Talk:Björn Ironside

message: Is it because of a current TV series that we are having a bit of a back-and-forth battle about who his mother was? As a matter of fact, we do not know that. We hardly know anything at all about any of these people, so let's not get carried away by a TV series and start editing as if we do. Please! --SergeWoodzing (talk) 08:26, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

message: This huge addition seems to lack sources, and some of the stuff added to the Saga of Ragnars Sons looks like they are no longer considered sagas. Poorly sourced. Needs a lot of removal. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 11:20, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

message: I was asked about this on my talk page and have referred the user here. I recommend that we do not have ancestry charts for fictional and semi-fitional characters. If we ever do, it must be clarified that the chart is a matter of legend, not of fact. Very clearly. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 08:28, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

message: I would say name should be changed to “Bjorn” since ö not is in English alphabet. Björn is a modern day Swedish spelling with The German ö.  --Betabobby (talk) 16:09, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree in principle, but the English exonym is actually Beorn, not Bjorn. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 17:06, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

message: I posted this elsewhere but i will now post it here. SergeWoodzing has removed succession from all the prehistoric kings just with no real reasoning. He takes the highhorse position and says he has the authority to to do so and doesn't elaborate as to why, just that it "is silly". 
By that logic literally all the other legendary kings of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark would have to be edited as well as ALL legendary kings of Europe, good luck getting that done. Eysteinn Beli and so forth all have this form of succession. It's just to provide a easier understanding of the supposed timeline. Henceforth why it says "legendary title". Not normal kingship. This is incredibly petty and silly. There was kings in Scandinavia long before it there were united countries, it almost feels like you're trying to erase that fact.
SergeWoodzing's fixation on trying to remove the concept of succession from the protohistoric discussion just isn't right. I have stated that there is a difference between normal kingship and legendary such. The ones that are featured on the pages where we have collided are not as part of the normal Swedish monarch tradition of succession as it's clearly shown to be part of the "legendary" prehistoric discussion hence why it's called "legendary title" when it comes to succession. By your logic you would literally have to go to every single legendary monarch page in Europe and remove all forms of succession from the legendary discussion.
You cannot shape the narrative of history just because you don't like it, that has nothing to do with warring. Stating that it would be warring is just trying to prevent other people from getting their opinions as to yours into the discussion. There was always a form of succession to these pages before you came along and no offense I'm not sure what your motive is as you aren't exactly elaborating. I won't undo what you've done further since i know you'll just throw a fit and i don't hate time for that, life is too short and Wikipedia is Wikipedia. Next time try to raise the discussion to a bit higher level instead of just getting mad and crying about me "warring" when you don't get as you want. It's childish and immature. --Gaudi9223 (talk) 14:45, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: In favor of "succession"

message: Björn is regarded a Swedish viking ruler and even has the Swedish "Ö" and doesn't use the danish "Ø". All the credible sagas and runes refer to him in this way. Since we do not have a birth certificate there is no use to try and name him "Danish" or "Swedish" when it comes to birth, refer to him and all other vikings from this time unless sources say otherwise as "Norse". Björn is a "Norse" viking chief and legendary king of Sweden and according to the sagas the founder of the Swedish dynasty of Munsö where he is most likely buried.

thread_title:  Removing troll edits of birthplace 

message: in  you added references to Magnusson (2008) and Harrison (1993), but not the corresponding bibliographic information, so that the references are broken.  Could you either add bibliographic information for these two references into the article, or put it here so that I can add it?  Thanks!  Wham2001 (talk) 19:16, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Since there has been no reply I have removed the references from the article. Wham2001 (talk) 21:10, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

message: The runestone picture is labelled "This runestone, crowns the barrow of Björn Ironside in Uppland, Sweden. The stone is a fragment; broken pieces of the stone bear false witnesses next to it." I have to think "bear false witness" is a bad translation for "lie", as it really doesn't make sense as is. 2601:140:C000:2700:A11C:9F73:96E8:4C56 (talk) 02:17, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The change from "lie" to "bear false witness" was a piece of vandalism that had been missed.  I've changed it back.  Thanks for the spot, and feel free to fix this sort of problem directly yourself in the future.  Best, Wham2001 (talk) 16:45, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
