[edit] ARN

Hello Oden. Great to see you added a table at the Stockholm Arlanda Airport page. I was wondering if I could request you to update the destinations as well. I added the destinations list based on timetables online, but there are a couple of things I cannot do, at least. I see that Swedish destinations have diacritics on the letters, I was wondering if you could edit it, since I have no idea how to encode those. Also, the destinations list are incomplete. Any of your contributions would be appreciated. Elektrik Blue 82 19:06, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Sure, I was getting around to it, I am translating the article sv:Arlanda to English. Finished Stockholm-Bromma Airport earlier this week. --Oden 19:25, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zinedine Zidane External Link Removal

Hey there! I saw you reverting or removing linkspam. Thanks! If you're interested, come visit us in Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam so we can work together fighting those who spam Wikipedia. Lewispb 12:54, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Israel Hernandez edits

Hi Oden, thanks for your request to add references to the Israel Hernandez article - I had worked on that much earlier before I knew how to properly reference and link. I'd appreciate it if you could look over the article again and then remove the 'requires sources' banner on the page unless you have another objection. If I don't see anything on the Talk page for M. Hernandez in a week I'm going to remove the banner...

Thanks--Artificialard 07:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedians FROM Texas

VOTE to keep Category:Wikipedians from Texas from merging with Category:Wikipedians in Texas. Being FROM Texas is not necessarily the same as being IN Texas. --Renice 15:11, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Whiplash

Just wanted to say good job with the re-write of the whiplash article. It needed it bad.

Thanks! --Oden 21:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you! --Oden 23:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Hi Oden, I realize this is a bit late (2 months to be exact), but I just wanted to say that any extraneous deletions to the 2006 World Cup article were completely accidental.

Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for pointing out the deletions

--kpillai 20:25, 25 September 2006 (GMT -5:00)

No problem, I assumed that they were accidental. Thanks for the confirmation. --Oden 00:43, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Borelius

Hello Oden, I did some update on the now resigned Maria Borelius and took some pains to bring out that much of the spadework was done by a blogger, Magnus Ljungkvist. I also wanted to explain to non-Swedes why the household work thing became so damaging (and without being POV), if not, it might have seemed like sheer prissiness to some people.

In the process of pointing out how the story grew, the Falsterbo summer villa has got mentioned twice, first in the "Nanny controversy" section and then under "other controversies" but I think it could well be left, the "other controversies" bit is more specific (name of the company and so on) while my edit in the first part brings out how it undermined her credibility.

Hello, suggested improvements are best discussed on the talk page. --Oden 17:45, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I tried to get this on to the Borelius talk page (now empty except for a few standard Wiki/html tags) by editing it in, the ordinary way, but for some reason it wouldn't work. I'm not terribly familiar with html code, so there may be some sort of end tag, like a bracket sign, in what is there already, which makes it impossible to just put in new text right away.Strausszek October 14, 2006

I fixed the problem. --Oden 18:06, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Advice

Ok Oden thanks for the advice I will take this on board for future editing. User:Noface1 17:30, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] So you're a Lord of The Rings fan

What does that have to do with anything? Why is it always the fanboys who want spoiler-warnings everywhere? And why did you revert my helpful update on Moderaterna? Morningmusic 19:01, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

• What I am or am not is irrelevant (no personal attacks). Undertaking major edits without forming a consensus (which you did when you started removing spoiler warnings from several articles, regardless of their content) is disruptive. The same is true when you start adding spoiler warnings to articles where there is a consensus that there should not be spoiler warnings, see Wikipedia_talk:Spoiler_warning#Spoiler_warnings_on_classical_works for instance.
• Your edit to the Moderate Party article (here) was an apparent link vandalization of this encyclopedia. Please bear in mind that Wikipedia is not a soapbox, and that editing Wikipedia is a privilege, not a right.
• Your contributions so far seem to be intended on disrupting Wikipedia in order to illustrate a point or a form of trolling. Try to learn what the consensus is first and then try to influence it if you feel it is wrong (and remember to be civil and assume good faith).
• If you make the same edit three times you risk violating the three-revert rule and being blocked from editing Wikipedia. Blocking an editor from contributing to Wikipedia is not done as a punitive measure but done in order to protect the encyclopedia from a harmful user.
• This response has also been left on your talk page, where the discussion started and should have been continued.
