message: I am a resident of Kristiansand, and was raised in Vennesla, but I have never heard the term "Greater Kristiansand" ("Stor-Kristiansand") used to refer to the municipalities of Kristiansand, Songdalen, Søgne and Vennesla. Therefore, I removed that part. --SAB 19:00, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: Kristiansand is the 5th largest city in Norway. I have checked the refrence at Statistics Norway (...). 
By going thgroug tables 3 - 23 titled Population, by sex, age and municipality. 1 January 2007, you will se that these are the 6 largest municipalities:
# Oslo (548 617)
# Bergen (244 620)
# Trondheim( 161 730)
# Stavanger (117 315)
# Bærum (106 932)
# Kristiansand (77 840)
Since Bærum is not a city, this makes Kristiansand number 5.

message: I have just added captions and in one case, the image of the New Varodd Bridge in the articles on the two bridges. I see in this article an image of a bridge over a river, while the Varodd bridges are said to be over a fjord. Which is correct? Should this article mention the bridges for E18? Norwegians are in a better position than I am to make the appropriate updates. --DThomsen8 (talk) 14:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for all that information about bridges in Kristiansand. I will look for the reason I asked about those bridges tomorrow.  Good work on posting a talk page message to let me know about this information. --DThomsen8 (talk) 03:32, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I have just updated the population numbers for the area (they were years old) to the numbers for last month, and wanted to add a reference to verify the numbers, but unfortunately I was not able to figure out how to do it, and don't have the time now to continue trying. So I'm hoping that PLEASE, could somebody else help me out and add the reference for me? It is supposed to be inserted into the text quoted below which is found at the very top of the article (after the population number 82,562, where I have inserted "<B>(REFERENCE HERE)</B>"),:
"Kristiansand (help·info)[2] (formerly "Christianssand") is a city, municipality and the county capital of Vest-Agder county in Southern Norway. Kristiansand municipality is the 5th largest in Norway with a population of 82,562 <B>(REFERENCE HERE)</B> as of 1 April 2011.
The reference I wanted to be added, is from Statistics Norway (Statistisk Sentralbyrå), their quarterly population statistics overview in <B>ENGLISH, TITLED "Rapidly Heading for 5 Million"</B>, at: 
http://www.ssb.no/english/subjects/02/02/folkendrkv_en/
Same article in Norwegian (NN/Nynorsk), titled: "Med raske skritt mot 5 millionar" is at: 
http://www.ssb.no/vis/emner/02/02/folkendrkv/art-2011-05-19-01.html
Thanks a lot for your help! :)

message: Just wanted to point out an obvious mistake in the introduction: 
"Kristiansand (..) population of 85,681 as of 1 January 2014. The Kristiansand urban area, entirely located in the municipality, had a population of 154,346 on 1 January 2013"
I'm asked to believe that the urban area had a far greater population in 2013 than the municipality that contains it one year later. Since I know Kristiansand population is increasing, and certainly not collapsing at would have to be the case were the numbers accurate, I can safely conclude this is dead wrong.
It may be as simple as a mistype; it seems just about plausible to me that the correct UA population number should be 54,346. But the fact that a mistake of this magnitude apparently went undetected for as long as it has causes me to seriously doubt the fact-checking standards of WP editors (though I realize it is probably quite variable depending on subject matter).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.203.21.218 (talk) 09:36, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
