Hi! First of all let me say that I've been admiring the work you've been doing with the Copenhagen Metro in Norwegian:)
I've speedy-deleted {{ Sub-article}} as recreation of deleted material after consensus at a discussion. See Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2006 November 12, where there was a clear consensus. If you want to take the matter up for community discussion again, you can do so at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Thank you for you understanding, and happy editing.

The article
Bergen Tramway you nominated as a
good article has been placed on hold
. The article is close to meeting the
good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See
Talk:Bergen Tramway for things which need to be addressed.

Thank you for uploading File:Vestby Station2.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. MilborneOne ( talk) 21:04, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
I just though of something that should be included in all the metro station articles: this report (page 33) gives the ridership figures for each station a few years ago, and should be included. If you don't feel like counting stations, the numbers are listed at List of Oslo Metro stations. Arsenikk (talk) 12:34, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
In this edit you removed Category:1934 establishments in Norway from the article. Was this intentional? __ meco ( talk) 19:20, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Out of curiosity, were the recent edits you made to WA 903 necessary? When you use the adj=on or abbr=on function of {{ convert}} kilometre isn't spelled out, so adding sp=US is not needed. Also, am I missing something in the MOS that says 222–223 is worse than 222–3? And quotes around one word reference tags? HTML coding suggests you add quotes to all things like the ref name tag. -- Admrboltz ( talk) 20:38, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your comment on the Henry J. Wood peer review page. I know nothing of the templates you mention, and clicking on the links doesn't get me much further.

Thank you for assessing Taxation in Norway. I would like to improve the article to reach, hopefully, FA-quality and would like to ask for some advices. I realize that the history of taxation in Norway is totally missing, but I'm planning to add this in the near future. Are other important contents missing or do you think the article contain irrelevant material? What should I work on to make Taxation in Norway approach the standards for a B-Class article, GA-Class article, A-Class article and FA-Class article. I would appreciate any advices.

Hi. After completing the map of the 1939 tramway, it strikes me that it should be possible to describe tram and metro lines down the line of "from X to Y it follows Fooveien" etc. You come over any references which would actually make such comments possible? I know the guys at US Highways have some government documents they cite and things like that. At home I have a 1991 copy of a map published by Oslo Sporveier showing all the metro, tram and bus routes in town (like a full-size, fold-out map which is a street map of Oslo, but with all the lines following the various lines). Do you know if they publish these sorts of things any more? Arsenikk (talk) 00:02, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Your bio articles often lack important features such as stub tags and the DEFAULTSORT, most or some categories etc. A tip for you is therefore to copy the text from an existing stub and change the text as needed. That way you will have the framework.
You assess your own articles which in itself is fine. However you often give the article too high ratings. For instance Jehans Nordby is nowhere near start-class; it contains exactly two sentences about his life.
Also I saw over at Arent Solem that direct translations of NBL was cited with an SNL tag. Why? Also you don't need citation tags after every sentence - one tag covers the preceding material, whether it be one sentence, two sentences or an entire paragraph (not two paragraphs though).

Hello, happy new year and welcome to the 2011 WikiCup! Your submissions' page can be found here and instructions of how to update the page can be found here and on the submissions' page itself. From the submissions' page, a bot will update the main scoresheet. Our rules have been very slightly updated from last year; the full rules can be found here. Please remember that you can only receive points for content on which you have done significant work in 2011; nominations of work from last year and "drive-by" nominations will not be awarded points. Signups are going to remain open through January, so if you know of anyone who would like to take part, please direct them to Wikipedia:WikiCup/2011 signups. The judges can be contacted on the WikiCup talk page, on their respective talk pages, or by email. Other than that, we will be in contact at the end of every month with the newsletter. If you want to stop or start receiving newsletters, please remove your name from or add your name to this list. Good luck! J Milburn and The ed17 14:09, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello Eisfbnore. First of all I would like to congratulate you on today's DYK. I found the article interesting and well presented but thought it would benefit from a bit of copyediting. After I had completed the edit, I thought I would check the talk page for WikiProjects, etc. I must say I was most surprised to see that these were all rated GA which is pretty unusual for such a recent article where only one editor has been involved. I then saw from the article's history that the rating had been carried out by GA bot which I thought was designed to assist human assessment rather than doing the job fully automatically. But perhaps you can provide more background on all this and explain how GA bot came into the picture? - Ipigott ( talk) 13:58, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
In the meantime, I have seen that there was indeed a proper GA review of this article by Arsenikk at Talk:Tryvandshøiden (station)/GA1 - so that's all I need to know. Well done! - Ipigott ( talk) 15:34, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to
The Bushranger (
submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by
Hurricanehink (
submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to
Yellow Evan (
submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for
Talk:Hurricane King/GA1,
Miyagawa (
submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for
Dognapping, and
Jarry1250 (
submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (
explanation), claiming for
Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Hi Eisfbnore, I was lead to believe that there was to be a rewrite of Ekebergbanen (company) last weekend with new material (see User talk:Pyrotec#Ekebergbanen (company)), which is why nothing has happened on the GAN review.

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to
The Bushranger (
submissions) (first, with 487 points) and
Hurricanehink (
submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round.
Casliber (
submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen
here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to
Jarry1250 (
submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to
Stone (
submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is
Hurricanehink (
submissions) with 231 points, who leads Pool H.
Piotrus (
submissions) (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered "
vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring.
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round three is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

I hope you don't mind, but I restored the full name in the 'early life' - note the sound file there is not the same one as the lede, and shows pronunciation of his full name;
...hence, it really needs his full name there. Whereas, in the lede - and with IPA - it would cause too much 'clutter'; this detail, within the body, does seem entirely appropriate. In addition, there should not actually be info in the lede which is not elaborated upon within the body text, as the lede is a summary of the whole. For that reason, a lede does not normally require citations (except for direct quotations and any extraordinary claims). In GA/FA review, it is normal to ensure all info in a lede is elaborated upon within the body text. I hope this is OK with you. All of the other edits you've made to the article have been constructive and helpful; thanks for that. Best, Chzz ► 13:32, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, Dahl has a little on it. I was reluctant to add in a great deal, to keep the biography tightly focussed, but a few sentences couldn't hurt. The problem is, where?

Round 2 of the
2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round.
Casliber (
submissions), who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.
This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to
Hurricanehink (
submissions) and
Nergaal (
submissions) who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored;
featured sounds,
featured portals and
featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to
Candlewicke (
submissions) (who has been eliminated) for his work on
In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!

Hello Eisfbnore. I looked into Wikipedia:AN3#User:Corner benchmark reported by User:Eisfbnore (Result: ). This is not in good enough form for an admin to close directly. It seems to me that the best option for admin action is to reopen the sock case at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sju hav/Archive. I assume that's who you think Corner benchmark is. Let me know if you would consider helping with such a case. If it were opened, I'm willing to supply an admin comment and would also consider closing it if there is enough evidence. If someone can show that Corner benchmark is continuing a crusade that was begun on the Norwegian Wikipedia, that would be persuasive. Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 15:59, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

I just though of something that should be included in all the metro station articles: this report (page 33) gives the ridership figures for each station a few years ago, and should be included. If you don't feel like counting stations, the numbers are listed at List of Oslo Metro stations. Arsenikk (talk) 12:34, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
In this edit you removed Category:1934 establishments in Norway from the article. Was this intentional? __ meco ( talk) 19:20, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Out of curiosity, were the recent edits you made to WA 903 necessary? When you use the adj=on or abbr=on function of {{ convert}} kilometre isn't spelled out, so adding sp=US is not needed. Also, am I missing something in the MOS that says 222–223 is worse than 222–3? And quotes around one word reference tags? HTML coding suggests you add quotes to all things like the ref name tag. -- Admrboltz ( talk) 20:38, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your comment on the Henry J. Wood peer review page. I know nothing of the templates you mention, and clicking on the links doesn't get me much further.

Thank you for assessing Taxation in Norway. I would like to improve the article to reach, hopefully, FA-quality and would like to ask for some advices. I realize that the history of taxation in Norway is totally missing, but I'm planning to add this in the near future. Are other important contents missing or do you think the article contain irrelevant material? What should I work on to make Taxation in Norway approach the standards for a B-Class article, GA-Class article, A-Class article and FA-Class article. I would appreciate any advices. Yours sincerely, Carpalim ( talk) 12:03, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi. After completing the map of the 1939 tramway, it strikes me that it should be possible to describe tram and metro lines down the line of "from X to Y it follows Fooveien" etc. You come over any references which would actually make such comments possible? I know the guys at US Highways have some government documents they cite and things like that. At home I have a 1991 copy of a map published by Oslo Sporveier showing all the metro, tram and bus routes in town (like a full-size, fold-out map which is a street map of Oslo, but with all the lines following the various lines). Do you know if they publish these sorts of things any more? Arsenikk (talk) 00:02, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Your bio articles often lack important features such as stub tags and the DEFAULTSORT, most or some categories etc. A tip for you is therefore to copy the text from an existing stub and change the text as needed. That way you will have the framework.
You assess your own articles which in itself is fine. However you often give the article too high ratings. For instance Jehans Nordby is nowhere near start-class; it contains exactly two sentences about his life.
Also I saw over at Arent Solem that direct translations of NBL was cited with an SNL tag. Why? Also you don't need citation tags after every sentence - one tag covers the preceding material, whether it be one sentence, two sentences or an entire paragraph (not two paragraphs though).

Hello, happy new year and welcome to the 2011 WikiCup! Your submissions' page can be found here and instructions of how to update the page can be found here and on the submissions' page itself. From the submissions' page, a bot will update the main scoresheet. Our rules have been very slightly updated from last year; the full rules can be found here. Please remember that you can only receive points for content on which you have done significant work in 2011; nominations of work from last year and "drive-by" nominations will not be awarded points. Signups are going to remain open through January, so if you know of anyone who would like to take part, please direct them to Wikipedia:WikiCup/2011 signups. The judges can be contacted on the WikiCup talk page, on their respective talk pages, or by email. Other than that, we will be in contact at the end of every month with the newsletter. If you want to stop or start receiving newsletters, please remove your name from or add your name to this list. Good luck! J Milburn and The ed17 14:09, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:04, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello Eisfbnore. First of all I would like to congratulate you on today's DYK. I found the article interesting and well presented but thought it would benefit from a bit of copyediting. After I had completed the edit, I thought I would check the talk page for WikiProjects, etc. I must say I was most surprised to see that these were all rated GA which is pretty unusual for such a recent article where only one editor has been involved. I then saw from the article's history that the rating had been carried out by GA bot which I thought was designed to assist human assessment rather than doing the job fully automatically. But perhaps you can provide more background on all this and explain how GA bot came into the picture? - Ipigott ( talk) 13:58, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
In the meantime, I have seen that there was indeed a proper GA review of this article by Arsenikk at Talk:Tryvandshøiden (station)/GA1 - so that's all I need to know. Well done! - Ipigott ( talk) 15:34, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to
The Bushranger (
submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by
Hurricanehink (
submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to
Yellow Evan (
submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for
Talk:Hurricane King/GA1,
Miyagawa (
submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for
Dognapping, and
Jarry1250 (
submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (
explanation), claiming for
Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to
The Bushranger (
submissions) (first, with 487 points) and
Hurricanehink (
submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round.
Casliber (
submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen
here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to
Jarry1250 (
submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to
Stone (
submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is
Hurricanehink (
submissions) with 231 points, who leads Pool H.
Piotrus (
submissions) (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered "
vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see

I am not sure myself, but I think there are editors disputing the GA status, so best if the submission is struck out for now - I'll restore it when it seems stable. Could you do strike it out on my page? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:32, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
I know that. But the article is at the middle of a FAC nomination and the editor made several edits ( [1], [2] and [3]) where he gave no summary or reasons for any of them. Worse: no citation or anything to back the edits. Just take a look at the history log. -- Lecen ( talk) 11:42, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
The article Young Conservatives of Texas has been nominated for deletion at AfD. Your input as to whether or not this article meets notability standards is invited. Thank you. Carrite ( talk) 16:58, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
I've recently added an infobox to the above article, and added birth and death dates to it with the templates birth year and death date and age. However, an unexpected parser error occured when I saved the article. Can somebody please fix this? Thanks, -- Eisfbnore talk 21:37, 9 April 2011 (UTC) (P. S: Her birth date is unknown)
Hi, you have participated in this FLRC. Some work has been done since. Please review your comments and indicate whether you support keeping or delisting. It would be good to finally close this thing. Thank you. Renata ( talk) 14:20, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
The article
Norsk Spisevognselskap you nominated as a
good article has been placed on hold
. The article is close to meeting the
good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See
Talk:Norsk Spisevognselskap for things which need to be addressed.

Please don't make edits
like this - {{
cite book}}
and {{
Cite book}}
are exactly the same, and since there is no redirect involved, it's even more pointless than
"fixing" links to redirects that are not broken. --

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 ( talk) 17:08, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Please revisit this FLRC to provide an update following all the hard work of many contributors trying to save the featured status of the list. Thanks. The Rambling Man ( talk) 19:15, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
All suggestions acted on. Will double check article again for any silly slip-ups. Thanks for your help! -- Amitchell125 ( talk) 17:03, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
I hope you don't mind, but I restored the full name in the 'early life' - note the sound file there is not the same one as the lede, and shows pronunciation of his full name;
...hence, it really needs his full name there. Whereas, in the lede - and with IPA - it would cause too much 'clutter'; this detail, within the body, does seem entirely appropriate. In addition, there should not actually be info in the lede which is not elaborated upon within the body text, as the lede is a summary of the whole. For that reason, a lede does not normally require citations (except for direct quotations and any extraordinary claims). In GA/FA review, it is normal to ensure all info in a lede is elaborated upon within the body text. I hope this is OK with you. All of the other edits you've made to the article have been constructive and helpful; thanks for that. Best, Chzz ► 13:32, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, Dahl has a little on it. I was reluctant to add in a great deal, to keep the biography tightly focussed, but a few sentences couldn't hurt. The problem is, where? I don't think a whole new section (of this article) is deserved. Any suggestions? Also, thanks for your help with it all. - Jarry1250 Who? Discuss. 09:22, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
Round 2 of the
2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round.
Casliber (
submissions), who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.
This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to
Hurricanehink (
submissions) and
Nergaal (
submissions) who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored;
featured sounds,
featured portals and
featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to
Candlewicke (
submissions) (who has been eliminated) for his work on
In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!
Sorry this newsletter is going out a little earlier than expected- there is a busy weekend coming up! A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Hi Eisfbnore,
Just wanted to give you a heads-up that I looked at your article at DYK, and while it's fine for the normal DYK criteria, with only one secondary source on a not obviously notable figure, I'm not sure it meets the WP:GNG. Your thoughts? Thanks! -- Khazar ( talk) 02:51, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi Eisfbnore. Quite to the point, that message. Could you please document that? Meaning, "that photographies of people are commisioned as works of arts", and that this is always the case, including the photos made available by the National Library? The National Library doesn't usually just make photos accessible unless they're okay to use. Manxruler ( talk) 15:17, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the welcome message on my no-Wiki user talk page. I'm having a bit of trouble with the no:FLK «Maudie» article. I can't get the correct German flag to display, and the flag template at no-Wiki needs the correct flag adding. I did post about this at WT:Norway. Can you help fix this?

What is your problem with the style parameter in Template:Infobox station? If you don't like a style, for whatever reason, you can change it. You don't seem to have done much creatively to a number of Danish station articles, except to destroy that entry. What is the problem? Secondarywaltz ( talk) 19:26, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

![]() | On 14 May 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Knut Tvedt, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Knut Tvedt had various positions in the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation for almost 25 years? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it 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. |
Thank you Victuallers ( talk) 00:02, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for the excellent review on Larry Geraty. I think the article is much improved as a result of it. If you have a chance, feel free to also review Heather Knight (educator), but I completely understand if you would rather not. I make a point to stay away from reviewing good articles myself (as I never catch the minor nuances that should be caught..). Happy editing! b W 18:12, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello Eisfbnore. I looked into Wikipedia:AN3#User:Corner benchmark reported by User:Eisfbnore (Result: ). This is not in good enough form for an admin to close directly. It seems to me that the best option for admin action is to reopen the sock case at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sju hav/Archive. I assume that's who you think Corner benchmark is. Let me know if you would consider helping with such a case. If it were opened, I'm willing to supply an admin comment and would also consider closing it if there is enough evidence. If someone can show that Corner benchmark is continuing a crusade that was begun on the Norwegian Wikipedia, that would be persuasive. Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 15:59, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Norwegian Botanical Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion (
{{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the
the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact
one of these administrators to request that the administrator
userfy the page or email a copy to you.
