This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
An infobox is determined by the text in the article itself, which ideally is based on reliable sources (i.e. Sources → article → infobox)
First off, the article's text doesn't use "Dano-Norwegian" or similar, it uses "Danes" and "Danish", therefore the infobox should include the same (see H:IB)
Now, to clarify that the article cites the sources correctly, you have to see each individual source. I have already done this and can confirm the sources used for the article are cited correctly (see WP:CS). So to conclude, it is wrong to use "Dano-Norwegian", when the article (and thereby also the sources) doesn't use it to describe the invasion.
Now you may counter with "But Norwegians were just as much a belligerent", which would not change anything. Norwegians clearly mustn't have been of enough importance for the historians to use, and so shouldn't we. Notably, Eiríkr Hákonarson has been described as a "military commander of Cnut" by Timothy Bolton, which further diminishes your argument. Tinkaer1991 (talk) 18:15, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
