message: Is it ever mentioned that Block was on one of the Crusades to the Holy Land?  Being Swedish, could he not have been on one of the later, Baltic crusades? Mon Vier 13:53, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, Swedish Wikipedia also mentions the Holy Land. The route of Block's crusade was most probably NOT meant to have been in Estonia or Latvia.E.J. 14:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

text: The bulk of the main Crusades meaning the efforts organized by the Papacy to recapture Jerusalem was largely over. The final major Crusade was in 1271–1272. There was a Swedish-only one in 1293. There were subsequent crusades initiated by various local governments against Russia, Alexandria, and Aragon that aren't really part of the main cycle. The Black Plague peaked in 1350, over 50 years after the Crusades in the main sense had concluded. Essentially, the claim about the crusades being over before the Black Death is correct.--WickerGuy (talk) 22:00, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I think it is not desirable to reduce the length of the GOOD (or fine) articles. Wikipedia has changed the way it is conceived the encyclopedias in general. You can now find useful information in the encyclopedia, not only the illiterate one but also the expert.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.247.80.9 (talk • contribs) 15:42, 28 September 2010

message: Can anyone explain what the "Chess in the film" section contributes to the article? If merely describes the chess play and mostly consists of quoting lines from the film said during the chess game. The section does not add any analysis and so does not obviously contribute anything to the article. I think it should be deleted, but will wait for any comments from others to explain why it should stay. 99.192.64.215 (talk) 17:14, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm a member of the chess project.  The IP user that restored it and made the comment does not seem to be a regular contributor to chess articles.  I don't agree with his statement.  I support at least shortening it to what is significant as far as the film goes.  It doesn't really improve chess coverage in Wikipedia.  I even doubt if this article needs to be in the chess project - at least it should be bottom importance.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 17:56, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

text: As far as film coverage goes, it seems to fall under WP:INUNIVERSE, and apart from a brief plot summary such sections are discouraged. I would have no problem with it being deleted. Betty Logan (talk) 18:16, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur with Betty. I took a look in Google Books but could not find any solid results discussing the chess game (unlike how there are results for 2001: A Space Odyssey). I'm fine with its removal. Erik (talk | contribs) 20:37, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the input, everyone. There seems to be enough agreement that it should be removed that I will go ahead and do it. Someone might come by later to offer a reason to keep it, but if so it will be easy enough to restore. 99.192.64.215 (talk) 22:50, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Chess is central to the film (and the film is, I think, one of the most notable examples of chess in popular culture) but I agree that a specific "Chess in the film" section is probably going too far; much better to describe it and its wider symbolic meaning elsewhere in the article. --xensyriaT 09:06, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Is it worth including a comment that the singer/songwriter Scott Walker included a track "The Seventh Seal" on his 1969 album "Scott 4"?   This record was originally released under the artist's real name Noel Scott Engel, but it is re-issued on CD using the artist's stage name.
Engel's/Walker's song is an accurate summary of the film's plot, which is why I think it deserves a mention - I happen to think it is an excellent song and a wonderful performance.   The original LP fold-out sleeve included the classic photo of the chess game with Death.

message: According to Swedish Wikipedia, The Seventh Seal is set in Sweden, unlike the English article which says it is set in Denmark. Which is right? —ajf (talk) 09:56, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: As a Swede and a friend of Ingmar Bergman I can assure you that the film was entirely shot in Sweden by a Swedish director and team – in Stockholm studio area (Filmstaden) and in the Southern landscape of Sweden, Skåne/Scania. Until the 17th-18th centuries some parts of present Sweden, including Skåne, belonged to Denmark and the Northern Danish Empire (including Norway, Iceland, Greenland, Faroe islands and more). Thus, it's correct that many of the exteriors were shot in the landscape, that would in the Medieval ages have belonged to Denmark. But there's no mentioning of any places/countries in the film, except for the old Danish cities Elsinore and Roskilde. In those days, as in present time, Skåne's located very close to present Denmark, just separated by Öresund sound, so people go back and forth between them. – Thus, it's a Swedish film, entirely made in Sweden with Swedish actors, who speak Swedish language. Ingmar Bergman partly shot most of his 1950's films in Skåne, as he was a stage director at Skåne's Malmö stadsteater (and in the 1940's at Helsingborgs stadsteater) during those years.--Bemland (talk) 16:11, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
