Talk:Hálendið (novel)

Title edit

Hi there Þjarkur! You changed the title of this article in the belief that '"Novel" is not a part of it's title going by sources'. But the title page (as opposed to the cover) of the novel does give the title as Hálendið: Skáldsaga -- and it's the title page which is usually seen as the definitive record of a book's title. A good way to check the correct title for Icelandic books is via https://leitir.is: https://leitir.is/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=ICE01_PRIMO001206037&context=L&vid=GEGNIR&search_scope=GEGNIR&isFrbr=true&tab=default_tab&lang=is_IS. I suggest we change the name back to the correct one. Alarichall (talk) 08:36, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

(Sorry, should have been more detailed in my edit summary) I could see that it was its name in the catalogues, but not on the publisher's page [1] or any secondary sources [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Thought I was moving to the WP:COMMONNAME, but I'll move back if you want to go by the catalogues / title page. (By the way, what a funny ping to get, am listening to your MP3 course at the moment  )Thjarkur (talk) 10:35, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hmm, I see that WP:COMMONNAME might make sense of this. Perhaps we could keep the real title in the infobox? I hope the MP3s are useful! Small world :-) Alarichall (talk) 17:59, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
