Your Shetland Bus reverts[edit]

Instead of simply stating "wikipedia is older" followed by some speculations and then deleting a copyviol-stub against the procedures recommended within the text of that stub, would you, please, stick to the rules and make use of the history of that page to see what was added and at what date! About 90% of the version to which you rolled back were just added a couple of days before by simply copying & pasting from the website under copyright mentioned with the stub. THX 91.64.3.185 22:11, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions anon. If you know which sections were alegedly copyvio why not remove them? Putting the entire article up for deletion is not constructive....Inge 22:36, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Inge. You might wish to check out {{Shetlopedia}} and Category talk:Wikipedia articles incorporating text from Shetlopedia. It looks like Shetlopedia has changed its copyright statement a few days ago, but that still doesn't make them the owner of content created by their authors. The Shetland bus article gives attribution to Shetlopedia so it must be in the clear. Valentinian T / C 22:43, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Might our anon above be a shetlopedia fan or even the founder?... I think making Shetlopedia "all rights reserved" is bad for the future of that project and a bit unethical with regards to the contributors. In addition to the legal matter. Inge 22:50, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It sounds likely that the anon is a contributor to that website. Taking a glance at it, it looks like they're particularly pissed that this article is displayed on Wikipedia, but I don't know why. I guess matters like these are better left to the copyright buffs. Valentinian T / C 23:01, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You're right. When I saw the template I thought a deletion of the entire article was an overreaction in any case, but the copyright buffs can take it from there. Inge 23:06, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry folks, do you want to fool me? ;-) I was talking about copyright, UK copyright in particular. Valentinian: ... but that still doesn't make them the owner of content created by their authors. - right and that was never claimed, just the opposite was declared well having in mind that according to UK copyright which has it that If more than one person qualifies as an author then a work is one of joint authorship. In that case the permission of all copyright holders is required for acts that would otherwise be an infringement of copyright. (not my words, copied & pasted from en:WP!) That's just counteracting your approach based in your wiki-phylosophy, not supporting the rightfullness of your actions.

And again, please Inge, don't speculate: I'm not the owner of the said website - I'm co-editor and content manager of a none-British website about Scotland who was pointed to this matter by one of our (also none-British) contributors to our website. Further more - Inge ... is bad ... and a bit unethical with regards to the contributors. You are wrong again. I guess you can read ;-) so why not going to the website and look what's stated there? From the bits published (it seems that most of the discussions obviously happened in private) it is absolutely clear that the page owner / registrant of the site not only acted consensual with the contributors but following their demands.

What did 'your' folks in that situation? There was a local who had uploaded unique historical family papers for documentary reasons, stuff of a quality which is otherwise kept under Crown Copyright in some kind of archive. And your folks instead of asking and discussing with him how to make such stuff available for wikipedia accused him in public of breaching copyright law and violating of licencing rules which do not apply neither to him, his documents or actions nor to a website under UK copyright. That's boring and cocky. Sorry, but in which part of the virtual universe do you really live?

It is definitely not that tiny regional website risking GFDL, it is Big Mama Wikipedia behaving like Mr M$, hiding behind lashy US standards and corrupting third nations national copyrights. Mr M$ faced the bill from the EU commission today. It's definitely not my prob should wikipedia face its bill tomorrow. Cheerio 91.64.3.185 20:45, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear anon. I think most of your issues are better adressed to someone other than me or Valentinian. It seems you have some unresolved issues with wikipedia policy and/or leadership. I am not able to adress most of your issues. I would ask you not to direct you grievances in that respect to me. Inge 22:44, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No prob at all, Inge, you are welcome. I just ended up here because it was you who deleted the copyviol stub without any substancial comment or justifiable checks which might be in accordance with the 'image' I got from your own user page ... ;-) Ooops it's late, but I do hope you will understand what I mean. ;-) cheerio 91.64.3.185 23:31, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think so, but I can't shake the impression that you are trying to take a stab at me here.Inge 11:41, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Japanese heraldry[edit]

Hello Inge. I've proposed the deletion of the Japanese heraldry article. Since you were the creator and the main contributor I thought you'd like to know. My reasons are simple: 1) Content-wise, it's redundant with Mon (crest), and 2) Japanese heraldry and mon are one and the same thing in the first place. I hope this process could go smoothly. o 00:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I see the article now is a redirect. Are you proposing to delete the redirect?Inge 08:13, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, the redirect was made after my proposal for deletion; someone else beat us to it. The redirect is perfectly fine with me if you don't object. o 11:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have no problems with that :) Inge 11:36, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment[edit]

Would you revisit your WP:MILHIST assessment of HMS Ganges (1821)? I think you may have inadvertently given it the wrong quality rating, as you assessed it at 'B' level, but the article is quite short for a ship of 100 years' service, has no picture, no references, etc. Thanks. Maralia 16:18, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ask for help[edit]

Would you mind add some references of the Inter-service decorations of the United States military?

Thank you.--东北虎(Manchurian Tiger) 08:58, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am puzzled...I know very little about this article's topic and I have not contributed to it as far as I know. I will look into this request when I get the time, but for now I don't know of any references to add. Inge 12:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Inge, I am having a discussion on the House of Munsö with user:Pieter Kuiper. He wants to remove stuff, while I want to keep in things that I find interesting. Please, join the discussion and give your opinion.--Berig 16:11, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Inge, Thanks by alert me. I really don't know what version of the lion was used on the flag. I create another flag only using the lion of the COA of Norway.

Tak for beskeden[edit]

Undskyld det sene svar, men jeg synes at jeg render fra Herodes til Pilatus for tiden. Af samme årsag er jeg kun meget lidt til stede på Wikipedia for tiden, og når jeg endelig er, er det næsten udelukkende på den danske, primært med at rydde lidt op i artiklerne om danske sogne. Jeg har desværre mistet lysten til at bidrage i nævneværdig målestok til både en: og commons. Begge projekter lider af for meget nonsens og for mange tåbe(lighede)r. Tak for tippet om bogen. Biblioteket på Syddansk Universitet har en kopi, så når jeg får lidt mere tid, lyder det som en god gang hyggelæsning. Bemærkningen om at briterne helst havde undgået at gå i krig med København er interessant, og den passer med nogle senere bemærkninger fra krigen i 1864, hvor regeringen i København håbede at Storbritannien ville gribe ind og dermed sætte tyskerne i skak. Det var faktisk lidt mere sandsynligt at Rusland ville have interveneret, men Petersborg var optaget pga. den polske opstand i 1863, så Rusland var ikke interesseret i mere rod på vestgrænsen. Men hvad briterne angår, fandtes der kredse i London, der ville have Storbritannien til at intervenere og presse tyskerne væk fra Slesvig, motiveret både af ønsket om at holde Preussen i skak, men også pga. en følelse af at London skyldte København en undskyldning for begivenhederne under Napoleonskrigene. Når alt kom til alt valgte englænderne en play-it-safe kurs, nok også motiveret af at Dronning Victoria var pro-tysk. Det ligner dog en nærliggende tanke at Londons bondeanger kan have været medvirkende til at briterne fremlagde et for Danmark meget generøst forslag til deling af Slesvig (Slien-Dannevirke-Husum-linjen). Danmark burde have grebet det med kyshånd, men det blev i stedet afvist i København fordi halvøen Svansø og dermed dronningens yndlingsslot, Louisenlund, lå på den tyske side af delingslinjen. Udviklingen gik derfor dens skæve gang, først og fremmest til skade for sønderjyderne. I det mindste sendte englænderne klarere signaler kort før 2. verdenskrigs udbrud. Her indrømmede Churchill faktisk direkte over for overfor statsminister Stauning at England ikke var i en position til at hjælpe Danmark. Norge måske, men Danmark lå simpelthen det forkerte sted. Valentinian T / C 21:06, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PS. Gider du gøre mig en tjeneste og kontrollere grammatikken og stavningen på den sidste sætning af bokmålwikipediaens artikel om Dannevirke? (Det er sætningen med Søren Telling). Mvh. Valentinian T / C 21:06, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Rune_Gjeldnes_in_Antarctica.jpg[edit]

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Rune_Gjeldnes_in_Antarctica.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 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 the fair use 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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 16:55, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of countries by formation dates[edit]

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article List of countries by formation dates, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

HNoMS "Kong" Haakon VII[edit]

Hi Inge. Just calling to give a note to that I'm going to change the article HNoMS Kong Haakon VII to HNoMS King Haakon VII. I've just gone through some of my sources and they all say King, the only source already listed in that article is a deadlink so I'm going to remove that, no offence. Have a nice day. Manxruler (talk) 10:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I answered on your talk page. Inge (talk) 10:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again. All my sources are Norwegian, and all by people closely connected to the RNoN. They're the same as are used as in-text citations in the article. What sources did you find that used Kong? As far as I remember you only listed some WWII forum in the sources section. Manxruler (talk) 10:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I've never actually heard of that ship being called Kong. A quick Google search revealed that Norwegian Wikipedia, not exactly noted for its reliability, uses Kong in its Look to Norway article, an article completely without sources. And then there's a naval fiction discussion forum and that's pretty much it. Manxruler (talk) 11:04, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1299[edit]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eirik_II_of_Norway Above is one of numerous sites which give the death of Eirik II as 1299. Cant understand why you dont fix the glaring error on the site about Haakon's Hall.

1299[edit]

Under the heading of Bergenhus Fortress, Haakon's Hall it is stated "...accession of king Eirik II in 1299,..." I edited this to read "...death of king Eirik II in 1299,..." which is consistent with my understanding of the historical records.

You have undone my correction. I trust this is just an automated procedure allowing for the fact that I have only registered today and am not an established user. If so, no doubt you will either re-instate or otherwise correct the information. On the other hand I should be most interested to learn if you do not agree with my correction!Dbb9 (talk) 21:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message on my talk page. Will you reassess the validity of my correction? See: - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_II_of_Norway

Queen consort Isabel Bruce[edit]

Holberg[edit]

Hei Inge. Jeg som mange andre mener at Holberg var Nordmann og ikke 'Dansk-Norsk'. At Holberg ansees som grunnlegger av Dansk litteratur er en irrelevant. La oss huske at han dro til Danmark fordi det ikke fantes universiteter i Norge, han hadde intet valg.Nastykermit (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 19:37, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eg ser ikkje korleis dette er relevant for meg. Eg har skrive veldig lite av artikkelen og kan ikkje hugse at det er eg som har kome med påstanden om at Holberg var Dansk-Norsk. Når du likevel har skrive her kan eg tone flagg med det same og seie at eg ser på ordet Dansk-Norsk som akseptabelt for å omtale Holberg sin nasjonalitet. Hans "statsborgarlojalitet" gjekk til ein konge som var dansk og ein stat som i hovudsak var danskstyrt og han arbeidde i ein kultur osm var danskdominert. Hans "naturlege" nasjonalitet er sjølvsagt norsk, men å skrive berre norsk i artikkelen her på wiki vil berre skape konflikt. Inge (talk) 19:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment of Flag of New Zealand - A class ratings and lead sections[edit]

You assessed this article as A-class, but unless the lead has gone down hill rapidly it's clearly not up to that standard. A-class ratings should not be given out lightly like this. Please read WP:LS to get an idea of what a lead should be like - for one thing the lead doesn't even mention the controversy. But even without reading the content one can see at a glance that it is undersized - there is currently less than one line for each page of article. Richard001 (talk) 01:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

German Titles of House of Windsor[edit]

Hi.. I just saw this question. The titles have gone into abeyance, which means that heirs to the titles may petition Her Majesty (and, I think, Parliament) for reinstatement. None have done so. PrinceOfCanada (talk) 22:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely certain what the titles were. Let me look... Duke of Albany was one.. aha!! Check out the Titles Deprivation Act. That'll tell you everything. PrinceOfCanada (talk) 16:09, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm leaving you a note as you may be interested in this opportunity.

People from all six Nordic Wiki-communities (sv, no, nn, fi, da and is) are coordinating a bid for Wikimania 2010 in Stockholm. I'm sending you a message to let you know that this is occurring, and over the next few months we're looking for community support to make sure this happens! See the bid page on meta and if you like such an idea, please sign the "supporters" list at the bottom. Tack (or takk), and have a wonderful day! Mike H. Fierce! 07:44, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Marinejegerkommandoen[edit]

Your deletion of rumours in this article is questionable, as there was provided a source for these rumours in the article. Furthermore, as long as it is made clear in the article that the info is based on rumours and are not nesseserely facts, I don't see the problem. Specialforces are surroounded by rumours. Very few of us know what they actually do. As long as it is made clear what is facts and rumours in the article, I think it should be accepted. Mortyman (talk) 18:50, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re:Norske marinefartøy[edit]

Hi Inge. Thanks! I hadn't heard about this book and now I of course have to obtain a copy. Looks very promising. Typos I can overcome, as long as the book has got its facts straight. Thumbs up for a really good tip. :) Manxruler (talk) 16:22, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. Great work on adding all those additional vessels to List of Royal Norwegian Navy ships. However, some of your edits converted blue links into red ones. I'm on the case, but try to look out for such things in future edits. Manxruler (talk) 01:26, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
All good. As far as I know we're supposed to link after year of launch. What I was talking about above is that when editing, just check and see if the wikilink is already blue and in that case just let it be blue. List of Royal Norwegian Navy ships checked. Manxruler (talk) 02:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I guess that that might be so, although it seems to work OK as it is now, the first Ørnen just being called Ørnen and the other ships of the same name being listed with year of launch. I suppose that it would make sense to create a HNoMS Ørnen disambiguation page linking to the two different Ørnen ships, like for example the HMS Arrow page. That would probably be best. Manxruler (talk) 02:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So you'll break links and let them be broken? Manxruler (talk) 02:33, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think that a correctly named redlink is worse than a bluelink to a wrongly named, but correct, article. If the article is wrongly named then it should of course be moved, but a redlink gives the impression that a particular ship doesn't have an article. Manxruler (talk) 02:52, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, we're good. A couple of important points: 1. If ships are listed by commissioning years then according to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships), they shouldn't be. 2. The reason I wanted to call the book in question "Norske Marinefartøy" is that that's what the publisher calls it [2], but I realise that that might very well be incorrect. 3. Please remember to use English when communicating on English language Wikipedia. Manxruler (talk) 03:24, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HNoMS Ørnen[edit]

Hi Inge. Could you look in your nice book and tell me when the first HNoMS Ørnen, evidently commissioned in 1833, was launched? I'm about to move the article to make room for a HNoMS Ørnen page to list all the various Norwegian naval vessels of that name. Manxruler (talk) 21:11, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re:Ørnen/Sagvolden[edit]

Hi Inge, thanks a bunch for the info on Ørnen, it confirms the year I used in the new title. With regards to Sagvolden, I thinks it's borderline. Part of the problem is that the article is quite poorly written, personally I might have been inclined to keep it, although I'll leave that up to others. Seeing as it's totally borderline it will probably be deleted. Manxruler (talk) 19:30, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Template:No icon[edit]

I've temporarily reduced the protection to semiprotection so you can edit the template to try to fix the problem. The template does have a very high number of transclusions and there have been problems with vandals exploiting templates (including language templates) to vandalise thousands of pages simultaneously, hence the protection.
