Talk:Fin (legend)

[Untitled]
I live in Lund, I've heard the story about Finn more than once and this article is the first mention I've heard about a heart. The version of the story I've heard the priest promised his eyes and his eyes only. There's no mention of a heart in the Swedish wiki article either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.254.37.112 (talk) 21:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Article clean-up
, I started cleaning up the article and adding inline citations. I got the content from here, which I am not sure would be considered a reliable source, so I used the source info on that page. I found that it was a word-to-word copy of each of the legends.

I also added some images, but am not sure if they are the best. It would be really lovely if there is an image in the public domain of Fin the troll and/or Finn the giant from an illustrated book.

You said that you had more information about the legend. It would be interesting to know what else you might have about it... and if you have any edits / comments about where it is at now.–CaroleHenson (talk) 06:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I haven't copy edited it yet, it's late here and I am calling it a night.–CaroleHenson (talk) 06:31, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Great! It's already looking a lot better. I'll look into the situation with the sources and get back soon. Yakikaki (talk) 14:05, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Excellent! I will review what I added for copy edits.–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:18, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello again! I was really lucky to find in one of my old books a very thorough account of when the legend appears in different sources in Sweden. The book is from 1915, but Mereth Lindgren writes (in 1995) that it's still the best overview of the subject. So without diving really deep into specialist reviews, I think this may be the best I can do for the Swedish part of the legend. Please feel free to copy edit it if you find any weird phrases or so. I'll run through it all again a bit later, but would also like to hear what you think, first. Yakikaki (talk) 18:27, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Wow! Your additions are great! You added a lot of great background information and put the legend in proper context. I like it.–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:44, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
