Wrong information about language development
editQuote:
- It was the middling part of Denmark-Norway during the "Viking Age", which is why Bokmal steadily became the national written language after Harald I of Norway.
Bokmål and Danish influence of language was far, far later than Harald Fairhair. I've removed this sentence. -- Egil 17:34, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Bogus information
editFor about 6 months, this article contained a lot of semi-bogus information provided by the banned user Kenneth Alan.--Wiglaf 22:02, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
Spurious info about current use removed
editI have removed the text inserted by Egil in this edit about the use of the term Viken having been revitalized in recent time. I don't believe this is the case (I live in Oslo). Anyway, if someone feels it to be so, this should be cited with a reliable source. __meco 07:39, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Víkin
editActually, the old norse name is Víkin. Viken is the modern bokmål and Swedish form of the area. --Oddeivind (talk) 10:40, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
Viken?
editI feel that the name is unrepresentative of the district, as the Norwegian word vik is a feminine noun, and is in definite form vika. The term Viken was made up by the historian Peter Andreas Munch, and we should change the name of the article.–– ♫ Ellie♫ 07:49, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
