Really a Danish philologist?

[edit]

Hello @Ramblersen2!

You've put Magnús in the category 'Danish philologists'. But is there any reason to think he was Danish? He's already in the category 'Icelandic philologists'; if your reasoning is that all Icelanders under Danish rule count as Danes, then the obvious solution would be to make the category 'Icelandic philologists' a subset of 'Danish philologists' rather than tagging people with both categories. I'm not sure how well that would go down though! Alarichall (talk) 17:47, 20 May 2022 (UTC) @User:Alarichall: No that was of course a mistake. I was adding some Norwegian and Icelandic philologists from the time of the personal union and who worked in Denmark to the Danish categories by century and added him by mistake.
