Talk:Sandnes

message: How can somebody claim that Sandnes is a city???? It has no cathedral, only a small population, it's not an old place and no university = town!

By that definition, neither would Bergen (no cathedral that I can remember). Anyway, I think it is a matter of population, not a matter of what is there. Oh and Sandnes is bigger than Drammen and Skien.  --ArneHD 15:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If Bergen doesn't have a cathedral, Oslo doesn't have one either, and Trondheim is the only city in Norway. ;) There's no reason why a place can not be a city even if it doesn't have a cathedral - this is not Italy, where every tiny town has a cathedral! --Aqwis 12:56, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

message: If you start to walk from Tasta (the northernmost point of the Stavanger/Sandnes metro-area) towards the south, you may continue for 25 km without exiting the conurbation. I think that Stavanger/Sandnes absolutely should be called a Twin city, not 'almost a twin city'. Any comments or suggestions?--Simenhjort (talk) 15:16, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the text to "form a conurbation". "Conurbation" is "technical" language for an urban area with two or more centres, Stavanger and Sandnes in this case. --Aqwis (talk – contributions) 16:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wrong Location in Google Earth 

message: I guess the picture of a concrete-and-glass bus station is nice enough, but international visitors to this article would probably be more interested in seeing the old part of the city in the background a little better; maybe the waterfront, if there is a port/harbour, or main civic buildings.  Bus stations are....well, bus stations...Skookum1 (talk) 03:16, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
