- Oceanh, it has been over two weeks since you said you'd work on this nomination, and while you've been actively editing, it hasn't been on this article. Action is needed soon, otherwise the nomination may end up being closed. I hope you'll be able to give this attention in the next couple of days. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:36, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you EagerToddler39 for a thorough review. To fix all issues is a non-trivial task. This should preferably be done by someone with both in-depth knowledge of the English language, and access to the cited sources (and minimum one of these). To BlueMoonset: The other edits I have done lately are, from my perspective, relatively straightforward tasks. Oceanh (talk) 13:24, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Oslo byleksikon
editHi! Do you have Oslo byleksikon at ready hand? Could you check out a detail about Anton Tschudi's ownership of Økern? When did he buy and sell? Thanks in advance, Geschichte (talk) 16:05, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hi! My edition of Oslo byleksikon from 1966 does not have much about Tschudi's role at Økern. The entry on Økern has a section with focus on ownership of the farm until mid 1800s, the building of apartments in the area after World War II (Økernbråten etc), and further plans for business areas which were then not yet finished. The entry on Anton Tschudis vei briefly mentions Tschudi's role in parcelling out the farm, but no date information is given there. The encyclopedia Store Norske Leksikon mentions that smaller houses in the northern part of Økern date from 1910-15 onwards. It might be worth to check whether later editions of Oslo byleksikon contain more details. Oceanh (talk) 08:52, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Krefting infobox?

- Thanks. Interesting type. I'm at doubt myself, with the Olympic participation and championships, a sports infobox wouldn't be out of place.

Eurasian eagle-owl
editJust pointing out that the chunk of plagiarised text you removed from Eurasian eagle-owl was not added by me but was present before I started working on the article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 04:59, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, yes, I know, I tracked down that the text stems from edits made 3 1/2 years ago. There is of course also the possibility that the other website has copied text from Wikipedia. I considered asking for your advice on how to handle this, but decided to just remove the problematic text (according to the duplication tool, there also seems to be some problematic text left, in other sections, which I have not taken care of yet). I found it hard to rephrase this particular text, because it contains a large number of technical terms. But some of the removed information should probably be reinstated in a different form, in order to make the description more complete. What do you think? Oceanh (talk) 07:43, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
editThank you for your recent articles, including Weronika Gawlik, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:29, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:02, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
Oceanh, I don't mean to pour cold water on your efforts, but some of the DYK hooks you have proposed haven't been particularly inspiring. I'm sure I could have come up with a better hook for bootlegs, such as the occasion "Rubber Dubber" (?) managed to narrowly get busted by some very deft social engineering (making the local police look like chumps) and I was still thinking of something when I got the notification it was on the main page. Similar problems have occured at Template:Did you know nominations/Passenger pigeon and Template:Did you know nominations/Richard Wright (musician), and while Template:Did you know nominations/Oxford Street wasn't problematic per se, it wasn't too hard to find a better ALT. I see a few other people have commented as such on your talk, such as Template:Did you know nominations/Isaac Folorunso Adewole. I'm not sure what advice I can give other than "be creative!" (which sounds too much like buzzword bingo), but try thinking of hooks as newspaper headlines - something that will really grab the reader's attention. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:37, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- Ritchie333: Thank you for bringing interesting articles up to GA. I also appreciate your efforts on finding better hooks. And of course, I will try to avoid nominating your GAs for DYK, if you prefer so. As for your suggestion to "be creative!", my answer is that I can only take what the article already offers. I am quite satisfied with my hooks in November, when four of them attracted >10,000 views, while only two other hooks seems to have reached that limit in November. December was less satisfactory, when of my hooks only Bicycle kick passed 10,000 views (in addition Frank Sinatra and Jean Sibelius attracted many readers, but that was due to the extra fuzz around their anniversaries). Oceanh (talk) 23:58, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- I think you've misunderstood - I certainly wasn't proposing you avoid DYK nominating any articles I helped pass GAN, rather I just feel that occasions there are more attention grabbing or quirky things that can sometimes be pulled up. For now, provided I get the notification that the nominations are happening, I'll make a point of seeing what ALTs come to mind, and hopefully you'll see where I'm coming from after a few more examples. User:EEng might be worth reading, just for a chuckle. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:19, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- That's ok. Sometimes it is hard to find a particularly good hook, but if the article is important or interesting enough, and of good quality, I might still nominate it with a poorer/straightforward hook. Once nominated, the hook can be improved. Those who worked with the article might have something special in mind. Or the reviewer might request a more interesting hook, and hopefully the creator or others can help find a better hook. I haven't seen much from EEng lately, he used to contribute a lot to dyk hooks. He he, I remember he nearly killed one of my favourite hooks: ... that there ain't no more? (12,641 + 3,386). Oceanh (talk) 00:31, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Your countries by year articles, I have some you could work on if you like.
editI very much so appreciate your articles. I think you do a fantastic job. I have even written some myself now myself.

Bjarne Keyser Barth
editHi Oceanh, Thanks for creating Bjarne Keyser Barth. Later today I can add more to the article, I've got some additional info on him. Want to go for a DYK once I've added more? Manxruler (talk) 09:22, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, DYK would be nice if the article can be expanded sufficently. I think I put most of what I had about him into the article already. By the way, excellent job with Niels Larsen Bruun! Oceanh (talk) 16:07, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- No worries. I've found some more, I did look up Barth some years ago.
- Thanks, I came across Bruun a good while ago, and figured I'd write up an article on him. Took a lot of time, but I'm pretty pleased. Manxruler (talk) 17:06, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Have expanded the article now, I just need to look through a few more books before it's DYK-ready. Manxruler (talk) 18:30, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
- Very impressive expansion - almost incredible improvement! I will be away from home without access to pc most of this weekend. If you have an idea for a hook and like to nominate the article for DYK, I can supply this qpq, Reviewed: 2-satisfiability. Oceanh (talk) 21:49, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Women in Red's Monthly achievement initiative
editHi there, Oceanh. I must say I am highly impressed by the quality of your work and the huge number (over 11,000) of articles you have written, especially those about Scandinavians. This month we are running the WiR Monthly achievement initiative. In this connection, I have been looking at the women's biographies created since the beginning of the month and discover that you have started Kirsten Langbo, Sigrid Alexandersen, Karolin Ohlsson, Irina Nyberg and Alva Olsson. With your permission, I would like to include them in the Monthly achievement listings, as we are trying to encourage more Wikipedians to write about women. Or perhaps you would like to add them yourself and continue to contribute throughout the month? It would be great to have you on board.--Ipigott (talk) 09:43, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Ipigott: Thank you for the compliments. Of course you may add the mentioned women biographies to the list, if you like. Most of them are still only short stubs, though. You might also consider Anna Hannevik (from 3 August) and Kirsten Osen (from 4 August), two women now in their nineties. I fully support your Women-in-Red initiative, and might help whenever I can, although I prefer continue editing in my own pace, which ideally is "slow'n steady". Oceanh (talk) 18:50, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for your support. I'll list them all tomorrow and keep track of further additions in August.--Ipigott (talk) 20:17, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
- I've now added the nine women's biographies you have created this month. I hope there will be many more. It would be great if you could register as a member of Women in Red in the box at the top of the WiR main page. You don't need to include anything on your user page if you want to keep it blank. As I am fluent in Danish, I frequently write about Scandinavian women myself. There are not too many English-speakers on the EN wiki who understand the Scandinavian languages. It's always good to find others who have similar interests.--Ipigott (talk) 11:05, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
- I've just seen that back in 2008 you explained you do not "have the habit of adding myself to lists of project members". I understand that you want to concentrate on article creation but in this case we are simply trying to encourage others to write more articles about women. Having your name on our membership list would certainly be an asset to the project. It will not require you to take on any additional work. Think about it.--Ipigott (talk) 11:19, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks, fine. I will continue with the backlogs of biographies to be created, maybe with an extra focus on women this month. I agree that it is useful to be able to communicate with someone who understands Scandinavian language, for instance regarding sources, so thank you for informing that you are fluent in Danish. Oceanh (talk) 19:43, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Recognition for 100 new women's biographies in August
editI am copying this award to your talk page, Oceanh, as you are apparently not too keen on having a user page.
100 new biographies: Women in Red August 2018 achievements |
I know you will probably be creating a few more today but you've already made a fantastic contribution. Well done!--Ipigott (talk) 18:34, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you. I found that a number of freestyle skiers, who were world champion medalists or Olympians, did not have articles, so I created short biographies for several of these. Else I have noticed many good contributions on women writers by WiR people this month. Oceanh (talk) 23:07, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
- All in all, unless I have missed some, you created 104 women's biographies in August, substantially more than Nick Number who, as a registered member of Women in Red, received the award for "Most biographies". I hope very much you will participate in the September initiative with many more women's biographies. Unfortunately I will not have time to add your entries to the lists but you are of course welcome to do so yourself. Congratulations on your outstanding contribution to the August initiative.--Ipigott (talk) 08:27, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
- Perfect. I would like to say thank you for taking the effort on adding my articles to the list in August, I know it's quite a lot of work (2 to 4 minutes per entry add up to somewhere between 3 1/2 and 7 hours in total for the month, and although each operation is sort of trivial, it is tiresome for the hand in my experience). I have a bit bad concience for letting you take that burden, as you certainly have lots of other things to do; you do a great job running the WiR project! It was fun though to be there half outside half inside, not as an ordinary contestant, as I generally do not like to take part in competitions. The many sorted WiR-lists with redlinks is a great resource and helpful, will see if I can help making them shorter. Oceanh (talk) 18:06, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Incorrect information on Wikipedia
editThe man Kalle Anttila was my great grandfather who happened to have RAISED my father as due to the passing of his mother and his father being into alcohol. If you want proof that he is buried here in Sudbury, I can obtain a photo of his gravestone. My father,Allan Anttila was raised by him I shown the URL for accessing the family tree and where he lived. DorothyIan (talk) 02:23, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- Hi @DorothyIan: Thank you for your concern about possible incorrect information on wrestler and Olympian Kalle Anttila in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a primary source, it relies on information from other sources. In this case Anttila's death date and place is taken from the Sports Reference site: Kalle Anttila. I could not access the url at ancestry.ca that you provided, but found this entry at ancestry.com: Kaarle Johan Anttila (see also findagrave: Kaarle Johan Anttila). I also found some further details about the Anttila family on this blog site: Laitasaari. Are we talking about two different persons with the same name, or are there possibly errors in the provided sources? I am not an expert and can not go further into this. I might refer to (and ping) @Canadian Paul: who has specialized on the history of Olympians, including their age and date of deaths: Maybe you can provide some insight here, or discuss the issue further with DorothyIan (any further discussion about Kalle Anttila, if needed, should preferably take place on the article's talk page). Oceanh (talk) 05:10, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
Kalle Anttila
editI am quite sure this is the same person as when his son ( my grandfather) was still alive, he and my father explained of his accomplishments of Olympic medals in wrestling for Finland after his immigration to Canada. How Kalle’s father had tickets for the titanic, sold them to a rich couple and then came in on the Carpathia. Kalle did do a moderate amount of traveling during the Olympics. Kalles parents then bought a significant amount of land here in the Sudbury region to create a farm (the Anttila farm) to where for 3 generations work was done, Kalle worked there, and stayed fit, got into wrestling. As years went by he married had a family where his daughter Helvi died the day my father was born Nov 1, 1931. The father Alex Laamanen went into alcohol so Kalle raised my father. We were VERY CLOSE to him. DorothyIan (talk) 20:53, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- I have tried to contact User:Canadian Paul, hoping they can take a look at this issue when they have time, in case they have knowledge of Kalle Anttila. The only thing I can say, is that when you want to make changes like this to a biography, which contradict the existing sources (and also wikipedia articles in twelve other wikis), you need to provide solid documentation for the change. You would also need to take the discussion to the article talk page, in order to get input from other editors. My talk page is not "prominent" enough for this discussion. Oceanh (talk) 23:51, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- @DorothyIan: User:Canadian Paul has now answered on Paul's talk page, where he suggests a way to proceed. You must have reliable, verifiable sources to back up your edits, and Paul asks me to tell you to send him an email through Wikipedia with evidence of your claims and he can help forward to WP:OTRS, who will review it and make the changes if appropriate.

editThis draft has been declined: Draft:Oeyvind Watterdal. Geschichte (talk) 14:59, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Geschichte: Thank you for the notification. I am not very familiar with the processes related to "Articles for creation". I just notice that contribution seems to be restricted to a closed group of participants, and they explicitly state, "PLEASE NOTE: Editors whose usernames are not on the list are strongly cautioned not to review AfC submissions." So, obviously, I can not review any drafts as long as I am not listed among the participants.
- WP:NSPORTS has recently (December 2018; after discussion in November; I was not involved in or aware of the discussions) got a separate section for Orienteering (athlete, club and event). Whether this extends to Ski orienteering is not clear, but it might be reasonable to treat the four IOF sports (foot orienteering, ski orienteering, mountain bike orienteering, and trail orienteering) equally. The new section in NSPORTS differs somewhat from the more general criteria WP:SPORTSPERSON, which says, "A sportsperson is presumed to be notable if the person has actively participated in a major amateur or professional competition or won a significant honor and so is likely to have received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." I have regared the World championships (WOC, Ski-WOC, MTB-WOC, and possibly the "newer" WTOC) and World Games to be among the so-called major competitions. Whether the continental championships should be included, seems to be more disputed; the new Orienteering section in NSPORTS lists medalists at the European championships as "presumed notable", as well as a few other specific qualifying achievements. Most of the O biographies that I have created satisfy both the "old" (general) and "new" (specific) criteria.
- Comments to the Draft:Oeyvind Watterdal. The name of the article should be changed to Øyvind Watterdal, if created. His birth date is not verified in the given citation (It says Year of birth: 1987), so according to WP:DOB only birth year should be in the article. I have checked and verified two of the gold medals in relay in E-ch (2018 and 2015), but I can not find the 2014 European Championships relay currently listed in the given source (IOF Eventor). The individual silver medal (sprint 2015) and bronze medal (long 2018) are verified in IOF Eventor, but I can not find the other relay results in Eventor. The draft lacks suggestions of Categories. Incoming links (redlinks) are not present, but his name is mentioned although not linked in 2018 in orienteering, as member of the relay winning team. Regarding media coverage of Watterdal (for WP:GNG as well as more flesh to the article), some are listed below:
- Øyvind tok EM-medalje: – Jeg skjønner det nesten ikke selv
- Veteranene delte på NM-gullene
- Ski-O: Watterdal tok EM-bronse
- Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen blir leder av utøverkomiteen
- Utøverkomitéen
- Ski-o: Kirkevik og Watterdal vant mellomdistansen i NM
- Watterdal sekunder fra EM-medalje!
- Watterdal tok EM-sølv
Gina Krog
editHello Oceanh -- I'm just about to nominate Gina Krog for GA status. I think the article is looking pretty solid at this point, but I wanted to ask if you're open to assisting me during the GA review process. I don't read Norwegian, so I've been relying on online translators for the Norwegian-language sources, which means I may struggle if the GA reviewer wants clarification about information from these sources. Could I ping you if this happens? I know you have a grounding in the subject matter (since you created the original article!), and I'm guessing you have a good working knowledge of Norwegian, too. Alanna the Brave (talk) 14:00, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Alanna the Brave: Hi Alanna, thank you for doing a very good job with the Gina Krog article. It has been on my watchlist since I started the article (almost ten years ago), so I have roughly followed the progress. Of course I am willing to assist during the review process; I am familiar with Norwegian, so I think I will be able to answer most questions about Norwegian-language sources, when available. At least when it comes to pure translation, while I am not a historian so I might lack some historical background knowledge, and regarding language issues I have to say that English is not my native language. I wish you good luck with the GA review. Oceanh (talk) 15:52, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks Oceanh! I appreciate it. Alanna the Brave (talk) 16:39, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

editHello Oceanh. There have been a created an article about a person with the same name (Jan Flatla) at no:wp (no:Jan Flatla) do you think or know it is the same or not the same person here ? So that we could either link them together or at least get the norwegian edition to wikidata ? Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 19:29, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Migrant, Thank you for your research. This information is new to me, it might possibly be the same person, but I could not immediately find any "proof" or connection. I found an entry of Jan Flatla (the jurist and diplomat) here: Hvem er hvem? 1994, page 142, born 12 March 1935, cand.jur. from 1962, and career in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But here is nothing about a possible handball career. The reference to the Norwegian Handball Federation lists matches played for the national team, mostly in 1958, but lacks birthdate or birthyear.

A tag has been placed on Janne Häkkinen, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Hoax
editThe hoaxer has entered the discussion. So maybe you want to contribute 2 cents? Geschichte (talk) 14:50, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yes I see, that’s almost funny. Your arguments are solid enough. Will see what I can do to contribute, but there is no urgency. The case might progress slowly, but other editors need to be involved, and in the end the outcome will most likely be based on policy, where WP:V is essential for the case.

editHello Oceanh!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Year and date pages

Hello, since you created the article, maybe this file is suitable to add? Cheers. Lotje (talk) 12:49, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- By checking the picture, it seems to be of a different Kjell Lund, the priest Kjell T. Lund. While the person I created is architect (and songwriter) Kjell Arve Lund, most likely a different person. Oceanh (talk) 14:01, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
