message: Can I suggest that we set up separate articles for the cabinets of various prime ministers? This gives us an opportunity to write about the events and legacies of these cabinets as well. --Leifern 23:28, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

A few minutes ago, this article claimed Jagland was a pedophile. Appearantly, wikipedia vandalism is frontpage-news worthy. Here is a translation of what Odd Erik Stende, Norwegian Labour Partys representative, had to say about it: - We will take any step necessary to remove this. 
Any step except editing the goddamn wikipedia page, it seems, as this was up until a few minutes ago.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.48.55.71 (talk) 16:27, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I still think we need better sourcing for the AUF scandal, especially since it seems to implicate Jagland and Stoltenberg somehow. --Leifern 18:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Scandal? 

message: Are there too many quotes; are all quotes in this article necessary? (I'm not thinking about his infamous quotes, but rather about people's reactions to different things.) What do others think? Punkmorten (talk) 20:12, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, there is too much quoting. However, he has some infamous quotes that will remain in the history books. I removed a 'reflexion quote' today, and perhaps I will remove more. Thanks for the idea. Arsenikk (talk) 21:38, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: I removed the incorrect claim that he is an "economist". An economist is someone who has a higher degree in economics and somehow works as an economist. Jagland studied economics for some time, passing the "1. avdeling" ("first division") exam, but quit his studies when he became too occupied with politics. He has never had a "civilian" (i.e. non-political) profession.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fiskandsoup (talk • contribs) 16:43, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  ICANN Strategy Panel 

message: An issue the article does not make clear and out to be added: When Bondevik's first cabinet fell in 2000, why was Jens Stoltenberg appointed PM instead of Thorbjørn Jagland (who was still the party leader)? Anywikiuser (talk) 21:09, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The short answer is that Jagland did not enjoy the necessary respect, neither in the country as a whole nor within his own party, to become prime minister again (and four years later when Stoltenberg formed his second cabinet, Jagland did not even enjoy the necessary respect to become foreign minister again, which was a widely discussed topic in Norway in 2005). Jagland had been mercilessly attacked by the press since the mid 1990s, which had widely portrayed him as a fool, so this became the general perception of him in Norway. He had also made many unfortunate comments over the years; for example when he was foreign minister in Stoltenberg's cabinet, he went on a talkshow (Skavlan) where he ridiculed the name of Omar Bongo (the President of Gabon who was then on a state visit to Norway) in a racist way as "Bongo from Congo" and told the talkshow host that he had great difficulty in sitting still at the table at the banquet in Bongo's honour ("Bongo fra Kongo" was later used as the title of a book). The article used to discuss how Jagland's tenures as prime minister, foreign minister and Labour Party leader are generally seen in Norway, but the whole article had been "whitewashed" somehow. I agree that this material needs to be included in the article to properly explain how Jagland is seen in Norway in an historical context, and why his career moved in the direction that it did, from prime minister in the 1990s to merely foreign minister in 2001, to not being acceptable as a cabinet member at all in 2005. --Aleasjon (talk) 18:11, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

text: There probably should be much more in this article about Jagland's rivalry with Stoltenberg from late 80's till at least when Jagland quit as party leader in 2002. Listening to political journalists their leadership fights was some of the nastiest we've seen here. Also, both Jagland and Reiulf Steen had previously been Labour party leaders while not simultaneously being prime minister, so it wasn't a new thing. --torstein (talk) 09:34, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

message: I find this page to be somewhat misleading and lacking in not only detail but information in general. The author of the page seems to be part of the bully group of the 1990’s and the page is quite one sided. More information should either be added or the page should be marked as incomplete and possibly partial. 84.208.186.147 (talk) 10:10, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
