HI!

Just want tosay, that the "official website" is no longer an official. It's just something like commercial. I couldn't find any stuff of him.

Regards from Germany.

Unsupported Opinion edit

"he is considered to be one of the first modern strongman competitors, and is regarded by many to be one of the best strongmen of all time." With no link/refs these statements have no credibility. Who considers him; who are the many?

Missing competitions edit

There are other events and competitions that he took part in other than the obvious and the published ones in the article. The 1993 World Viking challenge for instance, which needs to be mentioned in the main article as one of his achievements. An edit and update would be much appreciated along with any other competitions that he may have competed in. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.205.89 (talk) 02:54, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Dab hatnote edit

Hatnote dab rewritten as follows as follows

This is because (IMO) someone not overly familiar with the subjects are more likely to confuse the two strongmen- and not even realise they're looking at the wrong one- than other people of that name. Ubcule (talk) 21:49, 16 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Superbowl LII ad edit

Did Magnús Ver Magnússon appear (as alleged) as one of the Vikings in Chrysler's Dodge truck commercial, during Superbowl LII? NCdave (talk) 01:04, 6 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

What is the "Ver"? edit

I looked both on this page and on Icelandic name to find out what the "Ver" part of "Magnús Ver Magnússon" was, but could find nothing. What does it mean? Lockesdonkey (talk) 16:33, 20 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
