Your article on Wenche Hallan does not demonstrate (nor am I able to find any sources that would demonstrate) how she meets the criteria for inclusion for musicians. Hallan doesn't appear to have achieved any significant success in her music, other than the Spellemannprisen, an award which does not appear to meet the criteria of "major musical awards" required by the inclusion criteria.

Hello, Knuand. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 07:26, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

indicates a lack of understanding of Wikipedia policies. Wikipedia articles, especially biographies of living people, must have reliable sources so as to be able to verify the information in the articles. Your biography of your mother does not have such sources, and relies instead on your knowledge of her. Only independently-written published sources are acceptable.

I'm going to see if I can explain a few things here without pointing you to a lot of other pages.

Wikipedia gets lots and lots and lots of articles written each day about people (and other subjects). But Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a social network or Who's who site. Not every person in the world is on enough interest for an encyclopedia to have an article about them. So Wikipedia developed standards as to which articles would or would not be allowed on the project. These standards are generally referred to as "Notability". And Notability means Wikipedia's definition of notability, not anyone else's definition. It means whether or not the person meets the inclusion standards.

The people at issue are very important to you. That is obvious. But unless they meet the notability standards of the project, then I'm sorry, but they just cannot have an article here. Arguing various reasons for their inclusion that have nothing to do with Wikipedia's standards is not going to be a winning argument. And, unfortunately, the reasons that these people are important to *you* are not at all reasons that match Wikipedia's standards. In this case, you are most likely fighting a losing battle. I'm sorry, but it's how it is.

As for Conflict of Interest (COI)... editing with a COI is not forbidden, but it is highly discouraged. What we are seeing happen right now is one reason why. You are so highly invested emotionally in the people behind the articles that you appear to be taking personally things are not in any way meant personally. Wikipedia has rules and standards. You disagree with them. And because of your connections to the article subjects, you are getting highly worked up when those rules are not in your favor. Long time Wikipedia editors have seen this many times before. COI editing very, very often ends badly.

You have said several times that it appears to you that Wikipedia does not want you here. This is far from being true. We do want you here. But we cannot and will not ignore our standards and rules. - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:09, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First, thank you very much for taking the time! This is the firt time sombody try to explain anything to me... Luckily I do pick up things quite easily although more then 50 years old. I do see the problem of involvement, but even so, the the benefit of knowing much about the subjects you write about is not a disqualification on Wikipedia, or am I wrong? My impression is that beeing relative is a disqualification, and further more, some editors think more then one person in a family is suspcius! My personal interest in this case is not familiar! I can see that this seems like a empty remark, but my interest is the time I spend writing an article! When somebody delete my artickles, I want to beleve there are objective reasons for doing so. When I go back and look at the discussions, I belive there are other agendas for delitions! I have to apologise for beeing new at Wikipedia, and do not know everything about how deletion discussions work. Many of these discussions have gone by without my contribution. When 50% of your work is deleted, it should not be suprising that I don't feel welcome here! I would like to contest some of the delitions because I think they are poorely reasoned. Again, thank's for taking the time. Sinserely Knut Knuand (talk) 18:56, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, COI is not a disqualification, but discouraged. Being too close to the subject emotionally can cause a number of problems. Your reactions to the deletions is one such. Another is that you may find it hard to write neutrally about a subject to which you are close. If there is anything negative about the subject, you might find it difficult to write it yourself, or feel you need to "defend" the subject if someone else writes the negative. But as long as negative information follows the rules of the project, it has it's place here just as much as positive information. Wikipedia strives to be neutral, to seek the middle ground, presenting both sides when there are too sides.

Your comments about there being other agendas is problematic. In one way there *are* other agendas. The agendas are what is best for Wikipedia. For following the rules. Just because you do not understand the rules does not in any way make them sinister. We have something here called AGF, or Assume Good Faith. By ascribing to others mysterious bad agendas, you are assuming *bad* faith, assuming bad about them. Doing so, and acting or lashing out on these assumptions, is going to cause you lots of problems. AGF means that, in the absence of evidence otherwise, you should assume (and act as if) the other person only has desires towards the best for the project. If you keep this in the front of your mind, you'll find your time here much easier. You want to improve the project, but so do others. The fact that you are in conflict with others about how best to do that does not in any way lessen everyone's goal, improving the encyclopedia.

But back to Notability. The Notability rules are very much designed to be objective. The fact that you do not (yet) understand them does not change this. The project had to draw lines somewhere for what was and what was not allowed to have articles, and the results are the Notability rules. They may not be intuitive, but they are indeed fairly objective. The key to general notability is the idea that something (or someone) has to have gotten a certain level of attention outside of Wikipedia before they are considered notable enough to have articles remain. And this is, at it's most basic, shown by being able to give Reliable Sources (RS) to establish the notability. RS need to meet three criteria. They must be Reliable, Independent, and Non-Trivial. A blog is generally not Reliable. A press release is not Independent. And being included in a list of something would be a trivial reference. If a reference does not meet all three of these requirements, then it does not show Notability. One RS goes a long way towards showing Notability. Two RS pretty much seals it. The easiest example of a RS would be a full newspaper article on the subject, written independently of the subject, in a established newspaper. This is far from the only type of RS, but it works as an example. - TexasAndroid (talk) 19:45, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Now that you've started to create articles on people a little more notable then we've previously discussed, and that is great. Though, translating articles from no:wiki doesn't confer notability, and these articles might be also deleted (I've seen some with questionable notabilty).

But I've came to your talk-page for a different reason, namely categories. I'm currently cleaning up the Category:Norwegian people; articles should be placed in sub-categories (e.g. Category:Norwegian footballers, Category:Norwegian politicians, Category:Norwegian musicians) instead of that one, and I noticed that you put most of your articles in that category. if we take for instance Per Mathisen, who is Norwegian, jazz musician and a jazz composer: Category:Norwegian jazz composers is a sub-category of Category:Norwegian jazz musicians, which is sub-category of Category:Norwegian people, then you would only need to put Per Mathisen in the first of those three categories.

Hello Knuand,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ernst-Wiggo Sandbakk for deletion, because it seems to be an article that was previously deleted by a consensus decision.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Ratzd'mishukribo (talk) 04:51, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As this was deleted after a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ernst-Wiggo Sandbakk, the way to contest the deletion is, first approach user Beeblebrox (talk), the administrator who closed the discussion. If he does not agree, you can go to WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 16:21, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Ernst-Wiggo Sandbakk, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Darkness Shines (talk) 21:25, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you know: I have nothing personal against you. Following the deletion of Ernst-Wiggo Sandbakk, I think you have crossed the line regarding personal attacks, and you should stop discussion what "this arrogant footballer Mentoz86 has against me" and start discussion the case. (Norsk: Diskuterer sak og ikke person) As I tried to tell you a couple of months ago, the articles you create have dubious notability and lacks reliable sources. Having an article on no:wp does not confer notability on en:wp, and I think you should slow down the rate of article-creation, and instead add reliable sources to the articles you've already created, to prevent them getting deleted. And btw, you should really read this essay about "owning" articles. Cheers, Mentoz86 (talk) 11:10, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• But read your comment and take a closer loock at the underlying lines ... "Hi there. Now that you've started to create articles on people a little more notable then we've previously discussed,...", "You know, Knuand, in English Wikipedia there are notability guidelines, and I can't find any notability guideline that Sandbakk passes. Because he don't appear to satisfy any of the 12 criteria in WP:MUSICBIO and also fails the general notability guideline.", and "When I nominated this for deletion, Sandbakk was one of two "notable" members of that band. Since then the third member of the band has also gotten an article, but I don't think that any of those musicians (except Stubø) passes any notability guideline if you disregard the exsistence of the other articles, which means that the band is not notable either." ... If your knowledge about jazz and jazz musisicians are so dobious, you should stick to subjects you know something about! (Norsk: Så vidt meg bekjent kjenner ikke vi hverandre, så hvorfor du har fått det for deg at du skal slette mine artikler skjønner jeg ikke. Jeg skjønner heller ikke hvorfor du skal ha en så ovenifra og ned (arrogant) tone overfor meg ... bare slutt med det!!) Let me and my projects alone, and I will let you and your projects alone.

I've asked you before. Please stop over wikilinking the articles. A term doesn't need to be wikilinked 5, 6 or 7 times in a stub. Also, dates are not to be wikilinked as everybody knows what 1970 or November means. Bgwhite (talk) 05:18, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seems a bit late in your lifecycle as a Wikipedian for this, but... Hello, Knuand, and welcome to Wikipedia! While efforts to improve Wikipedia are always welcome, unfortunately your contributions are not written in English that is good enough to be useful.

Hello, Knuand,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether UC 3 (album) should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UC 3 (album) .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

• Note: I have found your activities on this AFD discussion to be extremely disruptive. "WP:ILIKEIT" and "Other reviewers like it" are not the same as meeting notability. Indeed, it has been noted that their other albums should probably have their articles deleted and basic content merged into the band's own article. You have also !voted twice on that AFD ... you may not do that, ever, and I have struck your second !vote. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 16:20, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the double vote! I newer intended to vote twice - thought the discussion started over again when the entry was Relisted ... When it comes to like or not like, that has never been part of my argument! Knuand (talk) 05:15, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why are people so concerned about the vote? I thought the main thing was to "generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached". That it is not mainly a vote, but a cosensus discussion! Knuand (talk) 21:25, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're not discussing - you're trying to force your way. References and links do not belong on the AFD, they belong on the article if and only if they are reliable. You're simply flooding the AFD, making it unreadable, and arguing the same stuff again and again and again. That's not a discussion, its bullying (✉→BWilkins←✎) 22:00, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I have REMOVED your copy of the AFD discussion from this page: copying others responses without full attribution is improper. There are ways to transclude discussions, but that's NOT an appropriate use of your user talkpage (✉→BWilkins←✎) 22:03, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm a bit concerned by edits such as this one [1]. You may wish to review our policy on neutrality. Articles must be neutral in both tone and content, and "vital trio", "hottest Jazz (sic) musicians", and "...make it a true must listen" are very far from neutral.

I noticed that in at least one of your articles on Norwegan musicians (Thomas T. Dahl) you describe the subject as a "pedagog". I've seen other editors writing on Scandinavian musicians using similar terminology. I thought I should mention that in English pedagogue has a strongly negative connotation: a music pedagogue would be something like a teacher bashing out the beat and ensuring that the student never ever deviated from it - I'm sure that is not what you are meaning! Better to say "music teacher" or "music educator". AllyD (talk) 09:51, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article Vidar Busk has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Potentially non-notable, I couldn't find enough stuff online in my searching to meet notability.. Seems like this may be an instance of "inherited" notability.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

I see you have been adding infoboxes to several musician articles recently. That's good, but you're also consistently making several errors. In particular:

• Attempting to include lines that don't actually exist in the musical artist infobox (such as "field", "workplaces", and "sprouse"). If you look at {{Infobox musical artist}}, you will find a list of what information can be included in this infobox, as well as a blank form that can be easily copied and pasted.
• Sometimes using incorrect values for the "background" line. (The one I noticed coming up several times was "temporary_instrumentalist".) A list of allowed values for "background" is also at {{Infobox musical artist}}.
• Using the {{Flag}} template when mentioning the artist's country of birth. WP:INFOBOXFLAG explains why we don't do this.

Please bear these in mind, and try to avoid making these errors in future. — Paul A (talk) 03:40, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am a little WP:WikiGnome, who goes around tidying things up.
I notice that you have been adding a lot of flag icons into infoboxes. The policy on this is WP:Manual_of_Style/Icons#Avoid_flag_icons_in_infoboxes which says that "flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field".
I have removed those flags that I have found, but it would help me if you did not add any more. Thanks Arjayay (talk) 17:43, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Me again I'm afraid. As well as removing flags, I also clean up spelling mistakes beginning with R.
I note you have been using the words recide and reciding, with a C; they are actually reside and residing with an S.
Despite the statement on your user page, your English is extremely good, so I hope you don't mind me pointing out this very tiny slip.

You have changed a lot of jazz project tags in biographies to Top importance and 'A' class. 'A' class is not used by the project and is in any case indicative of an article that is close to being of Featured Article quality; see Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Assessment. Top importance is for people of critical importance in jazz history (as a reference, Keith Jarrett is only High). I ask that you change the importance labels to ones that are more realistic (use the table at Wikipedia:WikiProject Jazz as a guide if required), and that you change all of the 'A' class articles either back to what they were before, or to a closer match to established requirements. I don't want to undo your edits completely, as there are some useful changes there, but will if necessary to avoid having to filter out the good from the inappropriate across those 11 'A' articles.

Hi, I'm Sulfurboy. Knuand, thanks for creating Jørgen Træen!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. 4

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Sulfurboy (talk) 01:17, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some of your talk page edits, such as [2], have changed living=no to living=yes on biographies of dead poeple. This may cause confusion. --Racklever (talk) 08:05, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please note the spelling of Hedmark (not Hedemark). This has caused the rogue category Category:Hedemark being created and subsequent depopulation. Arsenikk ^(talk) 11:25, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

• dates
• years
• commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
• common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

Thanks and my best wishes.

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

• dates
• years
• commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
• common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

(This even applies to infoboxes.)

Thanks, and my best wishes.

Hi, if you're creating any more infoboxes, could you please avoid "&"? It's discouraged in most English-language contexts. A comma is preferable here. Tony (talk) 05:07, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hei Knuand. Hyggelig at du har laget en engelsk wiki side på meg. Men den inneholder noen faktafeil. Jeg er ikke født i Haugesund. Jeg ble født i Bergen og vokste opp i Skudeneshavn på Karmøy. Jeg har ikke spilt med Trondheim Jazzorkester (med unntak av ét tilfelle hvor jeg vikarierte for Nils Olav Johansen), og har dermed ikke jobbet med Chick Corea eller Pat Metheny. Ellers ser det greit ut. Jeg har forsøkt å endre på disse tingene. Den norske wikisiden er mer up to date: https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_T._Dahl

Takk

mvh
