Talk:2024 Nobel Prize in Physics

I think your idea of "this kind of small articles might actually be a good way to cover the prizes" is very good. Much more constructive than I'm used to seeing in comments. I think it's worth brining up to the people who deal with this kind of thing. Sushidude21! (talk) Sushidude21! (talk) 06:44, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

December 2024 (2)

Again, please stop doing things like this without clear consensus, especially when on the talk page you've erroneously referred to listings of his grandson, not of him, inte frequency statistics you cited. If you want to change the article name and place your personally favorite name version first, please start a move discussion and see how that goes!

I ask you to stop sending these admonishments here to my talk page; this not the right place to discuss this content; the only thing we can accomplish here is to get personal—and that's not constructive. Despite our disagreements, I wish you happy new year! Jähmefyysikko (talk) 17:49, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User talk pages are for discussing behavior, not article content. User bevaior should normally not be discussed on article talk pages. So you have it turned around. Happy New Year anyway. You and I can get along if you can try to stop imposing your own personal will on article content without consensus. I would look forward to seeing that --SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:06, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Scandinavian monarchs

Hello Jähmefyysikko, I was wondering if you have any sources on Norwegian and Danish monarchs, and if so do your sources usually name them using numerals or patronymics? Векочел (talk) 22:08, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Recently, a lot of literature is published via Brill's Northern World series (access here via Wikipedia Library). Looking at the indexes should give an overview of the variety of names (although the names in indexes can differ from the actual prose). In the literature, the names of Danish and Norwegian monarchs are more variable than those of the Swedish kings and making generalizations is difficult.

I did not do any statistical research here, but for Danes, both epithets and numerals seem common, perhaps equally so. Some authors like Sverre Bagge (Cross and Scepter) use both when the person is introduced the first time ("Erik VI Menved"). For Norwegian kings, patronymics/epithets seem common, not sure about the numerals. There is also some variability between Eirik and Erik, and few historians even use Old Norse names.

The terminology in local languages is also of some interest, since English literature is influenced by it. Danish encyclopedia lex.dk does not use numerals in the article titles (e.g. Eriks), but in some of the prose the form "Erik 5. Klipping" is used. The Norwegian encyclopedia snl.no generally uses both numerals and patronymics/epithets (e.g. Magnuses).

It might be that [Name] [roman numeral] [epithet] would be the most consistent form for the article titles here, but I am far from sure. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 12:20, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
