Odegaard vandalism
Just to let you know I've requested that the page be protected from vandalism. Where do these Manchester United fantasists get their news from? &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 15:13, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! Yeah, apparently there were some rumours on SkySports News earlier today.Cashewnøtt (talk) 16:48, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

That still doesn't explain the rogue who changed Ødegaard's team to West Brom! Anyway, it's protected for a week, we can sleep easier. Man U fans have wild imaginations, recently two made Stefan de Vrij join the club only a week after he signed for Lazio! &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 21:49, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Odegaard
Hi, when I write using sources in the languages I understand (French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese), I put an English translation of the title afterwards. This can be done with brackets or adding trans_title= into the reference code. As the article on Martin Ødegaard, particularly in references to his club career, use sources from the Norwegian media, I would be immensely grateful if you would have the time to add translated English titles to the references. Only if you want, of course. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 19:24, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Drammen Spiral challenge
Hi. Thanks for the fixes on Drammen Spiral. I unearthed an old school project scrap book which revealed I visited the spiral in May 1980, and was surprised not to find an article. I can find references online to a "Drammen Spiral Challenge" (eg: ) which appears to be some sort of rally race, but not being any good at Norwegian, I can't tell if that's a timed trial in the spiral or something completely different. Can you help? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  12:53, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Hejhej
Thanks for running over the Martin Ødegaard article, you've been a great help all through its creation. I've improved on basically all the points requiring English sources, so if there is any way you can help with the points that relate to Norwegian sources I will be very grateful. Thank you. &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 21:34, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

No problem. Since I come from his home town, I feel obligated to contribute. Is there anything missing now? I've added some info on his very early years, and his youth matches for the national team. Cashewnøtt (talk) 14:06, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

If the article passes, and I write a WP:DYK on it, I will credit you first before I. Your dedication to it has been better than mine, if anything I've been rather slapdash (that thing with the dashes). &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 19:09, 10 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Good to see that you are continuing with keeping the article in a fine condition, many Good Articles on footballers lose that award because they are not updated. I do appreciate your additions. I don't want to say "however", because that has a negative sound to it, but this is something to think about in the future: Martin is 16 now, he could likely play 1,000 professional matches, including over 100 international ones. We include a lot of matches because he is at the start of his career, it is difficult to separate which are the important ones and which are not. Imagine if he wins the 2030 World Cup, would it still be important to know that he was on the bench for two Euro 2016 qualifiers? Please don't take this as aggressive from me, I don't even want you to remove anything right now (I would feel like I was bullying you if you did it right now). I think we should wait until he makes a contribution in a game for Norway (goal, assist, win a penalty, miss a penalty etc.), but of course it would still be notable to write if he is not selected for Euro 2016, because he has a high profile. Takk &#39;&#39;&#39;tAD&#39;&#39;&#39; (talk) 06:12, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the kind feedback, I appreciate it. The Norwegian national team has been underperforming lately, and the Euro qualifying campaign was only salvages by the latest two wins, which came after Ødegaard was dropped from the team. That's why I thought it was important. However, it wasn't clear from what I actually wrote, which was just the basic facts. I was unsure if it was right to write what can be seen as conjecture.

Template documentation
Regarding templates, sometimes templates are temporary cleanup requests which can be removed when the situation is resolved. Others are markers which should remain in the article, even after cleanup is done. For guidance, article templates normally have some documentation to describe when and how they are used e.g. see BLP sources, EngvarB. Hope this helps. Dl2000 (talk) 16:34, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to a page, specifically Strømsgodset Toppfotball, may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:52, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Cashewnøtt. Non-free images such File:Strømsgodset IF logo.svg are required to satisfy all 10 of the non-free content criteria listed at WP:NFCCP for each usage. One of these criteria is WP:NFCC#10c which requires that a seperate, specific non-free use rationale be provided for each use of the image. There is no non-free use rationale for the "Toppfotball" article so I removed the image from the article and left the edit sum "Removed non-free image per WP:NFCCE because image lacks separate, specific non-free use rationale required by WP:NFCC. Providing a valid non-freeuse rationale is the reponsibility of the editor wishing to use the non-free image. There is, however, another problem with using the image. In your edit sum you said that Toppfotball is a division of Strømsgodset IF. This unfortunately means that the image should also not be used per Number 17 of WP:NFC. Number 17 says "The logo of a entity used for identification of one of its child entities, when the child entity lacks their own branding. Specific child entity logos remain acceptable." This means the the logo of the main organization (i.e., "the parent entity") is not supposed to be used in the articles for any of its divisions or subdivisons (i.e.,"the child entity"). It's considered OK to use a logo specific or unique to the child entity in an article about said child entity, but it's not generally considered acceptable to use the parent's logo even if the child does not have its own logo. It's a bit confusing for sure, so if you have any questions please feel free to ask them here or at WP:FFD or WP:MCQ. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:29, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Norwegian football clubs have a weird thing going on where external investors are not allowed to invest in the club, so most of the top division sides have a separate entity (with private ownership) that competes on behalf of the club. So it's really just a legal thing, but I get your point. You should probably look into most articles of Tippeligaen. Stabæk Fotball vs Stabæk IF, for instance. Cashewnøtt (talk) 15:34, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry if my edit sums were a bit cryptic. I always try to link to the relevant policy/guidelines I am citing whenever I remove an image, but space is limited so it's hard to leave long detailed explanations. In some cases, I will also post on the article's talk page or on a user talk page with more details, but I was editing using my phone last night and long messages are hard to type on the phone. Anyway, I saw you posted at WP:MCQ, so I hope those answers sufficiently answered your question. For what it's worth, many organizations, particularly sports teams, have social media pages like Facebook and Twitter, etc. where they sometimes use a logo that is different enough from the parent entity to eliminate all of the Number 17 problems. Also, purely text logos or wordmarks are typically OK to use because text is generally considered below the threshold of originality needed to copyright something. If you find such an image and are not sure how to upload it etc. you can always ask me or someone at MCQ for help.
 * Finally, I will look at the articles you mentioned, but there are lots of articles where non-free images are being used incorrectly since many editors tend to copy images from one article to another without checking the image's licensing. Eventually someone checking finds those that shouldn't be used and removes them, but often these are simply re-added back by someone else. Since Wikipedia is a free encylopedia for primarily freely licensed content, many (mistakenly) assume that everything added to it is also "free" (i.e., not protected y copyright). -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:53, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
