Re:Palatia[edit]

Hi Oceanh. Yes, I noticed that article. I've already begun adding stuff, and researching the ship. Should be ready for DYK tomorrow or a little bit later. Now, motor or steam? I'm not entirely sure myself. My books say MS, but tons of online sources (most of which I won't use, cause they're not completely reliable, say SS. I'll have to do some more research, but I'm on it. Manxruler (talk) 23:09, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Will see what you come up with! Oceanh (talk) 23:16, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. :) It's even better now. I do research, writing, lecturing, mentoring and teaching for a living, so it's not too hard to do the same thing in the context of WP.

Rikspolitikorpset[edit]

Hi. Do you know if it's correct to say that "Rikspolitikorpset" was a part of Norwegian police troops in Sweden during World War II? Geschichte (talk) 19:04, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the Norwegian police troops in Sweden were of two kinds: ordnary police ("Rikspolitiet") and reserve troops ("Reservepolitiet"). According to Ole Berg there were 1,500 ordinary police troops and 12,000 reserve troops in 1945. The Swedish government had initially allowed education of 1,500 ordinary police troops (with full police education), and additionally 8,000 reserve troops (with a shorter or more simplified education). Oceanh (talk) 19:59, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

July 2011[edit]

Hello Oceanh!

I just would like to ask you, that if you have time and you are in the mood, please, share your thoughts on these deletion entries:

I dare to ask you to do so, because you have shown earlier that you are in the handball business and has not only the knowledge of the sport but also knows how wiki works. If you don't have the will, then of course just ignore my message.

Thank you, Thehoboclown (talk) 14:38, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

I generally prefer not to participate in Afd discussions. Having said that, the reason you give for these entries seems logical, and has already gained some support.

Else, I have to say you are doing a great job on improving the coverage of handball in Wikipedia! – and in particular on Hungarian handball. Keep up the good work! Oceanh (talk) 20:51, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NBL articles[edit]

Hi. I've seen that you often create articles with sources to Norsk biografisk leksikon, but do not take full advantage of the source (i.e. create a stub). Wondering what is the reason? Sometimes you destroy the opportunity for others to make a DYK of it. --Eisfbnore • talk 13:11, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! First, my compliments to your continuous work on improving the quality on wikipedia, with DYK, GA, FC, et cetera! My contributions are different. Most of my articles are short stubs containing a few basic facts with references. Only about 2% of the articles I started this year were nominated for DYK. Around 15%, or 135 of my new articles (this year) are marked as biographies with nbl entries (according to incomplete notes). I seldom exploit sources in full, as it takes a lot extra time to do this properly. The short stubs are often candidates for dyk expansion later. I am trying, as a rule of thumb, to create articles as short stubs (rather not exceeding 3-400 characters of prose), so that they can possibly be expanded for dyk later. There are always exceptions though, and other editors often add bits of information in such a way that dyk-expansion later is harder. Oceanh (talk) 06:49, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll pay that. To be fair, the few articles started by you which I've expanded (Jens Bache-Wiig and Bjørn Bjørnsen AFAIK) have been small enough for me to expand it fivefold with the NBL source. Keep up the good work. --Eisfbnore • talk 10:51, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you![edit]

Hello!

I just wanted to say a BIG thanks for keeping an eye on handball articles and for your DYK nominations! I don't really know how it works and cannot really rate my work, but it's great that you put on articles that have a bit interesting information to get some attention. Thank you and keep it up:) – Thehoboclown (talk) 09:01, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Keep up your great work on handball articles! Some rough statistics: You have contributed to six out of the seven handball-related DYK hooks in the English Wikipedia in 2011. Also, your five DYKs on Hungarian handball make up a significant fraction (about one third) of the Hungarian-related hooks. Oceanh (talk) 18:11, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adiantum viridimontanum[edit]

Sorry about that. Feel free to add "when they occur" to the first hook; I see the ambiguity in it now. (I think the second hook is a bit zippier anyway.) Choess (talk) 02:49, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New Norwegian naval aircraft article[edit]

Hi Oceanh,

I just spent some very rare free time to create a new article on a Marinens Flyvebaatfabrikk aircraft; the Marinens Flyvebaatfabrikk M.F.4. Could you have a look at it and see if you have anything in your sources to add?

Btw: As usual, I've really enjoyed reading your latest work; especially the articles on lighthouses, newspapers and fjords. Not to mention Turtagrø. :) Both thumbs up. Cheers. Manxruler (talk) 11:27, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Your new article on M.F.4 look good to me, nice work. I have two sources, Meyer (1973) and Henriksen (1994), which mention this aircraft model briefly. The only extra information is a table of individual planes which includes five of the M.F.4s, stating dates of their crash or discard, and number of hours in active operation. The two fjords Rombaken and Herjangsfjord are relevant to the battles of Narvik in 1940. Short text, but some informative pictures. The lighthouse articles also have brief texts, but I think the pictures add useful information, when available. Regards, Oceanh (talk) 11:16, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Nice to hear. I have the info on the dates of crash or discard on all six of the aircraft, as well the number of hours in operation. It's in the Marinens Flygevåpen 1912–1944 book. Do you think it would be worthwhile to add such info on all the aircraft? I already have such info on the last aircraft to be retired, and I'm unsure what value there would be in adding service hours and dates for all the aircraft.

The new articles you have created absolutely fill an important gap in Wikipedia, and serves to complement other articles. Very nicely done. Cheers. Manxruler (talk) 16:56, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again! Thanks for complements for the latest articles, even when they are short. I would not give too high priority to details of the individual aircrafts. Adding extra tabular information might just as well clutter up the article, but if the article later is expanded there is of course room for details on each plane (since there are so few). By the way, thanks for helping with the Turtagrø article. I just created two ships articles, MS Ravnaas and MV Vardaas. Maybe you find something to add from your sources, if you have time. I do not have much technical or commercial details about the ships, but I have the book Kiotskee! (1981) by ship's engineer from Ravnaas Brynjolv Baardson, where he gives his account of the bombing incident in 1941, the crew's subsequent stay in Cebu, capture by the Japanese in May 1942, and later experiences in Japanese camps. I am also planning other ships articles in the near future, maybe some of them will be of interest. Regards, Oceanh (talk) 02:29, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback. We'll see what I can find the time for, I only recently completed a fairly major project at work and I'm shortly about to move in connection with having accepted a job offer further south in Norway. I do enjoy ship articles, though, so we'll see. Turtagrø was fun, it was one of those articles that are really nice to have, and I didn't really know what Turtagrø was all about before you wrote the article. Cheers. Manxruler (talk) 17:20, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am glad I had the opportunity to visit Turtagrø a few times before the fire, and experience some of the "old" atmosphere (library of old books, historical pictures on the walls, etc). Hope you will be satisfied with your new job (and congratulations also ...). Best wishes, Oceanh (talk) 00:29, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You got to visit old Turtagrø? How cool. I do enjoy a good library, and a good atmosphere too. I hope to be satisfied with my new job. It's steady work, and a pay increase from my current temporary position. But it's also some distance from urban areas and very cold in the winter, so time will tell, I guess.

MV Ravnaas[edit]

Nice start, but there is plenty of material available to expand the artice with at Plimsoll Ship Data - Code Letters, dimensions, engine details etc. Mjroots (talk) 16:44, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link. I am not too familiar with ships articles and their sources. Included some of the information but a bit unsure of the technical terms. For instance, what is "tonnage" – some sources for Ravnaas give 6,850 (dwt), while others, like the Lloyd's register, give 4,016 tons and other numbers as well. Would appreciate some clarification – one reason I hesitate to include these numbers is that there is a risk for a non-expert to mix both concepts (displacement, tonnage, net, gross, dwt, grt, nrt) and units. I named the motor ship MS Ravnaas, why do you call her MV Ravnaas, is there a significant difference between the terms MS and MV, or are they interchangeable? Oceanh (talk) 10:55, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They're interchangeable. Manxruler (talk) 12:06, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks. Useful overview of ship prefixes. I checked the other ship article started the same day, a stub. Since MT Vardaas was a tanker according to the sources in the article, I moved the article name from "MV ..." to "MT ..." (not sure whether the prefix MV covers MT as a subset). Also corrected the statement "tonnage of 12,683 tons" to "displacement of 12,683 DWT", after more detailed checking of sources. Hope getting the technical details right, before creating the rest of the set of ships on my to-do list. Oceanh (talk) 19:58, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mikenorton (talk) 00:03, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Oceanh, I thought that I would continue the conversation about 'professed sportsmen' here, as the nomination is now ready to go. I read 'professed sportsmen' as men who tried to make out that they were sportsmen, but were not. From the sources that I've seen and the rest of the article I presume that the intended meaning was 'sporting men who were professionals (but just not in sport)' i.e. that they were amateur sportsmen drawn from those with professions - teachers, doctors lawyers etc. If I've got that wrong and they were professional sportsmen, then that's what the article should say. Mikenorton (talk) 09:12, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I trust your interpretation of 'professed sportsmen'. Not being a native English speaker myself, I am unfamiliar with the term, and must rely on its dictionary definition. As you may have noticed, I removed the word 'professed' due to its ambiguity. If you find a better term, fine. Among the first members of the club were excellent skiers, pioneers in the sport with top sporting achievements, mainly recruited among students and thus typically ended up with academic careers. Among the later members I notice several 'professional sports administrators', some of them joining the club well after their active sporting career had ended.
