[edit] User name

If you want, you can probably ask to take over Steinberger as a user name - there was only one edit[1] and that was two years ago, to a talk page. See WP:CHU/U 199.125.109.103 (talk) 20:44, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Ow, tanks. I have thought about it, but knowing how to do. Ssteinberger (talk) 21:08, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Drug policy

I thought you might be interested in this as you are another editor of this page:

An article that you have been involved in editing, Drug policy, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Drug policy. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? NJGW (talk) 20:58, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Just let Dala finish the articles he's making, and when he hasn't edited them for some time fix it up to wiki standards. I've seen this sort of thing before, and at that time I tried calm rational discussion on the talk page. That didn't work (they never replied), so I waited until the article went dormant and fixed everything without a fight. This is already heated, so just wait until he's butting heads with someone else and forgets about this foxhole he's digging. Just work on articles he use to edit, where you can work with the other editors towards a reasonable consensus. NJGW (talk) 21:34, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, I know this guy from Swedish Wikipedia and there he annoys me so much that I'm tired up of writing articles on drug related matters. It has happen more then ones when I try to write something balanced, that he disorts its after being notified by his watchlist. It gets tiresome. I hope he gets banned for pov-pushing or whatever...

You might try Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User conduct (just check out Wikipedia:RFC/How to present a case to see the best way to go about it). If you need some back up, either myself or some other editors from the articles in question could comment. Getting him banned is probably pretty unlikely, but if enough editors are watching him he may be forced to tone it down, and hopefully learn how to behave. Let me know if you have any questions.

Be sure you are not edit warring on Drug policy. Your last edit looks like just that. If there are mistakes in the text you removed, correct them instead of erasing the paragraph. Otherwise, because of the editing history of this article, you should use the talk page to discuss what you think needs to be removed. NJGW (talk) 20:14, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
I'll be more careful. It was not my intention to engage myself in edit warring. As the last section of the ting I wrote has most information presented in his edit, I thought that additional mentioning of high public acceptance would balance out the irrelevant, unsourced (but as far as I know true) statement of "just" 10% in favor of cannabis legalization. I thought this was self-evident. Steinberger (talk) 20:44, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Feel free to make good corrections, add better sources, and in general make the section correct. However, if you are removing sections you need to explain why you are doing so. The first sentence in the section right now, "Sweden has a zero-tolerance policy..." is a good beginning of a summery. I don't know enough about the subject to say too much more, but here's a good layout for each of the sections: [2]. If Australia didn't copyright its government publications I would copy and paste that into the article. NJGW (talk) 20:58, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question about french fries in Sweden

Hi, somebody at the French fry article had a question about a way it says some Swedes eat fries: Talk:French_fries#Sweden_-_two_things. I thought maybe you could answer whether people actually eat fries with ice cream on a regular basis there, or if it might be a joke someone wrote. Thanks, NJGW (talk) 00:29, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Third opinion dispute resolution requested

An editor has requested a Third opinion intervention at Drug policy of Sweden. You have been named as a party to the dispute. Please give me a brief description the pertinent issues and realted diffs. Thanks! --Kevin Murray (talk) 11:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
