Talk:Jan Mayen

message: There is an Icelandic band called Jan Mayen (listed on Wikipedia for their song Nick Cave). This should be mentioned in the article, with a link to a Wikipedia page about the band once that gets up. See their site for more info: http://myspace.com/janmayen
:Yes, why not? If you want to add it you can make a Jan Mayen in popluar culture heading towards the end to put it under. --- Nidator 18:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The Norwegian Defence Forces are considering test-firing missiles over Jan Mayen (presumably the Naval Strike Missile) and this could bring them into conflict with the Directorate for Nature Management (). This could be relevant for the article. -- Nidator 18:13, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

message: This article uses a mix of Am-E and Br-E. We should only use one variant; which? 82.20.28.142 (talk) 12:29, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume that British would be best since the place is in Europe, and belongs to Norway where BrE is taught in schools. -- 194.17.253.121 (talk) 12:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

message: This article states Nordland as a Mid-Norwegian county while it is refered to as a Northern-Norwegian county. I cannot say I have ever heard it being refered to as Mid-Norwegian.--EgMeg (talk) 18:38, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You are of course correct. Nordland is a county in North Norway. The counties of Central Norway are Nord-Trøndelag, Sør-Trøndelag and Møre og Romsdal. I will make the required changes. -- Nidator T / C 20:11, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

message: As I was looking for information on John Clarke and his exploits at Jan Mayen from 1614 to 1617 I came to Muller's 1874 work, and noticed that he had cited William Scoresby for the claim that Hull whalers had discovered Jan Mayen in 1611 or 1612. I remembered that he was often the source cited by others for this information, so I looked at Scoresby (1820) and realized that Muller had added in parenthesis "(i.e. 1611 of 1612)" after quoting Scoresby's "about the same time" quote. He mistakenly believed Scoresby's vague statement was referring to the year the Dutch were wrongly thought to have discovered the island (1611) or the supposed year of their first involvement in the trade (1612; really 1613). Thinking they both must be referring to Edge's 1622 work, I re-read it and found no reference to the discovery of the island by Hull whalers at such an early date. It appears Scoresby's vague statement, and Muller's added assumption, has resulted in a multitude of authors to repeat this claim; just as was the case for the supposed discovery of Jan Mayen by Hudson in 1607.  
Scoresby also believed that this early discovery by the Hull whalers was the reason for King James granting them whaling rights there in 1618. I knew this wasn't true, as the first Hull whaling expedition hadn't reached the island until 1616, the real reason for the granting of the 1618 charter.

message: I think Hacquebord may have made a mistake. It appears as though John Clarke (or Jan de Clerke, as the Dutch called him) may have only equipped the expedition, but not have actually sailed on it. A French source (Hamy, 1896; p. 320) says a certain Phoppe Geertzen commanded the expedition that year. Phoppe Geertzen, or Fopp Gerritsz, a Dutchman, had sailed to Spitsbergen the previous year for a company in Dunkirk (perhaps the same one?). I can't quite confirm it, but it looks as though Fopp Gerritsz. is the real discoverer of Jan Mayen, not John Clarke. Jonas Poole (talk) 20:13, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
