Talk:Helluland

Helluland
Several translations are possible: helle: flat stone, helleland: more like flat rock ground, helle: tilt .1, heller: something tilted, e.g: It would be meaningful to use "heller" about a protruding rock providing shelter beneath. .2. Looking further into it, the word "helle" or "heller" seems to be intertwined with the word "hellig" meaning "holy". There is an island "Holy island" in the Irish sea named so because "hellige" (holy) monks lived in a cave under a "heller" (rock)..3 St.Trond (talk) 17:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Removed map
Removed Image:Vinland karta, Nordisk familjebok.png, a "Hypothetical map of Vinland, Markland and Helluland" from the "Nordisk Familjebok. 1921", as it is blatantly false. As the article states, it seems more likely Helluland was on Baffin Island and it is absolutely certain that Vinland was on Newfoundland, not Quebec. If the article expands far enough that we're discussing previous erroneous theories, the image can be brought back in to discuss earlier errors, but it shouldn't be posted as a potentially correct anything. — LlywelynII  16:03, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

duplicate text
Why are there two nearly identical translations of the "Saga of Eric the Red" inserted one after the other? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:CA10:18A0:C10E:DC0F:81A8:15E4 (talk) 03:04, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
