We have a problem. Help please.

Sorry but we have a problem. Some one is giving false info on the Islam in Iceland page. Giving false data. On the number of Muslims living in Iceland.

The Iclandic "Hagstofa" records everything of the matter. And their are 402 Muslims now living in Iceland.

http://hagstofa.is/?PageID=632&src=/temp/Dialog/varval.asp?ma=MAN10200%26ti=Mannfj%F6ldi+eftir+tr%FAf%E9l%F6gum+og+skr%E1ningu+1994%2D2008+++++++++++++%26path=../Database/mannfjoldi/Trufelog/%26lang=3%26units=fjöldi

Iceland is a very small country with a very small population so most things like this are recorded. I just want something done about this persons account who is making this false info editing.

I care about this website and always want to give facts with links to suport them. False info editing is a problem we need to deal with.

Thanks in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AdalDrottinn (talk • contribs) 22:52, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Figured out how to access the referenced article and made the following change "The Association of Muslims in Iceland had 341 members in 2006<ref name="US">[http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/irf/2006/71385.htm International Religious Freedom Report 2006]</ref>, which had grown to 402 in 2008<ref>{{cite web | title = Statistics Iceland | date = 2009 | url = http://www.statice.is/Statistics/Population/Religious-organizations | format = English | accessdate = 29 August 2009}}</ref>." Hopefully this addresses your concerns - if not send me another note.

Thanks - Williamborg (Bill) 23:47, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your responds. I hope you can help me add some links. Also sorry to bother you. There are about 600 people in Iceland that have a backround from a country that has majority Muslim population. Some are of Bahai faith and most are Muslim. So the false claim that more than 1200 Muslims live here holds no water. That wouled mean that we had a few hundred Icelandic converts that didnt want to register as Muslims for some reson. The claim is ridiculous. If he/she had claimed it were 500-600 in stead of 402 I would have left it alone. I live in Reykjvík btw and never see any Muslims here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AdalDrottinn (talk • contribs) 00:13, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"clastic dike" not "clastic flow"

Thanks for uploading photos on the Touchet Formation of Washington state. I noticed an error in the caption for one of the photos (4th from top). It should read "Clastic dike penetrating Touchet layers. Photo taken in a road cut several miles up the Touchet Valley." Change "flow" to "dike" for accuracy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.126.142.137 (talk) 14:19, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of the link to the website containing pictures of all national parks of Norway

Hello, on the 'List of national parks of Norway' there was my link to the website covering all existing and planned national parks of Norway (Goahteluoppal, Sjunkhatten etc. - I also updated the Wiki page with these parks) but it has been deleted by anti-spammers. The link was www.garycki.com/NORWEGIAN_NATIONAL_PARKS.html. It might have been considered as the 'self-promotion'. Please consider readdition of the link (I am not allowed to do so) if you find the source valuable. Some upload of pictures to Wikipedia may also be considered with the correct crediting. Also other links to www.garycki.com disappeared: from Lists of national parks of Sweden, Poland, Slovakia and Germany. [1] [2] [3] [4] The same ask for help regards these links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.60.217.12 (talk) 12:00, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hanford Site

Uranium Trioxide / Uranium Oxide plant - thanks for pointing that out... i tried to fix it. i combined it all into on and added info/refs. see what you think.

obviously the subject of processing facilities at hanford could have its own page but i dont feel like making it.

as for the 'see also' section, i have no idea why i put stuff in there. i just thought 'hmm,,, how about mentioning some other nuclear resrearch sites in the USA'. it seemed a bit silly to have a page on hanford without mentioning any of the other sites that it routinely interacted with an that were a part of the nuclear complex of the US. please feel free to delete/rerrange/add/whatever.

i think maybe eventually they need one of those big infobox type things at the bottom of the page, you know, like they have for other areas of interest.

thanks again for catching my mistake!!!!!!!!!! Decora (talk) 22:20, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Norway

It is of interest to note that among the more populous nations the nation with the highest per capita generation of electrical energy according to data in the annual World Almanac (data for 2005) is Norway. The generation in billions of kilowatthours is 135.8, the population is 4,627,926, and this results in a per capita figure of 29,344 kwhs per annum per person. The fact that hydro is plentiful evidently in Norway and that some, perhaps much, of the energy is sold to neighboring nations, even nations across the Baltic straits, might be a factor. Even so, this is more than twice the per capita generation of the U.S., often considered to be the nation with the greatest energy appetite. It also might be noted that other nations, including Canada and Sweden, rank higher than the U.S. and Finland comes in close behind. It would be of interest to me if this might be verified by others as a matter to be made more widely known. 66.81.246.73 (talk) 02:02, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Medicinernes Skiklub Svartor

Hello. I am contacting you because you are listed as a participant for WikiProject Norway, and the above-mentioned article is sourced by all Norwegian-language references. Moreover, the references do not appear to support notability; they might be mere trivial references to the subject. Since these sources are all offline, and I do not speak or read Norwegian, I'm hoping whether you can assist me in determining whether the article qualifies for speedy deletion. Many thanks! - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 12:30, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've already had responses - sorry about the delay, but the real world is taking a bit of time these days. The article is not highly notable, but not a candidate for speedy deletion either. Skål - Williamborg (Bill) 18:14, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 20:11, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Beagel (talk) 16:24, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply] Cirque de Navacelles I noticed your latest intelligent edit on the Cirques page- as a non geologists- I remain frustrated by the use of the ambiguous term, to refer just to corries and cwms. The problem I have is that I annually pass the Cirque de Navacelles and the fr:Cirque du Bout de Monde, in Herault which are fluvial cirques in Kaarst landscape while I have many times visited the Cirque de Gavarnie which is a classic glacial cwm. The error permeates many articles- and spreads onto commons. Do you have the time, knowledge and inclination to try sort out the mess. The French link leads to a category giving other fluvial cirques, I really haven't the geology references in English needed to do this myself but will give all assistance. --ClemRutter (talk) 23:22, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply] Response at ClemRutter's talk page.

I am a Wind Energy Enthusiast and I came across your image of the wind turbine blade with vortex generators installed. Would you happen to have more images of that same blade or similar blades you could share? Do you happen to know which type turbine this was installed on? Response: Don't find any more of those photos - they were taken in Aug 2009, and I've replaced the computer so I can no longer find them (2 computer replacements = 1 fire). Believe is was a Siemens turbine - 2.3MW SWT-2.3 series - but am not sure. The photos of those Siemens units on the web do not include a closeup image to confirm the vortex technology. Also where and when was this image taken? The date and time says Aug 2009 is that correct? Response: As I recall, that was in the rail yard at the Port of Pasco, Washington state. The date is correct. A number of them arrived by rail and were being transshipped to truck for installation in the Horse Heaven Hills.
