Itinerary edit

The description of the sites in Norway doesn't seem strictly related to the intineray (p.15) followed by Nikulas. Additional references in the italian version (in Italian, sorry). Pietro (talk) 15:50, 18 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Falsified quotes etc edit

I have removed falsified quotes and false statements added by the original creator of the article (one of a large number of socks of indefinitely blocked user Art Dominique), claiming that Leiðarvísir og borgarskipan said that Kvenland was situated north of Värmland, i.e. on the Swedish side of the Gulf of Bothnia, and extended north from there all the way "to Greenland" (which would support the utterly fringe theories propagated by Art Dominique all over en-WP), since the source text says nothing of the sort. According to the text Kvenland was in central Finland: the text lists a number of regions in the central part of Scandinavia, from west to east, beginning with Namdalen in central Norway and then saying that east thereof was Jämtland, then Härjedalen, then Kvenland, then Finland (which at that time only referred to the southwestern corner of today's Finland, i.e. the region that is still known as Finland Proper), and then Karelia, and that all the land north thereof was Finnmark (i.e. the land of the Sami people, since the medieval Scandinavian name for Sami was Finns. It may seem like this has very little to do with the subject of this article, but the article was created only as a vehicle for propagating their fringe theories, so it's worth mentioning, in case a future sock tries to add it all back again.
