Talk:Peter Tordenskjold

message: During my recent overhaul of the article, I have excluded some snippets of information that I could not find any sources for/were unsupported by the sources I employed:
*He commandeered the 6-gun vessel Lindorm.
*De Olbing Galley had room for 36 guns.
*Wessel's crew suffered seven killed and 21 wounded against De Olbing Galley.
*The 1993 musical played at the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen.
Please provide a source, when/if reinstating these details. Poulsen (talk) 09:44, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deleted info 

message: Reading that Tordenskiold is mentioned in both the Danish and Norwegian anthem, I read the lyrics of the Danish anthem Der er et yndigt land and (both the modern, shorter, and original lyrics) and, as suspected, I found no trace of him there. I have therefor rewritten the sentence 'In Denmark as well as in Norway he is probably considered the most famous naval hero, and he is featured in the national anthems of both countries.' to 'In Denmark as well as in Norway he is probably considered the most famous naval hero.' If anyone finds that he is in fact mentioned in the Norwegian anthem, fell free to add it.

replies: text: You are right about him not being mentioned in the Danish national anthem, Der er et yndigt land, but he is mentioned in the third stanza of the royal anthem, Kong Christian stod ved højen mast.  Whether it's worth mentioning is another matter. Favonian (talk) 23:19, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tordenskiold is not mentioned in the danish national anthem 

message: Tordenskjold is a common name referring to this person. However, people have always used Tordenskjold alone, and not his complete name, as a common name. Peter Tordenskjold or Peter Wessel Tordenskjold are thus not common names. The Wikipedia common name rule does not apply to the complete name.
Examples of common names are Bokken Lasson instead of Caroline Lasson, Wenche Foss instead of Eva Wenche Steenfeldt-Foss Stang, and Vinni instead of Øyvind Sauvik. Peter Tordenskiold's common name is Tordenskiold/Tordenskjold, regardless of the name's spelling. One is misusing the common name rule to discredit one of the two standard spellings of Peter Tordenskiold's common name. (A spelling that is not standard for Peter Tordenskiold is Tordenschiold.)
Conclusions:
(1) The article's name should be Peter Wessel Tordenskiold.
(2) The article's present introduction should be modified to this:
: Peter Wessel Tordenskiold [...], popularly known as Tordenskjold [...], was [...]
I also desire sources confirming that Tordenskjold is much more used than Tordenskiold. It seems like the loud-voiced claims of every randomly arriving IP address are accepted as truth. — Breadbasket 08:43, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

message: 1690 or 1691? Some of the cited sources (Gyldendals, Søfartshistorie) say the former, some (DBL, EB 1911) say the latter. Please reconcile the difference. Thank you. —howcheng  {chat} 21:33, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

message: From A normal tourist map, "but everything is negative":
:"Our national hero Tordenskiold operated as a slave-trader during the colonial era. Norway actively downplays this part of our history and has not provided any apologies or paid any reparations."
Danish slave trade does  not mention Tordenskjold.
Was he involved?
