Spy contributed to UK defeat in 1940 [edit]

A BBC article discusses a spy story relevant to Norway in WWII: [1]. Perhaps someone will want to contribute to the article from this source (or not). I am no expert in the matter. David Hollman (Talk) 12:05, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Name [edit]

Why is there need to qualify the name of this article at all? There are no other pages about occupations of Norway. Also, the name of this page does not conform with almost every other non WW2 occupation page I can find. Moreover, are we to believe that it is necessary to find every instance of the word "Germany" in every article on WW2 so that we might replace it with "Nazi Germany?" I propose that the name be changed to "Occupation of Norway." Saji Loupgarou (talk) 07:14, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Norway has been occupied and/or administered by a foreign power many times before (e.g. by Denmark and Sweden). Thus I guess it is fairly justified to specify in the title what occupation the article refers to. However I wonder if "occupation" really is the right term at all. I have a feeling that most other articles have a title along the lines of "Country X during World War II" (e.g. Sweden during World War II). The thing is, many articles deal specifically with the period that a country was occupied (which may have been brief or long) while others deal with the whole 1939-1945 period. Which leads to a whole myriad of different titles. Tricky issue. --m3taphysical (talk) 15:20, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

If you'll scroll back, you'll see that a consensus was already reached on this matter. HammerFilmFan (talk) 14:43, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I read the whole discussion. But conformity matters more than consensus. There is always room for change. Anyway, if this page were to be flooded by POV editors (not saying that it is) the "consensus" would likely be unacceptable. I agree that it is a tricky issue. I think the way the Occupation of Poland article has dealt with its name might be appropriate here... though this really needs to be discussed at a level where all military contributors can come to a legitimate consensus on the naming standards of all occupation articles. How could we go about doing such a thing? Saji Loupgarou (talk) 07:21, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany → German occupation of Norway – The current name is needlessly verbose there is no need for the disambiguation word of Nazi (German occupation of Norway is a redirect). As an alternative "Occupation of Norway by Germany" would also be a suitable name. PBS (talk) 13:56, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Comment the previous move discussion is archived: Talk:Occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany/Archive 1#Occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany -- PBS (talk) 21:42, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
Support consistent nomenclature for similar articles. -- Ohc ^¡digame!_{¿que pasa?} 10:00, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
Support first version per nom, more concise. No other German occupations to consider. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 05:26, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Support agree with points made by Peacemaker67, above. Especially historical uniqueness of event. Irondome (talk) 19:39, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
