Hello Sondre!

This is your talk page which means that all of the below comments are directed to you. You are supposed to answer them if needed. – Elisson • T • C • 16:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


Hi and welcome to wikipedia! Just one thing, though - if you find someone has changed an article that you just edited back to what was there before you edited, don't immediately rush in and edit it back. Go to the article's talk page and discuss it there instead - naming a source if you have it. If you follow that, you pretty much can't go wrong with WP Sam Vimes 23:04, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Hello Sondre. Are you aware that the comments on this page are directed towards you? Please respond if you're reading this. --StuartBrady (Talk) 01:30, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] World Rally Championship

Thanks for your edits on the result pages, it envolves a lot of work with just one of us researching this and editing the pages. So thanks. Is there milage you think in a WRC WikiProject of a type of F1, obviously not as large. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 09:16, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Swimming at the 1988 Summer Olympics

Why do you constantly replace Hungarian 1957-present flag in the article Swimming at the 1988 Summer Olympics with 1949-1956 one? The 1988 Olympics were held in 1988, not in the 1950s. Cmapm 12:24, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Please stop doing that. Stalinist Hungary flag you are inserting have been in use in years 1949-1956 only. -- Darwinek 13:43, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just assisting you on cleanup of different articles

Just wanted to let you know that I am in process of entering information of different Nordic skiing items. If you want to see how Jouko Karjalainen looks now compared to how it was, you see how much cleanup was needed for this. I do appreciate your effort, but I am trying to make it more readable. Chris 21:26, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FIFA World Cup 1994

Hi. I'm not sure what convention you're using for swapping teams in the footballboxes. Or were you just following 85.165.205.236's edits? (I tend to go with whatever is on the match reports... but swapping them seems like a waste of time, as there are plenty of other things to be getting on with.) Cheers. —StuartBrady (Talk) 14:46, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Just letting you know, you did actually break the score for one game. I was looking for any mistakes, and still missed it. Luckily someone else spotted it. --StuartBrady (Talk) 22:00, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi again. Some of your recent edits to the article are not helpful. I've reverted them. --StuartBrady (Talk) 12:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
User SndrAndrss, please note that your repeated edits of the 1994 FIFA World Cup page may violate the WP:3RR rule. Please attempt to communicate with other editors in this matter, either here or on the article's talk page. -- DeLarge 13:55, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
I reiterate the above comment by DeLarge. Please use the talk page before making changes, as you are on the brink of of breaking the three revert rule. Oldelpaso 18:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked for 24 hours

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future.

Stifle (talk) 10:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Gross

You have incorrectly moved the article on the German swimmer. Please see WP:UE: "If you are talking about a person, country, town, movie or book, use the most commonly used English version of the name for the article". This is an English Wikipedia. -- DeLarge 07:50, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Stop moving this page without first discussing it with other editors on the talk page. If you are not willing to discuss it, these edits will be reverted every time. David D. (Talk) 07:24, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Colin McRae

I know he's British, but if we're going to use {{flagicons}}, please realise that he himself uses the flag of Scotland on the side of his car ~ see his Ford Focus and his Citroën Xsara. I'm happy to discuss this, but if you continue with your existing approach of ignoring all communications with fellow editors, then I'll revert. --DeLarge 22:30, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

As seen here, Richard Burns used the Union Flag of the United Kingdom on his car, not the St George's Cross of England. Please VERIFY your information before editing. --DeLarge 23:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Athletics at the 1984 Summer Olympics

Please stop deleting the results from this table. Until you discuss these edits i will revert your efforts. Give me your rationale for such sweeping changes. David D. (Talk) 22:24, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Athletics_at_the_1996_Summer_Olympics

Please stop deleting the results from this table. Until you discuss these edits i will revert your efforts. If you really want to change it to a table format, and i think that would be good, make sure you incorporate the results too. At present your edits are doing more bad than good. In many cases boardering on vandalism. Please use the talk page before making major edits. David D. (Talk) 17:51, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Athletics_at_the_1992_Summer_Olympics

Deleting data is vandalism. Use the talk page before making major edits. For example maybe you can explain why a format with no results would be desirable or useful? David D. (Talk) 17:55, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] distruption

Before doing major edits on a page you need to discuss them on the talk page. Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. David D. (Talk) 18:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:3RR, Athletics at the 1992 Summer Olympics

User SndrAndrss, please note that your repeated edits of the Athletics at the 1992 Summer Olympics page may violate the WP:3RR rule. Please attempt to communicate with other editors in this matter, either here or on the article's talk page. --DeLarge 18:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

You are past the limit on 3RR. Stop reverting and start using the talk page. David D. (Talk) 20:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More disruption

Your editing to wikipedia is caauing more harm than good. If you continue along these lines there will be a strong consensus to block you from editing here in the future. Many editors have assumed good faith with your edits but you continue to add factually incorrect information. For example: do not change the maiden name of athletes to their married name if they won the medal before they were married.

You made the following edit. Müller to Schersing but this is incorrect, here is a resource that you can use to confirm the data BEFORE making changes. Please be more careful when changing the names of athletes. If in doubt go and check the primary sources. David D. (Talk) 20:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Country codes

You made some errors in country codes. Perhaps you are confusing general country codes with IOC (International Olympic Committee) country codes. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template. (SEWilco 04:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC))

I also do not see your SFRY in Template:Country ISO code alias SFRY listed in ISO 3166-1 alpha-3. If no ISO code exists (or existed) do not define one. (SEWilco 03:01, 29 August 2006 (UTC))
The 3-letter ISO code for Yugoslavia was YUG. http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/03updates-on-iso-3166/nlv8-cs.html (SEWilco 03:48, 29 August 2006 (UTC))
The 3-letter ISO code for the SFRY was YUG. http://www.davros.org/misc/iso3166.html (SEWilco 03:50, 29 August 2006 (UTC))
You should be using {{flagIOC}} for Olympic icons, so you can use the IOC country codes. Don't mess up the non-IOC sports with IOC abbreviations. (SEWilco 04:49, 29 August 2006 (UTC))
See List of IOC country codes. (SEWilco 03:59, 1 September 2006 (UTC))

Leave the abbreviations of country codes as they were created, with the ISO three letter country code. They are used for many purposes. Do not change them to match your favorite sport's abbreviations. (SEWilco 15:08, 2 September 2006 (UTC))

I've just noticed the damage you're doing to e.g. Template:Country label alias West Germany. Please stop. You are doing more harm than good at the moment. --StuartBrady (Talk) 16:47, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

If you need an alternate label for the flag template, try something like: {{flag|East Germany|name=GDR}} (SEWilco 20:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC))

[edit] 1974 FIFA World Cup

You also did some damage here. Please be more careful. --Guinnog 17:34, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Athletics at the 2000 Summer Olympics

What was your purpose in making the edit which made the UK flag bigger than any other? Please stop making this kind of edit. --Guinnog 16:26, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. SEWilco 04:14, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm disappointed you haven't answered either of my comments here. Consider this your final warning; any more vandalistic and disruptive edits (by which I mean, for example, making one flag bigger than all the others in a table) and I will block you. It isn't fair on other editors to have to spend their time checking up on edits and clearing up after you. If the edits I am talking about were honest mistakes, you may need to take more care, as I mentioned earlier. Use the preview function and seek the consensus of other editors before making any major changes to the format of articles, please. --Guinnog 09:29, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flag of Belarus

Hello! Can you place a border around the Belarussian flag.

Sondre

[edit] F1 flags

Hi - thanks for your contributions to F1 articles. Unfortunately, the concensus for WP:F1 is that we go with the flags used at the podium ceremonies, which match the drivers racing licenses and therefore are all UK flags, not England, Wales etc. I've reverted your recent changes. Cheers anyway --4u1e 12:14, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] World Rally Championship results

Hello! Can you write up all World Rally Championship results from 1984 to 1991.

Sondre

[edit] Template:Country flag alias England

Can you please keep on border on the England please see the Northern Ireland and Wales versions as a border around the flag looks more professional. Kingjamie 18:41, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page usage

Sondre, this page is generally used for messages to you. The few people who might read it are those who left you messages, and it is often a good idea to reply. It is not very likely that anyone will read a new message where you are requesting someone do something. You might look for a WikiProject with a Talk page being used for such requests. If you look at Help you'll find information such as Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. (SEWilco 16:54, 13 September 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Why...

...do you remove the <br>'s in relay athletics results and replace them with commas? It looks ugly. Punkmorten 12:13, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1994 FIFA World Cup

Hello, may I ask you to stop editing the cities of stadiums in the article 1994 FIFA World Cup. The situation is explained at 1994 FIFA World Cup#Venues and Talk:1994 FIFA World Cup#Foxboro Stadium. Another thing is that after you make an edit, it is a good idea to hit the "Show Preview" button to see if your edit gives you the desired results, so that if your edit actually damages the page, then you can change your edit. Thanks! Chanheigeorge 18:08, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use

Sondre, you cannot add the photo on the book cover to the Yelena Isinbayeva article. I have had to revert you four times now. Please go and read WP:FU, it is very explicit that such photos can only be used on articles about the book itself. David D. (Talk) 04:56, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WRC event dates

Once again, I have to revert your changes. The correct information is already there, and you are changing it. The dates of these events have been checked against the information at the official site. The events whose dates you changed have night-time super specials.

LEAVE THE DATES ALONE. YOU HAVE THE WRONG INFORMATION.

--DeLarge 16:42, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MedalCountry template

i noticed that you are editing many of the medals tables by adding the medalcountry template. Has there been some decision to add the Template:MedalCountry to all infobox style medals tables? They look terrible and it causes the tables to become bloated. The first line of every biography says which country each athlete represents. The only useful function for this template is to distinguish medals that have been won for different countries in the rare cases where they have represented different countries in their career. And why the flags? What function do they serve in this template, other than to look pretty or a distraction depending on ones opinion? David D. (Talk) 19:19, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FIFA World Cup squad articles

Hi Sondre. Can you please stop editing the FIFA World Cup squad articles? You're leaving them in a damaged state. I'm not even sure that the flag of Hungary that you uploaded was the official flag from 1957-1989. The only thing I can find is a reference to "Kádár's Flag" from the site that you stole the image from. I presume it was János Kádár's own personal flag. --StuartBrady (Talk) 15:09, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Maria Sharapova Swimsuit 2006 3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Maria Sharapova Swimsuit 2006 3.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:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:07, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

In what sense did you create these images? Were you the photographer? If you've scanned and uploaded the image then you are not the creator nor do you own the copyright. Consequently, you can't decide to use a GNU license. Could I ask you to stop uploading images until you grasp the fundamentals of copyright licensing. Thanks, Addhoc 17:45, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Sondre. You are illegally uploading images from http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/features/2006_swimsuit/athletes/ — please stop. This is generally considered vandalism and if you continue, I expect that you will be banned from editing. --StuartBrady (Talk) 18:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Your latest round of misguided, incorrect edits were once again reverted within the hour.

Hi, please do not add parameters to the template before gaining consensus for it on the template talk page. – Elisson TC 21:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Please, discuss your additions on the talk page to gain consensus for or against the addition of new parameters. One more revert from you and you break WP:3RR which will get you blocked, as well as you may be blocked for not answering the messages on your talk page. – Elisson TC 12:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Why give him any latitude? This is an old dog, and communicating with other editors would be a new trick. 3RR violation reported, 12:58, November 12, 2006. Expect another enforced Wikibreak, Sondre. --DeLarge 13:01, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Colin McRae (AGAIN)

I KNOW he's British, but if we're going to use {{flagicons}}, please realise that HE HIMSELF USES THE SCOTTISH FLAG ON THE SIDE OF HIS CAR ~ see photos of his Ford Focus and his Citroën Xsara. --DeLarge 19:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Argentina and Hungary flags for Olympic templates

Hello. Based on previous comments on your talk page page, I am not sure that you will even read my comments, let alone reply to them, but I will try. Could you please supply a reference that says that Argentina did not use their standard state flag (with the sun in the center) for past Olympic Games? Here is a source that says they did: the official report of the 1924 Games (PDF file here, page 524) clearly shows a drawing of the Argentinian flag for their polo gold medal, and that picture shows the normal state flag with the sun. Why do you persist in changing this flag? Do you have a better source? What is it?

Similarly, why do you persist in changing the flag of Hungary for Olympic Games 1960 and later? The article Flag of Hungary clearly states that the tricolor only, with no coat of arms, emblem, etc. in the center, was the OFFICIAL flag of Hungary after 1957. Why do you contradict this source? Please supply a reference. Andrwsc 21:05, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1982 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships

FYI. I just reverted your edit on the Men's 4 x 10km relay at the 1982 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships from last week for clarity reasons. Your edit made this event look less than clear. Please think about this before you do things like that. Chris 14:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disruption

SndrAndrss, if you do another edit to the Template:Infobox Football club without first either discussing it on that template's talk page, or here, I will have to block you for disruption, given your previous edit history of that template as well as you not answering any messages posted here. – Elisson TC 17:06, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:EUN

Your recent edits to the EUN template have it displaying improperly on pages; I've reverted it to a clean version. I understand that the template needs to be edited to include a flag as do other similar templates, but as there are a number of pages that use the template, I think it needs to be in full working order before it is changed. Eron 15:23, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

SndrAndrss: Do testing on your own copies of pages, not on live pages. Use a page like User:SndrAndrss/test for your testing. (SEWilco 04:48, 25 November 2006 (UTC))

[edit] One club man

Hi, I deleted Giuseppe Baresi from the list of one-man-club. He in fact also played for Modena at the end of his career. --Lanerossi 22:40, 22 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Flag of Hungary, again

SndrAdrsss, please stop your edits to {{Country flag IOC alias HUN}}. They are wrong. Hungary has used a tricolor ONLY since 1957. Here are two indisputible sources for the Olympic Games:

  1. Official report from 1960 Olympics in Rome (online here), page 51. This is a photo of the Hungarian team marching in the Opening Ceremony. You can clearly see that the flag is a tricolor with NO coat of arms or anything else on the centre stripe.
  2. Official report from 1964 Olympics in Tokyo (online here), page 15. Also a photo from the Opening Ceremony, this time in color. Part of the flag is occluded, but it is still fairly clear that there is nothing in the centre white stripe of the flag.

I hope these sources are sufficient for you to stop contradicting the statements on Flag of Hungary with your own version. Andrwsc 01:10, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Team events in the 1984 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships

I just wanted to let you know I had to do a lot of edits to fix what you created regarding the 1984 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships. These were initially done in the 1985 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in an effort to avoid any confusion with the 1984 Winter Olympics when the FIS had changed their format from even years in between the Winter Olympics to every odd-numbered year beginning in 1985. As a result of your actions, I had to do a total of 28 edits (excluding this one) to fix what you did.

I ask you again whenever you do something to think about the consequences of your actions. I am already aware of your previous controversies given what has happened on your talk page. You are getting better, but if you have an issue, please bring it up either on the article's talk page or on the editor's talk page. Please discuss this if you would like. Chris 15:38, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flag icons

SndrAndrss, what are you trying to change or fix? Flag icons are intended to use the bordered versions (where appropriate) for a reason! Why do you persist in changing them to non-bordered, and then usually back to bordered again a short time later? You have done this several times already -- what is your intention? These experiments are very disruptive - please stop! Andrwsc 19:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{Infobox Football club}}

You've made a mistake with the new parameters - you've used {{{mgrtitle}}} as the variable for both the manager's title and the assistant manager's title. I would correct it myself but you probably know more about it than I do so I'll leave it to you. Qwghlm 14:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

SndrAndrss, I'm not going to warn you any more. If you do another edit to the Template:Infobox Football club—be it today, tomorrow, or in a month—without first discussing it on that template's talk page (discussing includes getting feedback before making any changes), I will block you for disruption, given your previous edit history of that template as well as your inability to answer any messages posted here. You have once, and only once, shown that you would like to discuss the matter, here, and I suggested you gave reasons to add the parameters on the template talk page, which you did not. I repeat, consider this to be a final warning. I will not give you more slack. – Elisson • T • C • 16:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for violating Wikipedia policy by disrupting Wikipedia, failing to discuss changes with other users, failing to follow consensus, and failing to answer messages left at your talk page..

You may also email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list instead, or mail unblock-en-l@mail.wikimedia.org.

[edit] {{Nordic skiing World Championships}}

Regarding the {{Nordic skiing World Championships}} template you did earlier today, please discuss any changes you plan on doing on the template discussion board before doing so. I reverted back to what you had because you missed a few items. Additionally there are some languages that have just the years on this only and I would prefer that considering the events are alreay listed on most of the items. Sometimes when you try to make things better, you actually make them worse. Please bear that in mind when you do things like this. I have seen from your user talkpage that you are making other users angry about what you have done and that you have already gone through a discussion and mediation with others as well. Please think about what you are doing before you go off and make more edits because you could end not being a user anymore. Chris 23:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stop removing borders from national football team templates

Hi, SndrAndrss, please stop removing the borders from various national team templates, such as {{ESTf}} or {{CYPf}}. The border is there for a reason. – Elisson • T • C • 18:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flagicons on World Rally Championship

Please, please, please stop replacing these flags. Don't you realise how difficult it would be for other editors if they can't simply put {{flagicon|Spain}} in their edits. Rallying is not a "national" sport -- drivers do not represent their countries during the WRC -- so I see no reason for specifying the civil flag. You have obtained absolutely no consensus for making these changes. --DeLarge 13:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Olympic medalists in speed skating

Sorry about reverting your edits in the article; you will probably want to redo them. - Mike Rosoft 14:38, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] communication

Hello. I see you are again making edits that other users have asked you not to, without explaining yourself. As a collaborative project, communication between users is essential to Wikipedia. I am warning you that unless you start responding to other users comments in some meaningful way, your earlier block may have to be reinstated. Morwen - Talk 14:39, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I would second that you need to communicate more on the talk page AND use the edit summary. While you make many good edits there is a high number of incorrect edits or half finished formatting. As such, every one of your edits has to be scrutinised since we don't know what type of edit to expect. If you discussed your edits then your ratio of correct to ill conceived edits would improve. AND people will be less frustrated with your editing. David D. (Talk) 15:56, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Country template icons broken

If you notice that flag icons have vanished, it may be because User:Centrx has edited a protected template which is part of the flag icon tools. Some flag icons have been broken. (SEWilco 18:19, 11 December 2006 (UTC))

Those changes have been removed. Back to normal. (SEWilco 07:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC))
