New name for this article?[edit]

Is it just me or wouldn't it be better to name this Nólsoyar Páll like the Faroese and Danish pages? So far, I've created a redirect to the other name. Valentinian ^(talk) 23:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the page. The other Scandinavian Wikis follow the Faroese example. Valentinian ^(talk) 11:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The first ocean-going ship since the middle ages? Really? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.125.21.101 (talk) 13:12, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I suspect that's not entirely true :) It might have been the first Faroese oceangoing ship since the middle ages, but I'm not so sure about that either. Also, he did *not* die in Sumba - he was lost at sea. 212.55.39.188 (talk) 00:50, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
