Talk:Axel Jensen

And the Rest is Written in the Stars
Perhaps "And the Rest is Wrote in the Stars" would be a better translation of the title, as the original title includes a similar "error". --Odd M. Nilsen 14:58, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

You are mistunderstand. The writing error "skrivd" is part of the original title. It is a point in itself that it is supposed to be "cockney"-norwegian.--Tubak 18:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's why I put the word error in quotation marks, and also why I suggested to bring it along to the translated title.--Odd M. Nilsen 03:08, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Lena
Several articles project-wide contains a line saying something to the effect that "Axel Jensen had a relationship with Cohen's girlfriend Lena." In no instance is this claim sourced.

It seems to have been first introduced by a Norwegian IP to no:Axel Jensen on 30 August 2005, then to Swedish Wikipedia on 3 September 2005, and found its way to the English Wikipedia on 23 September 2005.

Since then it found its way into en:Marianne Ihlen on its creation 14 August 2016‎. Unsourced. And from there it entered German Wikipedia on 22 October 2016 quote "Axel Jensen hatte eine kurze Affäre mit Cohens damaliger Freundin.", French Wikipedia on 3 November 2016 quote "Son mari l'auteur norvégien, Axel Jensen l'a quitte pour Lena, la propre petite amie de Leonard Cohen", and Chinese Wikipedia 20 November 2016 quote "詹森和科恩的女友莉娜有着微妙的关系. ".

I suppose this Lena could be the Swedish woman Lena Folke-Olsson (Thresher, 2004; Jensen & Mejlænder, 2002;) with whom Jensen had two kids and lived in Larvik, Norway from 1962, and Folke-Olsson was indeed part of the group of foreign artist living on Hydra, Greece (Hesthamar, 2014, pp. 78-). I can, however, find no mention of Cohen having had a relationship to any Lena, in fact neither Simmons, 2012, nor Nadel, 2010, mentions any Lena at all. Thus, I'm going to do a round on the project pages mentioned and remove the statement. Unfortunately, several news sources have already picked up this error and printed it as a fact.
