Talk:Margit Sandemo

Valdres
Just noticed the text "Lena, Østre Toten, Valdres": Østre Toten and Valdres are two different places. Something must be wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.167.187.166 (talk) 23:10, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Can someone add a picture 'Margit Sandemo at book fair of Göteborg 2005' from swedish Wikipedia for this site, because myself can not. Pqpq 11:48, 31 Januar 2005
 * I don't know how to add a picture, but in case some non-Swedish-literate person does, here is the URL to the Swedish article about her (which currently has that picture): http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margit_Sandemo --Peter Knutsen 12:38, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Swedish naming
Is there a good reason why the book's titles use the Swedish titles, when they are written by a Norwegian author? I propose they are changed to the Norwegian titles. Weedar 16:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * She is Norwegian/Swedish, and writes in a mixture of both languages, so they go through editors for a complete translation into both languages, as far as I've heard. Her spoken language is decidedly more Swedish. Tales 22:54, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, I have the books in Norwegian, and in the jacket the original title is stated in Swedish.Tales 19:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup
I haven't used tags before, but shouldn't this have a clean-up tag for grammar and general language issues? Tales 18:14, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Added tag, cleaned up some and removed this:
 * "The events of novels are placed in Europe in the Middle Ages and in the beginning of the Modern Times, especially in Norway and Iceland. Sometimes the main characters have adventures more far away, such as in Spain and Austria."
 * Even further away than Europe... such as Spain and Austria? Tales 20:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No even further than Europe, but even further away than Norway and Iceland. --Movedgood 13:15, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not a native English speaker and consequently I am blind for my own grammar mistakes. It's fine that you have did clean-up, but tag doesn't make the article better. Tell which sections of article need yet clean-up, please. --Movedgood 13:31, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean any offense with the tag. I was planning to edit it more this weekend, but my router died. I'd say about 90 % of the text needs editing, but English isn't my native language either, so there are limits to what I can do, hence I put the tag there in the hopes that someone might see it and help out.

Ancestry
I have deleted the statement that Sandemo's ancestors can be traced back to 350 BC. There is no known ancestry for anyone (at least not anyone of European ancestry, I am not sure what is actually known when it comes to Chinese genealogy) that stretches that far back. See e.g. Descent from antiquity. Sjöberg77 13:16 (CET), 17 June 2010. —Preceding undated comment added 11:17, 17 June 2010 (UTC).


 * I have deleted the claim that she descends from 800 kings and however many emperors. It's just utter nonsense, no matter if some newspaper or whatever claimed it.Wjhonson (talk) 21:22, 15 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I reversed these claims - I have found one family tree with ancient Egyptian ancestors. --91.152.138.137 (talk) 13:40, 8 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I am going to remove the statement about tracing ancestry back to 350 BC, since this isn't contained in the source provided when these genealogist items were added here. Moreover, the IP 91.152.138.137 also provided no source for this claim. I also shall modify the claim that her mother was a countess, and remove the claim that she lost her nobility by marrying an unnobeled man. (Her mother, Elsa Reuterskiöld, belonged to one of the old noble families where all members 'possessed nobility dignity' (innehade adlig värdighet). Such a dignity could not be lost by marrying, but only (rarely) in some cases where a noble person was found guilty of a felony. The head of the family had the title baron (or freiherr), by a more modern nobilisation, where the title was inherited by primogeniture; however, Elsa belonged to a younger branch; I think that the baron at the time of her marriage was her cousin. Sometimes (although this technically was an abuse), a title corresponding to baroness may have be employed also for females in Elsa's position; this not quite adequate usage might or might not have been influenced by her marriage, and had nothing to do with her unchanged actual status as an untitled noblewoman.) Finally, I'll retain the claim about 800 kings and 15 emperors, but modify it as being just her own claim, since that indeed is noted in the given source. (In Angrer på at brente brevene. this is formulated thus: "Nedstammer, ifølge henne selv, fra 800 konger og 112 keisere.") JoergenB (talk) 18:27, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
