Finnum/Scridefinnum?

The poem seems to distinguish between two groups: the Finnum and the Scridefinnum. At the present, the texts links both groups to the wikiarticle about the Sami. Please state a source for the view that the Old English poem Widsith uses the terms Scridefinnum and Finnum as synonyms (for a group that nowadays can be termed the Sami). Clarifer

Why does Gloms point to an article on the Glomma River. That article does not discuss any peoples of the area - are they supposed to be from there? Rmhermen 01:46, 30 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Is this really supposed to be Theuderic I, or is it one of all the other Theodoric? /Pieter Kuiper 08:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Aren't the Woingum the Vangiones? Notum-sit (talk) 16:20, 1 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I don't think so. The name Woingas suggest that they are related to someone or something named Wa, but I have no clue what that could be.--Berig (talk) 08:42, 2 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Just like the Thüringians? ;-) Notum-sit (talk) 11:24, 2 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yes. Unfortunately, only fragments of this era remain.--Berig (talk) 11:43, 2 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Gävle??

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

If Gävle existed at all before 1000 AD, it seems unlikely to have been internationally known. The identification with "Gefflegum" is due to Johann Martin Lappenberg, but has been dismissed by Swedish historians. But it was in the Encyclopedia Britannica, and that counts as a reliable source... /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 19:38, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Wada

The reference to Wada should link to the page for Wade (folklore).

Daner > Danes

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Since "Daner" already redirected to "Danes_(Germanic_tribe)" I changed the three instances of this name to "Danes". After all, it's supposed to be an English translation, and the English name is not "Daner" but "Danes"! If anyone disagrees, by all means revert, but please explain.
