message: I don't like the peppering of this article with weasel words tags. I don't think the reader is corrupted if the author claims a building is a fine example of the type. Adding those tags breaks the flow of the article to little gain. To hide them you can add to your .css file
.noprint { display: none; }

thread_title: Weasel words

message: I went searching for references for some of the "Fact" tags now peppered (rigthly so!) in this article. I found several, with no problems at all. However, the vast majority of the sources are in Norwegian only. Which ain't so strange. I was just wondering, is it a problem having norwegian sources for claims in the english wikipedia ? --Eivind Kjørstad 10:15, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  So, english prefered if available in equal quality. But adding Norwegian sources for previously unsourced statements is nevertheless a worthwhile activity. Got it. Thanks. --Eivind Kjørstad 12:51, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I believe the use of borough in this article is inaccurate. The Norwegian article uses bydel.

replies: text: Well, duh, would you expect the norwegian article to use an English word? Borough is the correct word in English and should be used, not "bydel". --Aqwis 17:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Aqwis. Bring up an alternative please. Simenhjort 18:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Bydel literally means part-of-the-city so it can be translated as urban district / quarter (not this case) / borough (why not?) I live in StavangerDarkalkemy (talk) 13:53, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Borough

message: Hi. I'm attempting to de-orphan the page Bekkefaret. As I understand, Bekkefaret is a small township, located just outside Stavanger (indeed, only 3km away). Bekkefaret is also home to the Starvanger I.F. football team. Would there be room to make reference to Bekkefaret in this article, as a nearby township?  I understand if this link would feel superflous or useless, but I am looking for ways to de-orphan Bekkegaret. Thanks =) Lex Kitten 05:07, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Updates

message: Why does the table labeled "Historical populations" include the years 2020 and 2030? Since when is the future considered history? In case that might be commonplace in Norway, I checked to see if the Oslo article has such future oddities in its Historical populations table, and it does not.
I am going to remove the future years from this table and remove the question mark from the number given for 2010. Whether that number is correct or not is beyond me, but those future years do not belong in this table, nor does a question mark belong on a past year.
If someone thinks it is important to put such information in an encyclopedia, let them add another table speculating what Stavanger's population might be 10 or 20 or 100 years from now. To me personally, such speculation seems inappropriate for an encyclopedia, regardless of its source.--Jim10701 (talk) 23:16, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Historical population in 2030? 

message: These two paragraphs say the same thing.  Hey, Parrotbreath, Don't feed the parrot.
:"Stavanger is today considered the center of the oil industry in Norway and is one of Europe's energy capitals and is often called the oil capital. Forus Business Park, located on the municipal boundary between Stavanger, Sandnes and Sola, is one of the largest business parks with 2,500 companies and nearly 40,000 jobs. Scandinavia's largest company, Statoil, has its headquarters at Forus in Stavanger, and in addition, several international oil and gas companies have their Norwegian office in the city. As a result, the city is considered to be very international, with an immigrant share of 20.2%. Several state actors such as Petoro, NPD and PSA also have their head offices in Stavanger. Stavanger is also home to several institutions of higher education, where the University of Stavanger (UiS) is the largest. The University offers several PhD programs, including petroleum engineering and offshore technology. The town is also the residence of the city to Stavanger University Hospital (SUS), Western, Norwegian Petroleum Museum, International Research Institute, Rogaland Theatre, the Culinary Institute and boot camp KNM Harald."
:"The city's rapid population growth in the late 20th century was primarily a result of Norway's booming offshore oil industry. Today the oil industry is a key industry in the Stavanger region and the city is widely referred to as the Oil Capital of Norway.[5] The largest company in the Nordic region,[6] Norwegian energy company Statoil is headquartered in Stavanger. Multiple educational institutions for higher education are located in Stavanger. The largest of these is the University of Stavanger."
