Janus Djurhuus edit
- ... that Janus Djurhuus' Yrkingar was the first collection of poems by a Faroese poet to be published?

interesting article, date, length fine, offline sources AGF. I am not happy with an apostrophe for someone to be introduced, also the article states the fact a bit different, therefore:
- ALT1: ... that Yrkingar (Poems) by Janus Djurhuus was the first collection of a single poet's work published in Faroese? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:04, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not seeing the difference between the two as important enough, frankly; there was no previous collection of poems in Danish by a Faroese poet, so it amounts to the same thing. Plus the title indicates that the poems are in Faroese '-) (I believe there were collections of the ballads, so I'm not claiming "first Faroese poetry book," although at least one source does.) I don't see a problem with using an apostrophe and would rather leave the reader to find out what Yrkingar means, but would this be a good compromise?

all suggestions. I personally like - especially for the strange name I don't know how to pronounce, especially ending on an "s" - the apostrophe not so much. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:55, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
