Photo

For Commons:Category:Geographical centre, it would be nice to have a picture of the Norwegian marker. -- User:Docu

There is a very good picture here ([1]). Perhaps the photographer, who is also the editor of that website, could be contacted about using it on Wikipedia? -- Nidator 14:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"The factual accuracy of this article is disputed."?

This header refers to the talk page, but there is no discussion here. So, I'm wondering what exactly is disputed... ? -- Nidator T / C 15:50, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote it in the editsummary, there are several places that claims to be the center of Norway (due to several diffrent way to control this, this article do just show one of the ways (and thous one of the places). Recomended reading Mvh Røed (talk · no) 16:27, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I still think though that the prime focus of the article should be the point in Ogndalsfjella, as this is the one reached with the method chosen by the Norwegian Mapping and Cadastre Authority ([2]). What if we add a second paragraph about the other places that claim to be the centre of Norway? Do you agree that this is a sensible approach? -- Nidator T / C 16:57, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mission impossible!

First one has to define what is "Norway". According to the Norwegian government Svalbard and Jan Mayen have to be included, which leaves us with a midpoint somewhere in the Norwegian Sea. Should one also include All-Norway (including Queen Maud Land, Bouvet Island and Peter I Island, I would guess the Mid-Point is somewhere around the city of Mongo in Southern Chad ;-) In short: This question is is impossible to solve as Norway is not consisting from one piece of land.
