I took a look through some of your contributions. You do great article work. I hate to see you getting frustrated by the deletion of non-free images. However, it's also important that we limit our use of non-free imagery, both for occasional legal issues but also to allow Wikipedia to be as free and unencumbered to make it more easily spreadable by anyone and by any means possible. Is there some way that I can make this frustrate you less? I'd hate to lose your article work because you get pissed off about the image deletions and leave. kmccoy (talk) 02:07, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
When adding an encyclopedia reference, please insert the name of the encyclopedia under "encyclopedia" and not "publisher". The easiest thing is to copy the entire code from an established article. Geschichte ( talk) 23:43, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Regarding your request for assistance from a Danish speaker on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Denmark, I will be most happy to help you out with the Marienlyst Castle article if you have any specific questions or requests. If I can, that is. Just write me on my talk page and I'll do my best. May I, out of sheer curiousity, ask how you stumbled upon that particular building, it's not exactly famous? Ramblersen ( talk) 07:16, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
Thank you very much for the barnstar—it is very nice to know that my work is appreciated. On a completely deferent note, I notice that you occasionally ask for translations from Norwegian. Perhaps you are not aware of services such as translate.google.com, where you can enter a URL or a text, and the program will give a rough translations. It needs a very good copyedit afterwards, but I've been able to translate Italian web sites with good enough results. If you don't like Google, I'm sure there are a hundred similar sites out there. Also, I would like to thank you for the work you've put in recently, it's impressive that a non-Norwegian takes up an interest in a small country to the north. Arsenikk (talk) 11:40, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Thought I would drop a line on your talk page on this as the talk page on the article has become rather difficult to sort out.
First, an apology: it was my mistake in citing Fountains in Paris as an excellent article. For some reason, I thought it had been a feature article when in fact it was just at the top of DYK. It did however impress me for its visual content - but that is probably because in areas like art and architecture, images often seem to be a vital key to understanding the text.
Secondly, I think you may have misunderstood some of my reactions to your suggestions. It was very fair of you to come in and try to support the improvement of the article. The only thing that worried me a bit was the idea of a sandbox. I cannot see exactly how this would work and that was why I wondered if you could provide examples of how it would operate in practice.
Finally, on the images, I am certainly happy to bow to the expertise of others but the advice has not always been along the same lines - and as you must know, most of the important design changes here have actually been undertaken by others. I have simply tried to tidy things up afterwards but my efforts seem to have been rather counter productive. That is why I would now like to spend more time on the text itself and come back to the images later.
So in conclusion, I hope you will not give up on this as the article really needs as much involvement as possible. And if you can help to rally more enthusiasts, it would certainly help. Ipigott ( talk) 15:24, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Some prose reads like a list. It should mention why it is interesting or famous not just that it is famous. (Gothic style was interesting; "false doors, dead-end corridors, murder-holes for pouring boiling pitch over the attackers")
Kronborg should be called Kronborg Castle or Kronborg fortress. It should also have a slightly larger paragraph due to it's fame and notability (UNESCO World Heritage Site).
Please avoid using " th century " so often in one paragraph like here: (Renaissance) Holbæk in northwestern Sealand began to develop towards the end of the 13th century. Prosperity continued in the 17th century as corn grown locally was traded with Germany and Holland. The hlaf-timbered houses which now form the town's museum date back to the 17th century, providing an insight into how the town functioned at that time.
Place names like Præstø, Sealand, need to be changed to the proper English names as the letters are unfamiliar to English speakers. This applies to all words in the entire article unless in brackets like so, Hotel Marienlyst (Marienlyst Kurog Søbad). If the original article link has incorrectly spelled it using Danish letters you still should have the correct English spelling in your article. I personally am fine if you use Danish letters in a persons name but some might reject this as well specially when letters like æ are used.
Avoid the use of initials before peoples names like this, C.F. Hansen. Do some research to find out the full name. If you can't find it, then they are probably not notable enough to be in the article in the first place and should be removed.

Hi! I found this page today: Wikipedia:User page design center. It has a few tips on page design—perhaps you will enjoy it. Arsenikk (talk) 21:15, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the message you left re William Speirs Bruce. I have written a fair number of Antarctic/Arctic expedition histories and biographies, though in the last 12 months I have tended to work in other fields. However, I have started a new project to expand the Karluk article into a full account of that sorry expedition, and have further plans for next year. It is a long-term goal to create a featured topic for the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. At the moment the parent article is a Featured List, and eight of the expeditions are Featured Articles. That leaves another eight articles, all at present stub or Start-class, to be raised to GA or FA. These are: Australasian Antarctic Expedition, Amundsen's South Pole expedition, Belgian Antarctic Expedition, Second German Antarctic Expedition, Swedish Antarctic Expedition, Gauss Expedition, Japanese Antarctic Expedition and two Charcot Expeditions which can be conflated to a single article.
Would you consider working with me on one or more of these, with FA status as the objective? If you are interested, choose whichever you think you'd most enjoy working on, and we'll make that the first - only don't choose the Japanese expedition where there are serious sourcing issues. As to timing. I won't be able to do substantial work until about March, as I have a couple of other things to do first. So please take your time, decide what you would like to do and let me know.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, List of Danish language writers. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - List of Danish authors. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at List of Danish authors - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the
article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions.

Hi Ice Explorer. Just saw the above article via New Page Patrol: good work, it looks very well done. I notice though that the name is spelled differently in the title and body text: Adolph and Adolf.

Hello, Ice Explorer. I have just read your message about quitting Wikipedia. I hope you have second thoughts on this as it was always a pleasure to see your interest in Scandinavia, Denmark and culture and to receive positive criticism from you.
Anyway, as I didn't know you were no longer around, I spent the last couple of days tidying up your article on Liebenberg. It was not an easy job. The Googlerized translation into English was virtually useless and I had to back to the original. I think it's now more or less OK.
I was intrigued by your interest in this person. Is there a family connection? If not, in which context did you come across him?
The article could probably benefit from a bit more work, especially inputs from other sources.

Very disappointed to see you had this completely removed. As I told you when it was in your sandbox, I thought it was a very good article.

Thank you for uploading File:Freden 1856.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:37, 16 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7.

userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the
article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions.

Another perfect example of the typical deletionists behavior. No accountability, lack of awareness, denial, no discussion before deletion and of course no interest in apologizing whatsoever. (

Hi Ice Explorer. Just saw the above article via New Page Patrol: good work, it looks very well done. I notice though that the name is spelled differently in the title and body text: Adolph and Adolf. Searching Google Books, Adolph seems to be the commoner spelling (compare Adolf) - should the spelling be changed in the article? Gonzonoir ( talk) 16:29, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

It says clearly "I (Ice Explorer (talk)) created this work entirely by myself". So what's the problem ? ( Ice Explorer ( talk) 07:02, 31 December 2009 (UTC))
Fastily doesn't understand that the image uploaded isn't copyrightable in the first place, and so no license is needed to use it. Thparkth ( talk) 17:51, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Sorry but the Editors are so small minded, abusive and bullying, I can no longer contribute to Wikipedia. For the friendly ones here I thank you for sharing. Best of luck. ( Ice Explorer ( talk) 07:14, 31 December 2009 (UTC))
Hello, Ice Explorer. I have just read your message about quitting Wikipedia. I hope you have second thoughts on this as it was always a pleasure to see your interest in Scandinavia, Denmark and culture and to receive positive criticism from you.
Anyway, as I didn't know you were no longer around, I spent the last couple of days tidying up your article on Liebenberg. It was not an easy job. The Googlerized translation into English was virtually useless and I had to back to the original. I think it's now more or less OK.
I was intrigued by your interest in this person. Is there a family connection? If not, in which context did you come across him?
The article could probably benefit from a bit more work, especially inputs from other sources.

I made the move back to Marienlyst Castle for now and opened a discussion on the talk page. I did not realize you were thinking of leaving and am glad you decided to stay. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:52, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Very disappointed to see you had this completely removed. As I told you when it was in your sandbox, I thought it was a very good article. I had just spent the last few hours making minor editorial improvements. I know it can be frustrating working on Wikipedia but your good work should not just disappear completely.

Thank you for uploading File:Freden 1856.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:37, 16 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 14:37, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:IceExplorer.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

I've redirected Wictor Esbensen to Viktor Esbensen, since there was at one point a source that used the "Wiktor" name, and redirects are cheap. The history remains, if there is something worthwhile to merge over to the "Viktor" version. FYI. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 16:46, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
