[edit] Additions to the Urine talk page

I don't understand what you added in the middle of the section I removed from the article page? It makes it confusing for other people, and I'm not sure who you're addressing with 'you'? Not me, I'm sure, because I didn't write the section. IMO comments about the section should go below it, so that the section (which I removed from the article as you can see) will be obviously one unit. Anchoress 22:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Apologies. I read the section as if you were the one making coment. Upon reading the section again, I see that you were not the one expounding on the wonders of urine. Thank you for pointing out my error. Patris Magnus 02:46, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Fixxed it Patris Magnus 02:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
No probs. Thanks for the reply and the edit. Hopefully the expert tag will draw some editors who will be able to shape up this important, currently inferior, article. :-) Anchoress 03:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Molvik

I tried answering you at Talk:Norway#Looking_for_Home. I just hope that I haven't in any way discouraged you by starting out pessimistically. I hope others are able to help you more than I have. Feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions or comments especially for me, though I'll still be watching the Norway talk page. Delta Tango • Talk 05:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Using the Norwegian phonebook (gulesider.no), I found the following places named Molvik:
  • Molvik (bay in lake), Bremanger kommune[1]
  • Molvik (farm), Rødøy kommune[2]
  • Molvik (bay in lake), Rødøy kommune[3]
  • Molvik (building for farming, fishing and hunting), Tromsø kommune[4]
  • Molvik (Old settlement), Nordreisa kommune[5]
  • Molvikveien ('Molvik road'), Rygge kommune[6]
It is worth noteing that even if the farm your family came from is no more, farmsteads in Norway usually either took their name from where they were, or _gave_ the name to where they were. Ie, even if the farm is no more, the name is likely to still be there. Another option is that the name was Mølvik, but was written Molvik when your family emigrated (seeing as English lack the letter ø).
  • Mølvik (farm), Rygge kommune[7]
Hope this helps somewhat. One option might be to contact the various muncipalities directly and ask if they have any records that might help - the old 'churchbooks' is an invaluable source.
Good luck, WegianWarrior 07:34, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


Thank you for your help. I'm pretty sure that it is this one:

  • Molvik (farm), Rødøy kommune[8]

My father, who has been there, described passing a mountain lake on the way down to the farm. I'm now sure that it is in Rødøy kommune. Thanks again Patris Magnus 21:00, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:TheTeam.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TheTeam.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] Kalispel Indian Reservation

Perhaps I should have been more specific when I said "unpopulated," because specifically I meant that there was no permanent resident population on that territory as of the 2000 census. (I believe that the Census Bureau defines this as people who normally sleep there at night.) This of course does not mean that there is never any population on that land, just that no one had his permanent residence (home) there at that time. There is much industrial land in the United States where there is no official resident population, i.e., no one resides there permanently, yet there is a large daytime work population.
