Hi

Can you please protect this talk page. Look at the history. Monster Under Your Bed ^(talk) 09:58, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~I don't think we protect someone's talk page from the user itself. Punkmorten (talk) 10:01, 27 October 2008 (UTC)~~[reply]

It crashes your browser. They will not get unblocked no matter what. I think you will be doing him a favour, saving him from himself ;) Monster Under Your Bed ^(talk) 10:02, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, when I looked at it, it messed up by browser. Do I dare to touch it again? Punkmorten (talk) 10:04, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, just fully protect and get this over and done with Monster Under Your Bed ^(talk) 10:12, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fritzpoll took care of it. At first he did half the job, now its fully done. And now we wait... Monster Under Your Bed ^(talk) 10:13, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ballaugh

Thanks for your message. That's an interesting one! There is clearly then no real consensus for the exact translation. Not really sure what to do though? Would it be best to take out the translation and just leave the Manx wording maybe for now? What I will do though is send some emails to try and find out what it should be. cheers, --♦Tangerines♦·Talk 15:20, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Odd Isaachsen Willoch

Absolutely within my field of interest. I'll dig through my library for more on Willoch, and then let's co-DYK nom him. Manxruler (talk) 04:30, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's good enough for DYK, although in a few hours I'll have gone through some more sources for some more details. As with Rushen I'll still add a few more things before trying for GA. Manxruler (talk) 13:54, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your DYK submission of Thune

Hello! Your submission of Thune at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed. Politizer 03:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I verified your hook. Just in case you don't notice there, I also left a comment asking if you could provide some translations (in the footnotes) of the relevant parts of the Norwegian sources, before the article gets to the main page. Thanks! Politizer 13:56, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Better articles

Fair enough, the only reason I don't use those templates is because I'm a really lazy person. but don't forget - you have to wikilink dates (unless Mediawiki has improved this aspect in the past year or so), because otherwise they don't format correctly. In short, you can set in "preferences" how you want your dates (eg. M D Y or D M Y) and that only applies if you wikilink the dates. but again I could be wrong about this too, my knowledge of Wikipedia's technical subtleties stops at around 2007 or so... ugen64 (talk) 16:59, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re:Rønneberg

Hi Morten. I do have info on Rønneberg, I believe, somewhere. If I have the time then I'll look and see if I can find them tomorrow. This could make a very nice expand-nom. Manxruler (talk) 21:54, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think? Is Rønneberg expanded five times now? Manxruler (talk) 08:47, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead and nominate it. I don't really have the time today. Just checked in to see if you'd replied. Thanks, by the way. :) Manxruler (talk) 21:18, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just co-nominated Rønneberg. Manxruler (talk) 19:41, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Expatriate footballers categories

Hi, have you noticed that User:Raymond Cruise keeps removing category entries, I've reverted a few which I had in my watchlist, but there is still a lot of edits he have made =( Do you know why he has done this???

re:My field of interest

Sure. :) I'll have a look around, just as soon as I got back, heading out to go Christmas shopping now. Manxruler (talk) 13:03, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think that Arne Sunde, the politician, is the same as Arne Sunde, the officer? THat would be fascinating. Manxruler (talk) 16:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, yes he is. I'm on this one. Manxruler (talk) 16:55, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You don't by any chance have access to some personal/family info on Sunde, do you? Manxruler (talk) 02:47, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Will fix info for first nom now. Manxruler (talk) 12:21, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wondered what was unclear. :) All good then. Although I must admit, that I've misread the Korean War bit somewhat. I'll go back to the noms and correct the nom. Stay tuned. Manxruler (talk) 14:54, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2 provided. Manxruler (talk) 15:16, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lol. I wondered whop that was. What do you have? It's the weekend, I have some free time. By the way, I haven't found anything on Astrid Løken yet, but I have one more place to look. Strangely enough, she wasn't in my book on women in the Norwegian resistance movement. Manxruler (talk) 22:57, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, these are articles that should be written, and I'm quite familiar with ship articles. As to Irma I've even spoken to a close friend of the Norwegian naval officer that fired the torpedoes, not that it matters here on Wikipedia. I've got the necessary books, I can get on it tomorrow with regards to Irma and also the cargo ship Henry, the ship that was sunk in the same incident. Manxruler (talk) 23:16, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice that the articles already have images ready. Manxruler (talk) 23:19, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as Irma will require at least a double nom, preferably a quadruple nom, I'll do Sanct Svithun first. Irma is also the most controversial and will require the most research. I'm on the case, though. Manxruler (talk) 12:57, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done SS Sanct Svithun written and nommed. Manxruler (talk) 05:16, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Danish expatriate footballers in Norway

Hello. I know that you are an active and helpful member of WP:FOOTY and wanted to make sure you agreed with the Project's consensus on "triple-intersect" categories like this. I noticed you reverted my edit to Allan Gaarde's article, but I was trying to move these categories to the parent Category:Expatriate footballers in Norway per a CfD and consensus on the WP:FOOTY talk page. Please join the discussion there if you disagree. Best regards. Jogurney (talk) 14:59, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted you because I felt it wasn't justified (the edit summary did not hint towards this either), but after that I read some discussions on some talk pages, and I won't revert no more. If a consensus has been formed I don't have objections against that. Punkmorten (talk) 22:21, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BD has become Lifetime

Hi Morten. Turns out that BD (Birth-Death) has been replaced by Lifetime, that is Template:BD now redirects to Template:Lifetime. I think we should start using Lifetime on the biography articles. Manxruler (talk) 11:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Stein H. Annexstad

A tag has been placed on Stein H. Annexstad requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Nuttah (talk) 08:15, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't get the chance to respond in the first place, but the article is in way better shape now. Punkmorten (talk) 13:14, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Andreas Thorkildsen under GA review

Hi there, I see that you are a primary contributor to the article Andreas Thorkildsen. This article has come under review for Good article reassessment as part of GA Sweeps and a number of problems have been identified which are listed on the talk page. Please begin to address these points in the next seven days or the article will be delisted from GA and will have to go through the WP:GAN process all over again to regain its status once improvements have been made. If you have any questions, please drop me a line.--Jackyd101 (talk) 18:12, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've given up.. The article needs a thorough update to fully reflect his career post-late 2006. It 'would' be nice if someone else could give it a copyedit though, as I'm not a native speaker. Punkmorten (talk) 21:25, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ellen Hambro

Proposed deletion of Ellen Hambro

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ellen Hambro, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
