message: ::I believe the climatological nuances are now moot.  I've copied the Lofoten weatherbox from the Norsk page to the English page.  I believe this talk section can be removed.

message: This section had the statement "Two of the top ten deadliest rainstorms ever recorded passed through Lofoten."  This was linked to a since-removed table on another Wp page.
I saw no remark about these storms—much less a reference for them—even on the Norwegian-language Lofoten page.
If any passing Norwegian climatophile or Norskophile climatologist can substantiate these historic events, they may restore the statement about them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tuna Fish 5 (talk • contribs) 14:34, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Climate -- Deadliest Rainstorms 

message: The remarkable thing about Lofoten is that not only 'Lo' can be related to light via Old Norse 'lóa'. But also Foten can be related to light. The Greek word for light is φώτα (fóta). And that might be less farfetched as you might believe since Lofoten is one of the candidates for Thule, that was visited by the Greek Pytheas. referencing to light is also not farfetched as it may relate to Auroris Boreales, but also to the polardays and -nights. Anyway, remarkable enough to put this in here.Lz89z1 (talk) 12:45, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Etymology 

message: "Most parsimonious is the analogy with Aurora Borealis, as the word fótr is typically not used to describe the feet of beasts of prey, instead using the word hrammr (paw) or löpp (also paw) for animals such as cats or dogs."
Lynx are typically considered predators, not prey, which brings this entire statement into question 105.233.92.71 (talk) 12:45, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
