Wildlife of Norway

Your Wildlife of Norway template appears to be mostly useless, as it points mostly to topics related to India. Even when edited to point to topics related to Norway, most of those topics are redlinks. Can you give a good reason why this template shouldn't be deleted?

Fauna of Norway

An article stating that there are 40,000 species of fauna in Norway is hardly encyclopedic. Do you have more to say? WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 20:30, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Fauna of Norway

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Fauna of Norway requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance 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.

Recent edits to Norway

I'm not sure why you made this series of edits to Norway (and then reintroduced those changes after I had reverted them). The edits in question change a "Note" to a "Reference" (there is a usefulness to having long explanatory notes kept separate from the general references for the article), and added a very akwardly worded comment about the area of Norway should the Svalbard and Jan Mayen areas be discounted. I will restore the explanatory note as separate from the references, and I'll attempt to clarify your comment about Svalbard and Jan Mayen.

Flag of Norway

With this edit to the Flag of Norway article, you added material that

is grammatically incorrect in itself and renders the rest of the sentence also grammatically incorrect; and
is inappropriate for the lede of the article (which should highlight only the most important ideas of the article; and
is duplicated elsewhere in the article (see the Symbolism section).

I had reverted this change once, with a full explanation in the edit summary, and you reverted back, with no explanation. I will once again remove these changes for the reasons stated above. Please discuss the matter here or on Talk:Flag of Norway before restoring such changes again. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:29, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
