 * Woaah. Now you are making stuff confusing. Please stick to en-wiki for en-wiki matters, it took me a while to figure out "Sweden" meant "Swedish Wikipedia". But well: what kind of document is it? From what office? If it's an official document, it's bound to be published somewhere. And, remember, that it's true doesn't mean it should be included - if there has been no news reports or anything about it, it's hardly notable enough for inclusion. Stating that "Infon ska in, så enkelt är det" will ~hardly promote healthy discussion about it. Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 23:22, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

defaultsort is your friend!
Hello! I noticed your edit to Mikael Odenberg, so I thought I should drop by and tell you about the wonders of.

A sortkey is an alternative term the article should be sorted by when listed in a category. For example to add an article called Albert Einstein to the category "people" and have the article sorted by "Einstein, Albert". You would type " ". This kind of sortkey you successfully added to Mikael Odenberg in your edit.

But, I reverted most of your edit! Why? Because there is a feature called "Default sort key", which changes the default sort key used by categories from the name of the article to the one specified with the magic word. Instead of adding |Odenberg, Mikael you simply add  above the categories, which I had already done in this case.

Thank you for your otherwise very valuable contribution! Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 11:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Ooh, neat. I didn't see that. Apparently, this is a new function in MediaWiki 1.10. That's really handy knowledge for the other Wikimedia projects that I'm involved in as well. Thanks for letting me know! —LX (talk, contribs) 11:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Chemsitry Comments
I have noticed that you seem to spend a lot of time commenting on chemistry articles, claiming that they need to be either put in context or wikified. I was wondering if you could put in context your own level of knowledge in chemistry, so that the articles can be reeditted to be applicable to your own level of knowledge. With the chemical reaction stubs, I have been assuming that people will generally be looking at them if they have a basic level of chemical knowledge (i.e. one of about an A-Level student in England) and will not need a full explanation of why the reaction proceeds as it does. If this does not fulfil your ideals what else will I need to add, complete mechanisms with comments of facial and stereo selectivities and such. If so this is simply not possible as there will be a large amount of repeated information on Wikipedia. Please get back to me on this topic. - Curious Gregor


 * Hello! Eh. Lately I've indeed been editing chemistry articles; BUT only to remove improper categories (such as those you added to, well, a damn lot of articles). Using AutoWikiBrowser. On some, tags such as have been posted, but not many. I may have edited one or two chemical reaction stubs, but I don't know which ones. Point out more specifically which articles you refer to and I'll see what I can do. Do note, however, that my knowledge of chemistry is extremely basic, and my contributions to chemistry articles have only been clean-up/maintenance work.  Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 16:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Its okay. I'm a qualified chemist, but you seem to be suggesting for example on the Bechamp Reaction that more detail is needed. To me it seems clear. Also on the category front, they were not incorrectly labelled. I have been putting them into the topmost category they can go into so as to create a list of all the chemists that appear on wikipedia. This is because it is otherwise hard to see who may or may not need to be added. I have been finding your editting very unhelpful in removing them from this category. I have not said anything as you seem likely to start an edit war. I have made suggestions in the ways to improve wikipedia about categorisation as it is currently a very poor set up. I would appreciate your help in getting this idea across to m ore people so we can rectify our disagreement about categorisation. - Curious Gregor - Synthesis for all 16:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I understand your thinking, but the current classification guidelines state that they shouldn't be included in top-level categories if lower-level categories are available. Why? Because otherwise the categories would become mindbogglingly big. Not in the case of Category:Chemists perhaps, but think of Category:Politicians... see Categorization, point 3. As you do have a point, we still have List of chemists - which you suggested be deleted (or, well, merged into the Category namespace). You should know, however, that there are ways to extract data from a category and its subcategories using some tools, see for example User:PockBot. Just as a last note, please refrain from adding articles to top-level categories for now, and instead wait to see if you manage to push through your policy changing suggestion - that is however not very likely. Cheers! Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 16:38, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I shall continue doing it my way, you can keep doing it yours. For Chemists it is stupid to classify them by country as if they are notable there impact will spread worldwide and they do not necessarily work in the countries they came from. For example the Curies should only be in the category Polish Chemsits by your way of thinking. However, this would confuse many people who incorrectly believe them to be French. Whilst if they are in the uppermost category for Chemists then they an be found. I cannot see why you think the policy change is foolish, I have talked to other users on wikipedia who believe that the idea has some merit and would make it a much more intuitive website. - Curious Gregor - Synthesis for all 17:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I have thought some more on your reclassification and think that you would be far better off reclassifiying them all according to their subspecialities. This again would be more intuitive. - Curious Gregor - Synthesis for all 17:06, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * No, you will not keep doing it your way. Doing so, while knowing that it is against community consensus (as expressed in Categorization), will be considered disruptive editing (vandalism, in other words) and will get you blocked in no time. However, you seem to have misunderstood my way of thinking: you seem to think I am suggesting that articles be placed in ONE sub-category only. This is not the case. Your example, Marie Curie, is classified under Category:French chemists, Category:French physicists, Category:Polish chemists, Category:Polish physicists, Category:Radioactivity, Category:Discoverers of chemical elements, and many others. In other words, subcategories are not mutually exclusive: however, a inclusion subcategory in a subcategory excludes inclusion in a category higher up in the tree as the article then will be included twice. Do you understand? Classifying them all by subspecialities might be OK if these subspecialities are outlined with a proper definition, preferrably written in Category:Chemists by subspeciality which I suppose would be a good name for a category that would include your hypothetical speciality-categories. Whatever the case there is no need to replace the Chemists by nationality-categories. Do you understand? Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 18:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

(de-indent) User:TerriersFan apparently agrees with me, in a quite straightforward manner. Cheers. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 23:04, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * He doesn't agree with you, you got rid of diocese of Canterbury and kept Church of England, he did the opposite. Also I feel that subsections of the church of england are good categorised in that manner, whilst chemists are best not categorised by location. If you think of a famous chemist, do you immediately think, "Oooh I know where he came from". No you think "Oooh I know what work he is famous for carrying out, therefore identifying the field." This is where your reclassification fails. Hence, you are in fact making wikipedia less user friendly. Also from Marie Curie you can see taht people have incorrectly indentified her as French, which she most definitely was not. Rather she should be categorised in Category:Chemists who worked in France - Curious Gregor - Synthesis for all 10:21, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * When I removed the Diocese of Canterbury category, it did not exist. It does now, and it is a subcategory of Church of England - and as thus Church of England should be removed. And TerriersFan did remove it. Whatever the case, I don't think you see my point: I'm not saying "no" to categorizing chemists by sub-speciality, as you can do... both! So go ahead, classify them according to sub-speciality. Just don't try putting them in a top-level category when a more specific low-level category exists, just as Categorization states. Category:Chemists who worked in France does not exist and should probably not either, as Category:French chemists will do - Marie Curie lived most of her life in France and was as thus French. She was ALSO Polish, as she was born there. The category name is "French chemists", not "Chemists born in France". Do you see my point? Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 17:01, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


 * So let me get this correct. If you loved in America for a portion of your life you would consider yourself American? A French chemist would be a Chemist who is french, not a chemist who worked in france, this is just the way the english language works. So it may just be a misunderstanding on your behalf. I also still contest that chemsits can not be defined by geographical regions, like politicians can. This is because politicians will work for one specific nation (geographical entity) whilst chemists do not. I have asked a number of fellow chemists if they would ever categorise chemists by natiojnality and they all agreed that it would be a clunky categorisation, with little or no meaning. - Curious Gregor - Synthesis for all 08:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

(section break without actual use)

 * No, but if I lived in America for most of my life, I would consider myself American. In example, I was born in Dalarna in Sweden, but at the age of three I moved to Gotland, so I consider myself a Gotlander. But I would also categorize myself as as from Dalarna where I to write a Wikipedia article on myself. Whatever the case, how I would categorize myself or how you would categorize yourselves is of no importance. Marie Curie is considered french by a number of reputable sources. See WP:ATT: The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is whether material is attributable to a reliable published source, not whether it is true. Categorizing chemists by nationality is of meaning. I can image thousands upon thousands of Swedish children being asked to write about a Swedish chemist in school. Or Portuguese children writing about Portuguese chemists. It is of interest to historians - and I do think historians have more use of Wikipedia than chemists do. Nevertheless, this categorization by geographical entity is not in conflict with your proposal to categorize them by subspeciality. Let's have both!

You should really look up the facts before writing and especially before reverting to your own version. Sabuni was a member of the Riksdag from 2002 until 2006. She was not re-elected in 2006 but instead became a minister in the new government. If you don't believe me, the facts are to be seen at the web page of the Riksdag:.

Usage of fair use images in the user namespace
Hello again Gregor. I see you reverted my removal of the copyrighted University of Sussex logo (Image:University of sussex small logo.gif). I must ask you to reconsider this, as the image is uploaded to Wikipedia under a "fair use" license, meaning it is not free and may only be used in some contexts. According to Wikipedia's policy on fair use (Fair use), fair use images may be used only in the article namespace - see point 9 in the policy I linked. Therefore, I must again ask you to remove the following images from your userpage: Thanks in advance. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 11:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

 * That you have made an edit (to your userpage, even) after my posting of the above message indicates that you have read it. Any response, or will you continue ignoring me? Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 12:04, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Sadly it takes me time to find alternative images, I also have written to UCL to see if I can permission to use the logo. If I was a member of staff then the use of the logo would be fine, however, the rules seem less clear if you are a graduate student. I would fix things sooner if you were less vexatious. - Synthesis for all 13:17, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, your failure to respond coupled with your earlier reverting of my removal of copyrighted content led me to (wrongly) assume you were going to ignore my inquiries. I am glad we have sorted it out now. Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 13:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Swedish general election, 1921
Hi there, The figures are from the Nordisk familjebok, suppl. ed. (1926). I'll add some notes to the article. If you are interested in the official figures for all Swedish legislative elections, the Riksdagstrycket is the source to use. Riksdagstrycket may provide you with all relevant information for legislative elections since 1866 (at least), when the bi-cameral system was introduced.

Frida Johansson Metso image, copyright issues
Hello! While your efforts are appreciated, I don't think you fully understand the Fair Use policies of Wikipedia. Please read this again:
 * Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.

Basically, it says that even the new image can be deleted as it is unfree and it is possible to get a free replacement. I'd propose it for deletion, but I thought I'd explain why to you first, so I'll hold for a while. What I suggest you do is for you to read Fair use, and attempt to find a free image of Frida Johansson Metro by contacting her or LUF and asking them to release a picture under a free license. You can either ask them to give you a new image released under a free license, or to license an existing picture under a free license. Thereafter, you upload the free image to Wikimedia Commons and forward the e-mail releasing the picture under a free license to Wikimedia Commons. Please read here: Commons:Email templates. Of course, you could also hunt her down and snap a picture of her yourself ;) Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 20:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I see. I thought that fair use images were acceptable until someone actually uploaded a free image, but it's clear from the policy that you quoted that they don't seem to be useable under normal circumstances. The LUF website is a bit contradictory, saying in one place that the images are for "free" use (provided they are attributed), and in another says non-commercial use (again if attributed). It would be a whole lot easier if they just put them under a Creative Commons Attribution License.... Unfortunately I can't chase her up and take a photo (annoying - I should have taken one when I met her in 2006, when she was 2nd Deputy Chairperson, but I didn't have a camera and had no idea I'd be contributing to an article about her) because I'm in England now, and up to my ears in revision. Me being busy also makes the e-mail idea a little difficult, especially considering that the declaration of consent should be in English (as well as or instead of Swedish?). And should the e-mail be in English or in Swedish (I could do either)?


 * I do see that we can't keep the picture there indefinately (although I notice there are a huge number of publicity photos on Wikipedia - are they all impossible to replace?). How do you think we should proceed? Tamino 20:42, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * If the LUF website is contradictory, it's best to assume the worst - otherwise we might get into trouble. Sadly, that will mean the photos of the Members of the Riksdag included in the 200+ articles I've created in them will be gone soon...
 * The publicity photos will probably be gone in due time. One could argue it's quite hard to snap a picture of, say, Madonna, though, as celebrities tend to shy away from photographers...
 * In any case. As my plans for the evening are ruined and I have nothing better to do, I can contact LUF and explain the problem. You can leave it to me. :) Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 20:48, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot - I hope it's not too much trouble. As to the Riksdag pictures, don't delete them unless you're absolutely sure, because freedom of information law should mean that they are free use (at least free publication, rather than modification or sale). One last question: if you create an image on Commons with the same name as an image in Wikipedia, does the Commons image override and delete the Wikipedia one? Tamino 20:56, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I sure won't delete them, but the commons guys will. It's just that they are released with the text Bilden är fri att använda i sammanhang där riksdagen och riksdagens arbete beskrivs. Reproduktion i reklam och marknadsföring är inte tillåten. which complies with Offentlighetsprincipen but not with Wikipedia's licensing rules. The licensing of the Riksdag pictures was more vague earlier, which allowed for the upload of all these images, but it has now been clarified and found to be in breach of Commons rules. So, off they go :/
 * As for your question, no. If there is a local copy of an image, the article will use that one first, and if there isn't, it will use the commons one. Often, however, images on Wikipedia are deleted if there is a similar image on commons. The process is however not automatic. Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 21:07, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Ouch. Someone will need to copy all the pictures to Wikipedia. Hope they understand that at Commons otherwise there'll be a lot of red links to non-existant images in articles.... Tamino 21:10, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * That can't be done, as they suffer from the same problem as the Metso image - they can't be used as we can get free replacements. However, there are bots that remove deleted images from articles, so there's no need to worry about that. Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 21:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * By the way, I've mailed LUF now. I'll send you a copy right away. Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 21:27, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello Tamino. I just thought you'd like to know that during my abscence in Stockholm I received an e-mail saying:

One thing we're doing here in Visby is arranging an "Alternative Politician's Week" as a response to the yearly parlamentarian propaganda event "Politican's Week in Almedalen" in Visby every summer. Still going strong after five years we're housing speakers, groups and networks that in turn speak, hold workshops on, or whatever on a diverse array of subjects. A lot to think of there!

 * Well, here it's legal for someone to physically detain you if they think you're shoplifting, and I thought that I had a right to defend myself against that, but I don't, so they gave me the same charge that they give to people who assault cops. It was pretty much bullshit, but I couldn't afford a lawyer. Oh well, lesson learned. In Linköping I stayed with my friend Mats, he does zines. But I also hung out with this girl named Lisa who was living in Barcelona at the same time I was. Both really nice straight-edge kids. Murderbike 17:46, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Commons permission for LUF?
Have Commons accepted the e-mail from LUF yet? If they accept it how will we know (or if they reject it for that matter)? Tamino 18:17, 24 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I received an e-mail from them a few days that I've only just replied to:


 * Dear Jobjörn Folkesson,
 * Thank you for your mail.
 * The form of the permission you forwarded to us would be enough if it wasn't for the ambiguity of their choice of license and their own explanation of its terms.
 * They agree to cc-by-sa-2.5-se, mentioning that copying, distributing, displaying, and performing the work is allowed, and that they have to be attributed for the images. They however don't say anything about derivative works being allowed or sharealike conditions, as mentioned in the Creative Commons deed http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/se/deed.se .
 * Could you please clear this up with them? Thank you.
 * Yours sincerely, Antti Aaltonen


 * I've replied to Commons, inquiring what exactly I should ask LUF for, in order to not bother LUF all too much. Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 19:52, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Surely if LUF specified cc-by-sa-2.5-se then the images are released under the conditions of that licence? I don't know what more Permissions want really, but I suppose it'll be cleared up eventually. Tamino 13:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

revert of bennelong in popular culture
Urban dictionary is a valid and reliable source as new entries are subjected to a review by administrators and then community moderated. Just because this form of English or 'slang' is not part of your vocabulary, does not mean it is not common place in some communities and hence notable enough for inclusion in this article. If you feel that the information is not relevent in this article, it would be more pratical for you to start a new disambiguated page containing the relevant information, rather than just reverting or deleting other users contributions. Please do not make this revert again unless you can prove that the information is incorrect. Your justification that the source is not a 'very' reliable source is not a valid reason. Tim.Boyle 13:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Even if so, it shouldn't be in the article anyways. It should be in a new article, linked to from Bennelong (disambiguation). Jobjörn  (Talk ° contribs) 13:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

That is my point. If you do not think the information belongs in that article, create the new one. I have noticed that you have a tendency to revert or delete information. This is vandalism WP:VAN.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Covenant-northern light.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Covenant-northern light.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:26, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Blade Runner (game) article
Hello! I have written some comments at the talk page to an article which you have previously seen; would you like to add to them somewhat? In my view the article is above that of a Start class; probably at B-class for now. Is there an importance rating for videogames? We will need a couple of positive opinions in addition to mine own to get it up there. See what you think; here is the talk page. Thanks! - D-Katana 10:26, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:SUF-logo.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:SUF-logo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Cortana
Well, I had to make sure you were wrong to try and delete it at some point... :P the Master Chief was much easier to write about though, so I think this one is more of a challenge. Thanks for the encouragement! David Fuchs ( talk ) 00:15, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
