Talk:Gorm the Old

message: So: did he reign c. 900 - c. 940, or 934-58? Both are quoted multiple times in the article, but they can't both be right!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.10.100.97 (talk) 21:21, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

message: This article makes a lot of unsourced claims, some of them expressing opinions about King Gorm's rule and character.
It would be a big help to readers and other editors to source as many of these claims as possible--we shouldn't make claims about Gorm's personality directly, but should instead credit them to reasonably authoritative sources. Emk 13:33, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Then you should add {unsourced} template rather than {cleanup}, which is somewhat misleading. --Ghirla -трёп- 17:55, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The lead fails to actually state why the subject is notable. Just states his nicknames, how nicknames were common, how long he lived etc.. Please fix. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 06:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

message: It has been written that Gorm was the same name as Guthrum. I wonder if one has ever made a connection between the fall of the danish kingdom of East-Anglia in 916/917 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_of_East_Anglia) and the arrival of Gorm and his family in Denmark at the very same period. Gorm may have been a nephew or a grandson of Guthrum II the last danish king of East-Anglia. But all these ideas are just *ideas* and that's why they are submitted here in the discussion area... for discussion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.68.236.71 (talk) 22:45, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

message: How is he the first confirmed king of Denmark if Sigtrygg Gnupasson existent is proven by the Sigtrygg Runestones?--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 06:10, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Both the runestones and Adam of Bremen indicate that Denmark had multiple kings before Gorm's time. While Harald Bluetooth is recognized as the first king to rule over a region comparable to modern Denmark, Gorm is the first confirmed Danish king with no known contemporaries. 130.225.235.65 (talk) 20:05, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
