Ivar the Boneless

I've reverted your edit at this article. It appears that this is your own analysis, not what the source actually says. One of the things new editors find unusual about Wikipedia is that we don't allow editors to make their own interpretations of sources. If you read WP:NOR you'll hopefully understand why I reverted you. Basically, your source isn't discussing Ivar the Boneless so far as I can see (if I'm wrong, apologies), so you can't use it. Dougweller (talk) 14:13, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello. The source provided did not discuss Ivar the Boneless, but Imar, witch you clearly link to Ivar the Boneless, witch might be the same person, but it is up for debate - and you do not provide any referances for that your self. Fact is, historians do not know if Imar and Ivar the Boneless are the same person, and that was the point i was trying to make. The ulster annals do mention Imar as being king of all norwegians in Ireland and Britan: Annals of Ulster: Imhar rex Nordmannorum totius Hibernię & Brittanie uitam finiuit (Ímar king of the Norwegian Vikings of the whole of Ireland and Britain ended his life.)Ref: Ó Corráin, Donnchadh (1998) Vikings in Ireland and Scotland in the Ninth Century. CELT. p.37

Further on, Lochlann was long believed to be identical to Norway by historians, however this is questioned now, by scholars like Ó Corráin, witch believe Lochlann is "viking Skotland" or the viking realms established in and around Scotland. Large parts of northern Scotland was conquered and settled by vikings from Norway. And thus, the name Lochlann became the Irish name for Norway later on (11th century).

But the Annals don't discuss any of this - obviously they don't discuss modern historians. You've been told now by two editors you need to source your material. Lack of sources in an article isn't a reason to add more unsourced material. Please read WP:VERIFY and WP:NOR. And please don't respond here but at Talk:Ivar the Boneless.

The first editor requested more sources while i still was edeting, as a new user ( - and my first attempt to edit) I didnt hit the previous button, but save button to look at the changes. That was a mistake on my behalf. However the sources was added and he was happy. I have given you a replay on your talk page.
