Hello, Gange Hrolfr, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

European colonization of the Americas

I understand your argument, but I don't think it's accurate and it's certainly not sourced. Note that policy says that once removed, unsourced material should not be replaced without sources meeting WP:RS. Karlesfini and Erikson were from the Icelandic Commonwealth which was not part of Norway at that time and Norway certainly didn't send him to explore. We generally use Norsemen to describe the explorers and colonisers at the time of Vinland. Iceland itself was settled " by many other emigrant settlers, largely Scandinavians and their thralls, many of whom were Irish or Scottish." Doug Weller talk 12:24, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kingdom of Norway vs feats by individual Norwegians

Hello. Stop re-adding material that has been removed for being irrelevant. The article is about the Kingdom of Norway, i.e. the political entity, not about feats by individual Norwegians. Your claim that anything accomplished by individual Norwegians can be claimed for the Kingdom of Norway, and any area ruled by a Norwegian can be counted as a possession of Norway, is as ridiculous/laughable as if anyone would claim that the Kievan Rus' and the entity it arose from were Swedish possessions because of the ruling family/class being Swedes.
