Talk:Scandinavian ballad tradition

Lars Winnerbäck is a Christian?

Personally I have never found a typically Christian message in Winnerbäck's music. Why not change the text from "a Christian socialist political message" to just "a socialist political message"?213.100.79.140 (talk) 14:29, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish ballads - visa?

This article on a Swedish topic has no iw-link to Swedish Wikipedia. The topic of this article seems to fairly well match sv:visa, although that article does not exclude related traditions in neighbouring countries. --Stighammar (talk) 12:02, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I edited WikiData per your suggestion. Regards, Iselilja (talk) 12:15, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's a perfect match, since the article at svwp is about a more general Scandinavian genre. But OK for now, I guess. --Stighammar (talk) 14:52, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How established is the term "Swedish ballad tradition" for "svensk vistradition"/"svensk visa"? Is there a good source, or are we establishing a neologism? --Stighammar (talk) 12:06, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We've got to call it something, and rather than being a neologism, it's just a plain translation. It is also in use in the title of this book, so it seems OK. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:40, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
