Nav-box
Hello... How do I insert the standard navigation-box? I'd like to have one on my user-page. Geir 11:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * navigation-box?..what type of navigation box? Cometstyles 12:06, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * What exactly are you looking for? Could you point us to an example of what you want? --ais523 12:09, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The content-box with numbering 1, 2, 2.1 and so on. Like after 53.98 km². Thanks for all help!!  Geir 18:29, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * There's two ways. First, it'll automatically appear immediately above the first section heading, if you have four (or five?) sections on the page. Second, you can force it to appear by adding the  keyword onto the page (just copy-paste it in, the box will appear wherever you add it). –  Luna Santin  (talk) 08:51, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot all of you! Geir 10:32, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Countering systemic bias open tasks
I just opened a new task. You thought you might be interested in this issue.
 * Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countering systemic bias open tasks

I am not sure this is propper or not, yet. Since I have been fighting editing at Japanese Wiki, I started to think this can be one of the solutions.--Shoons 17:24, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. An article you recently created, Crimson Circle (Shaumbra), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Kim Dent-Brown  (Talk to me)  13:26, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Crimson Circle (Shaumbra)
If you check that deletion log again, you'll see that the page has actually been deleted twice, once by myself, and once by another administrator. I'm sorry if you feel frustrated, but this deletion was completely within process. The article in question did not assert notability of it's subject and provided no secondary sources whatsoever. You may wish to brush on the notability requirements, specifically the requirements for organizations and companies. You may also wish to look over the criteria for speedy deletion. If you can provide evidence of notablity, from independent reliable sources, the deleted content can be retrieved. Natalie 13:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * None of those meets the notability criterion: 'A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.' So far, you have not demonstrated that this topic is notable. And don't forget to assume good faith. Natalie 13:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Whether or not primary sources are considered reliable is sort of besides the point. Primary sources might be a great source of information, but they don't establish notability. In order to establish notability, we use secondary sources, because they demonstrate that other groups or people or organizations care about the subject, not just the subject itself. When it comes to organizations and institutions this is especially important because they frequently write about themselves (issuing press releases and so on). Thus, the organization having written about itself doesn't demonstrate that's it's notable. Primary sources are perfectly fine sources of information about the subject, once notability has been established. For example, we could use primary sources in George Washington - his letters and papers and so on - to provide us with raw information. But to establish his notability we turn to secondary (and in his case, tertiary) sources.


 * As far as what you can contribute on, you may be able to add content to an existing article. Since you speak Norwegian, you could help by translating pages from Norwegian Wikipedia to English for this Wikipedia. You could also provide and translate Norwegian-language sources for articles. WikiProject Norway might be able to point you to articles that could use your help. Natalie 14:43, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The text will be pasted to /Crimson Circle in a minute. Natalie 14:56, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Linking to portal
Hi! I'm trying to make a link on a Norwegian page. I want to add the Portal: Musikk (music) to the Portal-linking on the page. But I don't know how to do it. Maybe you can explain this to me? Geir 11:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello! Add to the page. BTW, it might be better to ask further questions about this on the Norwegian wikipedia. Cheers! Henrik 11:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Henrik! Geir 13:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
