The article uses a mixture of spellings, probably reflecting the differing spelling in the Nordic languages. Which is the one normally used in English? I wouldn't want to assume that the skiing events' spelling of -er is necessarily the right one. --JBellis 19:00, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Birkebeiner is Norwegian bokmål and Birkebeinar is Norwegian nynorsk. What is most common in English? Good question. I've seen birchlegs and birchshanks as well.--Barend 14:41, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"...of carrying a heavy backpack weighing 3.5 kg" My school backpack weighs 10kg, so saying 3.5kg is heavy seems to be slightly exaggerated to me. --Ult 3/31/2007

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

Hello, Not sure of the process but can you please add the Canadian Birkebeiner Society website as a link in this page? Under the Birkebeiner Run heading: ...sister cross country skiing events... in Edmonton (Canada) (The Canadian Birkebeiner) with the link of: www.canadianbirkie.com 75.155.20.106 (talk) 19:46, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. It seems like there is already a link to that website, because it has been cited as a reference (#8). Therefore, it doesn't seem necessary to add another link in the body paragraph. Altamel (talk) 17:02, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for some editor(s) who know(s) far more about these topics than I do: All three articles need work and overlap each other extensively. While cleaning them up, merge into it the two articles Birkebeiner and Bagler, cleaning up the lacks of citations and resolving any contradictions between the three articles. (E.g., were or were not the Baglers peasants?) Then, delete the Birkebeiner and Bagler articles. Acwilson9 (talk) Acwilson9 (talk) 04:53, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
