This image means alot to me, since I have lived in Greenland and seen the Northern Lights many times. One of the most spectacular times was in the middle of the night while on a reindeer hunting expedition in the bottom of Godthåb fjord.
I shot four deer (including Rudolph) in one day that time.....;-) It's the finest tasting lean red meat one can imagine.
Any sightings of Unidentified Flying Reindeer since then are sightings of imposters!

I am the target of cyberstalking and hate mail from some pretty unbalanced people and regularly receive threats (including occasional death threats). While I don't normally have any reason to hide my true identity, any past revealings by myself should not be construed by others as license to do it here at Wikipedia, where only my "Fyslee" tag should be used.

My own and my family's security is at stake here, and I would appreciate support in this matter. Thanks. -- Fyslee (collaborate)

WP:Greenland

Hi Fyslee

Thanks for your message. I am interested in Greenland but I've never been there myself. I've signed up for WP:Greenland, but - to be frank - I will not have the time to make any Greenland-related edits for the next two-three months since I'll very soon have to reduce my editing time due to work IRL. When I get more time, I'll mostly be able to contribute regarding the politics of Greenland and perhaps a little geography. My main area of contributions relate to Denmark and WP:Denmark has only a limited number of contributors, so my first priority is still the part of Denmark south of the Faroes. I hope WP:Greenland will be a success but I just wish I had more time. Happy editing. Valentinian ^{T / C} 10:08, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Det forstår jeg godt. Jeg frygter at der ikke er særlig mange Grønlandsk interesserede på den Engelsk Wikipedia, men jeg skal forsøg at samle interessen, ellers må jeg gør hvad jeg kan alene. Mvh. -- Fyslee/talk 10:12, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Jeg er bange for at der heller ikke er det på den danske. Under alle omstændigheder må du have held og lykke med projektet, og jeg glæder mig til at læse resultatet. Mvh Valentinian ^{T / C} 13:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Grønland er et stort emne, og det kan beskrives på mange måder. Som en af dem der har nydt den storslået natur og jagtoplevelser, jeg synes det er syndt at naturen ikke bliver fremhævet mere. Jeg håber at jeg kan gøre lidt til at hjælpe på det felt. -- Fyslee/talk 13:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Made the move at your suggestion, and created {{WikiProject Greenland}} Chris 23:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Great! Now we can get to work. Wikipedia:WikiProject Greenland has lots of potential. I'll try to track down people and get attention for the project. -- Fyslee/talk 05:49, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Hej Fyslee. Jeg har fået din email om wp:greenland. Jeg er interesseret men kan ikke bidrage med nogle former for organisation - jeg kan kun bidrage med artikel indhold omkring emner som, grønlandsk sprog og kultur, og politiske problematikker i forhold til grønlands indfødte folks rettigheder etc.·Maunus· ·ƛ· 11:04, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Det er godt nok. Projektet har brug for input på mange felter. -- Fyslee/talk 12:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

New article: Reindeer hunting in Greenland

I have finally gone public with my new article:

• Reindeer hunting in Greenland

Let's hope it doesn't get butchered by PETA activists.... -- Fyslee/talk 07:37, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

The article or the reindeer;) I couldn't resist. ---- Dēmatt (chat) 17:40, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Now it's open for editing by others. You're welcome to try and help it become a featured article. I sought some advice and copied it to the talk page. -- Fyslee/talk 20:12, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

It looks very promising. How did you know I was lacking material for Portal:Denmark? Valentinian ^{T / C} 22:43, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I hope we can get more editors to work on it, especially some with experience from Greenland. Even lacking that, it would be an advantage to get more Danish editors on it, simply because most of the information is in Danish. Can you contact other Danes and get them interested? -- Fyslee/talk 07:03, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Have you posted a comment to the Danish Wikipedians' notice board? That might do the trick. Valentinian ^{T / C} 15:45, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

I had totally forgotten that page. Now I've done it. I wonder if you could list it in the appropriate place at Wikipedia:WikiProject Greenland? I'm not sure of where to do it. -- Fyslee/talk 23:14, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar

I Angelbo award you this Barnstar for your article about Reindeer hunting in Greenland

That is a fantastic article you created there.
Best regards Mads Angelbo ^{Talk / Contribs} 12:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the suggestion, I have not yet been to Greenland, but I hope of going there some time in the near furture. I think there is something realxing about northen lights and snow landscapes without foot prints. As to the article, I think it is great, and perhaps thre should be some articles about hunting and fishing in Greenland in general, but I am not the best person to write about theese subjects. Mads Angelbo ^{Talk / Contribs} 13:43, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

I can highly recommend a trip to Greenland (and I'm not the slightest bit biased...wink...wink!) Make it a high priority and you'll get there. If you know someone there it's even better, as they can be your guide and take you on boating trips into the fjords. -- Fyslee/talk 13:46, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Portal:Denmark

Hi Fyslee

You might wish to check out Portal:Denmark when your time zone shifts to Monday. Valentinian ^{T / C} 22:20, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

It's already early Monday morning here. What should I look for? -- Fyslee/talk 22:22, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Provided that the server agrees that we've shifted to week 18? This and that related to Greenland. :) Valentinian ^{T / C} 22:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Which I just realised that it probably hasn't realised yet. When I took an extra look, it claimed that "server time" was 22:42 (Sunday), so it might be a little more than one hour from now. Valentinian ^{T / C} 22:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Are you referring to some place at the portal that mentions the time and date? -- Fyslee/talk 22:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

No, I checked "My preferences" and it looks like the server follows Greenwich time. Valentinian ^{T / C} 22:51, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

The messages here have times that are two hours behind time. -- Fyslee/talk 22:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I don't know why. Anyway, I presume the server will shift to Monday sooner or later. Valentinian ^{T / C} 22:55, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

I imagine so. It did it last week and the week before....;-) -- Fyslee/talk 22:56, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Would you take a look at the Reindeer hunting in Greenland article talk page and comment on the formatting and style issues? -- Fyslee/talk 22:56, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

I gave it a quick look, and this is will unfortunately have to be brief, as I've got to get up very early tomorrow. The things that I noticed were the centred image descriptions and the lists. I personally prefer image descriptions that use the standard format and I prefer images to more consistently use one standard size, around 200 pixels or so. Some editors are concerned about lists breaking the flow of the prose, and if you could convey the same information using slightly more prose-like text, I think that would be a good idea. Just my 2 cents. Valentinian ^{T / C} 23:17, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
