Disambiguation link notification for March 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1910 Svenska Mästerskapet Final, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Einar Olsson. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Help with a project...or two
Hej Johan! Jag ska nu på allvar börja med några fotbollsrelaterade projekt som du hittar här. Egentligen har jag väl indirekt arbetat med dem ända sedan jag tog min första stapplande steg på Wikipedia, men nu känner jag att det är dags att lägga på ett kol! Jag vet att du, precis som jag i viss mån, har bra koll på i alla fall IFK Göteborg så det hade varit väldigt kul om vi kunde hjälpas åt och samarbeta! Vad det gäller landslaget kan jag lägga upp det i Sweden task force då det berör alla. // Mattias321 (talk) 09:37, 26 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Hej! Jag har tyvärr ytterst sporadiskt med tid för Wikipedia nuförtiden, och gör mestadels stötinsatser bara någon gång ibland (som du kanske har märkt). Men jag hjälper så klart gärna till när jag har den lilla tiden. – Elisson • T • C • 20:26, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Translation of Blåvitt
By translating "Blåvitt" into "The Blue-White" there's less of a chance seeing things like "In the next round they meet the Blåvitt", instead of the more correct "In the next round they meet Blåvitt". Aikclaes (talk) 06:03, 22 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Perhaps, but Wikipedia does not exist to simplify translation of each non-English word for people, but to tell people facts. If the Swedish nickname is used in a specific form (no article), then of course the English translation should use the same form (also no article). See for example the colour nickname for Hertha BSC where the German form has an article, and thus the translation also has it. Or the nicknames for Real Sociedad where the colour nickname does not have an article in original or translation, but the other nick has. – Elisson • T • C • 14:17, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins) .MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

March Madness 2017
G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Idrottsföreningen Kamraterna


The article Idrottsföreningen Kamraterna has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "no sources"

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 notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Name of IFK Göteborg fans
Hi, I saw you reverted me edit where I added what a fan of IFK Göteborg is called in Swedish. I think it is highly appropriate in a section about supporters of IFK Göteborg. Also, I cannot think of any other words for them than IFK:are. You claim there are a multitude of words, so can you mention three other words that refer to a fan of the club? Aikclaes (talk) 18:15, 21 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Three other words: Blåvit, Kamrat, Ängel. (IFK) Göteborgare could probably also be added to the list of common names for IFK Supporters, besides terms like IFK-supporter, Blåvittsupporter and so on. My main point though, was that the content isn't really encyclopedic. The very standard Swedish "-are" suffix used to form a term for persons associated with a town or organisation doesn't give any encyclopedic information.
 * Looking through the other Featured Articles on football clubs (21 in total excluding IFK Göteborg), only three (I do not count Malmö FF were you just added the information, I suggest you self-revert it) give any additional information on what supporters are called. Arsenal F.C. mention "Gooners" and the background to that name. FC Barcelona mention "culé" and the background to that name. Liverpool F.C. mention "Kopites" and the background to that name.
 * In all three cases, these names are not directly derived from the club name or any club nickname, and thus has some merit on its own. The supporters of the other 19 Featured Article clubs of course also are called something, but that's just not encyclopedic enough to warrant a mention.
 * While we are at it, could you please source the content you are adding? I appreciate most edits you do, but they would be even better if your sourced them. Take for example this edit and your subsequent edits to that paragraph. I've added a source for it now, but it can be problematic if you add content without backing it up with a source. Especially since the mentioned edit was actually incorrect ("five companies visible") which you later corrected. – Elisson • T • C • 18:59, 21 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I have searched the internet for all the three examples you provided of the "multitude" of names for IFK supporters you claim exists, and I have struggled to find hits for "en blåvit", "en ängel", "en kamrat" referring to an IFK Göteborg supporter. I found several examples of "IFK Göteborgare" though. Granted, "Blåvitt" and "Änglarna" are often used to refer to mainly the team itself, but we are discussing what an IFK Göteborg supporter is usually called in Swedish. Aikclaes (talk) 22:57, 21 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I can definitely see people coming to this page to look up what a team's supporter is called in the team's native language, no matter how obvious it might be to a Swede, so I don't see why this info should be left out altogether. And even though the ending -are is very common in Swedish, it can't be added to all club names to form the name of a supporter of the club. Aikclaes (talk) 22:57, 21 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Currently the section about IFK Göteborg's supporters has more of a "history of" feel to it. I'm not saying that info is irrelevant, but I definitely think it's better to first state what a supporter of a club is called, then go on about the history of the club's support, maybe under a sub paragraph. Aikclaes (talk) 22:57, 21 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the suggestion to source my edits more often. I can definitely improve in this area. I admit having a lack of knowledge about what sources would be relevant in the case you mentioned. Could the whole paragraph I added about kit logos be sourced to a link with a photo of the current kit, or does each sponsor need a separate source? Aikclaes (talk) 22:57, 21 September 2017 (UTC)


 * How have you struggled with that? Some example usages for the names (including inflections):
 * "Blåvit"
 * "Ängel" (
 * "Kamrat"
 * I also find it quite peculiar that you as an AIK supporter is arguing with me, an IFK supporter and author of a book about IFK supporter culture, about what we are called.
 * Yes, people could probably look for a lot of things on Wikipedia in general. That's not an argument for inclusion. Read WP:NOTEVERYTHING. And no, stating what an IFK supporter is usually called does not help with giving the section less of a "history of" feel.
 * Again, what supporters are called is generally not encyclopedic content, unless, as said it differs greatly from the club name or nicknames.
 * With regards to sources, I suggest you read up on WP:RS, WP:CS, and WP:OR. – Elisson • T • C • 12:29, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

2017 Military Historian of the Year and Newcomer of the Year nominations and voting

Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

User group for Military Historians
Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

IFK Göteborg
Thanks for good cooperation on this article. The paragraph about their clubhouse is, however, rather inclear. Their first clubhouse was used mainly by other sport departments in the club. Was Kamratgården always used solely by the football department? I figured so, but however it may be, this should be made clear. Aikclaes (talk) 17:23, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It has been used by most departments from time to time. I don't think this needs to be clarified though, and I don't have a source for it. As always I appreciate your help in cleaning up the language, but don't forget to add references supporting the information you add (such as the addition about the entrance music). – Elisson • T • C • 20:02, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. And thanks for the remark about references. One of my weak points, no doubt. I can't figure out though what in the entrance-music section needs references. I just added a link to the not yet created page about the statue. Unfortunately only available in Swedish currently.
 * Any edit is always better if vetted by another good editor, so I appreciate your efforts as well. :-) Aikclaes (talk) 15:55, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Regarding references, take a look at WP:V to understand the concept of sourcing information added to articles. Basically all information you added in that sentence needs to be sourced to somewhere. – Elisson • T • C • 19:42, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
 * updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
