Talk:Hålogaland

message: Unless some other redaction of the Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar exists that presents another folk etymology, the final statement in the first paragraph is incorrect. The first few sentences, which contain the folk etymology, read as follows per Guðni Jónssons edition. "Þat er upphaf þessarar sögu, at Logi hefir konungr heitit. Hann réð fyrir því landi, er norðr er af Noregi. Logi var stærri ok sterkari en nokkurr annarr í því landi. Var lengt nafn hans, ok var kallaðr Hálogi. Af honum tók landit nafn ok var kallat Hálogaland." (cf. Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar at heimskringla.no) This translates as follows: "That is the beginning of this saga, that a king was called Logi. He ruled that land, which is north of Norway. Logi was taller and stronger than any other in that land. His name was lengthened (=an addition to his name was made) and he was called Hálogi (=High-Logi). From him the land took its name and was called Hálogaland." I do not know where the supposed connection to Hel is coming from in the article. I would also critise the wording of that final sentence, since it does not reflect the nature of this attempt at an explanation as a folk etymology. Bajuwarijaz (talk) 14:01, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

message: I decided to remove the part that included unsubstantiated rumors about the beef continuing in other forms. I did not see the merit in leaving them in this entry. Jay-Z and Nas were seen at the 2012 release party for "Life is Good." Until proven otherwise, I do not think we should inform readers that the beef is somehow continuing behind close doors 150.209.45.50 (talk) 02:25, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

message: My apologies if I'm misinterpreting the following sentence, but:
"Though both rappers referenced the feud on their follow-up albums, the aforementioned two tracks remain the most known and best-received disses along with Ice Cube's "No Vaseline" and 2Pac's "Hit Em Up".
Saying that these are the four best-known dis tracks is basically a slap in the face to anyone with a more-than-casual knowledge of hip-hop history.
(Sorry for the anonymous post. I'm just too lazy to register for Wikipedia proper. To avoid stepping on toes, I haven't made any edits either.)

replies: text: This had nothing to do with promoting or advertising anything.

: He also created the "army of whiny liberal pundits" in the 2000-12-25 strip.  It's obviously mocking the pundits, but from that strip he appears to be on the left because he created them.
: There may be counter-examples, but I have not come across one yet. --Kevin L'Huillier 00:20, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Dr Philbert

message: I don't find this strip very "liberal".  Granted, it is currently very critical of Republicans, but that's because they control all branches of the US Government.  When Clinton was president, he was quite critical of the Democrats.
The archives are here:  and the mocking starts pretty quickly in 1993.  Immediately he criticized Clinton's passing of several Republican-sponsored bills, apparently lack of any conviction, "waffling" (he drew Bill as "Waffle Man"), allowing lobbyists to dismantle a proposed health care bill, NAFTA, and probably several others i skimmed past.  Later he criticizes Clinton for the V-Chip instead of more important social issues. Another strip points out that we should not be praising Clinton for the botched job in Kosovo, and then mocks him for his "resolve conflicts with words, not violence" response to the Littleton Massacre while bombs were still falling in Kosovo.
Obviously Gore was not criticized as much since he lost the 2000 election, but during the campaigning Gore was made fun of quite a bit as well.
After the election he wrote a strip with a mad scientist who created "an army of whiny liberal pundits" who complain that Nader caused Gore to lose and chant "I hope you're happy now".  The straight man tries to point out that it's lunacy to think there were no other factors.
I think it's fairly clear from these examples and others that Tom Tomorrow is quite happy to make fun of any public figure who deserves it, regardless of party. --Kevin L'Huillier 00:20, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

This line appears to have been added in December 2022 by a Wikipedia editor, in good faith, apparently on the basis of their private research. While the poem and the carol plainly rely on the same legend for their material, I am not so sure it follows that Neale directly translated the poem.
