Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Oro2! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! 13:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Your edit to List of countries by Muslim population

Icelanders are not Norwegian!!!
I just spent two hours of my valuable time purging the Norwegian Canadian article of the additions you made concerning Icelandic Canadians, which would be like adding Polish Canadian to Russian Canadian or Irish Canadian to Scottish Canadian. Please do not re-add them, or I will have to cite you for malicious or at best time-wasting WP:Original research. Icelanders are distinct from Norwegians, in Canada as well as in Scandinavia.....Skookum1 (talk) 17:13, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Looking at your user page, it appears you are Norwegian and live in Bergen. You should know better than to create such false history/false information about Scandinavian ethnicities.  Unless, perhaps, you believe that Norwegians are really Danish....Skookum1 (talk) 17:14, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

No original research
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Religion in Ethiopia
That table you just added looks great, good work. Do you know how to make it so that you can put in whatever order of highest to lowest that you want? I would do it, but I don't know how...! Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 14:00, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you. You can use the "wikitable sortable" to do it, if I have understood you right. Is there a way that, for example, "List of countries by population," you think of? :)Oro2 (talk) 14:07, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * That sounds like what I'm talking about. I still haven't fully got into learning table syntax, so I don't want to mess it up, but you would be able to click the arrow on each column to sort it in numerical or alphabetical order. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 14:10, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, right!=)

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Democratic Republic of the Congo – Norway relations.
