You've been here since August and nobody has given you the official welcome? It's really quite shocking. Zambia editors appear to be underrepresented even on WP:AFR, so you are doubly welcome. - BanyanTree 14:18, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. Can I ask you to write more edit summaries? It helps other users get a sense of what is going on with their watchlist without clicking on every diff. I sometimes forget and have set my editing preferences to prompt me when I have a blank summary. Thanks, BanyanTree 16:32, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I do it most of the time, have that option switched on. Sorry if Ive missed it sometimes, Ill try to write something informative. I agree that they are very usefull. --Screensaver 16:56, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Svoldr

I'm sorry, I think I got somewhat over-defensive on the Svoldr article - I've invested a lot of time in it so your comment got me a bit off-balance. Your point that a greater number of recent secondary sources should be consulted is perfectly correct. Haukur 14:44, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I see your points, and they are good ones. If you give me some time (for the moment Ive got loads of studiework to do) I will try to write something about different wives of the battle and the sources. If its ok I would like to integrate it into the introduction (or whatever you call whats above the "Content" box) as well, so those who just read the short summarie get both views.

What I meant was not that we should remove the information about the number of ships completly for the article, but only from the battle template at the top. Maybe we could change it to something like "Unknown, maybe/propably/according to some sources/something else 11"?

As I said earlier, the article has really good information when it comes to describing the legend. If we balance it a bit Im sure it could be a good featured article candidate?

[edit] WikiProject Sw

Hi. Did you notice my reply at the talk page of WikiProject Sweden?

Also, feel free to sign up. It doesn't bind you to anything, it shows there is some interest at the project, and maybe at some time you'll receive interesting updates.

Oh, I most have missed it when I checked my watchlist. Sorry. Thanks for the litterature tips, anyway. Ive added my name to the list as well. Of course I must be a member of the Sweden project!
