"There is no mention of a swedish king"

"There is no mention of a (Christian) Swedish king, even though the crusade took place against a nominally Swedish province, and the Danish king was married to a Swedish princess, Margaret Fredkulla." This sentence seems somewhat disjointed from the rest of the paragraph. Where is no mention of a swedish king? In danish sources? Irrwichtel (talk) 18:16, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Page moved

I WP:boldly moved this page from the Swedish name Kalmare ledung to Kalmar Expedition. This name is used at least in the English abstract of this article:

Jensen, Janus Møller. 2019. «Korstog Mod De Hedenske Svenskere. Nye Perspektiver På Kalmarledingen 1123 1124». Collegium Medievale 31 (mars). Oslo, Norge. https://ojs.novus.no/index.php/CM/article/view/1615.

Let me know if you disagree. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 15:03, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What about moving it to Kalmar Crusade, wouldnt that be a more appropriate name? GusGusBrus (talk) 15:44, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I guess that's okay, as the article emphasizes the crusade aspect. However, there are different criteria for what can be called a 'crusade,' and some form of papal encouragement is often expected, so it might not be entirely uncontentious. But I personally have no objection. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 06:19, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Hello gusgusbrus. Per WP:COMMONNAME, shouldn't this articles name be "kalmar expedition"? I haven't seen any sources calling the event "the kalmar crusade". Tinkaer1991 (talk) 19:50, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I cited a source which directly called it such and it doesnt have a consistent commonname, but since it’s called a crusade through various sources and in the article I don’t see why it wouldn’t be fitting? GusGusBrus (talk) 20:53, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where did you cite the source? Also commonnames are what most english sources use. And i found a clear majority using "Kalmar expediiton" Tinkaer1991 (talk) 21:49, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Check the edit before the move edit to check my citation. Also where did you find this “clear majority”? GusGusBrus (talk) 21:52, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
