Vildanden

Hei! Welcome to Wikipedia. And welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject Norway; we can use all the help we can get.

Just made a very minor edit to the excellent article you contributed, Vildanden (airline). Overall an extremely nice bit of work (and especially exceptional for a new contributor). The last sentence of Vildanden puzzles me though; could you perhaps confirm it is correct as written?

Tusen takk - Williamborg 13:39, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks. What I meant anyway is that the aircraft has www.vildanden.no on the side and the duck logo on the tailplane. Fixed up the sentence a litte. Hope its ok now, if not, be bold. Otherwise I will be trying to go through all the norwegian airport and airline articles and upgrading them, and the odd local bit on Trøndersk stuff Arsenikk 23:07, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Your current edit reads very well now! Appreciate your taking the time to make it clear. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Williamborg 01:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
  • Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
  • Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, or periods.
  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 15:03, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Alcoa logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Alcoa logo.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Trøndelag

Nice to see another Norwegian join the Wikipedia. Good to have someone who understands Norwegian topics well.

I modified your Trøndelag edit, citing what I thought the relevant Wikipolicy (see discussion page for Trøndelag). If you've got an alternate policy to cite, let's talk; we need to get it straightened out (i.e., get the policy requirements consistent). Skål - Williamborg (Bill) 04:10, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

DYK

Updated DYK query On 14 September 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Coop NKL, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Congratulations! Keep up the good work! --Srikeit (Talk | Email) 08:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Iran Air destinations

Hi. I see you recently created Iran Air destinations. Did you know there was also Iran Air Destinations? (I think your spelling is better.) Do you have a view what is best to do about this? (I won't be editing either - I just noticed Qeshm was linked to by both, and thought that odd.) 195.128.251.215 09:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Flags in airline articles

I noticed you've been adding the infobox to a bunch of airlines. There are quite a few to do, so any contributions in that area are great. However, there have been a couple discussions on putting flags next to city names and the decision was to leave them out, so please just put the city (and country) name in the infobox, but not the flags. Thanks. DB (talk) 00:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Citations for Rapid transit

Hi there. First of all, thank you for improving the article. It's in much better shape. I was going over some of the citaions you've provided, and I'm concerned about their credibility. Wikipedia can only use sources as described by WP:RS. Sites like UrbanRail.net should generally be avoided because they're self published. Thanks! -- Selmo (talk) 22:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

BTW, if you're interested, feel free to join WikiProject Rapid transit.
Updated DYK query On December 7, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article History of Rapid transit, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thankyou Arsenikk for helping to give transportation content representation on DYK! Happy editing, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:03, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Verran Sparebank

Hei, fin artikkel om Verran Sparebank, men jeg måtte skrive den om pga av fusjon med Grong Sparebank. Tar du den også? De har jo blitt en interessant regional faktor i Nord-Trøndelag.

Hello, I've enjoyed your article on Verran Sparebank, but had to rewrite it as they've merged with Grong Sparebank, whom You also might want to write about!? --Orland 16:51, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Airport Helgeland

Hi Arsenikk! You may be interested in this AFD debate, and wonder if you have anything to add about it. From what I can see, the justification for the article is dubious, but there may of course be supporting sources which I have failed to find and which would justify a Wikipedia article. I have seen that you frequently have better sources than I do on transportation issues so any contribution to that discussion would be welcome. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Flytoget logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Flytoget logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:SpareBank_1_logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:SpareBank_1_logo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 04:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Gardermoen_Aerial_View.jpeg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Gardermoen_Aerial_View.jpeg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 21:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Midtnorsk Helikopter

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Midtnorsk Helikopter, by Russavia (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Midtnorsk Helikopter seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Midtnorsk Helikopter, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 21:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Midtnorsk Helikopter and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Norwegian hospitals

It's a fine box you have made for Norw. hospitals! Som proposals: State-Run agencies could be Government agencies, to make clear that these are not enterprises like the HF. Eastern and Southern was fusioned by June 1 this year into South-East. Norw. Board og Health ... is now named Norwegian Board of Health Supervision.

Notability of ErgoGroup

A tag has been placed on ErgoGroup requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb 18:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Nor-Cargo

A tag has been placed on Nor-Cargo, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb 22:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that

As you probably know already, the new page patrol is entirely voluntary and I decided to give it a shot. I have nominated, I believe, about 30 articles today for speedy deletion, and all but three of them have been deleted - two of those being kept were yours, the third one had been substantially modified by the time the tag was removed. In many other articles I have added the {{clean}}, {{unsourced}}, and/or {{wiki}} tags which are not requests for administrator intervention, but rather an invitation for article improvement. Sometimes, in this kind of work, we are to exert judgment - and sometimes judgment fails.

I once had one of my own articles marked for speedy deletion, only to see the request declined. All I can tell you is, that sort of things happens. That it happened to the same person twice on the same day is... well... not particularly enjoyable for that person. But I am happy, under the circumstances, after reviewing what I was asking for, that my request was declined. --Blanchardb 22:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Institute for Research in Economics and Business Administration

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Institute for Research in Economics and Business Administration, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of the page.

Norway coverage

Hi, it's time to appreciate your focus on Norway-related articles, particularly the many companies, agencies, organizations etc. It helps readers understand Norway better. It is a real shame that you have to put up with the widespread speedying, prodding and afd'ing of your articles. If you like, feel free to let me know in case of an AFD etc.

As you might have noticed I like to create articles on Norwegian things as well, but I mostly concentrate on various biographies and sports. After seeing your last creation (Terra) I started to think about other similar topics we need, i.e. Finance Credit, Carl Fredrik Seim, The 5 Percent Community. I don't really like to "pile" tasks on other editors, but you do these things well, so... If you have no objections I might bring some future requests to your attention. Feel free to do the same the other way around. Punkmorten (talk) 13:16, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but...

Hi... this time I'm very sorry to nag on you like everyone else, but I really don't reckon Norwegian mayors are notable (and worthy of inclusion) unless they did something special. I think I will actually AFD Ole Tronstad. WP:AFDP says "Municipal politicians: Municipal politicians are not inherently notable just for being in politics, but neither are they inherently non-notable just because they're in local politics — evaluate each case on its own individual merits. Mayors of major cities have usually survived AFD, although the article should say more than just "Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville". Mayors of smaller towns, however, are generally deemed not notable just for being mayors, although they may be notable for other reasons in addition to their mayoralty". I unfortunately believe Tronstad fails. The similar case could be made for the mayors of Hemnes, Hattfjelldal etc although they are more borderline. Punkmorten 23:35, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Concerning Ole Tronstad I would claim that he is on the right side of the border because of his length of term and involvement in other aspects of politics, but I have understanding if you disagree. Concerning the mayors of Hemnes and Hattfjelldal though, their notability is not related to their position as Mayor of their respective hamlets par cet, but for being involved in the Terra Securities scandal. Because of the massive, excessive and prolonged intensity of this case in the media, the four "Nordland-mayors" have all became notable through this case. Per this mid-week there were more than 7,000 media articles related to the case published, and a significant number of them refer to these mayors. Arsenikk 18:38, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Which other aspects? But yeah I will probably leave the "Terra mayors" alone. Hope this won't be a big setback for your productivity here :) Punkmorten 21:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Meråkerbanen/Nordlandbanen

Hej!

Jag har ändrat lite på några artiklar som du skrivit ang. Meråkerbanen och Nordlansbanen. Eftersom du skriver i många järnbaneartiklar vill bara göra dig uppmärksam på att Nordlandsbanen går mellan Hell och Bodö (ej Trondheim - Hell) och Meråkerbanen går mellan Trondheim och Storlien (inkl Trondheim - Hell). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.255.67.152 (talk) 20:26, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I utgangspunktet ville jeg vært enig med deg, men ifølge denne linken [1] fra Jernbaneverket går banen fra Hell til Storlien, og ikke fra Trondheim. Jeg prøver egentlig å unngå å skrive spesifikt om dette, men vil forholde meg til denne referansen med mindre jeg kommer over en annen en som motbeviser det (følgelig fra Jernbaneverket).

Vitusapotek: inclusion of legal status "AS"

Hi there. I see you've removed my addition of "AS" from the opening line for the Vitusapotek article; the article title "Vitusapotek" is correct, and should not change, but I always understood that the full name (of "Vitusapotek AS" in this case) should be included in the title sentence in bold (see Wikipedia:NC-CORP, 4th paragraph). The rest of the article then reverts to the common name, Vitusapotek. Examples are Royal Bank of Scotland and Wal-Mart.

What do you think? Carbonix (talk) 17:20, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I agree with you on your interpretation of the rules. The reason I did this was that as I see it that while the article Norsk Medisinaldepot is about the company, the article Vitusapotek is about the chain, and not about the company. And since 2007 Norsk Medisinaldept, NMD Grossisthandel and Vitusapotek have been merged into one legal entity. As such I have also added 'AS' to Norsk Medisinaldepot's heading, but removed it from Vitusapotek. Arsenikk (talk) 17:31, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Right. I can see what you mean and eventually found the 'merging' you refer to; I was relying too heavily on the company's website and even their contact address, which still use AS! Carbonix (talk) 18:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Kristin Halvorsen

Kristins løftebrudd er relevant for artikkelen, akkurat som Watergate skulle være relevant for Richard Nixon. Nastykermit (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 09:54, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

There are a number of critical errors to the comment added about Halvorsen. First, the election was in 2005, not in 2006. Second, there are used a number of wiesel words that should be avoided in Wikipedia. But the most critical part, and the reason for me reverting your edit was that the last sentence, "and this is today seen as one of the biggest lies and broken promises made a Norwegian politician." cannot under any way be seed as encyclopedic. The problem lays in that the claim cannot be verifiable for the population as a whole. And even if some people feel this way, it would be incorrect to generalize about the topic as such. Further, you should be careful (even if it is difficult sometimes) when writing about living people, even if they are politicians. This whole claim should be verified through independent third-party sources. Don't be surprised if it is removed if this claim cannot be verified. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia; remember to be bold. Arsenikk (talk) 22:04, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

You cant have one without the other. Halvorsen failed to honor her promise and its vital for an objective WIKI biography thayt we mention all sides. Lets try to keep party politics outside this. Nastykermit (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 19:59, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello,

Can you please provide me with the reference to the birth date of Farzam Arbab? I have changed it to the date found here: [2] for now.

Regards, T0lk (talk) 05:18, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

My source was http://bahaikipedia.org/Farzam_Arbab which agrees with your date. So this has probably been a transcription error from my side. Arsenikk (talk) 10:00, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Little context in Category:Oil fields by operator

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Oil fields by operator, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Oil fields by operator is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Oil fields by operator, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Student Union of the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Student Union of the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Norwegian Police University College logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Norwegian Police University College logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:31, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

The following images also have this problem:

Hi! I took a stab at creating business bios Wenche Kjølås and Annette Malm Justad. I hope they are satisfactory. The business world is important and your contributions have been most valuable. We need Jens Ulltveit-Moe. Happy 17 May! Punkmorten (talk) 19:45, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

By the way: A group of editors spearheaded by Knut Olav Åmås will release a Who's Who book in late 2008 or early 2009, with profiles of 1000 influential Norwegians. Rather exciting. Our coverage of politics is approaching a fair level of broadness now, but we need to develop the fields of academia, the legal system, bureaucracy, (interest) organizations (including LO, NHO), industry and business, religious life..

Stub type process

You're right in that there's a number of different things going on in different cases. Some types are approved "speedily", and some (at least in theory) take five days. Add to which, some are only proposed as upmerged templates, and some already exist as such. In the case of your proposal, I assumed you were already aware of (some of) the distinction(s), given your "based on S2" comment -- which is indeed, I think, a sufficient condition for speedy creation, if there is indeed at least 60 such stubs at present, hence my support. (If there's not, I'd instead suggest creation of an upmerged template.) Hope that helps somewhat. Alai (talk) 16:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
