Time for a Wikipedia:WikiProject_Norway? -- Egil 14:32, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Image:Mccoy_Tyner_1973_gh.jpg

It is my pleasure to tell you that the McCoy Tyner image has been promoted to Featured Picture. Congratulations. Raven4x4x 09:01, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gisle, just to let you know that your photo Image:Mccoy_Tyner_1973_gh.jpg is due to make an appearance as Pic of the Day on the 8th January. As this will be a weekend, it should also appear on the Main Page. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/January 8, 2006. -- Solipsist 08:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Region?

We need to review the terms used for various types of regions of Norway, esp. the current erroneous term "landscape", but also landsdel and tettsted. See for instance Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Norway#.22Landscape.22. -- Egil 16:10, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Hi Gisle,

My name is Fernanda Viégas and I have been studying Wikipedia for a while now (you can see a paper I published on the subject here). I would like to ask you a few questions about your activities as a Wikipedia photographer. I am fascinated by the pictorial side of Wikipedia and it would be great to hear about this community from one of its members. Would you be available for an email interview? Thanks, — Fernanda 00:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC) | talk[reply]

Sure! But I just saw your note, so it may be too late? I don't check my talk page that often, so it is better to send me email (see http://folk.uio.no/gisle/cntctuk.html for address). - gisle h. 11:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Kristian solmer vedel

Your recent edit to Kristian solmer vedel (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // AntiVandalBot 22:02, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The idea is that pages are never to be blanked. If the content is good, but the title is wrong, they should be moved. If they are no good, they should be deleted or replaced by good content as the case may be. -- Egil 13:33, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination for delisting

Hi there. A picture you uploaded to Wikipedia is currently being considered for de-listing from Featured status due to it no longer meeting the minimum size requirements. If you would care to take part in the discussion, you can find it here. Matt Deres (talk) 02:19, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimania 2010 could be coming to Stockholm!

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! 11:03, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Gisle! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 5 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Lars Monrad Krohn - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Articles about yourself

Just to let you know, you can't make articles about yourself. -JC ^{Talk to me} _{My contributions} 09:20, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed

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

Proposed deletion of File:Prontor compur female gh.png

The file File:Prontor compur female gh.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
