Vildanden

Hei! Welcome to Wikipedia. And welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject Norway; we can use all the help we can get.

Just made a very minor edit to the excellent article you contributed, Vildanden (airline). Overall an extremely nice bit of work (and especially exceptional for a new contributor). The last sentence of Vildanden puzzles me though; could you perhaps confirm it is correct as written?

Tusen takk - Williamborg 13:39, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks. What I meant anyway is that the aircraft has www.vildanden.no on the side and the duck logo on the tailplane. Fixed up the sentence a litte. Hope its ok now, if not, be bold. Otherwise I will be trying to go through all the norwegian airport and airline articles and upgrading them, and the odd local bit on Trøndersk stuff Arsenikk 23:07, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Your current edit reads very well now! Appreciate your taking the time to make it clear. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Williamborg 01:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
  • Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
  • Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, or periods.

License tagging for Image:Alcoa logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Alcoa logo.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Trøndelag

Nice to see another Norwegian join the Wikipedia. Good to have someone who understands Norwegian topics well.

I modified your Trøndelag edit, citing what I thought the relevant Wikipolicy (see discussion page for Trøndelag). If you've got an alternate policy to cite, let's talk; we need to get it straightened out (i.e., get the policy requirements consistent). Skål - Williamborg (Bill) 04:10, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

DYK

Updated DYK query On 14 September, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Coop NKL, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Congratulations! Keep up the good work! --Srikeit (Talk | Email) 08:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Iran Air destinations

Hi. I see you recently created Iran Air destinations. Did you know there was also Iran Air Destinations? (I think your spelling is better.) Do you have a view what is best to do about this? (I won't be editing either - I just noticed Qeshm was linked to by both, and thought that odd.) 195.128.251.215 09:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Flags in airline articles

I noticed you've been adding the infobox to a bunch of airlines. There are quite a few to do, so any contributions in that area are great. However, there have been a couple discussions on putting flags next to city names and the decision was to leave them out, so please just put the city (and country) name in the infobox, but not the flags. Thanks. DB (talk) 00:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Citations for Rapid transit

Hi there. First of all, thank you for improving the article. It's in much better shape. I was going over some of the citaions you've provided, and I'm concerned about their credibility. Wikipedia can only use sources as described by WP:RS. Sites like UrbanRail.net should generally be avoided because they're self published. Thanks! -- Selmo (talk) 22:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

BTW, if you're interested, feel free to join WikiProject Rapid transit.
Updated DYK query On December 7, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article History of Rapid transit, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thankyou Arsenikk for helping to give transportation content representation on DYK! Happy editing, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:03, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Verran Sparebank

Hei, fin artikkel om Verran Sparebank, men jeg måtte skrive den om pga av fusjon med Grong Sparebank. Tar du den også? De har jo blitt en interessant regional faktor i Nord-Trøndelag.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Airport Helgeland

Hi Arsenikk! You may be interested in this AFD debate, and wonder if you have anything to add about it. From what I can see, the justification for the article is dubious, but there may of course be supporting sources which I have failed to find and which would justify a Wikipedia article. I have seen that you frequently have better sources than I do on transportation issues so any contribution to that discussion would be welcome. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Flytoget logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Flytoget logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:SpareBank_1_logo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:SpareBank_1_logo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 04:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Gardermoen_Aerial_View.jpeg

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Gardermoen_Aerial_View.jpeg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 21:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Midtnorsk Helikopter

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Midtnorsk Helikopter, by Russavia (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Midtnorsk Helikopter seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Midtnorsk Helikopter, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 21:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Norwegian hospitals

It's a fine box you have made for Norw. hospitals! Som proposals: State-Run agencies could be Government agencies, to make clear that these are not enterprises like the HF. Eastern and Southern was fusioned by June 1 this year into South-East. Norw. Board og Health ... is now named Norwegian Board of Health Supervision.

Notability of ErgoGroup

A tag has been placed on ErgoGroup requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb 18:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Nor-Cargo

A tag has been placed on Nor-Cargo, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb 22:08, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that

As you probably know already, the new page patrol is entirely voluntary and I decided to give it a shot. I have nominated, I believe, about 30 articles today for speedy deletion, and all but three of them have been deleted - two of those being kept were yours, the third one had been substantially modified by the time the tag was removed. In many other articles I have added the {{clean}}, {{unsourced}}, and/or {{wiki}} tags which are not requests for administrator intervention, but rather an invitation for article improvement. Sometimes, in this kind of work, we are to exert judgment - and sometimes judgment fails.

I once had one of my own articles marked for speedy deletion, only to see the request declined. All I can tell you is, that sort of things happens. That it happened to the same person twice on the same day is... well... not particularly enjoyable for that person. But I am happy, under the circumstances, after reviewing what I was asking for, that my request was declined. --Blanchardb 22:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Institute for Research in Economics and Business Administration

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Institute for Research in Economics and Business Administration, 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 explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of the page.

Norway coverage

Hi, it's time to appreciate your focus on Norway-related articles, particularly the many companies, agencies, organizations etc. It helps readers understand Norway better. It is a real shame that you have to put up with the widespread speedying, prodding and afd'ing of your articles. If you like, feel free to let me know in case of an AFD etc.

As you might have noticed I like to create articles on Norwegian things as well, but I mostly concentrate on various biographies and sports. After seeing your last creation (Terra) I started to think about other similar topics we need, i.e. Finance Credit, Carl Fredrik Seim, The 5 Percent Community. I don't really like to "pile" tasks on other editors, but you do these things well, so... If you have no objections I might bring some future requests to your attention. Feel free to do the same the other way around. Punkmorten (talk) 13:16, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but...

Hi... this time I'm very sorry to nag on you like everyone else, but I really don't reckon Norwegian mayors are notable (and worthy of inclusion) unless they did something special. I think I will actually AFD Ole Tronstad. WP:AFDP says "Municipal politicians: Municipal politicians are not inherently notable just for being in politics, but neither are they inherently non-notable just because they're in local politics — evaluate each case on its own individual merits. Mayors of major cities have usually survived AFD, although the article should say more than just "Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville". Mayors of smaller towns, however, are generally deemed not notable just for being mayors, although they may be notable for other reasons in addition to their mayoralty". I unfortunately believe Tronstad fails. The similar case could be made for the mayors of Hemnes, Hattfjelldal etc although they are more borderline. Punkmorten 23:35, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Concerning Ole Tronstad I would claim that he is on the right side of the border because of his length of term and involvement in other aspects of politics, but I have understanding if you disagree. Concerning the mayors of Hemnes and Hattfjelldal though, their notability is not related to their position as Mayor of their respective hamlets par cet, but for being involved in the Terra Securities scandal. Because of the massive, excessive and prolonged intensity of this case in the media, the four "Nordland-mayors" have all became notable through this case. Per this mid-week there were more than 7,000 media articles related to the case published, and a significant number of them refer to these mayors. Arsenikk 18:38, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Which other aspects? But yeah I will probably leave the "Terra mayors" alone. Hope this won't be a big setback for your productivity here :) Punkmorten 21:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Meråkerbanen/Nordlandbanen

Hej!

Jag har ändrat lite på några artiklar som du skrivit ang. Meråkerbanen och Nordlansbanen. Eftersom du skriver i många järnbaneartiklar vill bara göra dig uppmärksam på att Nordlandsbanen går mellan Hell och Bodö (ej Trondheim - Hell) och Meråkerbanen går mellan Trondheim och Storlien (inkl Trondheim - Hell). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.255.67.152 (talk) 20:26, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I utgangspunktet ville jeg vært enig med deg, men ifølge denne linken [1] fra Jernbaneverket går banen fra Hell til Storlien, og ikke fra Trondheim. Jeg prøver egentlig å unngå å skrive spesifikt om dette, men vil forholde meg til denne referansen med mindre jeg kommer over en annen en som motbeviser det (følgelig fra Jernbaneverket).

Vitusapotek: inclusion of legal status "AS"

Hi there. I see you've removed my addition of "AS" from the opening line for the Vitusapotek article; the article title "Vitusapotek" is correct, and should not change, but I always understood that the full name (of "Vitusapotek AS" in this case) should be included in the title sentence in bold (see Wikipedia:NC-CORP, 4th paragraph). The rest of the article then reverts to the common name, Vitusapotek. Examples are Royal Bank of Scotland and Wal-Mart.

What do you think? Carbonix (talk) 17:20, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I agree with you on your interpretation of the rules. The reason I did this was that as I see it that while the article Norsk Medisinaldepot is about the company, the article Vitusapotek is about the chain, and not about the company. And since 2007 Norsk Medisinaldept, NMD Grossisthandel and Vitusapotek have been merged into one legal entity. As such I have also added 'AS' to Norsk Medisinaldepot's heading, but removed it from Vitusapotek. Arsenikk (talk) 17:31, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Right. I can see what you mean and eventually found the 'merging' you refer to; I was relying too heavily on the company's website and even their contact address, which still use AS! Carbonix (talk) 18:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Kristin Halvorsen

Kristins løftebrudd er relevant for artikkelen, akkurat som Watergate skulle være relevant for Richard Nixon. Nastykermit (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 09:54, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

There are a number of critical errors to the comment added about Halvorsen. First, the election was in 2005, not in 2006. Second, there are used a number of wiesel words that should be avoided in Wikipedia. But the most critical part, and the reason for me reverting your edit was that the last sentence, "and this is today seen as one of the biggest lies and broken promises made a Norwegian politician." cannot under any way be seed as encyclopedic. The problem lays in that the claim cannot be verifiable for the population as a whole. And even if some people feel this way, it would be incorrect to generalize about the topic as such. Further, you should be careful (even if it is difficult sometimes) when writing about living people, even if they are politicians. This whole claim should be verified through independent third-party sources. Don't be surprised if it is removed if this claim cannot be verified. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia; remember to be bold. Arsenikk (talk) 22:04, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

You cant have one without the other. Halvorsen failed to honor her promise and its vital for an objective WIKI biography thayt we mention all sides. Lets try to keep party politics outside this. Nastykermit (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 19:59, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Little context in Category:Oil fields by operator

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Oil fields by operator, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Oil fields by operator is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Oil fields by operator, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Stub type process

You're right in that there's a number of different things going on in different cases. Some types are approved "speedily", and some (at least in theory) take five days. Add to which, some are only proposed as upmerged templates, and some already exist as such. In the case of your proposal, I assumed you were already aware of (some of) the distinction(s), given your "based on S2" comment -- which is indeed, I think, a sufficient condition for speedy creation, if there is indeed at least 60 such stubs at present, hence my support. (If there's not, I'd instead suggest creation of an upmerged template.) Hope that helps somewhat. Alai (talk) 16:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Skabo

Hello!

I found your name on the list of WP:WikiProject Trains participants where I also noticed you're from Norway. I thought you'd maybe be interested in taking a look at something that I think someone like you could fix easily.

Škabo is an article about a Serbian rapper. One of the redirects to this article is Skabo which seems to be a short version of Skabo Jernbanevognfabrikk and I'm led to believe that this was a Norwegian manufacturer of trains. There seem to be a few articles that link to Skabo but they are then incorrectly redirected to the article about the Serbian rapper.

I took an educated guess that you might be one of the better qualified people on here to write at least a stub on Skabo Jernbanevognfabrikk so that train articles that contain a link to Skabo are not redirected to Škabo. I would have done it myself but a Google search on Skabo Jernbanevognfabrikk brings up almost exclusively Norwegian articles so I really can't come up with any verifiable material.

Let me know if this is something you might be able to do or if, maybe, I should bring it up to the WPTrains community in general.

Peace! SWik78 (talk • contribs) 13:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. Skabo Jernbanevognfabrikk is on my mental list of articles to write "some day"; at present it is not near the top, partially due to lack of good sources. Since I am responsible for most of these links myself, what should be done is that Skabo becomes a disambiguation page and that links to Škabo and Skabo Jernbanevognfabrikk, and that I try to get better at not linking directly to Skabo. I can not promise to get around to this immediately, but I can look into it soon. Arsenikk (talk) 14:07, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
That sounds like a workable solution. I was hoping to avoid a disambiguation page with a red-linked entry but I guess, acording to WP:MOSDAB, there's no harm in it until we gather up enough material for a stub.
Thanks for responding.

Redundant parent categories

Hi, when you add categories to articles, as with Travel, please make sure that the article is not already in the category via a parent.

Thanks for the feedback. I am attempting to clean up Category:Transportation that was a mess, and remove all topics not in the core to subcategories.

Detroit Automobile Company GA Review

Thanks for the review, but I'd like to counter some of your points which don't quite make sense: 1a) Infoboxes are not mandatory, and in this case, there would be very little information to add to one (making it pointless adding one...) 2a) Ref 1 is fixed, and ref 9 has no title because it is the same book as ref 4. You obviously don't understand how citing books works. See WP:CITE. 3a) There is little information in the article because the information simply doesn't exist. If you had read the article, you would have found that: "Little is known about the company's designs." As you can see, I used a wide range of books for the research, but indeed found little information. — Wackymacs (talk ~ edits) 07:26, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Transportation Categories

Hi. I saw that you removed Personal Rapid Transit from the Transport category, and added it to the Rail category, which wasn't quite correct. I presume this is because you are trying to rationalize the Transport category, and PRT isn't really appropriate as a top-level category? If that's the case, then I agree, but it does need to be categorized in the hierarchy somewhere. To that end, I've created a new category, Automated Guideway Transport, which includes PRT, Dual-Mode, and Automated People Movers. I'm taking my queues from the American Public Transportation Association, which classifies all of these modes under the AGT label, and in turn seems worthy of top-level inclusion in the Transport category. What do you think? Skybum (talk) 16:45, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Good idea. To be quite honest I know very litle about PRT, so I was a little confused as to the categorization. The general rule seems to be that if it considered a mode of transport, it can go in Category:Transportation; if it is not a separate mode it goes under the modes respective category.
There does seem to be a category called Category:Alternatives to conventional railways with the description "The articles in this category describe transportation technologies that are like railways in that vehicles move along fixed structures that guide their movements (and typically restrict it to either backwards or forwards), but which differ from conventional railways in that the vehicles do not rest on steel wheels that roll along two parallel rails. Both existing and hypothetical technologies belong here." I would claim that this would be the proper category to stick PRT and similar into. Concerning rail transport as a mode, it is related to the guiding, rather than use of actual tracks. Unfortunately the mode has a somewhat misleading name for this understanding.
My final concern is the categorizationcapitalization of the category; only proper nouns are to be categorizedcapitalized using only capital letters, see WP:TITLE#Lowercase second and subsequent words in titles. The link you provided is filled with capitalization errors, in case you wondered. Arsenikk (talk) 17:09, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I'll definitely fix the capitalization errors, and thanks for pointing that out. It seems to me, based on what you're saying, that PRT should indeed be included in the root transportation category, as it is a distinctive mode of transit that is almost entirely unlike rail. It does use guideways that superficially resemble rails, but this is no more indicative of its functionality than the fact that cars, buses, and trains all use wheels. Unlike trains -- or any other "alternatives to trains" -- PRT does not do fixed-route, fixed-schedule, line-haul operations. Rather, it uses small vehicles that are available on demand, which can self-navigate through an ad-hoc mesh network -- much more like cars on roads than trains on rails. Functionally, the closest to PRT would be taxis, rather than trains. Since PRT, by definition, can never use large vehicles, human drivers, scheduled service, or line-haul configurations, I don't feel that it is appropriate to categorize it with other systems that generally have all of these features.
(If you're having some difficulty picturing how PRT works, based on my description, check out this 3.5-minute promotional video from PRT vendor, which illustrates the technology fairly well.)
The only potential problem with including PRT as a top-level transit category -- and the reason I thought that you'd removed it -- is that is currently exceedingly rare, and hence potentially not notable enough for top-level categorization. Although a number of prototype systems have been built over the years, there is only one quasi-PRT system currently in public use, another full-PRT system under construction, and several more in the late planning stage. If you don't think that rarity is a disqualifier, then let's put it as a top-level category. If it is a disqualifier, then automated guideway transport definitely seems like the place to put it. Even though the network structures and service capabilities of AGT and PRT bear no similarity to each other, at least it would then be lumped in with other transit systems that are always fully-automated, and generally use much smaller vehicles than rail systems (although not as small as PRT). Skybum (talk) 20:51, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for a good video :) From what I could see, it is structurally such as maglev: "like railways in that vehicles move along fixed structures that guide their movements" (note: guide, not dictate). I fear that if PRT was included in Transportation, a lot of other stuff would have to; not that I as such have anything against many top-category articles. To compare: a bus, automobile and an electric forklift all belong to the same mode, since they have wheels on a a (sort of) flat surface, and can control themselves, yet their operation can be of immense difference. My opinion is that PRT belongs in Category:Alternatives to conventional railways, not Category:Transportation. If you feel the former category should go straight into the latter, that might be a correct solution; I do not know. I also notice there is no top level article for the former (preferably with a better name). Arsenikk (talk) 17:57, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Glad you liked the video! I see your reasoning in regards to the top-level Transportation category, but I still have qualms about including it in Category:Alternatives to conventional railways. Possibly I'm biased; I've been studying PRT for almost a decade, and have come to believe that one of the most striking things about it is how completely unlike a train it is -- so defining it relation to trains just kind of rankles, if you don't mind me saying so. It's almost exactly midway between being an alternative to a train and an alternative to a car. On the other hand, many kind of non-PRT AGT systems absolutely do functions as train alternatives, so the AGT category definitely belongs there, even if PRT does not. So, I don't know -- the problem with category trees is that they imply singular rigid ontological hierarchies on things that actually are very multifaceted, fuzzy, and overlapping. Perhaps the best way to organize the transportation categories would be in several parallel streams: one covering the physical aspect (roads / rails and other guideways / animals / water / wings / et cetera), and another covering the usage (public transport / private transport / Industrial / et cetera)? Just a thought. Skybum (talk) 20:14, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

New idea

Hi! At the new Minister of the Navy and Postal Affairs (Norway), I made up a system to distinguish between different names of ministries without making new tables for every "era" (like it's done on e.g. Minister of Finance (Norway)). It certainly looks cleaner. Do you like it? Punkmorten (talk) 21:01, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Move of the ferry Hydro

I hope you don't mind terribly, but I just moved your article on the ferry named Hydro to SF Hydro in order to conform with English language conventions. Dampferge is after all steam ferry in English. A similar thing was done when DS Donau was moved to SS Donau. Congratulations with MF Storegut, by the way. A lead article with its image on the main page and everything. Great work indeed. :) Manxruler (talk) 18:18, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea as to the naming conventions to ships; I presume you are better informed and trust your decision. All I have ever written on ships is the Tinnsjø ferries. Arsenikk (talk) 19:02, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I would recommend that, yes. For more on the naming of ships, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships), although that article deals mostly with military ships. Manxruler (talk) 19:20, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Reference template

Sorry to bother you of all the project members but i`ve a question and i liked the fact that i`ve been here only one day longer than you (And i have no barnstars. Sad)

In the Spanish wikipedia there is a template that allows long Refferences lists to be put in a text box with scrollbar, really useful, i think.

Here is an example http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico

How can that be added to the tools in the english wikipedia?

I`ll apreciate an answer, wheter on my talk page or here. Thanks Zidane tribal (talk) 09:06, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I am sorry, but there is no such template on the English Wikipedia. The reason is that Wikipedia:Citing sources states: "Scrolling lists, for example of references, should never be used because of issues with readability, accessibility, printing, and site mirroring. Additionally, it cannot be guaranteed that such lists will display properly in all web browsers." What I recoment instead is using {{reflist|2}} to create a references list over two or three coulombs (depending on the average length of each). This usually reduces the length by a fair amount. I am sorry I gave your the answer you did not want, but I believe it is for the better. Happy editing Arsenikk (talk) 09:21, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Merger proposal

Dear Arsenikk,

I read your poisonous message and would like to make it clear to you that I did NOT propose to merge the transport and shipping articles. What I DID propose is to merge shipping INTO transport. Before you say it’s all the same, let me point out to you that there are TWO different templates, one for each case. You may read all about it at Wikipedia:Merging_and_moving_pages.

I did NOT stated any reason for the proposal, because I have more important things to do, like educating young students.

Your happiness is of no concern to me whatsoever, but I already wrote a justification for the merger, as short as I could, just to humor me.

I do not care to discuss my proposal with you or anyone else. Again, I have better things to do. You or anybody else can do with my proposal whatever you see fit.

Fear not. You are welcome to remove those two banners or anything else that you feel like, if you believe that by doing so you are providing a service to the Wikipedia readers.

My further advice to you is that you should NEVER write a message to any registered user invoking rules that do not exist and that you are unable to cite. You statement that a merger proposal has no function without an accompanying discussion is FALSE. Proof?

  1. It made you write that message to me, wich
  2. made me write a brief justification, and
  3. compelled me to give you a piece of my mind, hoping that you’ll learn something from the experience (better now and here, than on the job, believe me!)

Further evidence?

What you find in Wikipedia:Merging_and_moving_pages is After proposing the merger, place your reasons on the talk page. That is not QUITE the same thing as you wrote. Although the editor of that phrase, obviously, left out the word PLEASE, it is clearly assumed that whoever made the proposal is interested in invoking a response and proceed with the merger. Well, I’m NOT. If I was, I would have proceed with it, as explained on the same Wikipedia page. As it is also made plainly clear there, I do NOT need to discuss that with you or anybody else, much less ask for your or anybody else’s permission to do it.

Being a student of Business Administration, a native speaker of English, having studied logistics and economics, whose main areas of interest on Wikipedia are within transport (including rail transport, aviation, public transport and shipping) it baffles me that you had to ask ME for a reason to merge those two articles. You ought to know that yourself.

Furthermore, you might consider changing that link on your user’s page from shipping to ship transport. Just a thought. Rest assured that my happiness does not depend on you doing it or not.

Good luck in your studies. Take as much advantage of them as you can (one final, unsolicited but also free advice).

Best regards,

Virgilio A. P. Machado

Lommedalsbanen

Have you heard about Lommedalsbanen? [3] Not a real railway, but do you think it deserves a page? And what, would you reckon, is the notability criterion for tunnels? A certain length? Thanks, Punkmorten (talk) 08:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

The general consensus is that any railway station ever served by scheduled traffic is notable. I would consider Lommedalsbanen a museum, so follow WP:ORG—two news hits and its notable; I can find 20 on Sesam. Tunnels are trickier, i guess you could go by WP:N and try to find two RS, but the best things is to just use common sense. A 1 km tunnel would be notable, while a 25 m would not i guess. My impression of AfD discussions is that infrastructure is little contested are rarely is deleted. Arsenikk (talk) 10:19, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Stub tag on a redirect

Regarding this edit, I read in a guideline somewhere that it might be helpful to stub tag a "redirect with possibilities", to attract editors to expand the stub. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 20:35, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

There are far too many instructions in Wikipedia. I came across that one almost by chance a few days ago, though I have a suspicion I may have misinterpreted it.

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Smedvig_West_Epsilon.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria.

Take a look at Wikipedia:Route diagram template, where the documentation for the trail templates are located. I do not see any immediate way of including all the information though, as the trail template is mainly for highlights. Personally I just copyedited the template from the Norwegian article. One suggestion could be to make articles for each station, even if they become stubs. At current, all stations, current or closed, are presumed notable. Arsenikk (talk) 06:50, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, this was an easy one. Though I did actually reference the sentence, I stole the fact and the reference from the update to the Coastal Administration article update that I think you did. So thanks for doing all the work, Morten :) Arsenikk (talk) 21:38, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Names

I was wondering; why is the article called Norwegian National Rail Administration (English), but another Norges Statsbaner? There is also Posten Norge and perhaps others. Punkmorten (talk) 21:14, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

The logic I have been following (I have not named neither NSB or Posten, but I agree with the current naming scheme) is that companies (i.e. AS) are named with their original name, while government agencies (such as the rail administration) is named for the official English name (since almost all government agencies have official translations). This is my personal interpretation of WP:Use English. While this works for companies like say Norsk Hydro and Norsk Skog (we don't translate the article names into Norwegian Hydro or Norwegian Forest Industries), I agree that this is problematic for government agencies organized as limited companies. I notice NRK is named Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (though an AS), so at present this scheme is not implemented consistently. I would not oppose NSB and Posten changing to English names, though. Arsenikk (talk) 21:27, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Your fixing the BS collapsing problem

It's just because I feel I'm responsible for the mass resivion to the BS collapsible templates, what if other users don't comprehend the change and just sit and watch their route template messed up by my updated template syntax. Luckily it isn't too much to rewrite and I'm free today. If you've got other questions, don't hesitate to ask in Wikipedia talk:Route diagram template or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains, I've watched both.

As for your {{Bergensbanen}}, I have revised sth on the Voss ~ Kvålsåsen-tunnelen part for better transition from BS5 to BS2. And the Bergen part, you used KBFe rather than BHF, if you do it for some reason it doesn't matter. Just my own curiosity. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 09:25, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Lost in translation

Hi, thanks for fixing up the spelling in List of Norwegian ministries. However, your semi-automatic editing was "spell checking" the Norwegian language versions of the department names, which uses departement (the correct spelling in Norwegian), and then "fixing" them into the English department. I have reverted the edit, but please be weary of this pit in the future. Thanks, and happy editing. Arsenikk (talk) 17:41, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I was actually looking at for a while before saving, but they should be warped in a {{lang}} if they are in another language. I had thought departement was English and the translation is parenthesis next to it which was why I committed the edit. — Dispenser 18:27, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
No, one {lang} for each line would look hideous. The least you can do before reading/editing a table is glancing at the column header. And to you Arsenikk, thanks. Punkmorten (talk) 19:05, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I reverted your removal of this article from the category, but I see the problem. Firstly there is no sub-category for Category:Military transportation, and secondly the current stub fails to mention that mobility can be strategic and operational, relying substantially on civilian networks and infrastructures. Indeed this reliance is complete in terms of rail and road movement, and substantial sea-cargo movements. I will earmark the article for needing expansion.

How is the Washington DC Metro not considered a hybrid? The BART is also there and I wouldn't consider that a hybrid either

A hybrid is a commuter rail that has so many of the elements of a rapid transit, that it could be characterized as either. This involves both operating long distances with long intervals between stops (so long that there are locations along the route not in walking distance to any station, usually more than 2 km between most stations), but with the high frequency (four or more services per hour) and often zone-fare structure of a rapid transit. I have taken the Washington Metro, and it is not a hybrid. I have not taken the BART, so I don't know about it (this was someone else' edit). The German S-Bahn is the ideal example of a hybrid.

Railway lines

I see you've renamed the Norwegian lines again. Like I found when we discussed this at Talk:Jærbanen, there are official translations used by NSB, like the Jæren Railway for Jærbanen and the main Railway for Hovedbanen. Instead of creating new ones, like the Jær Line or the Hoved Line, we should use NSB's translations when in need for English names. Btd (talk) 10:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I'll have to second this - made-up, unofficial translations are something we want as little as possible of in the English Wikipedia. Official English names should be used where available, such as in this case, and if they aren't available, we should look to other reliable sources for names to use. Finally, if the reliable sources use the native Norwegian name, or there are no reliable sources in English that discuss the topic, the Norwegian name should be used. Please see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English). --Aqwis (talk – contributions) 11:12, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
See this debate at Talk:Bergen Line for the rationale. Arsenikk (talk) 11:35, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Ok, but Jærbanen should be moved to Jæren Line and Hovedbanen to Main Line (something). Preferrably without capitalized "l" since JBV tend not to use that. Btd (talk) 11:53, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
I have now read that discussion, but I'm afraid I still disagree. You use the word "indicates" a little too much - just because Jernbaneverket calls other lines "X Line" in English doesn't mean anything for Bergensbanen. Contrary to what you seem to think, consistency is not more important than choosing a proper name for each article. And while "line" is perhaps a better translation of "bane" than "railway", that should be entirely irrelevant to us. After all, our job is to reflect reliable sources, not choose the more "correct" name. I have, however, noted that "Bergen Line" is also used occasionally on NSB and Jernbaneverket's websites. But as "Bergen Railway" is used at least as often, that's not a reason to name the article "Bergen Line". --Aqwis (talk – contributions) 11:58, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Perm Airlines logo.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Perm Airlines logo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image which is not under a free license or in the public domain and it has not been used in any article for more than seven days.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Perm Airlines logo.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Sjømannskirken or the Norwegian Church Abroad?

Hi, Arsenikk. Do you think that Sjømannskirken should be moved to Norwegian Church Abroad? The latter seems to be the official English name and as the rules state we should use English names on English language Wikipedia. Thought I'd ask for your opinion before moving the article. Manxruler (talk) 09:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Looks like the official name, so then it should be moved per WP:UE. Arsenikk (talk) 11:36, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I made the article Wincentz Thurmann Ihlen to go with the interesting person Nils Claus Ihlen (expanded as well). Nice, huh? I borrowed some text from the by you written Strømmens Værksted. Perhaps you could improve Wincentz Thurmann Ihlen by giving the text a reference? Punkmorten (talk) 22:08, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Good work! This Nils Claus guy seems to be quite the diplomat—and should probably be considered one of the greatest heroes of the nation if he was instrumental in keeping Norway neutral during the war (while we [or a bunch of shipping magnates] made a fortune on shipping). I have added ample references to Wincetz Thurmann's article, and at 1700 characters it should be long enough for DYK. Could you please do the nomination—I always seem to make really bad hooks and get a mob the nomination complaining about them. Thanks. Arsenikk (talk) 22:16, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Lovely referencing and expansion! Isn't it cool how, one week ago, Wincentz Thurmann was just a name in a text, and suddenly we discovered enough material for him to have his own article? As always, a pleasure cooperating with you. I submitted a hook for DYK, perhaps you could DYKtick it, haha :) Punkmorten (talk) 17:31, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Um, ticking it doesn't sound very kosher, but I guess the point is to have two people testimony to the verifiability. Thanks for finding a hook—I was just staring blindly in despair at the article when you wrote your note. Arsenikk (talk) 18:06, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I dread the list of undone Norwegian articles. Of course some editors feel it is more important to prioritize each of the 100+ stations on the T-bane over major organizations that have influenced the Norwegian society for generations. Arsenikk (talk) 18:06, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Oh well, stations are important too! Speaking of that I wish there existed some good sources on tramway stations. The suburban stations, at least, can be likened in importance to the t-bane stations. Punkmorten (talk) 11:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
There are some books written on these lines (Lilleaker and Ekeberg), but I have never come across them in any library I frequent (especially not the one in Koblenz, but also the ones in Bergen and Trondheim are rather bad at this topic). If these mention the stations in any detail, is another matter. Arsenikk (talk) 20:12, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Isn't it really incorrect to call the Norwegian Parliamentary Ombudsman for the Armed Forces a government agency, it having no connection to the executive branch? Punkmorten (talk) 21:01, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

The term government has a somewhat broader scope than the Norwegian regjering; though the executive branch is also called a government, the term can be coined to apply to the whole system of the state. I would argue you could call the ombudsman a government agency, since you could say that the legislative branch was also part of the government, interpreted the word a wide sense; or you could choose to call it only an agency, by choosing to use government in the narrow sense. Either way I wouldn't worry too much about it. Arsenikk (talk) 15:38, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Nordlandsbanken logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Nordlandsbanken logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Aker Solutions

Hi! I have some questions pertaining to Aker Solutions, and you seem to know this corp well.

I'm having a hard time finding out what happened to Kværner Eureka—the last "known" successor company of Thune (which I by the way expanded). I found a brochure from its time under that name, registered at the adress Joseph Kellersvei 20, Tranby. After the rename of Aker Kværner to Aker Solutions, things get more blurry.

Kværner Eureka was apparently disestablished in 2006, but in 2007, "Aker Kværner på Tranby" was apparently refurbished with a NOK 60 million investment. The latter link says that the company "Kværner Eureka på Tranby, som bedriftene het tidligere" had been "completely rearranged", but did not mention anything about weapons—the main focus of the brochure.

On the old adress in Tranby is now registered a company named Aker Subsea, which also has localities in Ågotnes ("Service") and Moss (whereas the "Business area staff" are located at its central HQ in Fornebu), as well as abroad.

Should Aker Subsea be considered a direct successor of Kværner Eureka? And what does the company really do? Punkmorten (talk) 00:52, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Nice work with Thune. What I think has happened, is that Kværner Eureka has been closed, but the facilities have been taken into use by Aker Subsea for manufacturing. Aker Subsea seems to be a global operation, and a fairly large part of Aker Solutions' operations (oil platforms are becoming more and more pure subsea installations, for instance Snøhvit). I do not know if you can call Aker Subsea a successor of Kværner Eureka, but perhaps you can say that they use the same facilities, or something. If you look at the organizational chart and the page on the subsea division, Tranby seems to be only one of many locations of the division. Arsenikk (talk) 11:08, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Iole

Comment to your remark added to GA #2 Iole Talk Page. Besides those already listed, please add any additional improvements that can be made to perhaps bring this to GA status someday. I realize that there are a lot of other important tasks to attend to on Wikipedia besides the Iole article. Lately I have added a few DYKs to Wikipedia to improve the online encyclopedia. Perhaps I can make some of these GAs. Please feel free to make any improvements to any of these new articles or make comments to their Talk Pages.--Doug Coldwell talk 19:01, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I personally believe bringing articles up to GA standards is among the most noble deeds performed by Wikipedians (along with simply referencing articles), as it is the most efficient way to establish a high level of article quality (far more time-efficient than for instance FA or A). Simple articles, such as Iole, are easy (relative to, for instance, the mythology article) to bring to this level. My comments made during the GA #2 were extensive, i.e. if they had all been addressed during the initial week of the review, I would have passed Iole. My main comments were regarding that entire sections (notably on interpretation) were lacking (and still are), as well as some lack of references (which are now in place). The Iole article was good enough that it was a valid candidate for GA, but unfortunately the issues addressed in the review were not worked with. If you feel you or others have since addressed them, feel free for a new nomination. However, I will not attempt to fill the gaps myself, as mythology is a subject I do not feel comfortable writing about, as I am little familiar with its details. If you want me to quality check it before a nomination, feel free to ask, though I may be gone for many consecutive days several times this side of New Year's. Good work with the DYKs and Iole, and happy editing. Arsenikk (talk) 20:26, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Star Shipping

A tag has been placed on Star Shipping requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 11:44, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Travel

About defining travel. I'm surprised you reverted my edit. The scholar referenced cites an abundant literature, and comes to a succinct definition. Whereas 'movement' is simple physical displacement, 'travel' is embedded in complex social practices. This is a short, useful observation, backed up by sociological knowledge. What an encyclopedia needs, I'd have thought?86.139.108.172 (talk) 18:38, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Arsennik, you need to read the research on which D-F's statement builds: James Buzard and Tzvetan Todorov are accepted authorities in the field of travel theory. His statement simply builds on theirs. It is scholarly synthesis, not metaphor. Have you studied their approaches to the problem? On what other scholarly authority are you proceeding?86.139.108.172 (talk) 21:46, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Political Appointments System in Hong Kong

How goes the review for Political Appointments System in Hong Kong? If the nominator (or anyone else) never tried to address the POV concerns in all of this time, I think it is safe to fail the article. They can always renominate at another time, although if the concerns haven't been addressed by now, they probably will never be. The article has been in the backlog for almost 100 days...

Fair use rationale for File:Golden_Ocean_Group_logo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Golden_Ocean_Group_logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Newest development

He's from Trondheim and was involved in railway transport. Also, I expanded Namsos Line, but I don't really understand "skinner med en vekt på 35 kg/m". Perhaps you could help by writing it out properly (cf the "clarify" tag). Punkmorten (talk) 12:57, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Nice work on both articles. I'm glad other people are also taking an interest in rail transport ;)
As for the track weight, I think it is fairly well explained in rail profile. Perhaps I'm too into this stuff, but track weight is simply the weight of the steel used per meter. The larger the tracks, the more they weight, but the higher axle load they permit, thus allowing heavier trains. These days 35 kg/m is what is used on tramways, while I think Jernbaneverket uses 60 kg/m on new track. Arsenikk (talk) 17:47, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi again. It's about Ferdinand Bjerke. The article says he was "leading the work on the Flåm Line". Contrary, [5] says that "Bygginga av Flåmsbana starta i 1923 under leiing av overingeniør Peder Lahlum, som tidlegare hadde hatt ansvaret for Voss-Evangerbanen. Lahlum hadde anleggsansvaret heilt til 1935. Då overtok avdelingsingeniør Adolph M. B. Kielland fram til 1942, og derfrå til anleggsslutt i 1947 avdelingsingeniør Rolf Aksnes." If they led the work, could the role of Bjerke please be clarified somewhat? Thanks (and thanks for creating it in the first place), Punkmorten (talk) 20:40, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

The source text was a bit diffuse, and you are probably right, so I changed it to "senior engineer". That would cover up either way. Good spotting. Arsenikk (talk) 21:07, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
