Talk:Olof Thunberg

Rolled back some
I am rolling back several new edits where unsourced material was added, it being sourced at svWP is not sufficient. Wrote to the editor about it. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 12:23, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * This reversal is something new. Are we linking to articles in other language projects now and not bothering to source things on English Wikipedia because sources are included elsewhere? Need to know if this is a considerable policy change. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 16:08, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Improvements have been made. As per these replies I am removing 2 links to svWP and not red-linking that name since an article about that son recently has been deleted on enWP. I am leaving the Mona Andersson redlink since no article about her has ever been created on enWP.--SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:03, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Family relation to Svante Arrhenius
How is Olof Thunberg related to Svante Arrhenius? 2601:1C1:8A00:1700:2409:FEB5:9C5C:A3D8 (talk) 00:20, 5 November 2019 (UTC)


 * From what I've read, Svante Arrhenius is Olof Thunberg's grandfather who Olof's son Svante Thunberg was named after. Svante Thunberg is Greta Thunberg's father, so Olof is her grandfather and Svante Arrhenius is her great-great-grandfather. 2601:1C1:8A00:1700:F193:BE7D:D5EB:8140 (talk) 01:16, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
 * No, Arrhenius was not Olof Thunberg's grandfather (so you will find no reliable source making that claim).
 * From what I can see on a genealogy website, Olof's grandmother Augusta Margareta Thunberg was a 2nd cousin of Arrhenius.
 * I responded with more details at Talk:Svante Arrhenius. --Fyrisdal (talk) 22:43, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
