The 12 god were having dinner in Asgard not Valhalla. ~2026-13325-92 (talk) 06:26, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
Not done; it's not clear what changes you want to make (and if it's what I think it is, what you're disputing has a source, while you do not). –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 06:35, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
Questionable connection
editI'm not sure about the first paragraph under "origins." For one, the text appears to be copy-pasted from the nat geo article with very few changes and (if I'm wrong about the stuff below) ought to be re-written. For two, I don't think the anecdote belongs in this article at all unless a source can be found that demonstrates negative associations with the number 13 referencing the death of Baldr elsewhere in Norse numerology; it's not in either of the two cited sources, I can't find one in any of my books, and in any case I don't recall the death of Baldr having anything to do with a particular day of the week one way or another. I think this is just a picked-at-random example of a deleterious event that just happened to involve 13 people and I'm not sure it adds anything to the article.

Typos
editIn the topic of distribution, "More information Years during which a Friday the 13thoccurs in the month to the right (current and subsequent year are marked in bold), Month withits 13th ona Friday ..." There are just several straight up typos here and unless im missing something, I'd advise someone with more power than me to fix them. ~2026-27885-24 (talk) 15:35, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
