Why are some of the decades in the headlines linked and some not? Arnemann 21:14, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know, but as far as I know we don't normally link in section headings. Punkmorten 22:08, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured article?
This was a featured article in the Norwegian Wikipedia, and the contents has been translated and added here. Perhaps we could get a peer review for this and try to give it featured article status? Punkmorten 21:55, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- It certainly needs pictures to get FA status. But where could we get them? The Norwegian Wikipedia has some, but the copyright status is uncertain/disputed. Punkmorten 22:08, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article size
Currently the article is longer than preferable. How should we fix this? Punkmorten 16:46, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- Is it? I don't think articles in Wikipedia can have too much info. I hardly see any sections that has more info than needed. NuclearFunk
- When editing the article you get a message on top which says "This page is 42 kilobytes long. This may be longer than is preferable; see article size." It may or may not be a problem in this case, but thanks for sharing your opinion! Punkmorten 19:26, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- I think Selected famous players should be elsewhere; it looks more like a list of famous Norwegian footballers than a list of those famed for their performances for the Norwegian national team Oldelpaso 22:59, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, I was thinking about removing that section altogether, it's too arbitrary. Instead we could expand the "national team records" lists from 10 to 15 players each? Punkmorten 16:11, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- On the Viking F.K. page I limited the records to 7 on each. I think that would be more than enough. However, many of Norway's most talented and well-known players would not feature in these records at all. I think there should be a "notable players" section, but maybe not that large? NuclearFunk 17:23, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- If they would not feature in such sections, then maybe they weren't particularly notable for their performances on the national team - in a broad, historical perspective. (as you can tell I removed the section. It's still 41 kilobytes long though.) Punkmorten 17:49, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Failed GA
Hi, I've removed this article from the list of nominations for Wikipedia:Good article status for the following reasons:
- No reference section. For articles to gain GA status, they must be referenced. Inline citations are not required but are preferred. See WP:CITE for help with this. After this concern is addressed, please feel free to relist for consideration. Thanks! Air.dance 23:18, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed text
I removed this section "Considering that factor and the cool climate of Switzerland and Austria which is of typical Norwegian weather, Norway is highly predicted to repeat the success of Greece and Denmark as underrated teams who surprisingly went on to become the Euro Champions."
Funny though, but how can you be highly precdicted to suprisingly win the tournament? ;)

[edit] euro 2008 info?
I think this article need some update.Ugur Olgun 19:48, 6 September 2006 (UTC) The current squad need update, here is the March one. [1] Matthew_hk tc 11:33, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
A problem here is that Wikipedia is not a news service. It should give a historically balanced view of the topic. Punkmorten 11:36, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Help Needed Please
I'm currently researching a footballer called Vinnie Jones to update his Wikipedia page with details of a period in his career that he spent playing in Norway.
He played for a club in (I think) the third tier of Norwegian football circa 1984-86. Whilst with the club they played in a cup game against a top-level Norwegian side and came from 2-0 to beat them 3-2.
I know this is all v.vague bt if anyone could provide me with any details (or clues!) to which club he played for or know of any links I could check out I'd be very grateful!
Thank you
