== Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon ==
== AfD of ] ==

I have nominated the article ] for deletion - the article is a list that synthesises various sources that use the notion of "norwegian" in incompatible ways either as citizen or as a person claiming to have Norwegian ancestors - this creates a false number of how many Norwegians are living outside of Norway and an image of an actual Diasporic community that is not supported by any sources. Please comment at ].] 16:13, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

== Whaling in Norway ==

Deleted sevral poorly cited claims in the opposition section. Whale song, whale-poo that fight global warming and cells in whales that match human cells. Within these claims there were also sevral other claims about barbarism and opposition to whaling from counties that were not quoted from anywhere. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 02:38, 20 February 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== ]? ==

Hi there guys. I've been trying to verify the material we have at ] and ], and I'd appreciate any help I can get. Those two articles, and some related information in ] and ], were all added in 2007 by an editor who doesn't seem to have communicated their sources very well. The only sources listed in the two articles are either not reliable or not verifiable, Google web search results only show unreliable sources or copies of Misplaced Pages, and neither Google Scholar nor Google Books seem to know anything about either the person or the village. You would expect the village, at least, to have some web footprint even if not in English. Basically, does anyone have any sources to verify that the subjects of these articles actually existed? I am far from an expert on Norwegian topics and do not want to jump right to calling them hoaxes, but I can't find anything verifiable at all. Any assistance is appreciated. <span style="white-space:nowrap">— ] (])</span> 23:14, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

: By clicking on the coordinates in the article, I was able to find Ferkingstad in Google Maps so the village is no certainly verifiable, though not necessarily notable. I also found a few more web pages about the legendary king in Norwegian, but none provide anything beyond the references already added to the article. I guess better sources for this must be found offline, not online. ] (]) 05:54, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme '''Around the World in 31 Days'''! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least '''31 countries''' (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.


We hope to see you there!

== "Was established as a municipality" ==


== FAR notice ==
Currently, the majority of articles on places in Norway that also happen to be a municipality contain the following text in the lead section: " was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see ])". I find this to be a bit misleading, as that date refers to the creation of the system of municipalities (previously, Norway was instead administratively divided into parishes). However, the current text can make it sound like the settlements in question were established in 1838.


I have nominated ] for a ]. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the ]. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are ].<!--Template:FARMessage--> ] (]) 06:39, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
For example, the article ] says in the second paragraph of the lead: "The city of Tønsberg was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838". This makes it sound like Tønsberg was founded in 1838, when it has in fact been a city since the Viking ages, with full trading rights as a city for many hundred years prior to 1838.


== Requested move at ] ==
I believe that this information, related to a technicality about the organisation of administrative districts of Norway, should not be so prominent in the lead section of every article on a municipality. Instead, this fact should be explained on the ] page, or alternatively, mentioned in a paragraph about the area's history, instead of in the lead. ] (]) 11:08, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
] There is a requested move discussion at ] that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. ] (]) 12:48, 27 October 2024 (UTC)


== Requested move at ] ==
:I think I mostly agree, but for municipalities it is nice to mention how far back it is dated. While Tønsberg as a "city" dates back to the time of the vikings, the administrative unit which is the basis for the modern municipality is probably not as old. There is also at least one case where the municipality is older than its namesake and administrative center, through a split and remerging. Maybe one could change the text to read "The modern municipality was formed on the basis of parish (or whatever) on 1 January 1838"? But for Tønsberg, 871 should be mentioned at least briefly before this. ] (]) 15:44, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
