replies: text: Ruy Lopez is on a bit of a minor rampage.  He just removed the Peninsulas category from Hafun, with the same message pasted above in the Talk, and I'm not quite sure why outside references are needed to prove that it's a peninsula. I'm going to go revert this change too.  BanyanTree 18:47, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reference 

message: Egeland made a statement that portrayed wealthy Western countries as being "stingy" in humanitarian effort, a remark that dominated media coverage for several days.
It got a lot of attention--with almost everybody taking "wealthy Western countries" to mean one particular wealthy Western country--but surely "dominated" coverage is a bit much. 
Should his other remark be added:
:NICK GRIMM: The United Nation's emergency relief coordinator Jan Egeland today acknowledged the important role being played by military helicopter crews, being provided by nations including Australia.
:JAN EGELUND: Those helicopters are worth their weight in gold now.

He directed the Norwegian facilitation of the United Nations-led peace talks leading up to ceasefire agreement between the Government of Guatemala and the Unidad Revolucionaria Nacional Guatemalteca (URNG) guerrillas signed in Oslo in 1996.

Just in case anybody wonders why we're ripping off IRIN.  It's the other way around. - BanyanTree 15:16, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Bit of creative copying by the media

message: Is it really necessary to start this article with "This article is about the Norwegian politician. For the Ylvis song, see Ylvis."? I think there's no danger of confusing the person with the song, and the song is prominently referenced elsewhere.
