Split?
My Danish isn't good enough to make it through the entire Aarsrapport, but it seems like KNB might have recently changed their brand to "Brugseni" to distinguish themselves from the Danish chain. Then again, it could just be Danish grammar or the Inuit form of the word or sth, so I'll leave it here for now. — LlywelynII 03:05, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- If the Greenlandic grocer is moved, though, kindly remember to fix the incoming links looking for it. — LlywelynII 03:06, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
Edit: Solves that problem. The Coop Denmark page makes it pretty clear that there is not and never has been a Danish company "Brugsen" but it was simply a division or brand of FDB that's been defunct for decades. The present brands are different and have entirely distinguishable names and should be split off as separate pages or as Coop Denmark, which currently redirects to FDB's main page. Any Danish editors know of any of them that go by the simple "Brugsen" handle?
