Move?
Any reason we shouldn't shorten the title to British occupation of the Faroe Islands? Haukur (talk) 12:09, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- It looks like the reasoning is similar to whoever it was that had the idea to move Occupation of Denmark to Occupation of Denmark by Nazi Germany, completely ignoring of course that Denmark has only been occupied in its entirety by a foreign force one single time in its history. Both the Danish and Faroese experiences are conventionally referred to by short names. Long and cumbersome names provide no additional information since no disambiguation is possible, they only make the article names more difficult to type. Please move. 83.89.43.14 (talk) 12:31, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Only reason I can see is that there are a lot of links to fix if we do that. Still, if you're prepared to do that I can make the move for you. -- Derek Ross | Talk 22:16, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: page moved. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:26, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
British occupation of the Faroe Islands in World War II → British occupation of the Faroe Islands — Per the above comments. The part of the title that reads in World War II is redundant, as the Faroe Islands have only once been occupied by Britain. 84.92.117.93 (talk) 21:08, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- Support seems fine. —innotata 16:02, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- Alternative proposal: Faroe Islands in World War II would be a better, more descriptive, name. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 16:50, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- Comment I'm not that suggestion is more descriptive, since this article only discusses the British occupation, not other aspects of the Faroes during WW2. Most other comparable articles I can see use "occupation" in their title, such as Occupation of Denmark, Occupation of Japan, Occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany, Occupation of the Channel Islands and so on. 84.92.117.93 (talk) 17:18, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Liberation Day
What date is classed as Liberation Day, I heard a historian from the Faroes say they celebrate that date rather than the more usual 1945 date for the end of WWII. He also said that the Royal Navy wanted Faroese vessels to be clearly identified after the occupation. The Danes opposed the use of the Faroes flag on the local Faroese vessels, eventually the local RN commander just told them to paint the Faroes flag on the side which made him very popular on the islands. jmb (talk)
