"During this period"

There are too many places in this article where it says "During this period". For instance "during this period" it was prohibited to sell land to non-norwegian speakers. When?--Barend 09:05, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried to reduce the number of "this periods". This is what I have done:

Kven migrations: this period -> these two periods (periods are specified above)
Assimilation policy: this period the Sami culture revitalized (I think this is OK)
Assimilation policy: this period Kven people started organizing -> In the 1980s
Assimilation policy: integrated into the Norwegian main stream society during that period -> removed that period (the Kvens have probably always been integrated into the main stream society).

* Assimilation policy: this period the use of the Kven language was forbidden in schools…land purchase: need to be specified

Category for Kvens?

Proposing adding a category to cover all Kven related articles. The name of the category could simply be "Kven". --Drieakko 06:58, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Cannot see any reasons for someone to object against such a category.Labongo 16:57, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
