Nordic legends in general uses a naming format which is either Ancient Norse or Icelandic. I can't tell the two from each other, but you might wish to ask User:Berig who must be our leading expert on the Ancient Norse. Valentinian ^{T / C} 21:39, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Ah **** . It looks like somebody has driven him off Wikipedia as well. When will this end? Valentinian ^{T / C} 21:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually Haukur is our leading expert on Old Norse. But I hope Berig'll soon be back. Sigo 09:24, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Skjöldr is the standardized Old Norse spelling, as used in normalized editions of the Old Norse sources. One also sees o-ogonek used and that is perhaps "more standard" but we've used 'ö' on Wikipedia because it is more expedient. Haukur 00:23, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

See [1] for example. Haukur 00:24, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your reply. And I'm glad to see that you're still around. Valentinian ^{T / C} 21:32, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Same to you :) Haukur 21:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Skjold kaares til konge.jpg

Image:Skjold kaares til konge.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Is there a reason this page isn't the same as the page for Scyld?

This article looks like it refers to the same person under perhaps an Old English name. Shouldn't they just be merged? Hacksaw45501 (talk) 05:24, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
