[edit] Thanks

Thanks Alasdair. You should also know that I like, and spend some time watching your contributions list. I like to read your great contributions to Norwegian related articles. Rettetast (talk) 13:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

And your recent 19th-century bios inspired me to create a slew of notables from the Skien and Porsgrunn area. Good sources are lying around, fortunately. Most of them were related in some way, through intricate marriages. Punkmorten (talk) 19:16, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Haha, just like my hometown—where everyone is everyones second cousin. Good work on these ancient people, and amazing good references you have found. Personally I was just removing red links on Bergensbanen with some library books. Arsenikk (talk) 22:51, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] TDM

Dear friend. Transportation Demand Management is a technical term widely used in transportation engineering, usually refered as TDM, and similar to the term Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), so I think your unconsulted change of the name is wrong. I kindly request you undo it and raise the issue for discussion in the Talk page. Mariordo (talk) 13:20, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category changes - Metro-Airport (VTA)

Hello there!

On the page Metro-Airport (VTA), you removed Category:Airport rail links and added Category:Railway stations serving airports in the United Kingdom.

I've reverted this change as this light rail station is located in the United States, not the United Kingdom. If you've made similar changes to other articles, you may want to check them to ensure that those changes are acurate.

Take care.

Thanks; I was having some problems with HotCat, and went through an extra time to double check all the UK/US articles, but I guess one just slipped through. Thanks for fixing it up and letting me know :) Arsenikk (talk) 08:48, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
I've categorized the Mountain View - Winchester (VTA) article as Category:Airport rail links and the station serving the airport in Category:Railway stations serving airports in the United States. Hope that is to your approval. Arsenikk (talk) 08:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Looks great. Thanks! --Brianvdb (talk) 01:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Skabo

Hello!

I found your name on the list of WP:WikiProject Trains participants where I also noticed you're from Norway. I thought you'd maybe be interested in taking a look at something that I think someone like you could fix easily.

Škabo is an article about a Serbian rapper. One of the redirects to this article is Skabo which seems to be a short version of Skabo Jernbanevognfabrikk and I'm led to believe that this was a Norwegian manufacturer of trains. There seem to be a few articles that link to Skabo but they are then incorrectly redirected to the article about the Serbian rapper.

I took an educated guess that you might be one of the better qualified people on here to write at least a stub on Skabo Jernbanevognfabrikk so that train articles that contain a link to Skabo are not redirected to Škabo. I would have done it myself but a Google search on Skabo Jernbanevognfabrikk brings up almost exclusively Norwegian articles so I really can't come up with any verifiable material.

Let me know if this is something you might be able to do or if, maybe, I should bring it up to the WPTrains community in general.

Thanks for the note. Skabo Jernbanevognfabrikk is on my mental list of articles to write "some day"; at present it is not near the top, partially due to lack of good sources. Since I am responsible for most of these links myself, what should be done is that Skabo becomes a disambiguation page and that links to Škabo and Skabo Jernbanevognfabrikk, and that I try to get better at not linking directly to Skabo. I can not promise to get around to this immediately, but I can look into it soon. Arsenikk (talk) 14:07, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
That sounds like a workable solution. I was hoping to avoid a disambiguation page with a red-linked entry but I guess, acording to WP:MOSDAB, there's no harm in it until we gather up enough material for a stub.
Thanks for responding.

There seems to be an article on the Norwegian Wikipedia (with references), so translation should be imminent. I will do some dabbing, and get around to it soon. Arsenikk (talk) 22:08, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I have fixed the incoming links to Skabo. Rettetast (talk) 22:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Rettetast. I've written the article now; it has about as many lines with reference as content. Might look around for more tomorrow and see if I can get it up to DYK standards. Arsenikk (talk) 22:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
