(We already have an article about another Norwegian doctor with and identical name, professor Eirik Solheim.)
In which article does this reference belong?
(The administrative proceedings against him, might be more notable than the doctor himself. And if none of these are notable enough to warrant an article, then I think that the references might be notable enough to warrant inclusion in some other of our articles. Suggestions?
(That a majority or minority does not see any notability, is hereby noted in advance.
That a majority or minority views/ does not view this as wikinews, is hereby noted in advance.)

The elite football group of SFK Lyn, called FK Lyn was bankrupted last year. But the Lyn are back - and will be playing in 2012 Norwegian Third Division. What should we do with the articles?
"FK Lyn was a football club" and "Lyn Fotball is a football club playing in Norwegian Third Division"
or
"FK Lyn was bankrupted in 2010, but started to play in 2011 Norwegian Fourth Division" ?
When I read the article about SFK Lyn, it seems clear to that FK Lyn is still bankrupt, and the team playing in next years 3. Division is SFK Lyn or Lyn Fotball.
But anyways - I think the way the FK Lyn article is now, is very misleading. Any thoughts ? Mentoz86 ( talk) 14:16, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

I recommend editors keep Wikipedia:WikiProject Norway/Article alerts on their watchlist. It is updated by a bot whenever articles tagged with our project banner or placed in project categories enter various workflows (such as Articles for Deletion, Requests for Comments, Peer Review, and many more). This short page is also transcluded onto the main project page (at the bottom), but unless you scour that page for regular updates, having the article alerts page on your watchlist is a lot more effiecient. __ meco ( talk) 09:54, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

I've always fancied creating an article on the (nearly dead) use of the subjunctive mood in our wonderful language. However, I'm a bit uncertain about whether I should create an article entitled Subjunctive in Norwegian or a general article entitled Subjunctive in Scandinavian languages. The former would be the most common (there are at present only articles about subjunctive in specific languages, not in language groups), but the latter would be the more semantically correct, since the subjunctive is effectively equally used in Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. Also, I would be greatly appreciative of anyone pointing me in the direction of grammar books dealing with the Norwegian subjunctive, both descriptive and prescriptive. Grateful for your elucidation, Eisfbnore (下さいて話し) 16:24, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi there. There is currently an edit war going on about Eskil Pedersen's article, with three participants: User:Toresbe, User:Roghue and myself. Toresbe is a member of AUF and have done an excellent job removing unsourced rumours and personal attacks from this article, and this is what the article looked like before me or Roghue did any edits. Since then Roghue have added (imo) well-sourced criticism of Pedersen, while Toresbe have been trying to remove some of it, while I have been trying to revert toresbe's edit and instead tweaking the article to a more NPOV by trying to fix the issues Toresbe have written in his edit summaries when he have removed the text. That edit war lasted till 10 January, and I feel that this version was something all three could live with. However, after Roghue addition on 17 April, another edit war have engaged, which I feel is much less constructive then the previous one. My opinion is that Toresbe is violating WP:COI, by removing sourced information that might put Pedersen in bad light, while his opinion is that he is right to do so per WP:COATRACK, WP:UNDUE and WP:BLP. I admit that this is simply a content dispute I want some more experienced editors to have a look at this so we can settle with a neutral version of the article. (remember that this is my version of this, and the two other participants might have another view on the matter) Mentoz86 ( talk) 09:00, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

There have been some very tedious goings on at Margaret, Maid of Norway, principally concerning the meaning of Jomfruen av Norge. The current text states that this is "literally 'The Young Lady of Norway' ", although various editors seem to think it should state 'The Virgin of Norway'.
An explanatory hidden note was left thus "VENNLIGST LES DETTE: FORANDRE IKKE 'YOUNG LADY' TIL 'VIRGIN'. I HØYMIDDELALDEREN VAR 'JOMFRU' ELLER 'JUNGFRU', SOM BETYR 'UNG FRUE', EN BETEGNELSE SOM TILSVARER DAGENS 'PRINSESSE'. ORDET HADDE INGENTING MED SEKSUALITET Å GJØRE. DEN SISTNEVNTE BETYDNING KOM PÅ 1800- ELLER 1900-TALLET. SE ELLERS HER: http://www.nob-ordbok.uio.no/perl/ordbok.cgi?OPP=jomfru&bokmaal=+&ordbok=bokmaal".
I take this to mean something like: "at the time the phrase was in use (the late 13th century) 'Jomfruen' did not have the modern sexual connotation of 'virgin' " - however my knowledge of the Norwegian language is scant, and far less do I have any understanding of the subtleties of changing use and meaning. If someone could clarify this I'd be very grateful. Ben Mac Dui 09:37, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
I have been accused by Eisfbnore ( talk · contribs) of actively aiding rogue users "turning WT:NORWAY into a soapbox of grievances against the Norwegian government." [9] and that I have "always been defending the socks and the trolls in their crusade against the integrity of the English Wikipedia." Eisfbnore recently received an unambiguous reprimand at WP:ANI for vigilante behavior, yet persists in leveling accusations against me of trying to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia, specifically here at WT:NORWAY.

Could someone have a look at this template? An IP user has been altering the populations without sources and changing the ordering of entries in a way that doesn't correspond even to the population figures as s/he would have them. I've reverted to a version that at least ranks the cities in the order of the populations given; however, the population figures do seem to be problematic (perhaps out-of-date)—they for the most part don't correspond to those given in our articles on the individual cities. Also, the source link at the top of the template mistakenly leads to information about the largest cities in Albania rather than Norway; but if one looks on the same site's list for Norway, it includes only 10 cities rather than the 20 in our template, with population figures that don't correspond at all to those in the template. Is there some source (recent census, perhaps) that can be used to straighten all this out and properly source the information in the template? I'm afraid this is quite beyond my expertise.

Just noticed this: Category:Norwegian military athletes. What is a military athlete? A sportsperson who competes in specific military events such as military pentathlon? A sportsperson who served in the military while active on an elite level, before, or later? Is the one-year compulsory service enough, or would they have to attend befalsskole or krigsskole?

When adding info to the Norwegian Football Cup finals in the beginning of the 20th century, I often find wikiarticles about people with identical names that was between 20 and 30 years at the time of the final, which indicates that it could be the same person. If you for instance look at Niels Onstad, do you believe it is likely that the former shipowner and art collector played in the 1928 Norwegian Football Cup final? I'm not going to do any own research and change anything without a source, but I'm curious if people notable for anything else then being a footballer could have won the football cup when they were "young".

There is a discussion in the talk:Religion in Norway pages on the status of the Norwegian Humanist Association and how it should be dealt with in that article. The first issue is whether a line should show for it in a bar chart and a second issue is whether the article should be renamed to reflect that legally Humanism is a "life stance" and not a religion though as far as I can see for many practical purposes it is treated like a religious denomination.

I am quite uncomfortable bringing this up, but I feel a need to ask if others have the same impressions about two accounts that are fairly prolific in some of the same areas as the other socks of banned sockmaster Sju hav ( talk · contribs), namely Roghue ( talk · contribs · count · logs · page moves · block log) and Pass a Method ( talk · contribs · count · logs · page moves · block log). Could Sju hav have been operating several simultaneous accounts, yet keeping activity and focus of some in such a manner that they went undetected until the more activist-focused accounts were blocked?

Hello! I am interested in theater history and are currently focusing on the first professional actress in Norway, whom I have identified as Christiane Hansen. The first permanent professional public theater in Norway was as I understand the theatre of Johan Peter Strömberg in Oslo in 1827. In this article: [10], Christiane Hansen (later married Lang Bocher) is briefly mentioned as the first actress of note on that theatre. But that is all. I have found nothing more. Does any one here now anything more? At least the year of birth and death? Is she perhaps more easy to find under a different name? I do think she should have an article here, and given information, I would gladly start it myself. Thank you.-- Aciram ( talk) 18:03, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I have been looking at biographical stubs of unelected officials, particularly non-notable, very short orphaned articles lacking references etc. I’ve found a set of 97 articles at Category:Norwegian diplomat stubs, which seem to fit this pattern.
The standard of notability has been set at WP:DIPLOMAT which explains, "Diplomats who have participated in a significant way in events of particular diplomatic importance that have been written about in reliable secondary sources. Sufficient reliable documentation of their particular role is required." May I ask which Norwegian publications should be regarded as “reliable secondary sources”?

English_exonyms#Norway. Can someone check this please. See also article Talk. Many thanks. In ictu oculi ( talk) 04:33, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
In the intro (if you will), in the third paragraph and the last few sentences I found a few sentences that came across as fairly biased:
Key domestic issues include immigration and integration of ethnic minorities, maintaining the country's extensive social safety net with an aging population, and preserving economic competitiveness.[2][11] Petroleum industry accounts for around a quarter of the country's gross domestic product.[12]
I do not know if this group are made up of Norwegians, but I myself is a Norwegian, and I find it a bit odd that "immigration and integration of ethnic minorities" are lined up as number one here. It made me think that it is probably someone who votes for FrP who wrote it.
I strongly recomend you change it. It is in fact not such a big issue in Norway that it even deserves mentioning here. At least if you insist on keeping it there, please put it last, at the very least.
Thank you.

As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).
Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.
If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot ( talk) (for Mr. Z-man) 05:19, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi all,
My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.
One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

Hello, |
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej ( talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Someone recently created the page Fredrik Skogsrud and it's nominated for deletion as a BLP without any sources. So far I can't find anything that really shows that he's notable enough for an entry. I found an article in a smallish newspaper, but so far nothing else. Anyone want to see if they can find anything? The article asserts that he's known for one show, but I don't speak/read Norwegian and I can't tell exactly how notable his role was within the show. I get the impression it's a minor character, though. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 16:10, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Has it ever been discussed here (and consensus found) on whether Norway articles ought to use US or British English? It might be advantageous to determine that at the Project level, or at least to involve more people in the discussion. It would be nice to avoid argument about this in future. The matter is being discussed/argued at the article Norway, not on the Talk page but in these edit summaries:
I understand the argument for British English; that variant has been taught in Norwegian schools for a very long time and Britain is one of Norway's nearest neighbours. However, WP:ENGVAR says to decide this matter by consensus for each article, so deciding it for a whole Project may be considered to be against the rules. ENGVAR also specifies how to act if consensus is not reached. I'd rather see a 2014 consensus.
Regarding the article "Norway", I took a look at the last version in 2001. There I found both "organized" (USA) and "defences" (Brit.), so the matter was not settled then.

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

One of the other wikipedias is having problems with the following topic: the powers that be, are not allowing text about the number of whistleblowers in the case and the number of police officers under investigation by the national police internal affairs investigators, in the Monica police investigation. (4 people of each category so far.) Other details about the case: an 8 year old allegedly committed suicide, the police investigation was laid to rest, a whistleblower on the police force results in renewed investigation, one suspect arrested (for the original crime) and a police chief stepping aside after the National Prosecutor chewed his hide. Involved in the case on the other wikipedia, and blocking contributors of the article, is an administrator who previously removed text and citation about local nationals being involved in a local massacre during World War Two.

- It is used often in some promotion, yes.
- Is it okay for you?
- It has not led to any permanent damage, but I can get a bit annoyed. But aside from that, so am I doing fine. I do not go home and cry and lies in the fetal position at night, says Skavlan.

The AFD debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nazarian Para PMC hinges on the reliability of sourcing and the degree of coverage in the Norwegian press. Because many of the sources are video clips of Norwegian television, translation software isn't going to be any help; it will need a Norwegian speaker to determine which of these videos are reliable sources by Wikipedia's standards, and whether the coverage in these sources is significant or just passing mentions. (Note: although I'm shown as the nominator, this is purely procedural as I'm the admin who restored it when the original WP:PROD deletion was challenged; this is not a topic on which I have any opinion.) ‑ Iridescent 09:58, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

The article on Synnøve Macody Lund was rewritten by this former Professor and WP regular at the request of a reader, which coincided with the premiere of an English-language subtitled version of a television series featuring this actor. The aim was to make the article encyclopedic. My knowledge of Norwegian and Danish are limited, but I have done the best that I can to ensure that information appearing is sourced. (Almost all remaining unsourced material was taken from the Norwegian language wikipedia articles for tis actor, or for her former partner.) The matters of the tags appearing, and the numbers of citations appearing, are either self-evident or are discussed in Talk sections (to date, of which, I have been the only contributor). Please feel free to move this further, using new or better sources, and/or to correct any mistakes I have made in choosing and extracting information from the non-English language references. Otherwise, please note, reFill was inoperative at time of this editing, so all citations were filled manually (!). The aim there was to make them uniform, so as to create a standard for further additions. (Per WP policies, I followed citation appearances and date formats already appearing.) Cheers, and bonne chance. Le Prof 73.211.138.148 ( talk) 17:44, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
We have a new article Cannabis in Norway, but it could really use improvement and expansion, especially from anyone who can read Norwegian sources. With a little polishing, it'd also be really useful to make a translated version for Norwegian Wikipedia since it's a topic of increasing interesting these days.

Greetings WikiProject Norway/Archive 4 Members!
This is a one-time-only message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:
If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.
Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.
Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.
Best regards, Stevietheman — Delivered: 18:05, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
The Gender by Language statistics for last week show astonishingly good results for the Norwegian (bokmål) wiki. Out of 515 new biographies, 256 or 49.71%, were on women. Overall, Norwegian is also the best European language for women's biographies with 21.83%. By contrast, the EN wiki is at 16.77%.-- Ipigott ( talk) 09:14, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I was wondering if I could get some clarification from anyone who knows anything about Norwegian politics/elections. In cleaning up some orphaned articles, I came across Asle Amundsen, who is listed as a deputy representative from 1985-1989. He was never a regular representative, apparently. Can anyone clarify what this means in terms of what a deputy rep actually does politically? Is a deputy rep an elected official in the same way that a regular representative is? Are they like an assistant to the representative? Are they considered to be fully members of the legislature in the same way that a regular representative is?
I guess what I'm trying to determine is, overall, how notable is a deputy representative compared to a representative. Obviously a regular representative is notable by way of the notability guideline for politicians, but I'm not sure where a deputy rep would fall on that guideline. Any help would be fantastic, thanks :) ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 11:42, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
I'm totally neutral on the terminology. I'm only using what is being used in a number of articles on enwiki already. My concern is whether or not someone who was only ever a vara and never a regular representative might be considered a "member" of the Storting, for the purposes of determining notability by way of WP:NPOL. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 08:43, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
I don't follow this discussion page. Any deputy who actually meets in parliamentary session are considered MPs. We have first, second, third deputies and so on, and the fourth or fifth deputy might never meet in Parliament and are thus not notable. Cheers, Geschichte ( talk) 22:02, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
Hey folks! Can anyone confirm that Sandbakken, Sarpsborg is indeed a place? I can't find any mention of it on Google or Google Books (except for a school which appears to be called Sandbakken, but I can't figure out if it's in Sandbakken). The search hits I can find are otherwise all of people surnamed Sandbakken. If I search Geonames the only populated place that comes up is in Oslo. (Also if it is indeed a place and you can add a reference to the article, you'll be my hero). Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks! Ajpolino ( talk) 01:38, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Rudolf Elias Peersen is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rudolf Elias Peersen until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Theprussian ( talk) 20:28, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.
A list of the relevant links on pages which fall within the remit of this wikiproject can be found at http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/topic_points.py?banner=WikiProject_Norway

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:50, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
In the article Kingdom of Norway (1814) the flag has been changed back to a version that is not correct. The lion has too many elements based on fantasy and does not correspond to the picture it's based on. This file, No. 1 in the gallery, should not be used in any articles.

maria by leigh
Maria is a painting that has a dark history In 1703 a women named maria painted a picture she named it after herself and people believe that she even mixed her own blood in it now maria kept this painting in her attic as she didn't want her husband to know about it but years later in 1724 she passed away and somebody else moved in they discovered the painting and hanged it on the wall they just thought it was a normal painting that they'd put in the the attic but little did they know its secrets. About a week after the painting was hanged on the wall straight away the home owners noticed its strange behaviour the home owners claim they would hear weird noises coming from the painting and also the painting would stare right at them and and they even claimed that the women's eyes in the painting would move of course this creeped them out and they took it down and threw it out but a few days later it was on the wall and the creepy thing is when the home owners asked each other if they'd hanged it back up they all said no of course a few days later they asked the local church to come and sage there house and when they did the spirit was the spirit of maria and that shed killed her husbands sister and it turns out the blood on the painting thought to be hers was her husbands sisters of course the home owners were shocked and put the painting back in the attic. The painting was discovered in 1966 in the attic of the home and put in a museum its not known what museum but at least its safe now put people who apparently dare to look at the painting for too long will die or will have bad luck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.236.224 ( talk) 20:14, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi WP:NORWAY, I recently created an article for Hjelmsgate 3 in Oslo and I was wondering how best to describe it (never visited it in the flesh). I started off calling Hjelmsgate a cultural centre but on reflection if its run by the Stiftelsen Arbeidskollektivet then I suppose it is self-managed.

So far, articles no:Bølareinen and no:Helleristningene i Kvennavika are finished at GA-level in norwegian, and available for translation. The next article will be no:Helleristningene på Evenhus within some weeks.

Hi! I've managed to establish notability for the film 5 Lies, but it looks like there's more out there about the movie. If not reviews, then at least coverage of the director apparently having a melt down when his film wasn't a hit. I'm kind of butchering the translations here since I'm using Google Translate - can someone help search for sources and flesh out the article? I'm trying to do what I can, but I feel like I'm not getting all that much with a US Google search. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 14:00, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Fridtjof Nansen Land was a significant part of the unsuccessful 1931-1933 attempt by the Kingdom of Norway to annex parts of Greenland. I'm not a capable wiki editor and don't know how to acceptably rectify this but I couldn't help noticing that it is not linked to in any way by the article for it's namesake: Fridtjof Nansen. 2A02:C7D:B612:AD00:E83C:C796:568:B426 ( talk) 23:24, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Most articles about Norwegian railway transport (in English) are extremely outdated as most still state that Vy (formerly NSB) operates services, whereas in fact only about half are operated by Vy nowadays. The other large numbers of services are operated by SJ Nord (aka SJ Norge) and the Go-Ahead group in specific areas accordingly. Please can someone who knows what's going on update this, as I don't have the huge time commitment to do it right now. Thanks! FlyingScotsman72 ( talk) 03:47, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

I am not very satisfied with the norwegian folklore content on Wikipedia. I'm of norwegian descent and would like to learn more about the legends, culture and such of norway, and folklore is a good way to learn about any culture, really. who agrees? Tarulliah ( talk) 04:48, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi - I laughed when I saw it's listed under paranormal. The phenomenon appears to be explained rationally now - and it's directly linked to geology of the area and mining. So the article could use some new classification. I haven't updated anything yet - I don't really know the subject. There's a link to the research on the talk page. Comments, edits welcome. Feel free to ping. Thelisteninghand ( talk) 22:27, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
I was hoping that there might be some sort of news coverage that isn't a primary source like this, a blog, or Bitter Winter (which is considered unreliable on the perennial sources list), which seems to be what comes up when I search for this in English. But apparently this is something that Norway's supreme court has ruled on (specifically that they have the right to practice disfellowshipping) but that they are also losing their funding as a registered religious community. This seems like the sort of thing that should have some sort of independant and reliable coverage in Norweigan, so I was hoping maybe someone could verify that for me?

The order of the monuments is not well understood and, so as not to risk making a mistake, I don't intend to change the order of the monuments (for information: I left the order unchanged; I only corrected the wikilinks and explained the order better, but it is the same order: Oslo.

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

We have List of municipalities of Norway and List of municipality numbers of Norway, which would seem to be ripe for merging, but apparently not, per this discussion. Can the latter page be merged into List of former municipalities of Norway instead? Something really should be done. The current situation is… suboptimal. - dcljr ( talk) 16:56, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
