Eirik Raude
I see you are changing the nationality of Eirik Raude from Norwegian to Icelandic in several articles. I hope we can come to some agreement here as your edits are clearly not accurate. He is at best Norwegian-Icelandic. He was born in Norway and stayed some time in Iceland before he went to Greenland. I do realise that this move on your part is of course part of the discourse between Norwegian and Icelandic national romantic thoughts. Who discovered America and all that. A similar issue as Norway has with Denmark over Ludvig Holberg and Peter Tordenskjold. I also realise that I as a Norwegian might be partial to emphasising the Norwegian side. But I am also a historian and I think you are going a little bit too far with the Eirik Raude thing and hope you will be able to take part in a solution. Inge 13:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
