I am on friendly terms with Jacob Truedson Demitz in real life. The friendly terms are personal, not financial, but constitute a conflict of interest in this regard. I decline to publish my private circumstances on Wikipedia, but will no longer edit any article about him directly. I might put suggestions for improvement, especially to sources, on the talk pages of articles where a conflict of interest on my part is involved. -- SergeWoodzing ( talk) 21:05, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Princess Margaretha of Sweden may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi SergeWoodzing! I wanted to leave you a message to give you a hug and offer my empathy regarding your frustration at the ANI today. In the thread, I tried to provide a level-headed response and explain where opportunities could have been improved on both sides of the table. However, before I could offer you my personal assistance and diffuse the situation for everybody involved, other responses were posted on the ANI that were absolutely not constructive or acceptable from a participant at ANI, and they made the situation much much worse (the opposite of what I was trying to do). I completely understand your frustration today, as well as the fact that the ANI thread left you feeling even more frustrated, even more attacked and criticized, and with your feelings left completely ignored.
Speaking on behalf of the administrators and experienced editors that participate at ANI: ...we are expected to assume good faith, listen to both sides of the story, diffuse the situation, offer a level-headed and local analysis of the situation without jumping to conclusions or taking sides, and do our best to make sure that the discussion ends with everyone involved feeling satisfied and listened to. I feel like this did not happen in your ANI discussion today. And for that, I'm very very sorry, and I feel very disappointed that you were treated the way that you were. While I feel that the discussion started off in a fair manner, and with fair statements made, it certainly did not end this way. We missed an opportunity to demonstrate the leadership and maturity that comes with being an experienced editor, and we failed at our job.
I encourage you to take some time, let emotions and frustrations cool down, and allow yourself to move on and (hopefully) take some part of this (even if it's very small) and see it as a positive learning experience. I also want you to know that my talk page is always open to you, and that you're more than welcome to message me if you want to talk, if you have concerns that you want to express, or if you need someone to help you with anything. I promise that I will treat with respect and I will do my best to help you with anything that you need regarding Wikipedia. I hope you have a good weekend, and I wish you happy editing :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 03:09, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
If you falsely accuse others of OWNing an article with no proof ( "You yo not own this article") I will happily file a report on you at ANI. there is no OWNership here, but there is some disrtuption caused by uncivil editors making false accusations. - SchroCat ( talk) 15:33, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

You added a partial citation to Faust Landmark that does not enable readers to find the book. The title is incomplete, the author is missing, and the ISBN is invalid. Can you please complete the citation? Thanks. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 17:25, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
To me it seems that you take prince Bernadotte very personell.we did not have any "issue". We discussed if the source was good or not. You did not agree with us, although we gave good reasons. Of course you have the right to ask others to say their opinion, and that was good. By doing so you saw that those people also thought like we did... Which means that we were not wrong, and then it was not an issue. By writing "other neutral users" all the time makes it very personal against the first users who objected against that specific source. You writes very nice not to write personal on the talk pages, but by writing that way you do it your self. And yes, I am neutral. Adville ( talk) 18:28, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

I stumbled over Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich of Russia, not a terrible article (don´t know if you ever read Lucky Luke), but one of the things that caught my eye is what seems to be an overuse of his title, if you control-f "the grand duke" you´ll see what I mean. I´m thinking of changing it to more of a first-name basis, like in Peter the Great. Is it worth doing or shouldn´t I bother? Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 12:56, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Has anyone checked Crompton 2009 for the sources the author uses for the rather sweeping statement "modern biographers generally consider her to have been a lesbian, and her affairs with women were noted during her lifetime"? And since when is a person's sexuality the result of an opinion poll? I hasten to notice that everything else in the relevant section is innuendo or suspicion, so that it is really Crompton that it all hangs from. In any event, I have boldly moved Christina's own declaration to the top, as the standard nowadays with regard to sexuality is that it does not matter what other people think, it matters what you declare. See: Manning, Jenner. I hope this is not offtopic to you. I just don't have access to the Crompton book. Thanks, and happy new year. XavierItzm ( talk) 12:44, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
Hello again, Serge ! May I ask , have you (also, like me) been more or less thrown out of Swedish Wiki ? And may I copy your template to my page ? By the way, Jacob Truedson Demitz, appear to have had some controversies with Swedish wiki as well. see the Gallery part of Swedish Wikipedia, there is a picture of him.

I kindly ask you to refrain from making hasty conclusions about the experience of other users, using such assessments (right or wrong) as an argument when discussing an article, and belittling other users' comments (all in contrast to what you did here). / 83.227.115.112 ( talk) 17:29, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
Hello Serge! I simply read wrong, Sigismund was indeed king of both Sweden and Poland during some years. I read it as if Charles IX had been the same. Boeing720 ( talk) 01:00, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi I've noticed that you have added quite a few references to the above person here and there. I don't know if you have a personal connection with him or not but you seem to consider him as notable. It looks like these additions, which seeing the lack of proven notability, may be spamming. This is often a technique used by COI editors to create an artificial notability. If you believe that he is notable I would suggest writing an article about him and submitting it for review. This would be a better way of ensuring his presence on Wikipedia. Domdeparis ( talk) 13:57, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
@ Domdeparis: It is a well known fact that SW has a extremly strong COI when it comes to these photo, the non notworthy Emil Eikner, Demitz and Southerly clubs. SW continuesless POV-pushing, fals sourcing and blunt COI rendered him permanently banned from Swedish Wikipedia. Look at his user talkpage over there. So you are right about the pictures and SW. Dnm ( talk) 09:34, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

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}}

User put this yesterday on h own talk page (my reply there follows h "Request for clarification"):
@ Drmies: I am pinging you here so as not to to pollute your talk page. I would like to clear up a couple of things you said that you have no problem with SW's editing but on the COIN you wrote "I don't understand why someone would fill a wall of text and then say "oh yeah I share a computer with this guy"--I mean seriously, no one like that should be writing on that person." You were talking about SW I believe. At the very top of the WP:COI page it says "COI editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. It undermines public confidence, and it risks causing public embarrassment to the individuals and companies being promoted. Editors with a COI cannot know whether or how much it has influenced their editing. If COI editing causes disruption, an administrator may opt to place blocks on the involved accounts.
Editors with a COI, including paid editors, are expected to disclose it whenever they seek to influence an affected article's content. Anyone editing for pay must disclose who is paying them, who the client is, and any other relevant affiliation; this is a requirement of the Wikimedia Foundation.[6] In addition, COI editors are generally advised not to edit affected articles directly, and to propose changes on talk pages instead."
For days SW refused to admit his COI and only did it after a private exchange by mail with someone here if I remember rightly. I took your comment from the COIN page as an administrator to mean that his editing is a problem when it deals with Demitz. I am seriously confused why now you are stating that you do not have any problem with his editing. I'll be honest I took this as an implicit validation to clean up his editing. -- Domdeparis ( talk) 05:22, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
Though I've been welcomed several times to discuss maters concerning me on that user's talk page, this one didn't make it.

This was on an administrator's talk page until 2018-01-15, and it may make some people feel a bit better to read it now and then:
Hello Bishonen ! Long time no see. I don't really understand what has happened with Demitz. Are you about to recreate the article once more ? Perhaps some people cannot differ between Serge and Demitz. 6-7 "voters" had less than 250 edits here. Unfair, doubtlessly. Now swWiki has opened up for further deletions here. The principles were not considered, in my opinion. Thanks for your efforts, and I hope some article can be restored. Thanks! Boeing720 ( talk) 04:24, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Great work on Ingrosso too.
Ivan Öfverholm died yesterday, I've uploaded the only passable facial photo we have of him in the family archives here. Perhaps you'd like to add it to the article there? Confirmation of his death should be in Swedish papers within the next few days, or maybe as soon as tomorrow at Ingenjörer utan gränser.
Now that you did such a good job here on Lindarw, perhaps you'd also like to fix his Swedish article? The lack of sourced info about his very appreciated book and fantastic last show tour is embarrassing. And his retirement from those shows. Best wishes! -- SergeWoodzing ( talk) 07:04, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

I believe there are not enough eyes looking at these articles, and often notable people and topics are getting deleted just because there are not enough people like you willing to research and defend them. -- BabbaQ ( talk) 23:48, 5 March 2018 (UTC) |

Hi SergeWoodzing. In your recent edit of Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, you used Rollback. Wikipedia:Rollback requires that Rollback may only be used in specific situations, and you might not have been aware that using Rollback to revert good-faith edits is generally not permissible. -- Bsherr ( talk) 15:47, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

You have recently, in my opinion, questioned my behavior by this edit.
The correct place to do this is on my user talk page, not on an article talk page. Please either do that or desist.
I am very sorry that this seems to be escalating, but I feel that you are giving me no choice. Andrewa ( talk) 10:32, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
As I have said above, I am concerned that you claim to have corrected hundreds if not thousands of Swenglish errors [3] similar to your proposed change to an article name. The RM appears to be controversial at least, yet in the same post you claim that your proposed title is irrefutably correct.
So I must ask, are any of these other corrections to hundreds if not thousands of Swenglish errors soundly based? I am not wishing to discourage your participation here. But I think there are grounds for fearing that some of it may be misguided, and I want to clear that up.
Can you give some examples of other edits in which you have corrected Swenglish? Andrewa ( talk) 00:54, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for those replies. Some of them relate to behavioural issues, and I'll address those in #Behavioural issues above.
The question for this section is whether Swenglish is acceptable at all in English Wikipedia, and if so under what circumstances. We seem to have had some disagreements on this. They are in two main areas: Linguistics, and Wikipedia policy.
You are not on trial. But there are questions to discuss, and I hope that you will not object to some use of the Socratic method in this discussion. It is not supposed to be an Inquisition.
In proposing the recent RM that sparked this, you said The "in" is Swenglish, i.e. a dictionary translation without better knowledge of normal English. (Swedish Academy's English and that of the Nobel Foundation, leave much to be desired.) Wikipedia should not endorse a translation error. [4]
Later you claimed Nobel Prize for Literature is (1) sufficiently known and (2) irrefutably correct and (3) does not set a bad example and sabotage the hard work of English teachers. [5] There is much in that post with which I disagree, but I'd like to focus on that part of it for the moment.
That RM has now closed as not moved. I think it's a good close, but obviously it favours my viewpoints. So, can we accept this as a consensus decision, or would you like to discuss that further? Andrewa ( talk) 00:20, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

...did not develp in Italy. It is very clearly explained in the article that the genre is partly based on commedia dell'arte, which developed in Italy. In fact, modern pantomime has almost no connection with the Italian genre, since modern pantomimes no longer even include the Harlequinade. Furthermore, you have never, as far as I know, contributed a WP:Reliable source to the article that gives helpful historical context. I have been reading every single contribution that anyone has made to this article since at least 2007, and I have also been reading about the genre of pantomime since then in books about Victorian theatre, on the internet and elsewhere. I am confident that the genre is *entirely* British (I am American, BTW), and all "pantomime" performances in every other country (other than those based on the French mime genre) are simply locally-adapted (if at all adapted) copies of British pantomime. No one has *ever* added anything to the article based on a WP:RS, let alone from a credible historian, that shows otherwise. So, I totally disagree with you, and feel confident that you don't know what you're talking about. Yes, anyone who claims otherwise is making a mess, and you should do some research in actual reliable sources. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 19:02, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Dear SergeWoodzing,
Yes thank you I had noticed that you had changed it back and I truly appreciate it. It is kind of funny Dr. Kay changed it based on a comment you had written in another section of wikipedia. If you could tell her that you changed your mind I would be deeply grateful and pardon the confusion.

I noticed you posted at the BLP noticeboard about Ivan Boesky. I think when you do, you are supposed to also tag the article talk page with the "BLP noticeboard" template.

Thanks for your intervention on the Thunberg talk page. If there is a wiki rule I'll obey it. But I can't find the rule about using real names either.

However, names are largely a matter of taste of course (assuming the child is not hampered by the name). Cheers for now. MartiniShaw ( talk) 23:42, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Hi -- SergeWoodzing I'm sorry but i don't share your views nor do i agree with you. Your fixation on trying to remove the concept of succession from Swedish monarchs just isn't right. I have stated that there is a difference between normal kingship and legendary such. The ones that are featured on the pages where we have collided are not as part of the normal Swedish monarch tradition of succession as it's clearly shown to be part of the "legendary" prehistoric discussion. I have found many conflicting things you have posted and the discussion about you isn't exactly good either and to be honest is far more extensive than what is said about me as you're the first to raise a complaint.
By your logic you would literally have to go to every single legendary monarch page in Europe and remove all forms of succession from the legendary discussion. You cannot shape the narrative of history just because you don't like it, you are the minority here as the edits I'm protecting were made long before i joined the discussion. Something actually feels a bit off about you based on how many people you've nominated for deletion and I'm actually starting to think you're abusing the forum and have gotten tunnel visioned with just getting your own opinion through. Stop trying to threaten and bully people into submission. You post on my page saying you'll have me blocked because you have some sort of authority on the matter just because you don't like my edits.
They aren't breaking any rules and are in line with what previously has been the majority opinion on these pages which you are trying to remove. You feel like you have the right to bully and threaten to get your way, i respect that but i assure you that you have no such right. This type of behavior could have you blocked as trolling because of personal opinion isn't allowed. I read your opinion on Greta Thunberg for an example and they actually scare me. You seem to have a fixation about disliking her and trying to smear her good name with no sources or credibility which just isn't right, your personal bias is showing here which is highly unprofessional. I suggest you shape up a bit, to use your own rude language. -- Gaudi9223 ( talk) 11:32, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Stockholm shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
This is a content dispute - please take to the article talk page to discuss. Giant Snowman 10:33, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

This removal was improper and violated the rules at Third Opinion, which state: "If you are a party to a dispute and another party has requested an opinion it is improper for you to remove or modify the request, even if the request does not meet the requirements for a third opinion or because you do not want a Third Opinion. If you feel that the request does not meet the requirements for a third opinion and should be removed, post a request on the Third Opinion talk page to be evaluated by an uninvolved volunteer." But the best remedy is to just do nothing. If a 3O is given, you're free to ignore it since 3O's don't "count" towards consensus.

Hi SergeWoodzing!
So I did some research as we seem to be in disagreement over the spelling of Charles XIV John's name in Swedish.
What I have found is that Bernadotte signed all his documents as King as Carl, he never used Karl. Also, his Royal Monogram cipher was a stylized "C."
Moreover, every source I have on Bernadotte, which is about ten books, refer to his use of "Carl" during his lifetime.
That said, the Official site for the Swedish Monarchy uses "Karl."
So, what is your opinion? Bernadotte spelled his name as Carl, but later sources use Karl.
Should not the monarch's spelling of his own name have precedence?
Let me know what you think, and thank you.
Best!
– SJCreecy (talk) 18:34, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Works for me! I am writing a book on Bernadotte, and primary source documents, and the variety of biographies, all in 3-4 languages, is both very challenging and rewarding. There are many points of view on Carl Johan.... Thanks again!
– SJCreecy (talk) 18:34, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi SergeWoodzing! I will check that book out! I am always looking for more sources and colleagues to collaborate with! I would be remiss to neglect the Prince Bernadotte subject. The problem with writing a bio on CXIVJ is that there are actually more bios on him than any of the other marshals (for good reason). Barton's magistral bio seems the definitive work and there is not much to add to his pre-1818 work. But I would like to go into more on his reign as King. And his legacy in Swedish and Norwegian politics. And, as a final gibe at Napoleon, how many more of his descendants sat on thrones, and married into other royal families compared to the Bonaparts.

By Baroness Ludmilla Jankovska von Lažan (1615-1655) he had an Illegitimate son: Karl Vaclav Jankovský of Vlašim (1644-1684), who became Baron of Château Rešice in Moravia. [7]

Prince Karl Gustav (Karl Gustav von Pfalz-Zweibrücken) and Baroness Ludmilla (Ludmilla Bechyňové z Lažan) meet each other during Karl Gustav's participation in The Thirty Year War in Moravia. They had an affair at Château Tovačově and Horní Moštěnici in 1643. Ludmilla gave birth to son Karl Vaclav (Carolus Wenceslaus Jankoffsky) in Znojmo, Moravia in 1644.
After the Battle of Jankov in 1645, Prince Karl Gustav brought Karl Vaclav back with him to Sweden. Prince Karl Gustav paid for his education (Uppsala University, Oct. 5th,1646) and the young Karl lived with him on the Isle of Öland. In 1649 the widow Ludmilla needing financial aid sent a letter to Prince Karl Gustav in Sweden asking for support for herself and her two daughters (Sweden, a letter, dated April 19th, 1649). Prior to becoming King of Sweden Karl Gustav returned young Karl Vaclav to his mother Ludmilla in Moravia.
After Ludmilla's death in 1655 Karl X Gustav, King of Sweden, intervened in King's Tribunal in support of Karl Vaclav (Instructions Royal Tribunal in Brno dated January 12th,1656). Karl Vaclav was granted Coat of Arms, the title Baron Jankovský z Vlašimi and the ownership of the Château Rešice estate. Karl married Marií Františkou von Schaumburk, the daughter of Christoph ze Schaumburku and Apollonia von Stadion.

Hi, thank you for your message and thoughtfulness! In reference to why I changed the names, I did it because that's how many of the other royal family trees are set up. As far as changing it in the future when they pass, the tree would have to be changed anyway (ie. Victoria would become queen, Daniel prince consort, Estelle crown princess, etc.; not to mention the boxes of the current king and queen would need to be made red). It does distinguish them as the present monarch and consort as opposed to a former/abdicated monarch (as is more common in monarchies outside of the UK such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Japan, etc.), and is how their names appear in the Swedish royal family template (and how other royal family templates are set up). Their names are also spelled out earlier in the article. I'm not dead set on it, so I'll be happy to change it back if you think that's best. However, I do think it speaks to continuity across other pages and templates. ~ Iamthecheese44 ( talk) 19:46, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
Sorry, I think your move of Chanson to French songs was not a good idea, and reverted it. The pieces in question, be it medieval or 20th century, are called chansons internationally. If you want to try a move anyway, I recommend a formal WP:RM, but see little chances for a success. Chanson is mentioned 64 times on the page, - that tells me enough about what the Common name is. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:59, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi SergeWoodzing!
I saw your revision on the sentence in the CXIVJ page on the Invasion of Swedish Pomerania. I saw that you thought that the "official" French reason for invasion, that Sweden was not adhering to the Continental System, was not encompassed in the citation. I have went back to confirm that it is mentioned in Barton (P. 32 of Barton's Bernadotte: Prince and King), and Scott's Bernadotte and the Fall of Napoleon, Pp. 12-13. But, in my error, or someone's, the wrong citation was provided for the immediate reference. There was a cite for Franklin's Sweden: The Nation's History that did not include that bit. I have since cleaned up the citation issue.
I am not going to push the point of restoring the older version, but I think it important to include the official French point of view, even if it was obviously not to be taken seriously.
What do you think?

Hi SergeWoodzing!
I hope you are well! I want to ask your opinion on a matter. I was editing the page on the Swedish-Norwegian War of 1814 and saw something rather odd. Someone had edited the info box claiming that the Swedish Army did not have 100 cannon "in their whole army," and thus changed the Swedish cannon establishment for the campaign to four batteries (12-16 cannon) for the invasion force of 45,000 men.
Needless to say, this is absurd given that the Swedes had far more than 100 cannon in their army and that Bernadotte had reformed the Swedish Army along French lines (to some extent), and that the given cannon establishment of the day for the French, and other powers in 1813-1815, was about 20-30 cannon per division, and with each corps level unit having a artillery park of its own of around 30-40 cannon. 43,000-45,000 troops is about four divisions, or two corps, so one figures that the establishment in total is probably well over 100 guns. Moreover, the invasion force was purposely besieging fortresses, a task that requires lots of artillery. Finally, it is well established that Bernadotte shared Napoleon's love of grande batteries, having used one of 150 at Dennewitz, and one of 200 at Leipzig.
While this is all known and can be cited as the typical make-up in terms of cannon that we may infer, I do not have a citation for an actual number of cannon used in the campaign by the Swedes and Swedish wiki also omits the total number. So while the 4 batteries listed is very obviously wrong, until I have a source giving me an exact number, I feel I cannot edit the number.
However, I am generally constrained by English language sources, which despite my large Bernadotte library I have no number, and a rather limited use of Swedish sources. As you are an acknowledged expert on Carl XIV Johan, I was wondering if you had any sources that may include the number of cannon in the campaign, or if you could point me toward a source or two on the matter.
As always, I enjoy working with you and I hope you have had a great holiday season! Best!

I wanted to explain my revert on Sigrid - your addition said the author had Olaf and Sigrid married earlier, but they split and that let them marry Gunhild and Sweyn repectively. The problem is that in the body of the article we name Gunhild as a wife of Sweyn, not of Olaf, according to Snorri, so there is a mismatch over who is marrying Gunhild. Please explain on Sigrid's Talk page so I can better understand what this author is saying (and the nature of the work - is it a historical study or historical fiction?)

If you disagree with article assessment for a specific project you are more than welcome to reassess them, see general assessment FAQ. It is preferably that you use constructive edit summaries when doing so. When it comes to assessment there is, in my opinion, a wide grey zone between e.g. start-class and C-class or importance=low and importance=mid for a project, so reassessment is not a strange thing at all. But removal of assessments is simply not useful for the housekeeping of any Wikipedia project, since the resulting "NA" indicates that the article hasn't been checked out at all from an assessment point of view. And I plead with you not to start behave in the same way here as you did at Swedish Wikipedia over a long period of time. Regards, Tomas e ( talk) 00:10, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Dear SergeWoodzing, I see you reverted the preceding edit to Alfred Nobel#Monuments and legacy saying in the edit summary "not in sourtce - we cannot know how he felt".
Here's a quote from the source: "Nobel was [...] tormented by the possible deadly uses of his discoveries". Do you not think that justifies the statement "Nobel was distraught that his discoveries might have been used for lethal purposes"? To me, the two sentences sound nearly identical in meaning.

While you are correct that the "van" in "Jan van Risseghem" should not be capitalized in English, as is also the case for other prepositions that commence certain types of toponymic surnames (such as "de," "ten," "zu," "von," etc.), that is not because the "van" should never be capitalized but because, in that instance, the "van" is preceded by a capitalized word referring to the person in question. So, in English (and in Spanish; I'm not familiar enough with other languages' orthography rules to know if it applies to them as well), one would write "I spoke with Jan van Risseghem," "I spoke with Herr van Risseghem," "I spoke with Mr. van Risseghem" and "I spoke with Dr. van Risseghem," but one would also write "I spoke with Van Risseghem," "I spoke with my friend Van Risseghem" and, of course, "Van Risseghem spoke with him." I don't care enough about Jan van Risseghem's article to edit it again, so I leave it up to you. Cheers, AuH2ORepublican ( talk) 20:40, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

so should be normal (ill)
Template:Interlanguage link link with both en-wiki and sv-wiki link?
However since there's no en-wiki about late
sv:Lars Flinckman so that would create unexisting en-wiki page (as in red link)
If I'm not wrong, from what I'm aware of past performances, Lars Flinckman was regular duo with
Christer Lindarw...though I'm also aware After Dark is a
Musical theatre group of team members too
hence had created direct link to sv-wiki since there's no en-wiki about Lars Flinckman and I definitely don't know Swedish...
so should be normal (ill) link with both en-wiki and sv-wiki link? or should be none at all (though seemed unusual given
sv:Lars Flinckman regular duo with
Christer Lindarw as explained above...

similar one even more so in zh-wiki, actually Chinese Wikipedia even more so

Are you someone who can assist with comment on the translation of Vasa as given in the explanatory footnote in the opening words of Vasa (ship)?
The footnote says that Vasa translates as fascine. I take this to mean the bundle of brushwood (or other material) used by military engineers to fill trenches and ditches. (Definition 1a in the Oxford English Dictionary.)
I believe this to be a mistranslation. I am no linguist, but as far as I can determine, the Swedish word vasa has two meanings: vase (as in the thing you put a bunch of flowers in) and sheaf (OED: One of the large bundles in which it is usual to bind cereal plants after reaping. Also, a similar bundle of the stalks or blooms of other plants). The clue to this is the symbol at the centre of the Vasa coat of arms, which seems to be a visual pun on the dual meaning of the word.
Looking at sources, we find (following on from an explanation of how "W" became "V" in modern Swedish):
"In the 17th century, the ship was not referred to as Wasa, but as Wasan or Wasen, which translates literally as "the Wasa" (the definite article is a suffix in Swedish)." (Cederlund, Carl Olof (2006) Vasa I, The Archaeology of a Swedish Warship of 1628, series editor: Fred Hocker ISBN 91-974659-0-9 pg 15)
I stuck a {{ citation needed}} on the footnote, but with no response – but it seems an easy thing to fix if you have a good translation.
If this isn't one for you, any thoughts on where I could go with this? Thanks, ThoughtIdRetired ( talk) 14:01, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
This has now raised its head in the article. It amounts to a failed verification template in the footnote in the first sentence of the text (after an edit back to "fascine") and a new subject on the talk page, where this discussion should probably move now..

Hi SergeWoodzing! I wanted to leave you a message to give you a hug and offer my empathy regarding your frustration at the ANI today. In the thread, I tried to provide a level-headed response and explain where opportunities could have been improved on both sides of the table. However, before I could offer you my personal assistance and diffuse the situation for everybody involved, other responses were posted on the ANI that were absolutely not constructive or acceptable from a participant at ANI, and they made the situation much much worse (the opposite of what I was trying to do). I completely understand your frustration today, as well as the fact that the ANI thread left you feeling even more frustrated, even more attacked and criticized, and with your feelings left completely ignored.
Speaking on behalf of the administrators and experienced editors that participate at ANI: ...we are expected to assume good faith, listen to both sides of the story, diffuse the situation, offer a level-headed and local analysis of the situation without jumping to conclusions or taking sides, and do our best to make sure that the discussion ends with everyone involved feeling satisfied and listened to. I feel like this did not happen in your ANI discussion today. And for that, I'm very very sorry, and I feel very disappointed that you were treated the way that you were. While I feel that the discussion started off in a fair manner, and with fair statements made, it certainly did not end this way. We missed an opportunity to demonstrate the leadership and maturity that comes with being an experienced editor, and we failed at our job.
I encourage you to take some time, let emotions and frustrations cool down, and allow yourself to move on and (hopefully) take some part of this (even if it's very small) and see it as a positive learning experience. I also want you to know that my talk page is always open to you, and that you're more than welcome to message me if you want to talk, if you have concerns that you want to express, or if you need someone to help you with anything. I promise that I will treat with respect and I will do my best to help you with anything that you need regarding Wikipedia.

To me it seems that you take prince Bernadotte very personell.we did not have any "issue". We discussed if the source was good or not. You did not agree with us, although we gave good reasons. Of course you have the right to ask others to say their opinion, and that was good. By doing so you saw that those people also thought like we did... Which means that we were not wrong, and then it was not an issue. By writing "other neutral users" all the time makes it very personal against the first users who objected against that specific source. You writes very nice not to write personal on the talk pages, but by writing that way you do it your self. And yes, I am neutral. Adville ( talk) 18:28, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I would like to thank you for your understanding about the questions you had with Acirams edits.I really ment that you did correct to go to other users to get it solved instead of risking a conflict that no one would be a winner in.
Because you have been a long time contributor on svwp I also want to tell you the sad news that Obelix ( talk · contribs) passed away two weeks ago. I know you had your arguments, but I think you should know. Best regards, Adville ( talk) 20:55, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
I stumbled over Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich of Russia, not a terrible article (don´t know if you ever read Lucky Luke), but one of the things that caught my eye is what seems to be an overuse of his title, if you control-f "the grand duke" you´ll see what I mean. I´m thinking of changing it to more of a first-name basis, like in Peter the Great. Is it worth doing or shouldn´t I bother? Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 12:56, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Has anyone checked Crompton 2009 for the sources the author uses for the rather sweeping statement "modern biographers generally consider her to have been a lesbian, and her affairs with women were noted during her lifetime"? And since when is a person's sexuality the result of an opinion poll? I hasten to notice that everything else in the relevant section is innuendo or suspicion, so that it is really Crompton that it all hangs from. In any event, I have boldly moved Christina's own declaration to the top, as the standard nowadays with regard to sexuality is that it does not matter what other people think, it matters what you declare. See: Manning, Jenner. I hope this is not offtopic to you. I just don't have access to the Crompton book. Thanks, and happy new year. XavierItzm ( talk) 12:44, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
Hello again, Serge ! May I ask , have you (also, like me) been more or less thrown out of Swedish Wiki ? And may I copy your template to my page ? By the way, Jacob Truedson Demitz, appear to have had some controversies with Swedish wiki as well. see the Gallery part of Swedish Wikipedia, there is a picture of him. And it seems like he had some kind of discussion with them, in Stockholm 2010. Cheers Boeing720 ( talk) 23:29, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Roberts. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I kindly ask you to refrain from making hasty conclusions about the experience of other users, using such assessments (right or wrong) as an argument when discussing an article, and belittling other users' comments (all in contrast to what you did here). / 83.227.115.112 ( talk) 17:29, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
Hello Serge! I simply read wrong, Sigismund was indeed king of both Sweden and Poland during some years. I read it as if Charles IX had been the same. Boeing720 ( talk) 01:00, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi I've noticed that you have added quite a few references to the above person here and there. I don't know if you have a personal connection with him or not but you seem to consider him as notable. It looks like these additions, which seeing the lack of proven notability, may be spamming. This is often a technique used by COI editors to create an artificial notability. If you believe that he is notable I would suggest writing an article about him and submitting it for review. This would be a better way of ensuring his presence on Wikipedia. Domdeparis ( talk) 13:57, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
@ Domdeparis: It is a well known fact that SW has a extremly strong COI when it comes to these photo, the non notworthy Emil Eikner, Demitz and Southerly clubs. SW continuesless POV-pushing, fals sourcing and blunt COI rendered him permanently banned from Swedish Wikipedia. Look at his user talkpage over there. So you are right about the pictures and SW. Dnm ( talk) 09:34, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Domdeparis. I noticed that you removed topically-relevant content from Talk:Jacob Truedson Demitz.

The article Hans E. Wallman has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
this BIO has no sources that support the article. Fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG
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

User put this yesterday on h own talk page (my reply there follows h "Request for clarification"):
@ Drmies: I am pinging you here so as not to to pollute your talk page. I would like to clear up a couple of things you said that you have no problem with SW's editing but on the COIN you wrote "I don't understand why someone would fill a wall of text and then say "oh yeah I share a computer with this guy"--I mean seriously, no one like that should be writing on that person." You were talking about SW I believe. At the very top of the WP:COI page it says "COI editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. It undermines public confidence, and it risks causing public embarrassment to the individuals and companies being promoted. Editors with a COI cannot know whether or how much it has influenced their editing. If COI editing causes disruption, an administrator may opt to place blocks on the involved accounts.
Editors with a COI, including paid editors, are expected to disclose it whenever they seek to influence an affected article's content. Anyone editing for pay must disclose who is paying them, who the client is, and any other relevant affiliation; this is a requirement of the Wikimedia Foundation.[6] In addition, COI editors are generally advised not to edit affected articles directly, and to propose changes on talk pages instead."
For days SW refused to admit his COI and only did it after a private exchange by mail with someone here if I remember rightly. I took your comment from the COIN page as an administrator to mean that his editing is a problem when it deals with Demitz. I am seriously confused why now you are stating that you do not have any problem with his editing. I'll be honest I took this as an implicit validation to clean up his editing. -- Domdeparis ( talk) 05:22, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
Though I've been welcomed several times to discuss maters concerning me on that user's talk page, this one didn't make it.

This was on an administrator's talk page until 2018-01-15, and it may make some people feel a bit better to read it now and then:
Hello Bishonen ! Long time no see. I don't really understand what has happened with Demitz. Are you about to recreate the article once more ? Perhaps some people cannot differ between Serge and Demitz. 6-7 "voters" had less than 250 edits here. Unfair, doubtlessly. Now swWiki has opened up for further deletions here. The principles were not considered, in my opinion. Thanks for your efforts, and I hope some article can be restored. Thanks! Boeing720 ( talk) 04:24, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Ivan Öfverholm died yesterday, I've uploaded the only passable facial photo we have of him in the family archives here. Perhaps you'd like to add it to the article there? Confirmation of his death should be in Swedish papers within the next few days, or maybe as soon as tomorrow at Ingenjörer utan gränser.
Now that you did such a good job here on Lindarw, perhaps you'd also like to fix his Swedish article?

You have recently, in my opinion, questioned my behavior by this edit.
The correct place to do this is on my user talk page, not on an article talk page. Please either do that or desist.
I am very sorry that this seems to be escalating, but I feel that you are giving me no choice. Andrewa ( talk) 10:32, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
As I have said above, I am concerned that you claim to have corrected hundreds if not thousands of Swenglish errors [3] similar to your proposed change to an article name. The RM appears to be controversial at least, yet in the same post you claim that your proposed title is irrefutably correct.
So I must ask, are any of these other corrections to hundreds if not thousands of Swenglish errors soundly based? I am not wishing to discourage your participation here. But I think there are grounds for fearing that some of it may be misguided, and I want to clear that up.
Can you give some examples of other edits in which you have corrected Swenglish? Andrewa ( talk) 00:54, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for those replies. Some of them relate to behavioural issues, and I'll address those in #Behavioural issues above.
The question for this section is whether Swenglish is acceptable at all in English Wikipedia, and if so under what circumstances. We seem to have had some disagreements on this. They are in two main areas: Linguistics, and Wikipedia policy.
You are not on trial. But there are questions to discuss, and I hope that you will not object to some use of the Socratic method in this discussion. It is not supposed to be an Inquisition.
In proposing the recent RM that sparked this, you said The "in" is Swenglish, i.e. a dictionary translation without better knowledge of normal English. (Swedish Academy's English and that of the Nobel Foundation, leave much to be desired.) Wikipedia should not endorse a translation error. [4]
Later you claimed Nobel Prize for Literature is (1) sufficiently known and (2) irrefutably correct and (3) does not set a bad example and sabotage the hard work of English teachers. [5] There is much in that post with which I disagree, but I'd like to focus on that part of it for the moment.
That RM has now closed as not moved. I think it's a good close, but obviously it favours my viewpoints. So, can we accept this as a consensus decision, or would you like to discuss that further? Andrewa ( talk) 00:20, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

...did not develp in Italy. It is very clearly explained in the article that the genre is partly based on commedia dell'arte, which developed in Italy. In fact, modern pantomime has almost no connection with the Italian genre, since modern pantomimes no longer even include the Harlequinade. Furthermore, you have never, as far as I know, contributed a WP:Reliable source to the article that gives helpful historical context. I have been reading every single contribution that anyone has made to this article since at least 2007, and I have also been reading about the genre of pantomime since then in books about Victorian theatre, on the internet and elsewhere. I am confident that the genre is *entirely* British (I am American, BTW), and all "pantomime" performances in every other country (other than those based on the French mime genre) are simply locally-adapted (if at all adapted) copies of British pantomime. No one has *ever* added anything to the article based on a WP:RS, let alone from a credible historian, that shows otherwise. So, I totally disagree with you, and feel confident that you don't know what you're talking about. Yes, anyone who claims otherwise is making a mess, and you should do some research in actual reliable sources. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 19:02, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Dear SergeWoodzing,
I greatly appreciate that you changed the original version and you are more than welcome to change any grammatical errors. I am not particular good a grammar, so we all appreciate how you corrected any grammatical errors and reverted the rest back to the original document.
Thank you, Truth-seer
Dear SergeWoodzing,
Yes thank you I had noticed that you had changed it back and I truly appreciate it. It is kind of funny Dr. Kay changed it based on a comment you had written in another section of wikipedia. If you could tell her that you changed your mind I would be deeply grateful and pardon the confusion.
Thank you for your help and hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hi.
I noticed you posted at the BLP noticeboard about Ivan Boesky. I think when you do, you are supposed to also tag the article talk page with the "BLP noticeboard" template. The instructions are at the top of the noticeboard page. I went ahead and tagged that article for you. Since you've also brought up a couple of other articles, you may want to tag those as well.

Thanks for your intervention on the Thunberg talk page. If there is a wiki rule I'll obey it. But I can't find the rule about using real names either. Greta has her good points of course, and so do her parents, but using Tintin is not one of them - in my view. However, names are largely a matter of taste of course (assuming the child is not hampered by the name). Cheers for now. MartiniShaw ( talk) 23:42, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ingolf of Sweden is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ingolf of Sweden until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Clarityfiend ( talk) 09:05, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

You are correct about what you said on Caroline's talk page. Unfortunately, others dwell on negative aspects of people's lives and amplify them.

Hi -- SergeWoodzing I'm sorry but i don't share your views nor do i agree with you. Your fixation on trying to remove the concept of succession from Swedish monarchs just isn't right. I have stated that there is a difference between normal kingship and legendary such. The ones that are featured on the pages where we have collided are not as part of the normal Swedish monarch tradition of succession as it's clearly shown to be part of the "legendary" prehistoric discussion. I have found many conflicting things you have posted and the discussion about you isn't exactly good either and to be honest is far more extensive than what is said about me as you're the first to raise a complaint.
By your logic you would literally have to go to every single legendary monarch page in Europe and remove all forms of succession from the legendary discussion. You cannot shape the narrative of history just because you don't like it, you are the minority here as the edits I'm protecting were made long before i joined the discussion. Something actually feels a bit off about you based on how many people you've nominated for deletion and I'm actually starting to think you're abusing the forum and have gotten tunnel visioned with just getting your own opinion through. Stop trying to threaten and bully people into submission. You post on my page saying you'll have me blocked because you have some sort of authority on the matter just because you don't like my edits.
They aren't breaking any rules and are in line with what previously has been the majority opinion on these pages which you are trying to remove. You feel like you have the right to bully and threaten to get your way, i respect that but i assure you that you have no such right. This type of behavior could have you blocked as trolling because of personal opinion isn't allowed. I read your opinion on Greta Thunberg for an example and they actually scare me. You seem to have a fixation about disliking her and trying to smear her good name with no sources or credibility which just isn't right, your personal bias is showing here which is highly unprofessional. I suggest you shape up a bit, to use your own rude language. -- Gaudi9223 ( talk) 11:32, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Stockholm shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
This is a content dispute - please take to the article talk page to discuss. Giant Snowman 10:33, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

This removal was improper and violated the rules at Third Opinion, which state: "If you are a party to a dispute and another party has requested an opinion it is improper for you to remove or modify the request, even if the request does not meet the requirements for a third opinion or because you do not want a Third Opinion. If you feel that the request does not meet the requirements for a third opinion and should be removed, post a request on the Third Opinion talk page to be evaluated by an uninvolved volunteer." But the best remedy is to just do nothing. If a 3O is given, you're free to ignore it since 3O's don't "count" towards consensus. I've reverted the removal. — TransporterMan ( TALK) 16:58, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Please explain to me why you think the article - you know perfectly well which article I mean - is "bogus". That is not a nice word to bandy around when the article had two good references.

I just wanted to pop in and thank you for all your work on the Bernadotte page. I appreciate you keeping things sane with the various languages and keeping the standards high.
I think I am one of the few scholars that specialize in Bernadotte in particular and I have made many edits on that page along with you. There are not many people super familiar with the subject.

Hi SergeWoodzing!
So I did some research as we seem to be in disagreement over the spelling of Charles XIV John's name in Swedish.
What I have found is that Bernadotte signed all his documents as King as Carl, he never used Karl. Also, his Royal Monogram cipher was a stylized "C."
Moreover, every source I have on Bernadotte, which is about ten books, refer to his use of "Carl" during his lifetime.
That said, the Official site for the Swedish Monarchy uses "Karl."
So, what is your opinion? Bernadotte spelled his name as Carl, but later sources use Karl.
Should not the monarch's spelling of his own name have precedence?
Let me know what you think, and thank you.
Best!
– SJCreecy (talk) 18:34, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Works for me! I am writing a book on Bernadotte, and primary source documents, and the variety of biographies, all in 3-4 languages, is both very challenging and rewarding. There are many points of view on Carl Johan.... Thanks again!
– SJCreecy (talk) 18:34, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi SergeWoodzing! I will check that book out! I am always looking for more sources and colleagues to collaborate with! I would be remiss to neglect the Prince Bernadotte subject. The problem with writing a bio on CXIVJ is that there are actually more bios on him than any of the other marshals (for good reason). Barton's magistral bio seems the definitive work and there is not much to add to his pre-1818 work. But I would like to go into more on his reign as King. And his legacy in Swedish and Norwegian politics. And, as a final gibe at Napoleon, how many more of his descendants sat on thrones, and married into other royal families compared to the Bonaparts.

Prince Karl Gustav (Karl Gustav von Pfalz-Zweibrücken) and Baroness Ludmilla (Ludmilla Bechyňové z Lažan) meet each other during Karl Gustav's participation in The Thirty Year War in Moravia. They had an affair at Château Tovačově and Horní Moštěnici in 1643. Ludmilla gave birth to son Karl Vaclav (Carolus Wenceslaus Jankoffsky) in Znojmo, Moravia in 1644.
After the Battle of Jankov in 1645, Prince Karl Gustav brought Karl Vaclav back with him to Sweden. Prince Karl Gustav paid for his education (Uppsala University, Oct. 5th,1646) and the young Karl lived with him on the Isle of Öland. In 1649 the widow Ludmilla needing financial aid sent a letter to Prince Karl Gustav in Sweden asking for support for herself and her two daughters (Sweden, a letter, dated April 19th, 1649). Prior to becoming King of Sweden Karl Gustav returned young Karl Vaclav to his mother Ludmilla in Moravia.
After Ludmilla's death in 1655 Karl X Gustav, King of Sweden, intervened in King's Tribunal in support of Karl Vaclav (Instructions Royal Tribunal in Brno dated January 12th,1656). Karl Vaclav was granted Coat of Arms, the title Baron Jankovský z Vlašimi and the ownership of the Château Rešice estate. Karl married Marií Františkou von Schaumburk, the daughter of Christoph ze Schaumburku and Apollonia von Stadion. They had two sons Karl Maximillian and Fredinand Leopold Jankovský z Vlašimi.Karl Vaclav Jankovský z Vlašimi (Carolus Wenceslaus Jankoffsky) died October 15, 1684 in Znojmo, Moravia.

Hi, thank you for your message and thoughtfulness! In reference to why I changed the names, I did it because that's how many of the other royal family trees are set up. As far as changing it in the future when they pass, the tree would have to be changed anyway (ie. Victoria would become queen, Daniel prince consort, Estelle crown princess, etc.; not to mention the boxes of the current king and queen would need to be made red). It does distinguish them as the present monarch and consort as opposed to a former/abdicated monarch (as is more common in monarchies outside of the UK such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Japan, etc.), and is how their names appear in the Swedish royal family template (and how other royal family templates are set up). Their names are also spelled out earlier in the article. I'm not dead set on it, so I'll be happy to change it back if you think that's best. However, I do think it speaks to continuity across other pages and templates. ~ Iamthecheese44 ( talk) 19:46, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
Sorry, I think your move of Chanson to French songs was not a good idea, and reverted it. The pieces in question, be it medieval or 20th century, are called chansons internationally. If you want to try a move anyway, I recommend a formal WP:RM, but see little chances for a success. Chanson is mentioned 64 times on the page, - that tells me enough about what the Common name is. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:59, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi SergeWoodzing!
I saw your revision on the sentence in the CXIVJ page on the Invasion of Swedish Pomerania. I saw that you thought that the "official" French reason for invasion, that Sweden was not adhering to the Continental System, was not encompassed in the citation. I have went back to confirm that it is mentioned in Barton (P. 32 of Barton's Bernadotte: Prince and King), and Scott's Bernadotte and the Fall of Napoleon, Pp. 12-13. But, in my error, or someone's, the wrong citation was provided for the immediate reference. There was a cite for Franklin's Sweden: The Nation's History that did not include that bit. I have since cleaned up the citation issue.
I am not going to push the point of restoring the older version, but I think it important to include the official French point of view, even if it was obviously not to be taken seriously.
What do you think?

Hello, I'm Smjg. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Charles XIV gustav. Please do not do this. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. As a rule, if you discover a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If a page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored.

Hi SergeWoodzing!
I hope you are well! I want to ask your opinion on a matter. I was editing the page on the Swedish-Norwegian War of 1814 and saw something rather odd. Someone had edited the info box claiming that the Swedish Army did not have 100 cannon "in their whole army," and thus changed the Swedish cannon establishment for the campaign to four batteries (12-16 cannon) for the invasion force of 45,000 men.
Needless to say, this is absurd given that the Swedes had far more than 100 cannon in their army and that Bernadotte had reformed the Swedish Army along French lines (to some extent), and that the given cannon establishment of the day for the French, and other powers in 1813-1815, was about 20-30 cannon per division, and with each corps level unit having a artillery park of its own of around 30-40 cannon. 43,000-45,000 troops is about four divisions, or two corps, so one figures that the establishment in total is probably well over 100 guns. Moreover, the invasion force was purposely besieging fortresses, a task that requires lots of artillery. Finally, it is well established that Bernadotte shared Napoleon's love of grande batteries, having used one of 150 at Dennewitz, and one of 200 at Leipzig.
While this is all known and can be cited as the typical make-up in terms of cannon that we may infer, I do not have a citation for an actual number of cannon used in the campaign by the Swedes and Swedish wiki also omits the total number. So while the 4 batteries listed is very obviously wrong, until I have a source giving me an exact number, I feel I cannot edit the number.
However, I am generally constrained by English language sources, which despite my large Bernadotte library I have no number, and a rather limited use of Swedish sources. As you are an acknowledged expert on Carl XIV Johan, I was wondering if you had any sources that may include the number of cannon in the campaign, or if you could point me toward a source or two on the matter.
As always, I enjoy working with you and I hope you have had a great holiday season! Best!

Hello, I wanted get your opinion on the new image being used for the info box of Charles XIV John I liked the old one better but don’t want to reverse it because I’ve had several interactions with the editor who uploaded it in the past and I know he’ll reverse it back. Just wanted to see what your opinion was about it if you think it looks good. Have a nice day! Orson12345 ( talk) 19:18, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

I wanted to explain my revert on Sigrid - your addition said the author had Olaf and Sigrid married earlier, but they split and that let them marry Gunhild and Sweyn repectively. The problem is that in the body of the article we name Gunhild as a wife of Sweyn, not of Olaf, according to Snorri, so there is a mismatch over who is marrying Gunhild. Please explain on Sigrid's Talk page so I can better understand what this author is saying (and the nature of the work - is it a historical study or historical fiction?)

SergeWoodzing, don't get going in removing assessments. We've had this discussion before, although it was some years ago. Kind regards, Tomas e ( talk) 20:47, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Tomas e. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Talk:Marianne Bernadotte have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Tomas e ( talk) 00:10, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
If you disagree with article assessment for a specific project you are more than welcome to reassess them, see general assessment FAQ. It is preferably that you use constructive edit summaries when doing so. When it comes to assessment there is, in my opinion, a wide grey zone between e.g. start-class and C-class or importance=low and importance=mid for a project, so reassessment is not a strange thing at all. But removal of assessments is simply not useful for the housekeeping of any Wikipedia project, since the resulting "NA" indicates that the article hasn't been checked out at all from an assessment point of view. And I plead with you not to start behave in the same way here as you did at Swedish Wikipedia over a long period of time. Regards, Tomas e ( talk) 00:10, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Hallå Serge, ville bara be om ursäkt för att jag var lite spydig tidigare. Var på lite dåligt humör, och blev irriterad, från vad jag har sett från dig på Wikipedia kanske jag inte håller med om allt du säger, men jag håller också med en hel del, och jag tycker att du verkar lustig och skön som person vilket kan vara sällsynt på den här sidan. För min del är konflikten löst, tycker personligen inte om formen men om den är standard så är den det. Du får ha en trevlig helg ;) TylerBurden ( talk) 15:30, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
Serge, you are accusing me of all sorts of things on my talk page and on Talk:Swedish Americans, so I'd like to remind you of the WP:GOODFAITH guideline because it seems to me you are doing the exact opposite at the moment and assuming I am acting in bad faith. I am trying to solve the dispute, not escalate it. TylerBurden ( talk) 22:48, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
Dear SergeWoodzing,
Thank you for the temporary fix on the House of Windsor page, and changing the picture representing Charles III. The person I was at an edit war and the person kept putting up a rather bad representing photo. In a week, (Counting from Oct 29th ((The day I sent the person a consensus notification)) So Nov. 5th) I will be changing the representing photo back to the cypher, until an official portrait or picture is released by The Royal Family.
If you have any questions or concerns please find my talk page.

Dear SergeWoodzing, I see you reverted the preceding edit to Alfred Nobel#Monuments and legacy saying in the edit summary "not in sourtce - we cannot know how he felt".
Here's a quote from the source: "Nobel was [...] tormented by the possible deadly uses of his discoveries". Do you not think that justifies the statement "Nobel was distraught that his discoveries might have been used for lethal purposes"? To me, the two sentences sound nearly identical in meaning.

Regarding your edit on H.E Count Nikolia page were you state the reason for changing the page you said he is no longer royal you are wrong he is still listed in the danish royals website as a member of the royal family and is still in line to the throne in denmark they do not have a royal house and a royal family like some other royal houses of europe thankyou H.K.H45 ( talk) 10:13, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

While you are correct that the "van" in "Jan van Risseghem" should not be capitalized in English, as is also the case for other prepositions that commence certain types of toponymic surnames (such as "de," "ten," "zu," "von," etc.), that is not because the "van" should never be capitalized but because, in that instance, the "van" is preceded by a capitalized word referring to the person in question. So, in English (and in Spanish; I'm not familiar enough with other languages' orthography rules to know if it applies to them as well), one would write "I spoke with Jan van Risseghem," "I spoke with Herr van Risseghem," "I spoke with Mr. van Risseghem" and "I spoke with Dr. van Risseghem," but one would also write "I spoke with Van Risseghem," "I spoke with my friend Van Risseghem" and, of course, "Van Risseghem spoke with him." I don't care enough about Jan van Risseghem's article to edit it again, so I leave it up to you. Cheers, AuH2ORepublican ( talk) 20:40, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
Stort tack för din gåva, boken Centuries of selfies. Jag hoppas att du inte ångrar varken gåvan eller din dedikation och beklagar att du lämnade sammankomsten så uppbragt.
Vad jag försökte förklara är: Möjligen har du uppfattat allting gällande de tre herrarna Bernadotte helt korrekt och du har all sanning på din sida. Men, det är inte Wikipedia du ska övertyga. Det är andra trovärdiga sammanslutningar och "samfund". Då finns det vederhäftiga källor, då kommer Wikipedia på köpet. Det är så det fungerar och ska fungera.
Och så finns det ingen cabal, eller enskild användare eller adminstratör på svenskspråkiga Wikipedia som alla fruktar och vars ord är lag.
Även jag önskar dig allt gott. Ta hand om dig. Och tack igen, din gåva är stort uppskattad. LittleGun ( talk) 20:13, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, but what exactly is your explanation for deleting all my changes at Oldenburg? You deleted the images of the ancestral seat in Oldenburg, of the coat of arms, and the two maps showing the duchy of Oldenburg. Also, you deleted the info that Oldenburg castle has been the ancestral seat of the house. And you deleted the info about the reigning dates of the house over their ancestral region.

Hi, I'm writing to you about the Hedwig of Holstein page. You seem knowledgeable on the subject, so I was wondering if you couldn't check her birth-death dates? In the infobox and in the introduction they are both different and it would be nice to be able to make them consistent. Have a good day Sira Aspera ( talk) 20:33, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Serge! Hope you’re doing well. I haven’t seen you around for awhile, probably because it’s been a bit since I’ve edited Swedish monarchs. I always found you very informative and dare I say an inspiration to me because of your vast knowledge of Swedish history. When I first stated editing I remember reading some of your responses in article talk pages and thinking “Damn, this guy knows everything”. Just wanted to wish you good things and a happy holiday.

so should be normal (ill)
Template:Interlanguage link link with both en-wiki and sv-wiki link?
However since there's no en-wiki about late
sv:Lars Flinckman so that would create unexisting en-wiki page (as in red link)
If I'm not wrong, from what I'm aware of past performances, Lars Flinckman was regular duo with
Christer Lindarw...though I'm also aware After Dark is a
Musical theatre group of team members too
hence had created direct link to sv-wiki since there's no en-wiki about Lars Flinckman and I definitely don't know Swedish...
so should be normal (ill) link with both en-wiki and sv-wiki link? or should be none at all (though seemed unusual given
sv:Lars Flinckman regular duo with
Christer Lindarw as explained above...
(was in
similar one even more so in zh-wiki, actually Chinese Wikipedia even more so
than Swedish Wikipedia....)

Are you someone who can assist with comment on the translation of Vasa as given in the explanatory footnote in the opening words of Vasa (ship)?
The footnote says that Vasa translates as fascine. I take this to mean the bundle of brushwood (or other material) used by military engineers to fill trenches and ditches. (Definition 1a in the Oxford English Dictionary.)
I believe this to be a mistranslation. I am no linguist, but as far as I can determine, the Swedish word vasa has two meanings: vase (as in the thing you put a bunch of flowers in) and sheaf (OED: One of the large bundles in which it is usual to bind cereal plants after reaping. Also, a similar bundle of the stalks or blooms of other plants). The clue to this is the symbol at the centre of the Vasa coat of arms, which seems to be a visual pun on the dual meaning of the word.
Looking at sources, we find (following on from an explanation of how "W" became "V" in modern Swedish):
"In the 17th century, the ship was not referred to as Wasa, but as Wasan or Wasen, which translates literally as "the Wasa" (the definite article is a suffix in Swedish)." (Cederlund, Carl Olof (2006) Vasa I, The Archaeology of a Swedish Warship of 1628, series editor: Fred Hocker ISBN 91-974659-0-9 pg 15)
I stuck a {{ citation needed}} on the footnote, but with no response – but it seems an easy thing to fix if you have a good translation.
If this isn't one for you, any thoughts on where I could go with this? Thanks, ThoughtIdRetired ( talk) 14:01, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
This has now raised its head in the article. It amounts to a failed verification template in the footnote in the first sentence of the text (after an edit back to "fascine") and a new subject on the talk page, where this discussion should probably move now..
