[edit] Your image

It occurs to me that we don't have a picture at Soldier, and your image Image:Profoss.jpg would work well there. What do you think? Marnanel 17:31, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Ok, feel free to use it :) Profoss 17:48, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

btw. it's a typical norwegian infantery, armed with a MP-5.

Thanks-- and thanks for clarifying the caption. Marnanel 22:31, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Militant?

From Militant:

Popular usage often sees "militants" as synonymous with terrorists, though perhaps charcterised with a slightly less loaded term.

I suppose you'd like to substitute a less "negative" word, e.g. military in your user page. -- Paddu 21:50, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

[edit] South Georgia

Saw that you added the following (about 1 1/2 year ago): "During World War II (Autumn 1943 - Autumn 1944) the island housed a small (14 people) Norwegian military garrison to protect the island from any possible Japanese invasion"

Could you provide me with a source? Find it kind of hard to believe, considering the distance between the nearest japanese occupied territory, and South Georgia, and I've never heard of this before. Bjelleklang - talk 22:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

The only source i got is the information magazine published in 1995. En litt mer utdypene forklaring på norsk, siden jeg åpenbart ikke behersker engelsken så godt akkurat nå. Disse fjorten ble nok utstasjonert for å varsle om Japanerene hadde gått i land, dette er ikke helt ukjente områder for japanerene heller, siden de faktisk også drev endel hvalfangst i området og det var vel en viss mulighet at japanerene kunne overtatt alt sammen og etablert værstasjon eller ubåtbase der.

[edit] Maritime military history

Just wanted to inform you of the creation of a Maritime warfare task force under the military history project. Inge 17:06, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A request for assistance

Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 02:50 3 January 2007 (UTC).
