Talk:Anders Behring Breivik/Archive 8

Innuendo about Breivik and hidden GPS coordinates
I don't see much diffence between the recent version and the following fictitious version:

"Norwegian computer security analysts were in 2011 in the process of researching what appear to be hidden pedo-phile activity codes in Breivik's manifesto, including references to the GPS coordinates of several major sites throughout Europe".

Recent version: "Norwegian computer security analysts were in 2011 in the process of researching what appear to be hidden codes in Breivik's manifesto, including references to the GPS coordinates of several major sites throughout Europe."

Both versions come across as a smear campaign~against Breivik. The paragraph from the "10:51, 28 March 2016‎"-version has been moved to discussion, until there is a rationale available for why he should be smeared on this point, nearly five years later. 89.8.239.64 (talk) 11:20, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Are there any references about hidden codes or GPS coordinates being an issue at the 2012 trial? 89.8.239.64 (talk) 11:26, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * When does the valid period for smearing Breivik run out? Is upi.com a WP:RS or not - you seem to be suggesting that it mounted a "smear campaign" against Breivik? But I'm not sure what exactly were these "major sites across Europe" that may or may not have been described by hidden GPS co-ordinates? Possible bomb sites or what? The article doesn't say. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:28, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * That's sort of how innuendo works: You are told one thing, and when you connect the dots, you question whether Breivik has pointed out potential "Possible bomb sites or what?" - in other European countries. So why should the innuendo above be perpetuated on wikipedia? 89.8.239.64 (talk) 12:17, 28 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Are there any references indicating that the frequent anal inspections (as detailed in the 2016 trial) by the Correctional Services, have something to do with the search for GPS coordinates or triggering devices related to "major sites across Europe"? 89.8.239.64 (talk) 12:21, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, any connection there seems a little strained, to the say the least. Maybe, when the trial verdict has been fully digested, they'll bring out the nutcracker? Martinevans123 (talk) 12:52, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Breivik is only allowed to operate an egg cooker. For a nutcracker to come into play, first several of the six prison officers on every shift will need formal instructions on how Breivik will be permitted to use it. Perhaps it could be operated by the retired police officers - the ones who have been recommended (by a government employee) to drink coffee and play with Breivik, while these officers will be collecting an extra paycheck. 89.8.239.64 (talk) 13:32, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I guess he'll still be "doing bird". But come on now, have a heart. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:39, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Category:Crimes involving Satanism or the occult
Why does it contain a category Crimes involving Satanism or the occult? Has Breivik every claimed to have been associated with any satanic ideology? The article does not say so. Tashi  Talk to me  21:48, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Category:Nazism and occultism also looks unsupported? Martinevans123 (talk) 21:51, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, that doesn't seem supported. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 03:22, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
 * The closest I could see is his claims about the Templars and his expulsion from Freemasonry, but that's still stretching it a hell of a lot. Removed both.  Ian.thomson (talk) 03:38, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Lead sentence
As there have been quite a few changes to the lead sentence in the article recently, I thought I ought to start discussion here. As I write this, the sentence is:

"Anders Behring Breivik [...] is a Norwegian terrorist, convicted for the 2011 Norway attacks."

I have taken into account differing views on the wording from editors' edit summaries (primarily that Breivik is only know for one terrorism event) so I think that the current choice is appropriate and accurate. There was use of a dash in the sentence, which I've removed as I think it disrupted the flow of reading. matt (talk) 11:46, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Looks fine to me. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:39, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Is this actually only one person
The article says that Breivik is visited by "military chaplain every two weeks and also by a prison visitor who is a military officer (ranked major) and a theologian". Is it possible that this is actually only one person: a prison visitor that is a military chaplain (a theologian with the military rank of major). I think the only reference is from NRK journalists who attended the trial. Why would one during the trial only focus on the military rank of only one of the alleged two? Perhaps the two journalists got that point somewhat wrong, during the four days of trial? 178.232.55.137 (talk) 12:26, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Maybe there's been a mistranslation from the original Norwegian along the way. But the NRK source says this: "I fengselet har Breivik svært lite kontakt med andre mennesker. Alle forespørsler om besøk blir avslått – den eneste han jevnlig treffer er en profesjonell besøksvenn. Etter det NRK kjenner til mottar Breivik besøk av en militærprest hver 14. dag bak en glassvegg." [my emphasis added] How does that translate exactly? Martinevans123 (talk) 12:38, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

"Mini Abu Ghraib"
He has described his prison conditions as a "mini Abu Ghraib." 178.232.55.137 (talk) 12:34, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Do you have a source? Is a controversial soundbite from Breivik notable? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:39, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I think that it is not notable, and there is no mention of him being part of a human pyramid or hanging by his wrists from shackles on a wall. 178.232.55.137 (talk) 12:57, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Unless there is significant coverage/ analysis by secondary sources, I'd agree it's not notable. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:58, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Confiscation of letters
"Politicians from several Norwegian parties have protested Breivik's activities in prison, which they see as him continuing to espouse his ideology and possibly encouraging further criminal acts. The prison authorities have queried the Ministry of Justice on whether these activities, which Breivik terms as network building, can be perceived in the context of the terrorist acts he has committed and have received an affirmative reply from the ministry. This would mean that letters from Breivik may be confiscated. The clause which authorises such measures contains the wording, "... if the package contains information on planning or execution of punishable offense, evasion of the execution or acts which will disturb peace, order, and security". "

There is no mention of particular letters having been able to get through the censorship at the prison, so why should unspecific complaints from politicians be mentioned in the article? 178.232.55.137 (talk) 13:01, 23 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Because it's a notable topic of discussion by politicians? Surely this is the justification, at least in part, for the censorship regime? Martinevans123 (talk) 13:14, 23 April 2016 (UTC) p.s. could you wait to make large scale changes to article content until after discussion, unless there is an obvious problem with sourcing, of other WP:BLP issue? Thanks.
 * There are no references of the prisons ever allowing these sorts of letters to slip thru the censorship. So what is notable about politicians in effect saying that Breivik should not be allowed to write a message on a piece of paper and stuffing a stamped envelope and then letting the ever-present censorship confiscate the letter? Possibly this is one of few topics that a politician can get name-recognition in advance of elections that are held every two years in Norway. What is notable about the prison asking the Justice department if their interpretation of the law is acceptable? That nitty-gritty probably does not belong in the Breivik article. 178.232.55.137 (talk) 13:29, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think that your distrust of Norwegian politicians is a good enough reason to remove something that has been widely reported by the press and which has been part of the article for some time. So I'd argue to keep it in. But happy to hear the views of other editors before we decide. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:35, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * So you've just gone right ahead and removed the last three sentences, which was fully sourced, anyway? Martinevans123 (talk) 13:44, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I would rather say that on the point about correspondence and book writing—the prison system has done everything by the book, and so has the Justice department, so what is notable about politicians' views about a regimen that shows no sign of being softened as far as dissemination of letters and books are concerned? This is my latest edit regarding the matter. 178.232.55.137 (talk) 13:48, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't wholly disagree. But some readers might find that the detail there adds clarity. This is a quite a complex legal issue, after all. Martinevans123 (talk)

Discrediting and ridiculing Breivik by mentioning playstations and torture in the same paragraph
"In the letter, he described the present conditions of his confinement as “torture.” . Do we know enough of the context and the complete wording of the letters to the media outlets? He only gets to meet paid professionals that he has not invited, and none of the visitors that he invites get approved by the prison authorities (to come)—that's part of the context that is getting lost between "playstations" and "torture". 46.212.12.241 (talk) 19:58, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * But they're facts aren't they? Where do suggest is a better location for the "torture" quote? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:00, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Two media outlets on the same day run the story about the letter with the 12 demands. The one outlet does not mention "torture"—the other outlet mentions  "torture". Is this about the description of feelings a tortured soul or half-tortured soul, rather than the actual application of psyops-styled head games torture or the application of causing-instant-pain style torture? Since the one source is to vague about exactly what the alleged torture consists of, and since the other source does not mention the alleged torture, then i don't think that wikipedia has enough information to discern what acts are part of the alleged torture, and wikipedia does not have enough information as to how wikipedia's descriptions of torture might differ from the media's digested description of what Breivik wrote in his 12 point demand. 46.212.12.241 (talk) 21:30, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * We're just reporting Breivik's own written words, from a reliable secondary source. We are neither obliged nor entitled to offer any analysis. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:51, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * When two media outlets on the same day have overlapping stories about the 12 point demand, but do not overlap about the word "torture", then how can wikipedia ensure that Breivik's usage of "torture" is notable? To my knowledge the word "torture" was not an issue at the 2016 trial. Perhaps his present lawyer did a better job of prepping his client than his former lawyer (then elected office candidate, now city councilman) did. If the word "torture" should be mentioned then one should also mention how many times tortur was mentioned in the 2016 verdict. Not everything that Breivik has said to the authorities is notable on wikipedia. 46.212.213.245 (talk) 23:15, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I think this word might illustrate the bias in Breivik's view of his own situation, i.e. it helps to show how he himself sees his situation. But I agree, if only one of two outlet sees it as notable, then it may not be. And yes, I would imagine his lawyer did the best job he could with such accusations. I'd certainly agree with your last point. Martinevans123 (talk) 09:06, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Quisling-style nazism and one-man ceremony in prison
"On 15 March 2016 NRK claimed it "has knowledge of Breivik having conducted a ceremony, to mark his swearing allegiance to" Vidkun Quisling. "

The article already is relaying Breivik's lawyers claim that Breivik converted to Nazism while in prison. Regarding the one-man ceremony in prison or any specific importance of Quisling-style Nazism—notability has not been demonstrated. 178.232.213.58 (talk) 10:40, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

"Norway's worst job" and manipulation by government employees, the press or Breivik

 * "In December 2015 psychiatist Rosenqvist said that "The events of the last year has shown that Breivik acts with restraint [...] now an even longer period has passed in which he has behaved rather exemplary ".

I can not see that any of the smear in the second reference has been established in the 2016 court verdict. And it does contrast with what the court established in the verdict (see the first reference). Should point one be mentioned? Should reference two, and how it contrasts reference one, be mentioned in the wikipedia article? Should both be mentioned, or should none (for now)? 178.232.213.58 (talk) 12:11, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Around two victims died one or two days later
When someone provides references that around two of the victims of 22 July actually died one or two days later, then the following is slightly untrue:

"On 22 July 2011, he killed eight people by detonating a van bomb amid the government quarter Regjeringskvartalet in Oslo, then shot and killed 69". 46.212.221.114 (talk) 23:06, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Dhuhulow
What about their commonalities is not achieved through the use of the Category:Norwegian mass murderers category? It seems to me that if their only commonality is nationality, the existing categorization is adequate. If they have commonalities other than nationality, these are presumably described in reliable sources; can you provide any? –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 21:34, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree with you; the see also item is irrelevant, and I've removed it. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 21:43, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Effective date of the appeal
I am not sure that today's version is correct about the 2016 appeal: I might have made a mistake. Now I am thinking that the appeal was made by the government way before 20 May. I am guessing that what happened on (or around) 20 May, was that the government completed the requirements for the appeal to fully recognized and accepted (by the judicial branch of the government). Please be on the lookout for a facsimilie of a future document (or from around 20 May) that says what is the "effective date" of the appeal. Am I the only one who is slightly uncomfortable that the article is not crystal clear on this (arguably important) point? 89.8.9.254 (talk) 09:35, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Link to the document of 20 May . 89.8.255.178 (talk) 09:52, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Another murderer saying that he threw letters from Breivik
One media source says that Peter Mangs threw letters from Breivik. The source does not spell out the following: Letters being thrown might be interesting for online newspapers, but for an encyclopedia such information might need clarifying on one or more of the points above. With no significant additional information, then I think the article can disregard that letters were thrown, because notability has not been demonstrated. 46.212.245.53 (talk) 20:26, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
 * if Mangs answered any of those letters
 * if any of the envelopes were opened
 * motivation for throwing away (any envelope that was either unopened or opened)
 * how many months or minutes the envelopes were in Mangs possession
 * if Mangs disrespects and/or dislikes Breivik

Christian term in lead section
"The manifesto states its author is "100 percent Christian",[38] but he is not "excessively religious"[38] and considers himself a "cultural Christian" and a "modern-day crusader".[38][237] His manifesto states "I'm not going to pretend I'm a very religious person, as that would be a lie", " So he said that "he is not "excessively religious", and he said that he is not "very religious". 178.232.8.86 (talk) 16:29, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
 * We generally do not use his manifesto as a source for anything here. I think articles tend to reflect the most recently expressed views that an individual has with regard to religious beliefs. Religious views are often hard to pin down to logic. But apart from that, it does seem that he holds conflicting views. Holding directly, or apparently, conflicting views might be an indicator of mental illness, of course. The medical assessments regarding possible psychosis are slightly conflicting but are, in any case, restricted to the times of the attacks themselves and the times of the psychiatric evaluations. So, in summary, I'm suggesting that it doesn't matter that Breivik has made contradictory statements about his religious views, as long as they are reported accurately here and are well sourced. I know this is slightly at odds with the desire of many editors at Wikipedia to be able to pigeon-hole people into one category or another. If categories have to be omitted here, as a result of contradictions, then so be it. Life is not always that simple, especially in the mind of a mass-murderer, it seems. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:37, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has it's own political agenda. Primary sources are non extisting. Makes sense - nearly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.146.148.154 (talk) 19:59, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Odinism - 2015 sources
The following two secondary sources identify Breivik as an Odinist:



There are sources from 2011 that promote speculation and conjecture about a manifesto, asserting that Breivik may be a possible Christian

There are two sources from 2015 that are a direct quote of the killer saying that he is not a Christian and that he is an Odinist.

Per WP:LABEL and WP:SYNTH, wikipedia should not synthesize speculation from 2011 about "cultural chrisitan" into the loaded label "Christian terrorist".

The conflicting evidence from 2015 should be presented later on in the lead section, rather than the first sencence pronouncing "Chrisitan terrorist" when later contradicted by claims of Odinism later in the lead section.

In the absence of clear, explicit declarations in reliable, secondary sources that expressly declare "Christian terrorist" then the phrase should not be used in the lead section due to contradictory evidence from 2015 that he is an Odinist.Note that the dagen.no source says that «kristen terrorist» is a dubious label (Nov 2015).

-- Callinus (talk) 01:04, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Also note, I don't have good sourcing, but there are limited articles saying that what Varg Vikernes is linked to is Neo-völkisch movements - the political pan-Germanic neo-paganism used as a form of ethnic nationalist - Neo-völkisch movements. Some blogs link Breivik's Odinist beliefs to earlier nordic racial paganism.

Hansen
Shouldn't the article (not the title, but throughout the article) say his new last name? Cbswagman (talk) 00:26, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Given the first two words of the article, you could be right. But it might be much better to simply adopt a chronological split, as has been done with e.g. Muhammad Ali, to avoid contradicting very many sources and public perceptions. Martinevans123 (talk) 07:56, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Move to Fjotolf Hansen
Breivik has changed the his name to Fjotolf Hansen. The article should probably be moved to the new name. --Ugly Ketchup (talk) 18:05, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Doesn't WP:COMMONNAME apply? CodeCat (talk) 18:52, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Not yet - The specific rule is WP:NAMECHANGES. I think the idea is that if a subject/thing changes its name then WE should change the name if and when RS starts using that new name. I don't really see that RS has started to use the new name yet. It may soon. But we should probably wait and see. NickCT (talk) 19:00, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * No. He is known by Anders Breivik. Commonname is in place. --Wester (talk) 12:47, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Breivik is notable for the murder of 77 people on 22 July 2011. At that time his name was Anders Breivik and he was subsequently convicted and imprisoned under that same name. No amount of later name-changing will change these simple facts. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:39, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Not yet. He's currently best known as Brekvik. If RS start using Hansen is a significant manner in coverage - then after some time, if the preponderance of sources are thus - also in regards tot he massacre - then an article name should be changed. Note that Chelsea Manning took a while (and frankly I don't think RSes should've rolled with that name change - but they did - probably because this was a transgender issue).Icewhiz (talk) 12:47, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * She is always known by her correct name, and using her deadname would be a deliberate and unnecessary insult. By contrast, nobody calls Breivik by the name he chose for no reason other than to troll us.  He has not and never will do anything of the slightest note under the name Fjotolf. Correctrix (talk) 02:37, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
 * To be clear, squish together the first two pairs of letters: Fj ot ｏｌｆ. The authorities would have rejected his application if he’d straight-up put ‘Adolf’, so he did this, and thinks he’s clever.  It is Nazi propaganda that we shouldn’t let him get away with.

 * Of course not. Not now, and probably not ever.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 15:41, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Should we add the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder to the opening paragraph?
In the opening paragraph it mentions that in the second evaluation Breivik was only diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. Considering that antisocial personality disorder is more associated with violence, wouldn't it be just as worthy of note, if not, more?

Currently : a second evaluation concluded that he was not psychotic during the attacks but did have narcissistic personality disorder.

Proposed : a second evaluation concluded that he was not psychotic during the attacks but did have narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder.

. Yes, these people were mentioned in his "manifesto". But they were not really relevant to the crime judging from the cited sources. This is a WP:BLP problem with regard to people who were mentioned by Breivik. My very best wishes (talk) 19:09, 20 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I undid the removal. Copy of my edit summary: "WP:BLP is not applicable here: these are authors that searched the light for the writings mentioned here. To claim that the writers have nothing to do with the crime (as editor mentions on Talk page) is not relevant at all, since this section analyzes the compendium to the crime, not the crime itself.". Jürgen Eissink (talk) 02:12, 21 March 2019 (UTC).
 * I suggested to remove the following: "Conservative blogger Pamela Geller,[213] Neo-pagan writer Koenraad Elst[215] and Daniel Pipes are also mentioned as sources of inspiration.[216] The manifesto further contains quotes from Thomas Jefferson and George Orwell,[217] as well as from Jeremy Clarkson's Sunday Times column and Melanie Phillips' Daily Mail column.[218] The publication speaks in admiration of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Geert Wilders, Bruce Bawer, Srđa Trifković,[219] and Henryk M. Broder.[220]". I think that's undue. Why it matters so much who he quoted or liked? Cited sources do not explain the significance of this for the crime (that is what he is known for. My very best wishes (talk) 18:34, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Between your edit summary and your comment it looks like you think there's a BLP problem with Thomas Jefferson but that can't be. So please explain very clearly the BLP problem with the content your deleted. 109.99.99.2 (talk) 03:16, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree: this is sourced. However, not every sourced bit of information should be included to WP. See this. This content is simply undue on the page. Consider a typical BLP of a person, let's say a scientist. Do we normally provide a list of everything he cited? Of course not. We do not normally provide even the complete list of his own writings. Same is here. The cited sources do not explain why this is so important that he cited Orwell or whoever. My very best wishes (talk) 15:06, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * And BTW, section "Religious and political views" also needs to be trimmed down. Most of that is relevant, but some parts are not. Will do it later. My very best wishes (talk) 15:26, 22 March 2019 (UTC)


 * P.S. Basically, providing a long list of notable people who he allegedly "admires" or "cited" glorifies the subject of the page, lionizes him. That is not what we want to do. Speaking in terms of his political views, he is just a marginal, nobody. He is notable only for mass murder. My very best wishes (talk) 19:16, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Even among fascist circles, he's not exactly known as an important read. He's nothing more than a far right terrorist - and those are a dime a dozen. The only thing interesting about him is his high body count and the fact that he was cowardly enough to murder children. Goldengirlsdeathsquad (talk) 00:01, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Anders abusive mother and failure to put him into foster care
I don't really find this article to be right. Everyone is described as the victim of Anders. But what has to be remembered is the Anders was the victims of a heavily emotionally and psycologicaly (probably also sexually) abusive mother. And had the Child Welfare Services not been that ineffective he would have been placed into foster care between age 2-4 and had had a chance at a normal life. If Norway learned anything from all of this, then it is that Barnevernet is now internationally known for taking children away that are at risk of being abused rather then abandoning them and leaving them in the care of their abusive parents. Which is a very good thing. And this should be known internationally as well. Anders developed into being a serial killer because of his terrible mother. His mother in turn had also been abandoned by her community, family and Child Welfare Services and had a horrible childhood as well. It is important to take care of the children of your nation in order to avoid disasters like his. I also really despise how his mother is portrayed in this article as a victim of him. She was clearly a perpetrator. -- Sparrow (麻雀)     🐧   12:40, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

If you really want a solution: "One Kuda Without Company", as monotheism teaches. I do believe this requires some thinking on absolute rules. Breivik seems also to symbolize having the aids illness. His name change seems to imply "I am sorry". And also questions if he rather should be lobotomized. Old Zyr customs would indicate a lobotomy longer back, while the islamic "Kuda" signifies everything we want in politics these days.

 * When reading the current article (as of August 2020), my impression was that it expands too much on those childhood events as well as on the prison condition rights trial. It is likely that the article was expanded as news were being released and that with retrospection it could be better summarized...  As for the recent IP address editor's comment, I didn't see any mention of lobotomy and suggest to post sources here that could serve to update the article if necessary.

Forking out the least important details of civil trial against the government (2016-2017)
After someone forks out the "Civil trial against Norway's government" section, one can start streamlining the current article by changing the beginning of that section:

"During 15—18 March 2016, Breivik sued Norway's government was the plaintiff in a civil trial. The Ministry of Justice and Public Security was the defendant in court, since the Correctional Service (which was being sued) was su bordinate to the ministry . The verdict was appealed; the appellate court rendered its verdict, and the supreme court decided not to hear the case."

(Text should be forked into a title such as Anders Behring Breivik's civil trial against Norway's government.) 89.8.121.26 (talk) 12:38, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * "Breivik had become a Nazi in prison" [as of 15 March 2017].

Mother section
I've tagged a huge section on Breivik's mother and likely child abuse because it all originated from one source. The material is covered far more succinctly where it should be, in his early life section. Should this additional section be removed? Unknown Temptation (talk) 22:34, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Of any importance to the rest of the wiki-article? A mother's alleged talk about girls pee-holes (within an apartment)
So a "young couple", that was young in the 1980s, talked to police after the 2011 murders.

The source does not say, that the following was any indication of sexual abuse (rather than a mother's odd attempt at commenting about the boy not having male role-models or whatever, in the home).

'Breivik was then placed [by authority of the Child Welfare Service,] with a young couple. This couple later told police that the mother, when bringing two-year-old Breivik to the house, had asked that he be allowed to touch the man's penis because he had no one to compare himself to in terms of appearance; "He only saw [or was used to seeing girls' pee holes—] jentetisser", the mother told the couple, according to the couple's statement [in 2011 or 2012] to police'.

Source: https://www.tv2.no/a/8142855/. Retrieved 9 April 2021.

Can this be moved to talk page (while waiting for a spin-off article to be created)?

In addition, there are facts about him having sent at least one letter to two different (named) right-wing imprisoned terrorists.--Misery loves company: he has sent letters to "criminal somebodies" (my quote); however, there is no text that demonstrates that the letters have notable content; not even claims about the letters claiming anything about anybody being starstruck etc. 2001:2020:4347:EFBB:31DA:9690:2C67:C407 (talk) 14:37, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

 * If anyone wants to create a "spin-off stub" or spinoff-article, then notable sources (that are independent), do exist.--A (possible) Deletion-discussion would thereafter rule if any specific spinoff-article which might be created about Breivik - is a non-notable topic.--Personally, i am remotely interested regarding the flavor-of-the-decade regarding Breivik and his views about Odinism or which religious figures Breivik might consider pathetic (at any given point in time). However, it has already been (de facto) established that all notable information about Breivik, will not be put into only one wiki-article. (We might be at 2 articles now - not counting the "2011 Norway attack article".)--Regarding wiki-notability of letters to and from Breivik: media has printed facsimile of various letters from Breivik. Media has also told about a wiki-notable Swedish imprisoned right-wing terrorist who has "thrown out" letters from Breivik.--Politicians were scared about Breivik's letter-writing, and turned the screws on that.--During trial, an authority within the government, had a view that Breivik was not permitted/able to receive letters from contacts that he has tried to approach for the first time, after "Breivik's day of terrorism" (my quote).--AndyTheGrump and I seem to have different views, regarding possibly new stubs (or articles). 2001:2020:4307:C2BA:DDE3:4880:7ED5:8D9 (talk) 17:05, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Assets currency conversion wrong?
Two quotes from the article:

"His declared assets in 2007 were about NKr 630,000 (US$76,244)"

".. in 2009 and his assets amounted to 390,000 kroner ($72,063)"

Emailed his manifesto to whom?
"On the day of the attacks, Breivik emailed a compendium of texts entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence, describing his militant ideology." -> Seems important to know who he emailed, and looks weird this way. Douweziel (talk) 03:35, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Politicians and ...? 46.15.98.20 (talk) 21:37, 10 January 2024 (UTC) I am guessing that there is no complete list, that has been made public. However, I seem to remember that many news sources have each mentioned one handful of recipients, and then another media outlet has mentioned another handful of recipients.--I am guessing that I have seen the names of half a dozen or a dozen recipients (but I have no source, and do not recall any of the names for now.). Names published in newspapers, might be only a few dozen. 46.15.98.20 (talk) 21:46, 10 January 2024 (UTC) / 46.15.98.20

Tears, and "12 years since the last time Breivik cried in court"
According to Dagbladet, journalist Martine Aurdal, Breivik cried in court 12 years (before 2024). The source says that then when Breivik cried, "he became touched by his own propaganda-movie, that was shown during the terror-trial after "July 22".--My point is that the one of the 2024 trial's main narrative seems to have become that 'none of the government witnesses has ever seen Breivik cry'.--Without trying to sound insensitive, the 2024 trial section, should maybe not focus on '69 tears in heaven, but none from Breivik' etc.--If this post is regarded as helpful, then fine.--I am not sure yet, that the sources are only saying that 'no one really thinks that Breivik has showed any remorse in 2024, even though some commentators think that they saw a few tears'. But the wind might sort of be blowing in that direction.--Source (about tears, 12 years ago): www.dagbladet.no/meninger/ingen-grater-med-breivik/80793496, Retrieved today. 46.15.98.20 (talk) 22:17, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

2024 trial

 * Thursday and Friday are the last days, before the court adjourns. Just sayin'.--Meanwhile, please look out for sources that say that, Breivik always looses his trials, and then the authorities gets some of its own teeth pulled - and shortly after each trial/final-verdict the authorities have a major cleanup of sanctions against Breivik.--Breivik has never been furloughed or released, so those sanctions are in no way - up for discussion, one might say. 46.15.98.20 (talk) 21:12, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Another thing, different Norwegian media outlets weight things quite differently.--I hope that OP will not be *disappointed*, when information gets moved - line by line - to the talk page.--It's only day three of the trial, and government witnesses are saying things such as, that Breivik regards his captors as family members (while they are getting a paycheck to supervise Breivik). Priceless stuff of that ilk, is not the first stuff that i will be moving to the talk page.--Another thing: keep in mind the Streisand effect: if one makes a big stink about a non-problem (or minor problem), then a case might not develop into something that takes on a life of its own.--The talk pages of this article has so far "landed" the article into something that a silent majority of wikipedians are somewhat satisfied with.--Good news, the 2024 trial is not dealing with which computer games Breivik is playing: so if anyone gives a hoot about if Breivik is still playing Rayman Evolotion (or whatever that program is called), then i expect that the 2024 trial Section, will have no answers. 46.15.98.20 (talk) 21:28, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Translating the word lederperson
I am assuming that the English translation of the word, might stay in the article. (The word was said by one of the prison official on Day 3 of the trial in 2024.)--'Some sort of leader-figure' is not really what is being said--For now, the closest translation might be "someone in the category of leadership".--The word, i think, could be used to describe someone who one is not sure if is a leader (of an organisation), but on the surface it seems that perhaps the person is a leader (of an organisation).--Anyway, translating to "leader figure", would be going to far, i feel; i am guessing that the witness knows other precise words for various kinds of 'leader-type people'.--Note: some words have been in use for decades, but might not be in any major dictionaries.--The word has been around for decades, and i would say that it has not changed its meaning (for that time).--Conclusion: "leader figure", was not what the witness said.--If this post was helpful, then fine. 46.15.99.40 (talk) 05:50, 11 January 2024 (UTC) Leader-like figure, is what I have landed at, for now. 46.15.96.109 (talk) 15:32, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

RedCross-dog and the judge's some questions
On (the middle of) Day 4, the judge had some questions for Breivik about the woman with the petting-dog or RedCross-dog.--The question was not if the government had brought in a woman (with a dog), to make the man's juices flow, or make the man hot-to-trot.--The newspaper's view is that Breivik tried to chat her up (and she revealed that she is not single, and has kids).--For now, I am not seeing that the commentators are making much of the RedCross-dog etc and the judge's question.--Seems that no priceless testimony to see, right here, for now.--Source, Nettavisen, nettavisen.no/nyheter/breivik-saksoker-staten/s/5-95-1557595. 46.15.96.109 (talk) 16:50, 11 January 2024 (UTC)


 * One should consider looking for references that say, the court (of public opinion) says that the stroking-the-fur-of-the-pet lasted only 10 minutes, and then one (or more things happened which the court considers out-of-character for a person that has been kept in a 'concentration camp' for c. 11 years) : It is unlikely that the prisoner was disappointed with the 'un-Nazi appearance etc' of the Golden Retriever dog, or Labrador dog.--The same court finds that there were no other disappointments about the dog.--The same court finds no literature of a person's senses being overwhelmed (sensory overload) - and then starting to chit-chat with a new (human) face that has appeared at the village's square (or at the prison camp's center).--For now, I think it is okay to source that the judge asked Breivik questions about the dog-petting.--It might also be okay to source that the stroking-the-fur lasted for "... ten minutes". 46.15.96.43 (talk) 04:48, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
