Actually, "Folkeopplysningsprisen" is in the definite form, so there probably shouldn't be any articles (same goes for "Voksenopplæringsforbundet"). Lampman (talk) 06:23, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Such issues are typically ignored when using a foreign term in English. We say "the La Brea Tar Pits". Ntsimp (talk) 15:51, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. The article in that case refers to the tar pits; you wouldn't say "the La Brea", or "the La bohème", or the la- anything. This doesn't seem proper English to me. Lampman (talk) 07:59, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, since the organization has an official English name, Norwegian Association for Adult Learning, this should be used. Geschichte (talk) 18:44, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
