Hei, kan du flytte kommunegrensen mellom Sande og Vanylven? Fastlandsdelen til Sande ble i år 2000 overført til Vanylven. --Eivindgh (talk) 07:09, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard

Hi, on the OTRS memberlist I noticed you are active on commons and have acces to info-no. A question came in on the OTRS/Noticeboard [1]. Concerning this question; in the last day two email where received ticket:2011022010007832 and ticket:2011022010004362. Part of one email is in Norwegian. Could you please have a look. Thank you very much. Kind regards, Taketa (talk) 10:47, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

It says I don't have access to the first one (do you know which queue it is?); the second one checks out, so everything is in order. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 20:06, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Good to hear the second one checks out. The first one is at permissions-commons. Maybe you can acces it through [2]? -- Taketa (talk) 06:18, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Still doesn't work... If you move it to info-no it should work though. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 08:09, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Another volunteer has answered the ticket. No further action needed. Thank you for your effort, kind regards, Taketa (talk) 12:29, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Okay, good. No problem. :-) Jon Harald Søby (talk) 13:30, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Valued Image Promotion

★ Your nomination has been reviewed and promoted ★
Congratulations! The image you nominated was reviewed and has now been promoted as a valued image. It is considered to be the most valued image on Commons within the scope:
The Capitol, Republic of Palau (exterior).
If you would like to nominate another image, please do so at Valued images candidates.

review

•  Comment Melekeok is a name of a state and a name of a village of the same name in the Republic of Palau. The image shows the parliament building of the republic which is located in Ngerulmud. So I think the scope here should be: The Republic of Palau Capitol (exterior) or The Capitol House of Palau (exterior) or something like that. The scope should link this category. --MrPanyGoff 15:19, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Yes, you are of course right. Fixed. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 20:42, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
    • I didn't mean you to use the same name as the linked category. This scope is somehow still too general. It better be the specific name of the represented building as my suggestions above, if you like them of course. The Capitol, Palau (exterior) is another configuration. BTW, what do you think about the cropped version: . --MrPanyGoff 16:02, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
      • In my opinion, not only the country is badly represented in "Commons", but his official building too... I think that this House of Parliament is fine enough to deserve an own category. Furthermore, I agree with MrPanyGoff about a good scope, his suggestion sounds good to me. After that, let them compete...--Jebulon (talk) 23:33, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Deleting intermediate uploads of a file

Hello, Jon Harald Søby.

I was wondering if it's ok to do on this file what you've done with this. Can all versions of my file, but the current one, be deleted? I'm asking this because i'm afraid that so many miniatures may be putting unnecessary strain on the servers. That file matters for nothing. That's only a flag of mine. I'm waiting your feedback. --Bluedenim (talk) 18:15, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

no localization

thanks for the sitenotice localization. Can you also do the same for the script the notice relates to? You can edit User:Rd232/myuploads.js directly or leave a note at User talk:Rd232/myuploads.js. cheers, Rd232 (talk) 12:56, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Haninge kommun

Hej, kan du byta ut Haninge kommuns kommunvapen mot det rätta?

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jon Harald Søby. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jon Harald Søby~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Hello, Wikimedia Norge members and other contributors, this is the last newsletter of the year from us. We wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year! 🎅

Meet-up on January 16^th

On Tuesday the 16^th of January at 17.00 there will be a wiki meet-up in the Amalie Skram room in Litteraturhuset, Oslo. There will be a presentation from Thomas Hylland Eriksen, who describes the theme of the meeting like this:

"Wikipedia can be used as an example of many things, including humans' exceptional lust for knowledge and insight. There are, however, stumbling blocks along the way, including them monopolization, relevance and knowledge aversity. In a world like this, an institution like Wikipedia is more important than ever."

Please do sign up on this page! The meet-up is free and open to all. Travel expenses can be covered by Wikimedia Norge (get in touch with astrid@wikimedia.no).

Wikigrants

The 15^th of February is the deadline for applying for wikigrants. We're looking forward to seeing many exciting applications!

We'll return with more information in the next newsletter.

Northern Sami Wikipedia

This fall, Wikimedia Norge has started a project to improve the Northern Sami Wikipedia. During the fall we have translated our website into Northern Sami, held a survey among current and former contributors to the wiki, planned cooperations with various institutions and participation to Márkomeannu and Riddu Riđđu. This work will continue in 2018, and those who are interested in ollowing it can sign up for updates on the project here.

This project is also the first one where we use Phabricator for project management. The project can be followed here.

Retriever and Bokhylla.no

Accesses to Retriever were dispersed again on the 20^th of November, 2017, and a new dispertion will happen on the 20^th of May, 2018. We remind you that we can also help get access to Bokhylla.no for Wikipedians with foreign IP addresses. More information about this can be found on this page.

Wikimedia Norge awarded funding from Arts Council

Wikimedia Norge has been awarded 100,000 NOK to make an image collection by Bodil Biørn available on Wikimedia Commons. Bodil Catharina Biørn (1871–1960) was a Norwegian missionary, nurse and midwife who was a missionary in eastern Turkey (Ottomon Empire). Biørn was an eyewitness to what has later been called the first genocide of the 20^th century, the Armenian Genocide. She documented this by taking photographs and writing detailed image descriptions. In May Wikimedia Norge and the National Archive invite Wikipedians to help work on these image descriptions.
