 * Hello AGreenEarth! I am an experienced person on this site, I just made a new account so I could upgrade to the new version, because the old one had some bugs that made it hard to edit the same time as listening to Internet radio. My old name is Roslagen and I've done thousands of edits both here and in the Swedish-languaged version. So no need for introduction! Happy endings! Lommaren (talk) 16:13, 28 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the information. If I had known that earlier, I would have not welcomed you again. --AGreenEarth (talk) 14:14, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in debate
Dear Lommaren,

Your recent posts suggest you might be interested in this ongoing argument.

Names in other languages and hyperspecific information
Hello, please do not add names in other languages of places where the language is not commonly spoken, as you did to Nice, among others. Also, there's no point in adding hyper-specific details about sports to major city articles, as you did to Liverpool and Northern Ireland. They'd be far better in sub-articles like Sport in Northern Ireland and articles about Liverpool's football clubs. And when you add these details, you must cite your sources.

Oceanic Climate Changes
Hello Lommaren. We appreciate the changes you made to the Oceanic climate page. We had a debate about the listing of charts a while back and it was decided that we did not want a gallery of charts on the individual Koppen climate pages. Otherwise, what would happen is that many would then insert their favorite city’s chart into the page creating an even larger gallery. Roughly three cities (from typically different continents) are enough per page. G. Capo (talk) 14:52, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Belozersk, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Isotherm. 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.

Addition of title years to F1 team navboxes
Hi Lommaren. FYI, I have started a discussion at WP:F1 about your recent addition of title years to F1 team navboxes. You are welcome to participate in the discussion. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 10:21, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Template:Tyrrell
I'm curious as to why you did not add 1969 to Tyrrell's drivers title to this template. --Falcadore (talk) 14:20, 10 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello! I am fully aware that Tyrrell was the "team" running Jackie Stewart that season, but since Matra was the constructor and the template is assuming teams and constructors as the same thing as far as I understand it and therefore I did not add their double titles. The first car that Tyrrell themselves constructed debuted in 1970, with Jackie having started the season driving a March ran by Tyrrell. So it's above all a question of definitions. Since Matra is listed as the car for 1969 I thought it'd be confusing to add that season to Tyrrell's template. Lommaren (talk) 15:43, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Zweden listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Zweden. Since you had some involvement with the Zweden redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Compassionate727 (talk) 19:18, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

F1 driver changes
Hi Lommaren. Just to let you know, we only include information that is directly relevant to the season in question on each season article. Things like driver/team changes that only affect the succeeding seasons are covered by those season articles. Thanks. QueenCake (talk) 19:27, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

ITFC colours
Hey, thanks for the reasonable reaction to my undo of your edit. Blue and white is simply what we would associate with Town, I don't recall anyone ever in my entire life referring to it as "azure" whether that's technically correct or not. Certainly one of the reasons that we have the nickname of "The Blues" rather than "The Azures" is because we all associate the club with blue shirts, not azure ones. For most of my life, it's been a rather dark blue, much like Everton as you noted, and never anywhere near as light as Coventry or Man City. Cheers.

edits to "Bulgaria" page on February 4, 2016
The changes on February 4, 2016 removed the map of landcover that I had submitted for the Bulgaria page. The map was not moved to the "Geography of Bulgaria" page. Will you please explain why you removed the article from the main Bulgaria page and whether I may submit it to the geography page?

Roberto Firmino
See WP:BRD - please do not re-add content that has been challenged and removed, without first reaching agreement on the article talk page. GiantSnowman 10:16, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) The source does not confirm what you have written; 2) even if it did, how is it notable? GiantSnowman 10:20, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * No, I did read the article. I read where it said there is a new stand. I saw that Firmino was the first scorer. I did not see where the source said "Firmino was the first scorer in front of the new stand" - that is WP:OR. Also, you have still not answered my question about why the content is even notable, which is surely the bigger question. GiantSnowman 10:32, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

The 10,000 Challenge
Hi. I've noticed the good work you do on here. I was wondering if you'd be interested in contributing to this ambitious British Isles challenge to bringing about 10,000 improvements to the UK and Ireland. The drive is fuelled by regional contests every few months, but it is generally an ongoing content improvement development. If you'd be interested in chipping in with the articles you improve please add your name to the participants and start adding your entries to the big list. Diversity of input will make it much more interesting to peruse! Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:29, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Weather boxes
Hi there. I see you do a lot of edits to weather boxes so I'm hoping you can help. Most of my edits are to small US towns, and very often I come across a short article with a very wide weather box. Have a look at Hobbs, New Mexico. This is a problem because the weather box is so wide that it bumps into the infobox, creating a ton of white-space. (at Hobbs, a previous editor actually moved the climate section to the bottom of the article to prevent this). In instances like this, is there an easy tweak to the weather box to make it narrow instead of wide? Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 10:46, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 09:58, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge
--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:37, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
Hi, WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
