[edit] Band

There is an Icelandic band called Jan Mayen (listed on Wikipedia for their song Nick Cave). This should be mentioned in the article, with a link to a Wikipedia page about the band once that gets up. See their site for more info: http://myspace.com/janmayen

Yes, why not? If you want to add it you can make a Jan Mayen in popluar culture heading towards the end to put it under. --- Nidator 18:12, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missile range?

The Norwegian Defence Forces are considering test-firing missiles over Jan Mayen (presumably the Naval Strike Missile) and this could bring them into conflict with the Directorate for Nature Management ([1]). This could be relevant for the article. -- Nidator 18:13, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Language variants

This article uses a mix of Am-E and Br-E. We should only use one variant; which? 82.20.28.142 (talk) 12:29, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I assume that British would be best since the place is in Europe, and belongs to Norway where BrE is taught in schools. -- 194.17.253.121 (talk) 12:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
I've further standardised on Br-E and done some copy editing. 82.20.28.142 (talk) 18:04, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nordland

This article states Nordland as a Mid-Norwegian county while it is refered to as a Northern-Norwegian county. I cannot say I have ever heard it being refered to as Mid-Norwegian.--EgMeg (talk) 18:38, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

You are of course correct. Nordland is a county in North Norway. The counties of Central Norway are Nord-Trøndelag, Sør-Trøndelag and Møre og Romsdal. I will make the required changes. -- Nidator T / C 20:11, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
