Hi Lars,

My name is Alyssa and I am the granddaughter of Norman B. Larsen II, the inventor of WD40.

I can assure you that your information is incorrect. My grandfather IS the inventor of WD40. He was a self taught chemist and started his company out of his garage and WD40 was actually one of the few inventions he had. I spent my childhood listening to stories from my grandmother, in detail, about how this began, his struggles, his success and the turn of events that caused him to sell this product. Not all a happy story. There are many first hand experiences that come directly from my grandmother and father (Norman B. Larsen III). I am a little curious as to how you came across your information.

Hi Alyssa, I am not entirely sure as to what information you are referring to. Do you mean the one in the List of Norwegian Americans article? If so, that text is taken directly from the Norman Larsen page (which someone else has written). Do change it if you think it is incorrect, but be aware that some people in here can be a bit, well, harsh if the information cannot be verified by official documents or publications (I am talking from experience here :))

I was actually very surprised to find out that WD40 was invented by someone of Norwegian descent, so that is why I decided to add his name to the "American people of Norwegian descent" category and add his name to the list of Norwegian Americans. Do you happen to know where in Norway his and your family is from? And perhaps also when your ancestors moved to the US?

Ajungilak moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Ajungilak, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ƒirefly ( t · c · who? ) 18:51, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
