Wikipedia talk:Norway-related topics notice board

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi everybody,

although I am none of the regulars here, I would like to make a minor suggestion. I was slightly perplexed to see this banner on top of the page:

May I humbly suggest to use the following (or a variation thereof) instead:

The design was copied from the Swedish notice board, wasn't it? :) Punkmorten 18:42, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

You could talk me into it. Williamborg 19:22, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plakaten på veggen

From the notice board:

• The poster on the wall - strange. Punkmorten 19:44, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

I wish I had seen that article before it was deleted. I just realised what it could have been. The poster on the wall or Plakaten på veggen is a poster stating the instructions of conduct for a Norwegian officer in case of invation. It was issued directly after the war because of the confusion experienced in april 1940. It hung in just about every single military office in Norway up until a few years ago, but is now being less seen. Inge 08:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

As seen on the Norwegian Wikipedia: |Plakaten på veggen. Properly known as Direktiver for militære befalingsmenn og militære sjefer ved angrep på Norge (I'm not even going to try to translate that into sensible english =) ), or just Kgl res av 10. juni 1949 (Royal Resolution of 10th June 1949). It's still valid, and often seen, at least where I work. It ought to be possible to write a good article on what this is, why it was made and what it has meant from '49 and to today. However, I have a hard time finding an online copy of it. WegianWarrior 09:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

It was deleted through AFD, though only with one vote. I am submitting the content here:

Edit this page to reveal the content. If you think it's a valid topic, feel free to create an article. Perhaps it should be named Plakaten på veggen? Punkmorten 11:08, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Think this is worthly of a Wikipedia entry. Translated it (although not as well as the above commented text which i found after I translated it) as Directives for Military Officers and Ministry Officials upon an Attack of Norway. May be the wrong title; should it have been—“Directive for military personnel, all ranks above corporal and for commanding officers in case of an armed attack on Norway”? Please take a look and we can discuss relocation as approriate. Williamborg 02:27, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks pretty good to me. Sources ought to be found, espesially for the cited text (the phonecall) towards the end. I'll poke around and see what I can do when I get time. Give me a few days and I'll get a picture of the real, live 'Plakatten på veggen' from work as well. WegianWarrior 08:54, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Added image and a summary of the directive. WegianWarrior 09:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bjøllebotn

Does this place exist? Is it even remotely significant? I have absolutely no idea, and all the sources are in Norwegian so I can't say... Feedback appreciated. Shimgray | talk | 19:43, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

It does exist. [1]. It is not very significant, but I think I'll remove the prod. Punkmorten 10:20, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Shimgray | talk | 11:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help with translations

I'm currently working on a script intended to create short articles on political parties on a variety of wikipedias simultaneously. However, in order for the technique to work I need help with translations to various languages. If you know any of the languages listed at User:Soman/Lang-Help , then please help by filling in the blanks. For example I need help with Nynorsk. Thanks, --Soman 12:14, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

The DYK section featured on the main page is always looking for interesting new and recently expanded stubs from different parts of the world. Please make a suggestion.--Peta 02:07, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
