Talk:Johan Castberg

A small detail, but
I still don't agree with the "category:liberal party politicians". He wasn't elected on a liberal party ticket, yes, he was part of the liberal parliamentary group, but at this time that did not imply party membership. As the article states, his organisation "had loose ties" with the Liberal party. Well done on expanding the article, though!--Barend (talk) 09:10, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, things were more complicated than I originally thought. However, what about this detail from the NSD biography: "Formann - Gjøviks venstreforening". Maybe a phone call to Øystein Sørensen is what we need. Punkmorten (talk) 13:55, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd rather phone Leiv Mjeldheim. But phoning people and asking them would be OR anyway, unless they can point us to something they have published. Of course, the Rad. PP and Venstre were very closely connected, and towards the end, I don't think Venstre contested the RPP's "safe" seats, although it caused some acrimony that the RPP still contested some Venstre seats. But all I've read still makes it clear that they were formally, and in some periods really, quite separate entities. But SND does indeed say "chairman - Gjøvik Venstre". But without mentioning years. Hm. I suppose it's enough documentation to justify calling him a Liberal party politician at some point, though.--Barend (talk) 00:06, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Torgrim Castberg not his son
Torgrim Castberg is listed as one of two sons. I believe Trogrim was his brother. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.211.97.174 (talk) 21:36, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
