# Talk:Svalbard

The article says "They [the Germans] were chased away in October by a visit from what the Germans mistook to be four British warships".  Who visited, if not British warships? Mcswell (talk) 01:53, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

When I zoom in on the multicolour vector map in the article it looks as Longyearbyen is situated on the north shore of Advent Bay. I thought it is situated on the south shore - is the map in the article correct? ChristinaCC (talk) 18:54, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

"Demonym(s) Norwegian" cannot possibly be right Norwegian is the demonym only of'Norway'

Was looking at the source for the population (needed the data for my thesis) and it seems the population listed here is only the population of the Norwegian settlements, and using the most recent data from the same source the actual value should be around 2,881 when you add in the Russian settlements. Is there a reason these settlements were excluded? Evallen37 (talk) 12:15, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
