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, just tried logging in and it says my account has been disabled. Looks like I'm superfluous to requirements... Mattythewhite (talk) 12:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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]

I did very recently find a short mentioning of Løken Tore Pryser's 2007 book Kvinner i hemmelige tjenester: Etterretning i Norden under den annen verdenskrig. I'll add some from that soon. Manxruler (talk) 18:55, 10 December 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]

Done SS Irma and SS Henry written and nommed. Other ships to follow when I have the time. Manxruler (talk) 18:55, 24 January 2009 (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]

Hello. Thank you for the reminder about these categories. I stopped working on clearing them out because it seemed like such a huge task, and I had made some mistakes (leaving out the Category:Fooian expatriate footballers). Also, it seems some people want to delete the expatriate footballer categories completely. However, since an admin has been deleting the empty categories, I'll make a new effort at clearing them. Best regards. Jogurney (talk) 14:07, 11 December 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]

Thanks for looking over/editing article on Halden Hound

I have added 2 references. This is my first article, and I am unsure how many references I should have. What do you suggest? (Stanleyeddy (talk) 06:01, 24 November 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks again! I was confused about how to list references, but believe I understand now. I appreciate your help.(Stanleyeddy (talk) 18:29, 24 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]

100 DYK Medal

		The 100 DYK Medal
		I hereby bestow this (slightly belated) honor in recognition of crossing the DYK century mark. Your efforts to expand the encyclopedic content on people, places and all other things Norwegian -- a drastically underrepresented portion of Wikipedia -- is only enhanced by the fact that almost all of these articles were created and expanded directly by you. Keep up the great work! Remember, 200 is not far away. Alansohn (talk) 15:37, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well done Victuallers (talk) 19:54, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Democrats

Congratulations with the 100 DYKs! You've been spitting them out like a fax machine gone bananas ;)

To the point: Any idea what ideology the Democrats of Norway hail to? Probably some sort of libertarianism, but what type? Their web site is silent on the issue (though not on the particulars of their interest). Arsenikk ^(talk) 22:28, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Their party is a strange breed. Some libertarian views ("don't waste taxpayer money", free trade), but on the other hand anti-EU, pro-armed interventions abroad, more discipline and police, tougher on drugs but softer on alcohol, less immigration, some Christian conservative views, "family values". Coupled with excplicitly pro-Israel views one could be tempted to label them as a European version of the Christian right. Sure, I've heard the term "populist" be applied before, but that's hardly very descriptive in itself (also, is it even logical that a party with 0.1% of the votes is populist?)

Zanzibar 1964 template

Many thanks for creating this template and adding it to the British plan articles. It is a very useful addition. Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 12:26, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

review

Hi Punkmorten. Please review your actions at Neatypus obliquus and comment on the following:

You deleted a ref no such family as neatypus". Clearly I would know this, I just stubbed the monotypic genus. Why did you not fix it?
I happen to agree that it should not be at the name of the genus,[1] it was done in accordance with the guidelines. Can you show me where and when this changed? Thanks – cygnis insignis 16:38, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi! (1) When I clicked on the original link, I got the message "Family does not exist." Obviously there was a mistake, so I tried to change the "family" parameter to "genus", but that didn't work. To fix it, I now realize that I FishBase family should be replaced by FishBase species. I didn't know at the time. (2) I don't know of any change. The rationale "when a genus has only one species, the genus name should be a redirect to the species" was taken from Category:Redirects from monotypic taxa, which contains hundreds of genus names that are redirects. To make the genus name a redirect, I moved the page. Punkmorten (talk) 16:58, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply, I think deleting a ref deserves a notice if you are unable to fix an obvious error. I must have used the reference?! I found the source of that recent change to a long standing convention, someone was well intentioned, but surprisingly unilateral and bold. I came to strike the question. There are quite a few articles under that arrangement, as with the flora here, some further discussion is likely to arise before a large scale change to TOL. cygnis insignis 17:19, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Beret Bråten

Hi Morten. FYI. Beret Bråten has been prodded by User:Nicki Tvedt. Rettetast (talk) 22:03, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you agree with it? Punkmorten (talk) 22:25, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'am not sure about it. The Stortinget bio page is down at the moment. Members of the national assembly are notable per WP:BIO. It does not say anything deputy representatives. It looks like a bordeline case of notability. The "new" user has sure made himself familiar with different policies though. Funny with SPAs (so far) that is only interested in such a low profile article. Rettetast (talk) 22:58, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the link. It is true that she were deputy number five, so she did not actually meet in a parliamentary session. If they met, they're definitely notable (being a de facto legislator). I don't normally create articles about people who haven't met. Back then I thought the combination of the three was interesting enough to write about, though.

Ingrid Espelid pic byline

Hei. (In English for the record): I noticed you removed the template {{byline|Jarle Vines}} from the Ingrid Espelid image I put up. Is it because you know from experience we're not obliged to post such a byline, or because you didn't look at the attribution conditions? I thought this was a must, so if you could share with me your reasoning.. Cheers, MURGH ^disc. 23:04, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More out of old habit, since the template did not exist in en:wiki until recently. Don't worry, I won't be warring over it. That said, I strongly disagree that the photographer be credited within articles. Our writers, copyeditors etc don't make such a demand. Can one even consider an image released under such conditions "free"? Punkmorten (talk) 23:15, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm with you and would much rather avoid it if it won't cause problems. The credit is a click away for anyone to see anyway. For a hook, how about "..is considered the "culinary mother" of Norway..?" The translation isn't such a leap and sources plentiful. MURGH ^disc. 23:32, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Let's try that. You could link mother like this: mother. Punkmorten (talk) 08:35, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My initial thought was that is a great link to use, but isn't there a distinction between "mother of.." and "—mother" ? Espelid is influential but not exactly to Norwegian food culture as Daguerre is to photo, as Marx is to communism? I must admit I'm not crystal clear about the Norwegian expression either, if it is the primary meaning or a double entendre of matmor that is "provider of food to a pet".. MURGH ^disc. 10:35, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Answer to first question: yes, you may be right. The former has to do with birth and the latter with care. Punkmorten (talk) 19:12, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I seem to remember reading somewhere (in a featured article on Dagbla' or Aftenposten) that an authority in the field [of hairdressing trends] claimed she was the trend setter for all old women in Norway's hair styles, i.e. the expert claimed that most Norwegian women have the same hair style because of her. If verifiable and used as a hook, this would remove mother from the discussion, if that is our largest concern here on the encyclopedia. Arsenikk ^(talk) 21:57, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Crazy, but I have actually read that article. Rettetast (talk) 22:06, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I considered the DN article claim, but thought it would be too long to phrase it correctly where there is needed a snappy hook. The nom is up so we'll see how it is received. MURGH ^disc. 23:56, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My DYKs

Hi Morten. I was having a look at your latest contributions to see if there was something interesting in my field of interest coming up when I noticed User:Manxruler/DYK. Thanks for creating it, I shall add a link to it on my user page. One question; it seems you feel that I should have some credit for my work on Kjeld Stub Irgens, and I agree with regards to that. Does this mean I can add Irgens to my official DYK list and count? Manxruler (talk) 22:52, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~:I'll just be bold and go ahead and add it. Thanks.~~ Or rather, seeing as I don't have a DYK credit notice on my talk page, I don't really feel comfortable doing that. If you feel I should have credit for Irgens, then please add the relevant DYK notice tag on my talk page. Cumbersome, I know, but I like doing things as much as possible by the book. Manxruler (talk) 22:55, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding Irgens to my list. All I need now is for a talk page DYK tag. I've seen it added retrospectively before, so I don't think it would be a problem if you went ahead and did that too using {{subst:UpdatedDYK|date|year|Article name}}. Manxruler (talk) 23:59, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

interest, My field of

Ah, yes. Administrasjonsrådet isn't exactly the easiest thing in Norwegian history to find information on. I'll have a look through my book collection tomorrow evening and see if I can find something on Eger. Great work on all the biographical articles, by the way. I particularly like the very recent one on Ingrid Espelid Hovig. Manxruler (talk) 00:14, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Having gone through my books I have regrettably been unable to track any information at all on C. W. Eger. I'm sure there are books that deals with him and the other members of the Administrative Council, but in any case I don't have them in my collection. It's still good enough for a DYK nom and I suggest that you go ahead and do that. Manxruler (talk) 19:40, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I heard about Kayser passing the other day. What do you say we collaborate on writing and DYK-nominating an article on him? I believe I have quite a few books that mention him and there should be plenty of obituaries on him now. Manxruler (talk) 15:48, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lazy journalists... You're right, of course. We can't use any of the articles if they're based on that completely unreferenced Norwegian Wikipedia article. I have found some other sources that I deem reliable and I'll start adding them soon. Manxruler (talk) 18:57, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since you did such a good job yesterday, can you take a look at it now.
