User blocking

Hi, thanks for your message re user 193.112.229.153. That user has now been blocked for vandalism. Wikipedia has a system for dealing with this type of user - see WP:VAND for the full details. If a user is found to be vandalising a series of templates are put on their user page warning them that they are breaking the rules - if they continue they are blocked for a period, as has now happened with the Moose vandal. If you want to help out - take a look through that page and at the bottom you'll find some tools to help find vandals and put things right. Kcordina 13:26, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anne Stine Ingstad

I see that you speak Norwegian. Can you please check my addition of the maiden name of Ann Stine as 'Moe'. I found it in the New York Times obituary, but when I googled for it I could only find Norwegian sources, which I couldn't read. If you could verify it for me, I would be greatful. Cheers.

How does one translate «den vakre» ?

The term «den vakre» exceeds both my Norwegian vocabulary and my dictionaries. The name Frier comes from the old Norse and means «den vakre» or the watchman? Any help would be appreciated. Williamborg 23:27, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite sure what you mean. What is the context? --Grumpy444grumpy 19:40, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Apologies for dropping that queston on you without context.

I'm improving my Norwegian by translating Norwegian Wiki articles into English.

While trying to translate the last sentence in the article at no:Frierfjorden into English. I found myself up against a word which I couldn't decipher from context or from any of the dictionaries I have.

Since you appear to be proficient in both English & Norwegian, I took the liberty of asking you (albeit poorly).

Any chance you can help?

Tusen takk - Williamborg 19:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate your response. And feel somewhat better about being confused by it. Thanks - Williamborg 00:25, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Valdres Folkemuseum

I need someone to check out my english spelling in the addition to the article about Valdres Folkemuseum. Hopefully I found the right buildings! — John Erling Blad (no) 20:20, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was pleasure working with you on this. --Philip Baird Shearer 22:08, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tune Ship

Hello, I recently ran across the article Tune Ship, which you created. The article is unreferenced, and I was wondering if you knew of any references for it. Thanks, ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 15:58, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Grumpy444grumpy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Grumpy444grumpy~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
