Untitled[edit]

This page currently reads as if it were machine-translated from the Swedish wikipedia. I'd like to Anglicize it, but I need someone who speaks Swedish to help me a bit. What is "Noddle-Pete"? Could it be a mistranslation for the Swedish name for "Struwwelpeter"? Many thanks, --Woggly 19:02, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Without looking deeper into the text I'd say that Noddle-Pete is an attempt of direct translation of "Skalle-Per". The word "skalle" does literally mean head or cranium, but here it rather refers to "skallig", which means bald. In the book the name is used as the affectionate, but descriptive name of an old hairless man. Per is a common Swedish name, deriving from Petrus, or St. Peter in English. -- Mic 19:26, Apr 16, 2004 (UTC)

I haven't read the English translation, but in the Russian, the old man's name is Skalle-Per, with no attempt at translation. I'm going to be bold and change it to that. platypeanArchcow 17:36, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There are two different complete sets of English translations of the names, from the 1983 and 1985 translations. I'll put them both in with a table, soon (from Edstrom, Vivi, Astrid Lindgren: A Critical Study). Deborah-jl _Talk 08:19, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Story mix-up[edit]

Birk actually saves Ronia from the Underground people (faeries) long before he's captured by Mattis.

Rewrite of original research[edit]

As it stands now, this whole article is original research; it reads like an essay about the book rather than an encyclopedia article about the book. I'll work on a rewrite. Deborah-jl _Talk 08:19, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of original research warning[edit]

I've decided to be bold and remove the WP:NOR infobox, since I don't consider the contents of the article to be original research. Most of the information found in this article can also be found in the book, and I can't think of a better source than that. Although the paragraph about capitalism, environmentalism, etc, could be considered original research, I don't feel that it is bad enough to justify that big ugly warning box at the top of the article. We could either rewrite that paragraph and leave out the analyzis, remove it completely, or leave it as it is. But I do not think that we should throw in the NOR template and expect someone else to fix it for us. /Magore 01:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Page move? Comma in book title.[edit]

As with the film, there is a comma in the book's title, so this article should probably be moved. 86.174.188.81 (talk) 17:28, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, looks like it. The 1984, 1995, and 2010 versions on amazon.co.uk clearly show the comma. I'll be bold. Nfitz (talk) 23:49, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Matt(is)[edit]

An IP editor has "corrected" the English translation of the name "Matt" into "Mattis", and has edit-warred my reversion of this despite explanation and the very clear table showing the correspondences a little further down the article. Clearly this needs to be undone or otherwise explained and made consistent. Chiswick Chap (talk) 22:11, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It should be removed and the editor blocked if they have indeed done it before.★Trekker (talk) 01:21, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll report them if it happens again. Chiswick Chap (talk) 06:46, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
