A fact from Norwegian Sea appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 November 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the word maelstrom was brought into the English language by Edgar Allan Poe describing the Moskenstraumen (illustrated) located at Moskenesøya island in the Norwegian Sea?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/November.

Can someone make a re-direct from Sea of Norway (this is the term used by the European Union site, and how I learned to refer to the Sea)? Thanks. Paploo 12:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --NormanEinstein 17:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ambiguities[edit]

The Greenland Sea is both part of the Arctic Ocean and of the Norwegian Sea, which is part of the Atlantic Ocean. I think there's something that needs to be cleared up in this. __meco 22:14, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, both the Greenland Sea and the Norwegian Sea are part of the Arctic Ocean (see the Arctic Ocean definition). I can't get why these seas are said to be part of the Atlantic ocean.

On the other hand, Encyclopedia Britannica claims them to be part of the North Atlantic... Wizardist (talk) 00:30, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

err, neither Greenland Sea nor Norwegian Sea are part of the Arctic Ocean as defined - all three - by the International Hydrographic Organization. Both have their north borders at the border of the arctic ocean, touching Svalbard and the NE corder of Greenland / NW corner of Norway. This is why they're part of the Atlantic Ocean.--Nomentz (talk) 13:19, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of animation[edit]

An animation was removed from this article by some editor who appears to be on a crusade against using animations. If animations are to be banned from Wikipedia, that would be a huge backward step, just one remove away from banning images altogether. If the editor believes that their preference is the way to go, they should take the issue to the community and have the relevant guidelines changed. --Epipelagic (talk) 18:58, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See edit summaries and Talk:Herring#Removal_of_animations for my rationale - WP:IUP recommends that animated gifs "should be used sparingly; a static image with a link to the animation is preferred unless the animation has a very small file size". (The 1.3MB herring clip is still 900k when thumbnailed.) --McGeddon (talk) 10:52, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Arrangement of Hookarm Squid[edit]

Recommendation to move the picture of the Hookarm Squid from the mammal's section into the fish section. Koolkdm (talk) 18:02, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Squid mentioned under Mammals and Birds[edit]

"Other large animals of the sea are hooded and harp seals and squid.[22]" Squid are neither mammals or birds.(Squid are molluscs) ENSOsurfer (talk) 17:06, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
