Hi Eisfbnore, I just nominated VHEMT at FAC. I think we've gotten the grammar in good shape, but I'd love if you could take a look at it when you have time. Thanks, Mark Arsten ( talk) 18:11, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Eisfbnore - many thanks for your review of Spanish conquest of Guatemala. The process is drawing on with only one reviewer committing themselves so far, so I would appreciate it if you could return to the review page. User:Malleus Fatuorum has pointed out to me that many reviewers will be discouraged by the length of the article... Best regards, Simon Burchell ( talk) 08:37, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
I really hope you won't try to remove the Empire of Brazil task force from it's related articles' talk page again. -- Lecen ( talk) 21:05, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
I shall certainly review the article for GA if someone else doesn't get in first. Give me a couple of days, please, as I am a bit tied up just at the moment. Regards. Tim riley ( talk) 19:56, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Hacker (computer security), is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 15:51, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks for your detailed FA review of Spanish conquest of Guatemala, correcting all my grammatical howlers and for coming back to support the article. Much appreciated, Simon Burchell ( talk) 15:53, 17 March 2012 (UTC) |
Hi Eisfbnore, I was wondering if you could take a look at Elias Abraham Rosenberg and possibly weigh in at a peer review that I have open? It's only 1500 words or so, should be a quick read. I'm just about ready to nominate it at FAC and I wanted to get another look at the prose. No problem if you're busy though, Mark Arsten ( talk) 17:41, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your review at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Georg Solti/archive1. I hope shortly to have Pierre Monteux at FAC (perhaps a week or so hence) at which stage I'd welcome your review of that article if you had time and inclination. Tim riley ( talk) 22:11, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I have started to translate the article about Moss Jernverk, any help in correcting my mistakes would be much welcome, both regarding proofreading and formatting. Best regards, Ulflarsen ( talk) 15:28, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
The new additions look good; just tell me when you consider yourself finished and I'll dip my toe into it. Thanks, btw, for the interesting article; I wish that there would be more Norwegian editors writing on the Anglophone Wikipedia. Eisfbnore (下さいて話し) 18:17, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

I laughed aloud at your subtle addition to the William Walton talk page. It is remarkable how some people think they have a monopoly of wisdom in the face of a consensus to the contrary. I have just run across another at Talk:Piano music of Gabriel Fauré: all the peer reviewers and FAC scrutineers must have been completely wrong. Heigh ho!
I am working (in my sandbox at the moment) on the main Gabriel Fauré article, with a view to getting it to FA standard. At the appropriate stage might you be willing to do a source review? A tedious and time-consuming task, I know, but I'd be grateful if you had time and inclination. Tim riley ( talk) 14:43, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
Having read the article I wonder if I might suggest that you allow me to copy edit it in advance of a GA review by someone else? It is a superb piece of work considering that you wrote it in a language not your own, but there are numerous turns of phrase that look strange to the native speaker, and momentarily distract one from the narrative. Once these are ironed out I think it should be fine at GAN. Tim riley ( talk) 10:18, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
I have reverted your reversion to this article because, to quote an earlier comment here, there are numerous turns of phrase that look strange to the native speaker. Ehrenkater ( talk) 23:06, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I changed the examples you pointed out in the Bulgaria nomination, along with some other sentences with similar problems you didn't point out. I hope it's an improvement. I'll do my best to make it a smoother read, especially the Geography and Demographic sections, but my time for Wiki is sort of limited. - ☣ Tourbillon A ? 10:33, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Eisfbnore, I've replied to your comments at the nomination. They've all been addressed. Thank you for the review! Crisco 1492 ( talk) 12:07, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi there, Eisfbnore. You recently reviewed my FAC nomination of Augustinian theodicy here. I have addressed the issues you raised - I wondered if you could have another look and give any further feedback you had? Thanks. ItsZippy ( talk • contributions) 15:12, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Eisfbnore, I seem to recall that you mentioned it was a bad idea to start a sentence with "Due to..." a month or two back, am I remembering correctly? Mark Arsten ( talk) 19:53, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
You were kind enough to say that you would do a source review for one of my future FACs. I now have Fauré up for FAC ( Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Gabriel Fauré/archive1), and I'll be most grateful if you have time to do a source review for it. Tim riley ( talk) 13:23, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
for a special review | |
Hi Eisfbnore, thanks a lot for the prose review at the recent (successful) FAC for 1740 Batavia massacre; I'm especially glad you fixed up my (admittedly terrible) translations of the Dutch titles. In thanks, I'm giving you a collectible kris. The blade is iron with gold leaf and it has a twin naga design. Hopefully you don't have one yet! Crisco 1492 ( talk) 14:07, 6 May 2012 (UTC) |
What's with the horizontal bars over vowels? We didn't have them when I did Latin at school, though that was nearly fifty years ago. If you move on to ancient Greek I don't think we did accents there, though we did rough and smooth breathings. Your willingness to master languages fills me with admiration. Tim riley ( talk) 20:21, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Dear me! You sweep me back through the decades to Latin lessons:
Malo – I would rather be
Malo – In an apple tree
Malo – Than a naughty boy
Malo – In adversity
Used by
Benjamin Britten in
The Turn of the Screw (1954), so perhaps my Latin beaks got it from Britten rather than Ovid or Horace.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. __ meco ( talk) 13:37, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Gunnar Sønsteby. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. You need to offer more than "because I said so" regarding the removal of cited content that doesn't appear in the least undue. Calton | Talk 14:24, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
If you take a look at the history of WT:NORWAY, you'll perhaps see why there is good reason to remove the trolling from the Sju hav socks. They have been spamming said talk page with their agenda against the Norwegian government. Take a look at this. With the help of meco, [1] [2] [3] they have been turning WT:NORWAY into a soapbox of grievances against the Norwegian government.
Rather than shooting the messenger – which you are currently doing – you should be more worried about the integrity of Wikipedia. Methinks you are a very poor Wikipedia editor, if you think it is more important to let trolls junk vital BLPs than to promote the NPOV ideal of Wikipedia.
Also, having had a look at your block log, I don't think you are the right person to ululate about personal attacks. Eisfbnore (下さいて話し) 08:37, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I have started on another project, the Swedish language version of Wikipedia has an extensive article about Kvarstadbåtene, which covers a very interesting section of war-time history of both Sweden, Norway and the UK. I wrote the original article about the ships in the Norwegian language version of Wikipedia, but as the current Swedish is much better I have started to translate it all into Norwegian.
It should however also be translated into the English language version of Wikipedia, is that something that could be of interest for you? If not, if I do the translation, could I at least count on you to proofread it? BR - Ulflarsen ( talk) 09:17, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Early life: rem ungrammatical comma - the adjective "cramped" is attributed to the noun phrase "living conditions"; hence, "living" is not an adjective but an attributive noun.
Yes, you are correct. I shall blame my error on having just returned from a two weeks holiday, and the lateness of the hour.
My father, who was a commissioned officer in the British Army, was in Norway for the latter part of World War II, and always spoke fondly of your country.

Hi Eisfbnore, I currently have Marshall Applewhite up for peer review. I'd love it if you could take a look. It's a bit long, but any comments are welcome. This has been a pretty fun project thus far, I find the subject very interesting. Thanks! Mark Arsten ( talk) 18:12, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Eisfbnore, I wonder if I could ask for your comment on a debate about an infobox that is taking place at Talk:Peter Sellers#RfC: Is infobox recommended for this bio? There seems to be a feeling among some of the article's editors that the full life of a rather complicated individual can be condensed into a few short lines in a box. Could I please impose and ask for your view? If you have the time it would be much appreciated; it's not a problem if not. Many thanks – SchroCat ( ^ • @) 22:41, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
On 30 July 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Paul Steenstrup Koht, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Norwegian politician Paul Steenstrup Koht threatened to withdraw the Skien Labour Party from the central party, should the latter exclude universal suffrage from its party programme? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Paul Steenstrup Koht. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

As a user of the secure server, I ask you to stop breaking diff hyperlinks that are correctly fixed so that they do not take me and others like me to an insecure place. You are over-policing the idea of talk page comments being sacrosanct to an absurd and quite wrong degree. Wikignomes fix diff and oldid links, external links that should have been internal links, and absolute hyperlinks that should be relative and protocol-preserving hyperlinks, all of the time. Such things are not sacrosanct, and do not change meaning one whit. This is a wiki, and refactoring talk pages to fix markup and hyperlinks is the norm on wikis and has been all of these years.

Hei, mitt navn er Astrid, jeg jobber for Oslo Byes Vel. Jeg ser at du har opprettet en side på Facebook som heter Selskabet for Oslo Byes Vel og er tilknyttet Wikipedia, din artikkel. VI setter pris på at det ligger informasjon om Oslo Byes Vel på Wikipedia og vi ønsker også å være på Facebook, men vi har opprettet en ny egen side som er aktiv og som er nyttig for oss og våre medlemmer. Det faktum at din side også ligger der er forvirrende og gjør at de som ønsker å finne organisasjonens faktiske side blir forvillet.
Kan du være så snill å fjerne siden du har opprettet slik at det ligger kun èn side for Oslo Byes Vel? Det hadde vi satt uendelig stor pris på.
Du kan kontakte meg på astrid@oslobyesvel.no.

The article Bruno Spoerri has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Too few sources are available for an article of substance.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

I'm absolutely thrilled that you took the time and trouble to restore my work on the article about Yasujiro Ozu's masterpiece Late Spring. As you can see, in my original version, I included at least one source for practically every single statement I made in the piece, including facts that were not in dispute, so I had no idea why the other editor eviscerated the article on the grounds that it was "original research"!!!
At the time, I was not up to fighting with the editor who took a meat cleaver to it, feeling that he would only reverse my changes if I tried. I am so glad that you, as a third party, took my side! I'm particularly glad that you restored the following: a) the brief background on Kogo Noda and Setsuko Hara, whose contributions as writer and actress, respectively, were absolutely crucial to the film; b) the background information on the shomingeki genre, which is crucial to understanding the tradition in which the film is situated, and c) the passage on style, particularly the section about the vase scene, which is one of the most hotly debated (and mysterious) passages in all Japanese cinema.
Thank you again for bringing my article back from the dead!

Please don't misuse WP:NONAZIS — that constitutes an egregious personal attack subject to immediate sanctions whose severity cannot be understated.

Request reason:
I have been banned by a sysop who has a dog in this fight and has paid tribute to dictators (Lenin) and war criminals (Che Guevara) on their userpage. Such an editor shouldn't have been an admin in the first place, since they frequently do blocks on request from fellow partisans. (see most recently User_talk:El_C#"Tankies"). They are also involved in some olympic-level gaslighting by asserting that I "cast aspertions" when all I have done is point to the stuff they themselves have put on their userpage. They have also yet to defend the BLP breach by Caradhras. Farcical, indeed. Eisfbnore (会話) 19:03, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

I laughed aloud at your subtle addition to the William Walton talk page. It is remarkable how some people think they have a monopoly of wisdom in the face of a consensus to the contrary. I have just run across another at Talk:Piano music of Gabriel Fauré: all the peer reviewers and FAC scrutineers must have been completely wrong. Heigh ho!
I am working (in my sandbox at the moment) on the main Gabriel Fauré article, with a view to getting it to FA standard. At the appropriate stage might you be willing to do a source review? A tedious and time-consuming task, I know, but I'd be grateful if you had time and inclination. Tim riley ( talk) 14:43, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
Having read the article I wonder if I might suggest that you allow me to copy edit it in advance of a GA review by someone else? It is a superb piece of work considering that you wrote it in a language not your own, but there are numerous turns of phrase that look strange to the native speaker, and momentarily distract one from the narrative. Once these are ironed out I think it should be fine at GAN. Tim riley ( talk) 10:18, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I changed the examples you pointed out in the Bulgaria nomination, along with some other sentences with similar problems you didn't point out. I hope it's an improvement. I'll do my best to make it a smoother read, especially the Geography and Demographic sections, but my time for Wiki is sort of limited. - ☣ Tourbillon A ? 10:33, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi there, Eisfbnore. You recently reviewed my FAC nomination of Augustinian theodicy here. I have addressed the issues you raised - I wondered if you could have another look and give any further feedback you had? Thanks. ItsZippy ( talk • contributions) 15:12, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Eisfbnore, I seem to recall that you mentioned it was a bad idea to start a sentence with "Due to..." a month or two back, am I remembering correctly? Mark Arsten ( talk) 19:53, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
You were kind enough to say that you would do a source review for one of my future FACs. I now have Fauré up for FAC ( Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Gabriel Fauré/archive1), and I'll be most grateful if you have time to do a source review for it. Tim riley ( talk) 13:23, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
for a special review | |
Hi Eisfbnore, thanks a lot for the prose review at the recent (successful) FAC for 1740 Batavia massacre; I'm especially glad you fixed up my (admittedly terrible) translations of the Dutch titles. In thanks, I'm giving you a collectible kris. The blade is iron with gold leaf and it has a twin naga design. Hopefully you don't have one yet! Crisco 1492 ( talk) 14:07, 6 May 2012 (UTC) |
What's with the horizontal bars over vowels? We didn't have them when I did Latin at school, though that was nearly fifty years ago. If you move on to ancient Greek I don't think we did accents there, though we did rough and smooth breathings. Your willingness to master languages fills me with admiration. Tim riley ( talk) 20:21, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Dear me! You sweep me back through the decades to Latin lessons:
Malo – I would rather be
Malo – In an apple tree
Malo – Than a naughty boy
Malo – In adversity
Used by
Benjamin Britten in
The Turn of the Screw (1954), so perhaps my Latin beaks got it from Britten rather than Ovid or Horace.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Gunnar Sønsteby. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. You need to offer more than "because I said so" regarding the removal of cited content that doesn't appear in the least undue. Calton | Talk 14:24, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
If you take a look at the history of WT:NORWAY, you'll perhaps see why there is good reason to remove the trolling from the Sju hav socks. They have been spamming said talk page with their agenda against the Norwegian government. Take a look at this. With the help of meco, [1] [2] [3] they have been turning WT:NORWAY into a soapbox of grievances against the Norwegian government.
Rather than shooting the messenger – which you are currently doing – you should be more worried about the integrity of Wikipedia. Methinks you are a very poor Wikipedia editor, if you think it is more important to let trolls junk vital BLPs than to promote the NPOV ideal of Wikipedia.
Also, having had a look at your block log, I don't think you are the right person to ululate about personal attacks. Eisfbnore (下さいて話し) 08:37, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I have started on another project, the Swedish language version of Wikipedia has an extensive article about Kvarstadbåtene, which covers a very interesting section of war-time history of both Sweden, Norway and the UK. I wrote the original article about the ships in the Norwegian language version of Wikipedia, but as the current Swedish is much better I have started to translate it all into Norwegian.
It should however also be translated into the English language version of Wikipedia, is that something that could be of interest for you? If not, if I do the translation, could I at least count on you to proofread it? BR - Ulflarsen ( talk) 09:17, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Early life: rem ungrammatical comma - the adjective "cramped" is attributed to the noun phrase "living conditions"; hence, "living" is not an adjective but an attributive noun.
Yes, you are correct. I shall blame my error on having just returned from a two weeks holiday, and the lateness of the hour.
My father, who was a commissioned officer in the British Army, was in Norway for the latter part of World War II, and always spoke fondly of your country.

Hi Eisfbnore, I wonder if I could ask for your comment on a debate about an infobox that is taking place at Talk:Peter Sellers#RfC: Is infobox recommended for this bio? There seems to be a feeling among some of the article's editors that the full life of a rather complicated individual can be condensed into a few short lines in a box. Could I please impose and ask for your view? If you have the time it would be much appreciated; it's not a problem if not. Many thanks – SchroCat ( ^ • @) 22:41, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
On 30 July 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Paul Steenstrup Koht, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Norwegian politician Paul Steenstrup Koht threatened to withdraw the Skien Labour Party from the central party, should the latter exclude universal suffrage from its party programme? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Paul Steenstrup Koht. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

As a user of the secure server, I ask you to stop breaking diff hyperlinks that are correctly fixed so that they do not take me and others like me to an insecure place. You are over-policing the idea of talk page comments being sacrosanct to an absurd and quite wrong degree. Wikignomes fix diff and oldid links, external links that should have been internal links, and absolute hyperlinks that should be relative and protocol-preserving hyperlinks, all of the time. Such things are not sacrosanct, and do not change meaning one whit. This is a wiki, and refactoring talk pages to fix markup and hyperlinks is the norm on wikis and has been all of these years.

Hei, mitt navn er Astrid, jeg jobber for Oslo Byes Vel. Jeg ser at du har opprettet en side på Facebook som heter Selskabet for Oslo Byes Vel og er tilknyttet Wikipedia, din artikkel. VI setter pris på at det ligger informasjon om Oslo Byes Vel på Wikipedia og vi ønsker også å være på Facebook, men vi har opprettet en ny egen side som er aktiv og som er nyttig for oss og våre medlemmer. Det faktum at din side også ligger der er forvirrende og gjør at de som ønsker å finne organisasjonens faktiske side blir forvillet.
Kan du være så snill å fjerne siden du har opprettet slik at det ligger kun èn side for Oslo Byes Vel? Det hadde vi satt uendelig stor pris på.
Du kan kontakte meg på astrid@oslobyesvel.no.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your

I'm absolutely thrilled that you took the time and trouble to restore my work on the article about Yasujiro Ozu's masterpiece Late Spring. As you can see, in my original version, I included at least one source for practically every single statement I made in the piece, including facts that were not in dispute, so I had no idea why the other editor eviscerated the article on the grounds that it was "original research"!!!
At the time, I was not up to fighting with the editor who took a meat cleaver to it, feeling that he would only reverse my changes if I tried. I am so glad that you, as a third party, took my side! I'm particularly glad that you restored the following: a) the brief background on Kogo Noda and Setsuko Hara, whose contributions as writer and actress, respectively, were absolutely crucial to the film; b) the background information on the shomingeki genre, which is crucial to understanding the tradition in which the film is situated, and c) the passage on style, particularly the section about the vase scene, which is one of the most hotly debated (and mysterious) passages in all Japanese cinema.
Thank you again for bringing my article back from the dead!

Please don't misuse WP:NONAZIS — that constitutes an egregious personal attack subject to immediate sanctions whose severity cannot be understated.

Request reason:
I have been banned by a sysop who has a dog in this fight and has paid tribute to dictators (Lenin) and war criminals (Che Guevara) on their userpage. Such an editor shouldn't have been an admin in the first place, since they frequently do blocks on request from fellow partisans. (see most recently User_talk:El_C#"Tankies"). They are also involved in some olympic-level gaslighting by asserting that I "cast aspertions" when all I have done is point to the stuff they themselves have put on their userpage. They have also yet to defend the BLP breach by Caradhras. Farcical, indeed. Eisfbnore (会話) 19:03, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
