Torsk
[rediger kilde]Hei. Hva sier du til å omdirigere juletorsk til Julemat#Norge? --Wikijens (diskusjon) 18. jul. 2017 kl. 14:49 (CEST)
- Samme gjelder Syv slag. Dette kan vel heller flettes inn i julebakst med omdirigering? --Wikijens (diskusjon) 18. jul. 2017 kl. 16:41 (CEST)
- Syv slag passer helt klart inn som en seksjon i julebakst.
- Juletorsk bør være en underseksjon under Julemat#Norge sammen med tilsv. underseksjoner for de andre julematlaternativene som er nevnt. Der hvor det finnes en fullverdig hovedartikkel bør {{Hovedartikkel}} brukes for å referere til denne. --J. P. Fagerback (diskusjon) 19. jul. 2017 kl. 00:39 (CEST)

Kategori:Norske flyvere fra andre verdenskrig
[rediger kilde]Ser at du opprettet denne, ikke akkurat i går men håper du likevel kan erindre hva som var tanken bak? Jeg har tenkt å rydde litt i den, men er usikker i det jeg ikke helt er sikker på bakgrunnen. Var tanken at den skal inneholde flygere som kun fløy i 2vk (krigsflygere som fikk sin opplæring og døde ila krigen eller fant på andre ting etterpå), flygere som er _mest kjent_ for innsats i 2vk, eller flygere som fikk opplæring før, eller under, krigen og fortsatte løpet etterpå? Jeg har tolket det som det første, og luket ut noen som ikke svarer til dette, men som sagt, nå begynner jeg å bli litt usikker på hvilke egg som egentlig skal i kurven... Pål N. (diskusjon) 29. jul. 2017 kl. 17:08 (CEST)
- Jeg husker ikke nå 8 år senere hvorfor den ble opprettet, men jeg ser på den nå som en spesifisering av kategorien Norsk militært personell under andre verdenskrig, dvs flyvere med en form for krigsinnsats. De kan gjerne fortsatt å fly etter krigen, men jeg anser denne kategorien som en merking at de fløy eller ble opplært til å fly (de fleste av dem fløy nok) ila krigen. --J. P. Fagerback (diskusjon) 29. jul. 2017 kl. 18:06 (CEST)

Endring av kildehenvisninger
[rediger kilde]Hei, Jpfagerback. Jeg så at du hadde endret måten å referere til kilder på i artikkelen Anne Borg (fysiker), uten annen red.forklaring enn "infoboks ++", og kikket litt på om du hadde gjort det samme med andre artikler i det siste. Det hadde du, tydeligvis, og det vil bli litt av en jobb hvis det samme skal gjøres med andre artikler som har referert på samme vis, for det er … mange. Infoboksen var grei nok. Der har jeg lagt inn det som skulle legges inn i WD og hentet det derfra. Det jeg er interessert i, er: Hvordan har du funnet ut at dette er måten å referere på? Hvor burde jeg (og mange andre) ha plukket opp at dette er en bedre, mer oversiktlig måte å referere/vise til fotnoter på? Det er stadig noe nytt å lære, og det er ikke alltid like lett å vite når, for ikke å si hvor, man kan lære det. Kanskje er hjelpesidene oppdatert, jeg har ikke sjekket, men, altså: Hvordan har du funnet ut dette/hvordan finner man ut at ting skal gjøres på en annen måte enn man har lært her inne? Jeblads innlæring av <references/> gjelder tydeligvis ikke lenger, f.eks. Kjersti L. (diskusjon) 1. des. 2017 kl. 23:44 (CET)
- God morgen, jeg spør litt på Torget, ettersom jeg ser at VE-redigering ikke fører til en slik løsning som du har endret til. Kanskje er endring på gang der, jeg vet ikke. Kjersti L. (diskusjon) 2. des. 2017 kl. 10:11 (CET)
- God morgen! @Kjersti Lie: Jeg har alltid referert på samme måte som i artikkelen om Anne Borg. Se f.eks Dagny Sibblund. Alle personer om dro over til England under krigen og som er nevnt i Ragnar Ulsteins bøker har jeg gitt referanser på denne måten. Hovedgrunnen min er at jeg henter referansene mine (hovedsakelig) fra Nasjonalbiblioteket. Ved å trykke på Referere der får jeg referansen direkte og ved å legge til #xx får jeg oppslaget direkte til siden. Mvh Pmt (diskusjon) 2. des. 2017 kl. 10:27 (CET)
- Hei,@Pmt:. Som jeg skrev ovenfor, har jeg tatt saken "til torgs", så vi kan la Jpfagerback få ha disk.siden sin i fred. :) Du har forresten ikke vært konsekvent i Sibblund-artikkelen. Delvis har du gjort slik jeg har vært vant til. Jeg siterer: «I et intervju med VG i 1994 beskriver hun det slik Jeg ble forbannet. Mer sint enn tynget av sorg. Jeg bestemte meg for å ta hans plass. Jeg ville være med og frigjøre Finnmark fra nazistene.<ref name="vg">VG: «Dagny (79) var gerilja-soldat i fiendeland», 24. oktober 1994, side 22 og 23.</ref>» Her står hele ref.teksten i brødteksten. Nå får vi se hva de andre torgkjerringene og -kaillene sier og mener! Kjersti L. (diskusjon) 2. des. 2017 kl. 10:34 (CET)
- @Kjersti Lie: Jeg gjorde det samme, flyttet til torget. Mvh Pmt (diskusjon) 2. des. 2017 kl. 10:36 (CET)
- @Kjersti Lie:Vi får håpe Jpfagerback har sovet lenge og spiser frokost så kan vi låne siden hans så lenge
. VG referansen er lagt inn av en annen bruker og så lenge det gir samme resultatet så endrer jeg ikke det, for jeg har ikke noen formening om at min metode er bedre enn det andre legger inn, men for meg fungerer det slik som Jpfagerback gjør det best. (Men fy som jeg hater referanser inne i løpende tekst) Mvh Pmt (diskusjon) 2. des. 2017 kl. 10:43 (CET)
- Aha, @Pmt:! Jeg får rydde i min kommentar på Torget, da. Var litt for kjapp! Kjersti L. (diskusjon) 2. des. 2017 kl. 10:45 (CET)
- @Kjersti Lie:Vi får håpe Jpfagerback har sovet lenge og spiser frokost så kan vi låne siden hans så lenge

Nøtterøys geografi
[rediger kilde]Er det ikke greit å ha en egen kategori for (øya) Nøtterøys geografi? Før kommunesammenslåingen fantes for eksempel allerede kategorien "Veierlands geografi". En øy er en såpass definert enhet at jeg synes det er naturlig å la større øyer inngå i et kategorisystem. - 4ing (diskusjon) 5. jan. 2018 kl. 23:31 (CET)
- Stedskategorier som selve kategorien Nøtterøy pleier å dekke det behovet. --J. P. Fagerback (diskusjon) 5. jan. 2018 kl. 23:35 (CET)
- Ja, for Veierland kan det være en grei ordning, men for Nøtterøy vil det sannsynligvis være hundrevis av artikler som vil gjøre kategorien svært uoversiktlig dersom den ikke deles opp. - 4ing (diskusjon) 5. jan. 2018 kl. 23:38 (CET)
- Ja, men vi må få bort alt som ikke er om øya i kategorien. Øya og den gamle kommunen går fortsatt i ett, og jeg har funnet artikler i kategorien som ikke omhandlet øya. Vi burde i så fall opprette en ny kategori som vi flytter det som har om øya og gjøre, men hvordan gjør vi det på en grei måte... --J. P. Fagerback (diskusjon) 5. jan. 2018 kl. 23:57 (CET)
- Jeg trodde alt som ikke gjaldt øya var fjernet fra Kategori:Nøtterøy med underkategorier (med unntak av Kategori:Personer fra tidligere Nøtterøy kommune). - 4ing (diskusjon) 6. jan. 2018 kl. 00:03 (CET)
- Jeg fant artikler i nøtterøy geografi som ikke omhandlet øya, men kommunen. Det var da jeg tenkte det kunne være like greit å fjerne kategorien. I en periode fremover vil ikke personer se forskjellen på den gamle kommunen og øya.--J. P. Fagerback (diskusjon) 6. jan. 2018 kl. 00:20 (CET)
- Ok. Jeg har lagt inn Kategori:Nøtterøy på noen av artiklene der du endret kategori fra Kategori:Nøtterøys geografi til Kategori:Færders geografi. Jeg kan ikke se at noen av artiklene som nå ligger i Kategori:Nøtterøys geografi ikke omhandler steder på øya. - 4ing (diskusjon) 6. jan. 2018 kl. 00:45 (CET)
- Flott! takk 4ing. --J. P. Fagerback (diskusjon) 20. jan. 2018 kl. 13:19 (CET)
- Ok. Jeg har lagt inn Kategori:Nøtterøy på noen av artiklene der du endret kategori fra Kategori:Nøtterøys geografi til Kategori:Færders geografi.

Wikidata weekly summary #300
[rediger kilde]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Wikidata-logo-en.svg/150px-Wikidata-logo-en.svg.png)
- Welcome to the 300th Weekly Summary!
The weekly newsletter was started by Lydia at the very beginning of the Wikidata project, even before the first deployment, to keep the community informed about the developments, the new projects and tools. More than five years later, the newsletter is still there, its content powered by the community, and sent every week all along the years. I wanted to say a warm "thank you!" to each person who helped filling the Weekly Summary <3
Over the past years, as you know, Wikidata has grown a lot. More data, more tools, more editors and reusers, more exciting projects led by the community. The Weekly Summary has evolved with us, and the 300th edition seems a good moment to ask you all your suggestions about the newsletter, how it could continue evolving, and how you would like to improve it.
On that purpose, you can find a feedback page to express all your ideas about the Weekly Summary. We're very interested to know more about your reading habits, the parts you're more or less interested in, the new topics you would like to share with the community. Thanks in advance for filling it.
I stay available anytime to discuss with you, feel free to contact me if you have any question or concern! Cheers, Léa

Hei!
Jeg ser at du har oppdatert artikkelen, men er i tvil om at dette er hensiktsmessig. Dette fordi riksvei 23 sluttet å eksistere i god tid før Viken fylke begynte å eksistere – dermed vil vel oppdateringen være missvisende. Mvh BjørnN (diskusjon) 12. feb. 2020 kl. 12:20 (CET)

How we will see unregistered users
[rediger kilde]Hei!
Du mottar denne beskjeden fordi du er administrator på en Wikimedia-wiki.
Når noen redigerer en Wikimedia-wiki uten å være logga inn viser vi i dag IP-adressen deres. Som du kanskje allerede veit, vil vi ikke lenger kunne gjøre dette i framtida. Denne avgjørelsen er tatt av Wikimedia Foundations juridiske avdeling fordi normer og bestemmelser rundt personvern online har endra seg.
I stedet for IP-adresser vil vi vise en maskert identitet. Som administrator vil du fortsatt ha tilgang til IP-adressene. Det vil også komme en ny brukerrettighet for de som trenger å se hele IP-adressa til uregistrerte brukere for å bekjempe hærverk, trakassering og spam uten å være administrator. Patruljører vil også se deler av IP-adressa uten denne brukerrettigheten. Vi jobber også med å utvikle bedre verktøy for å hjelpe til med dette.
Hvis du ikke har sett dette før kan du lese mer på Meta. Hvis du ikke vil gå glipp av tekniske endringer på Wikimedia-wikiene kan du abonnere på det ukentlige tekniske nyhetsbrevet.
Vi har to forslag til hvordan denne identiteten kan fungere. Vi ønsker tilbakemelding på hvilket forslag du syns funker best for deg og din wiki, nå og i framtida. Du kan komme med tilbakemeldinger på diskusjonssida på et hvilket som helst språk. Forslagene ble posta i oktober, og vi vil konkludere diskusjonen etter 17. januar.
Tusen takk. /Johan (WMF)

Det gjelder Trollbryggeriet, Små Vesen Bryggeri, Inderøy Gårdsbryggeri, Hunsfos Bryggeri og Balder Brygg. Det pågår flere diskusjoner i øyeblikket om artikler i denne kategorien, og om hurtigsletting, jeg fant det derfor best å gjøre det slik. --Anne-Sophie Ofrim (diskusjon) 18. mai 2022 kl. 10:14 (CEST)

Kategori:Nettavisen-prisen nominert for sletting
[rediger kilde]Hei, Jpfagerback! Jeg så du har opprettet artikkelen Kategori:Nettavisen-prisen. På Wikipedia er det en del krav en artikkel må oppfylle, blant de viktigste er WP:IKKE og WP:R. Jeg har lest gjennom artikkelen din og kommet til den konklusjon at den ikke er egnet for Wikipedia. Det er mulig jeg tar feil, så jeg har startet en diskusjon på Wikipedia:Sletting/Kategori:Nettavisen-prisen om hvorvidt artikkelen skal slettes. På den siden står min begrunnelse, og du og andre Wikipedia-brukere er velkommen til å ytre sin mening. Husk at dette ikke er en avstemning, men en diskusjon. For å vise at du ønsker at artikkelen skal beholdes, lim inn: *{{sb}} – Sett inn dine argumenter her ~~~~
på slettesiden og erstatt «Sett inn dine argumenter her» med hvorfor du mener den bør beholdes. Om du mener den kan slettes, bytt ut {{sb}} med {{ss}}.

Std. fødselsdato
[rediger kilde]Hei. Her på Wikipedia på bokmål har vi gått bort fra fødselsdato i innledende tekst, så lenge dette finnes i infoboks. Se Wikipedia:Stilmanual#Personer og Hjelp:Biografier. ///Mvh. 1000mm (diskusjon) 24. mar. 2024 kl. 23:21 (CET)
- Det kan tilføyes at det i debatten om dette kom noen modifikasjoner. 1) Det er ikke noen plikt for den som skriver en biografisk artikkel, til å opprette WD-element for personen. 2) Det var ønske om at fødsels- og dødsdato (med kilder) også burde stå i artikkelen, men vanligvis ikke i så prominent plass som ingressen.
