Up-Helly-Aa: Insideoot, a book by Vertigo is an advertisement. Alpheus (talk) 19:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't find such a book, through the link or otherwise, so have removed the link. If anyone can find such a book, please add it as a reference. --Wikiain (talk) 00:56, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

Shetlanders I've talked to use a pronunciation that differs from that given in the article; more like /ʊphɛliˈɑː/. -- Elphion (talk) 22:20, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update information (and photos)

Looking at the article, I see that this needs to have some updated images and possibly a clear up on trying to make the article more informational. If anybody wishes to clean up this article, I suggest find new images of Up Helly Aa and insert them on this article, you may get them on Shetlopedia ^[1](Shetlopedia main website). — Preceding unsigned comment added by SarahTHunter (talk • contribs) 16:08, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The "Origins" section also needs some further work, as the final sentences suggest slightly different origins from the main part of the paragraph, and this ought to be tidied up. Deipnosophista (talk) 19:38, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
