Appearances in popular culture[edit]

What is up with these sections on every mythological article? YEAH WE KNOW, ANIME REFERENCES MYTHOLOGY. Do we really need to have every mythological article taken over by this crap? In this one it is literally 5 times as long as the actual meat of the article. AND EVERY SINGLE REFERENCE is either an anime or a video game. EVERY LAST ONE.

Something really ought to be done about this.Andy Christ 19:49, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They also tend to attract false entries; I removed one blatantly made-up one right now. I've fact-tagged the rest; if reputable citations aren't provided for each, we can go ahead and remove them. --Aquillion (talk) 15:24, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Gram" anger?[edit]

Could the sword's name refer to anger, as the Norse adjective "gramir" means angry? 惑乱分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * 12:29, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

gram means "wrath" in Dutch, though a bit old fashioned. 88.159.71.34 (talk) 19:25, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Branstock.jpg[edit]

Image:Branstock.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Gramr not Gram[edit]

It is called Gramr. Look it up. Here! --213.213.135.228 (talk) 20:31, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please Help Make This More Understandable[edit]

I just wanted to say this article needs alot of work with the wording. Is it Siegfried or Sigurd or both? Is the Gram also known as Balmung and Nothung or are they three different things? Somebody please help to re-word this article so that people who aren't familiar with the mythology, the people who would actually be reading this article for educational purposes, can better understand.

Can we make a suggestion to redirect to Gram of Denmark please? Thank you!

Gramr =/= Wrath in Old Norse[edit]

According to York University, Gramr=King, not wrath. Source: http://www.yorku.ca/inpar/language/English-Old_Norse.pdf
