[edit] Dispute

I am a resident of Kristiansand, and was raised in Vennesla, but I have never heard the term "Greater Kristiansand" ("Stor-Kristiansand") used to refer to the municipalities of Kristiansand, Songdalen, Søgne and Vennesla. Therefore, I removed that part. --SAB 19:00, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• • I, too, am a resident of Kristiansand and has heard the term ued many times. Google has 35 hits for the term Therefore, I'm adding that part again. Dubidub 00:33, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • • This is maybe a term used by Kristiansand residents, but residents of the four other municipalities do not recognize this, and will probably feel insulted by being referred to as "part of Kristiansand". Nevertheless, "Greater Kristiansand" is not an official term, and I still think it should be removed. I won't do any edit on this, but other people should state their view here. --SAB 21:07, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
      • Not from there at all, but can we compromise on referring to a "metropolitan area"? -- Jmabel 01:46, Jul 26, 2004 (UTC)

SAB has now raised this to the level of a dispute. This seems to me to be an extremely trivial matter for a dispute. I have no idea of the facts of the matter and I don't want to waste time on it, so I'm going to suggest that:

1. if someone has a citation for this use within a week we add that citation to the article, and remove the dispute tag.
2. if no one has a citation for this use within a week, we delete the statement.

SAB, is that acceptable to you? Jmabel 17:19, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)

I do also think this is a trivial matter, but nevertheless I think the information is wrong. I do however find your suggestion acceptable. --SAB 20:59, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
