Talk:Stenkil

message: I reverted Berig's edit of the section I added. Everything is relative but I do not consider the sources to be rare in this particular case. Ragnvald Ulfsson's family relations are mentioned in at least three icelandic sagas (not counting Hervarar saga). None mention him as the father to Stenkil. This is odd because you would have expected them to mention that while talking about Ragnvalds family if it was true that his son became king. Furthermore, Hervarar saga does not mention that Stenkil's father was a jarl which Ragnvald Ulfsson was, only that Stenkil was high-born. Titles as king and jarl is not something the icelandic sagas forget to mention. The claim that Ragnvald the Old and Ragnvald Ulfsson is the same person is very weak and it should be pointed out. Scholars know that the claim is very weak and do not forget to point out that it is basically just a guess (a hypothesis). However, as far as I know has no scholar bothered to dispute the claim, so it is often carelessly treated as a fact in less academic litterature. But Wikpedia should not make the same mistake by toning down the content of the text I added.
:Alright, I can see your point. However, would you care to give me the names of the additional three sagas that talk of Ragvald Ulfsson? I would like to expand his article in the future.--Berig 17:26, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Made-up name 

message: The recent move was done by an editor with limited knowledge of English and little or no knowledge of older English historical writing (as shown by a number of edits lately which I see as destructive). There are reliable sources in English literature which refer to this man as Alstan. Alstan is also a well known English exonym for Swedish Halsten or Hallsten. The Swedish patronymic Stenkilsson does not conform to the way other Swedish kings are listed. I will request a move back to the English version of his name as soon as I have time to research and find those reliable sources. SergeWoodzing (talk) 09:04, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

File talk:Climate Change Attribution.png

message: I found the first sentence pretty awkward: "the ability with which a global climate model (the DOE PCM [1]) is able..."
This sentence has "an ability ... is able", and "the ability with which" doesn't scan well. I haven't thought quite how to rephrase this yet. Maybe "the ability of the model ... to" or "the extent to which the model ... is able" Birdbrainscan 21:06, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: grammar quibble

message: Why is the temperature graph shown on a different y-axis origin to the other data? I accept that they are in different units, but they are still relative measures (to 1900 as I can understand from the graph). Therefore, lining up the origins seems logical and would allow easier observation of correlation between any of the factors.--Yeti Hunter 03:55, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: IV?

message: The article reads more like an obituary (coupled with a book advertisement at the end...) than an encyclopedic article overall. This might be because there's no defining body of work or event that makes him notable enough for WP. Beside being the son of someone famous, he doesn't seem to have achieve much notability on his own... I doubt he'd warrant an article if he wasn't named Steinbeck, and I don't think a famous relation is enough to be considered notable anyway, is it? 
A passing mention in John Steinbeck's article with his more salient "biographical features" may well be enough; especially considering that this article is light in RS. DommageCritique (talk) 21:35, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Totally agree with you guys on this one.
