Talk:Christian X of Denmark

message: There are apparently some mistakes in my summary of the Easter Crisis of 1920, particularly relating to the disposition of Zahle's government at the end of the crisis.   I'm trying to find a source that clearly explains the process at this time.  User:Tomlillis 14th October
: If you read Danish, the best book is probably Tage Kaarsted's "Påskekrisen 1920". --Valentinian 16:49, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I see that they call him Kristján X on the list of Icelandic rulers. I guess this means that the Danish numbering was used in Iceland too, but that the name was written in Icelandic. I'm asking because I think it would make sense to make an article on the Kingdom of Iceland. -- Nidator 16:45, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct, it is the Danish numbering with his name written in Icelandic. During his reign, Iceland got its own separate coinage minted at the Royal Mint in Copenhagen, and these coins use Christian's CX cypher, see e.g. http://www.gladsaxegymnasium.dk/2/artikler/isl60nna.htm, so I believe this notation must have been official. The Icelandic Wikipedia's article is also :is:Kristján 10.. Valentinian T / C 17:52, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: All the previous Christians had ruled Iceland, so that's why the numbering is the same. He was the 10th Christian to be king of Iceland, Iceland had just previously been considered a dependency of first Norway and then Denmark rather than a kingdom in its own right, but that doesn't change the fact that the previous Danish kings since 1380 were Iceland's monarch.--Batmacumba (talk) 14:53, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

text: I think it is safe to say that both myself and Valentinian agree with you on that. -- Nidator 15:14, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

text: The republic was declared following the expiration of a 25 year period agreed on in the Danish-Icelandic union treaty of 1918, so it was done by a procedure accepted by the Danish government and as such the monarch had no basis for claiming Iceland.--Batmacumba (talk) 14:53, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

message: The Terezin article mentions that he secured the release of inmates from Terezin concentration camp, yet this article makes no reference to it. Surely it should, that's a very notable thing? LouiseCooke  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.195.71.44 (talk) 13:58, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I added a link to this Pdf. "The King and the Star:  Myths created during the Occupation of Denmark" by Vilhjálmur Örn Vilhjálmsson. It doesn't say however that the King did not know about the story. When it was circulated by the Danish ambassador to the US in 1943 it seems to me that the King must have known about it, and actively participated in the public relations strategy. I still don't think propaganda is the correct word for this. Very interesting though.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 13:44, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

text: I deleted the paragraph since it was poorly written, repeated material already included in the section above and used an editoriaklizing writing style not suitable for an encyclopedia. It also went straight from the myth of the Jewish star to Theresienstadt with no mention of the Rescue of the Danish Jews - it also made an unsupported statement that the King didn't speak out against the deportation. I am not on a mission to suggest that the Danes are or ever were morally perfect, but the balance between praise and blame needs to follow what is written in the literature. We are not here to rewrite the history of WW2 in Denmark, but to present what others have written.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 16:17, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

text: It is not editorializing to mention that some authors have considered the myth a metaphor for the warm relation - this is a fact. Editorializing is to tell the reader how they are supposed to read and understand the text of the article. Per Stig Møller is in fact a historian, he has a Dr.phil degree in literary history (specializing in the WW2 period), as well as a politician. User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 12:04, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Furthermore you seem not to be realizing that a wikipedia article is supposed to give a balanced view of the literature on a topic - not a selective one focusing for example on the latest revisionist scholarship. The article now very clearly states that it is generally agreed upon that the story is a myth and has no basis in reality, but that the king also was not an anti-semite. This seems to me a very fair and balanced summary of the literature. If you believe it is not correctly reflecting the literature then you need to bring more sources showing that. We do not rewrite the article based on one source that takes a negative view of the king and his relation to the jews while all the others do the opposite.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 12:09, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

text: I don't see how the article currently gives the idea that the king did anything to save the Jews. It doesn't say anything at all about him having a role in saving the Jews. I states that the myth is a myth and quotes another anecdote presented by Møller, which also clearly does not say he had any role in saving anyone at all, but only suggests that he was not anti-Semitic. I really dont see the problem you are seeing.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 11:05, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

text: I don't have a personal opinion about Danish royalty or Denmark during WWII. I was very intrigued by the Icelandic scholar's study and I learned some very interesting things from this exchange. If you don't have further suggestions for improvements I will call it a day.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 14:56, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
