References edit

The description you've added to the reference here is not in any way properly formatted. It seems to be a tongue in cheek reference to the content, but because it isn't in English I can't determine that. In any case, the proper reference formatting should be:

Author last name, author first name /co-author. The URL inside a single bracket [ and the title inside after the URL, followed by a closing single bracket ]. Then the name of the publication and the date.

Like this: Author names. I slekt med Elvis. Publication. December 8, 2002.

If you could return that cite with the reference properly formatted, it wouldn't be an issue, but as it is presented does not conform with guidelines and policy. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk)


  1. I dislike that you originally reverted my edit as if it was vandalism (by using the default text).
  2. You can easily determine that it's not "a tongue in cheek reference to the content" by putting the URL into Google Translate – Norwegian (Bokmål) to English; firmenning(en) means (the) third cousin.
  3. I didn't change the formatting of the ref; I only prolonged the name of it (to inform about the text under the already mentioned picture).
  4. Thanks for the info about formatting, anyway. I'll try to improve the ref.

Question edit

May I ask to what change you are referring here? The cite that you fixed was added in a massive content addition here which was copied from the Elvis Presley page on June 1, 2009 by a now blocked sock puppet, so I'm not understanding your edit summary.

By "Too bad the default colours on diffs in this wiki don't show such changes; they show in for instance the Norwegian wiki" I'm referring to the change I made in my edit, which was to add a space between "p." and "489". This change (and "such changes" as I wrote) is not shown by colour in the diff; it can therefore be hard to see what has been done. That's why I wrote (in the summary) exactly what I had changed; I wouldn't have otherwise. I was wrong, though, about it showing on no.wiki; I thought it would because background colour is used where en.wiki uses red colour (on the actual changes). It would be better, in my opinion, if the (type of) change I made (adding/removing space next to a period, comma, question mark, etc.) resulted in a diff looking something like this. However, it was just a comment I made in an edit summary without thinking too much about it. Nording (talk) 12:29, 4 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Article movement Comment edit

Hi. The article which you recently created about Lisa Tiege, has been moved into a Draft:Lisa Teige space where you can improve it. Make sure that you have made a good article that comply wikipedia's Quality standards. Thank you. B. N .D | TALK 12:50, 19 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I disagree with your action; I don't believe it was in accordance with WP:DRAFTS#Moving articles to draft space. I object, per: "Other editors (including the author of the page) have a right to object to moving the page, and to have the matter discussed at WP:AfD. If an editor raises an objection, move the page back to mainspace and list at AfD." Nording 13:49, 19 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Dear Nording. I hear you, but your article is incomplete. It is lacking information. It need loads of modification before moving to main space. It seems that you even got her name wrong. So i suggest that you must improve it before moving it again. B. N .D | TALK 14:02, 19 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

@B.N. Dehigaspage: I've undone this move; Nording is correct that your move is against policy. Per WP:DRAFTIFY, only users with the New Page Reviewer right can perform moves from mainspace to draft space unilaterally, and you don't have this right. Writ Keeper  14:14, 19 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Im very sorry, I just thought that it was a wrong thing to do. It won't happen again B. N .D | TALK 14:16, 19 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
