Talk:Varanger Peninsula

message: I've been intrigued by the abandoned houses on the coast. I was told by my grandfather that the exodus was on account of the lure of the big city. Is that the case, or are other factors involved? It would be interesting to know how many, or what percent of coastal houses are abandoned.
What happens to the abandoned houses? They can't be sold? They are maintained, but not lived in?
Also, the photo in this article has two cars in it. Presumably people wouldn't abandon cars -- when they could be easily enough be sold. So is this a partially abandoned village?

Talk:The Swoose

message: Anyone knows what markings are the museum going to restore on The Swoose? I hope they restore the pre-war roundels and stripes while serving in the Philippines back in 1941 as I don't think any existing B-17 today possess pre-war markings. Wolcott (talk) 18:10, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I would guess that it will depend on how they restore it - with an E birdcage nose, or the later F plexi that it carried as a command transport - that will determine which markings are appropriate.  I agree with you, it would be nice to have at least one pre-war marked Fortress.  I have no personal knowledge of the NMUSAF plans, however. Mark Sublette (talk) 00:41, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Wallonie Libre

message: "Throughout history, the Free Wallonia movement has been known by far as the only true Wallingant organization in Belgium." I think this sentence is POV as there are other Wallingant movements, so to call this one the "only true" Wallingant organisation is in my view clearly POV. A more neutral thing to say would be "the largest Wallingant organisation", provided there are reliable sources confirming that.--Ganchelkas 09:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Technically the series is still in progress, and according to the page here: History_of_rugby_union_matches_between_New_Zealand_and_South_Africa a drawn series would be decided on aggregate (unlike say the Bledisloe cup rules where a drawn series leaves the cup with the holder.)

message: The Government section with municipal election results almost consistently uses the wrong year ranges. Norwegian elections are in September, and take effect almost immediately. Therefore the council periods and mayor periods should start in the election year, not the following year.

He attempted to escape with Charriere on a bag of coconuts as a raft. He and Charriere made it all the way to Venezuela but Louis Dega died in quicksand but Charriere survived and made it to freedom.
The above section is completely wrong - Louis Dega was never part of Charriere's escape attempts. The character who escaped from Devil's Island along with Charriere was called Sylvain. There are also numerous other errors in the article whihc will be corrected. --Bobogoat 10:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Saint-Martin-d'Ardèche

message: St. Martin D'Ardeche has a number of successful local wine growers which should be mentioned and who have gained notoriety more recently. 
Dumas is one of the two and has a tasting cave nearby the church. The other escapes me.
Also worth adding is Dada/Surrealist artist Max Ernst hid out in Ardeche in the hills in the guarrigue. The house he lived in still has sculptures built into the walls showing lifesize human/animal hybrids. The house can be found headed into the Guarrigue from town - about 1km from the village center. There are still a few artist communities that reverberate his presence.
A mosaic bat in front of the church square was created in his honor - it's a bright 2m diameter bat with rust and earth tone reds on the ground close to the city center.

:I'm not an admin, and therefore I can't put the old page back. But I can tell you why it was deleted and it was because it looked more like an advertising than a Wikipedia article. Furthermore, there were no other articles linking to it (except for footnotes and a similar, advertising-looking page), rendering its notability dubious.
:It doesn't matter if the author wasn't informed - the information in Wikipedia should come from secondary sources, not primary ones. Wikipedia wants to give knowledge, and if everybody would just boast their own ideas, it wouldn't be really reliable.
:The process used to delete the page was to put up a proposal for deletion. Five days passed without any user objecting to it. That also means that nobody was interested in the subject, and therefore it has no reason to be in Wikipedia. Another thing Wikipedia is not is a dump of information not interesting.
:I'm not saying that it is a bad book - it may be great, but it needs to be interesting to others to belong to Wikipedia. And frankly, I already think it looks more like an advertising than an article. Mikael Häggström 18:38, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just wanted to make clear the distinction between advertising and notability by this example: "Tom, Dick and Harry say the pyramids are great" is advertising. "The pyramids are more than 5000 years old" is notability. Notability speaks for itself. The subject of this article needs to be expressed more like the second example than the first one to avoid being deleted again. I'm not saying that Steven Pinker has no credentials, but that's not the point. Wikipedia holds consensus over credentials. However, for facts hard to form a consensus without research, credentials matter in the research. For the pyramid example, "Tom, Dick and Harry say the pyramids are great" doesn't really matter for Wikipedians. On the other hand, "Tom, Dick and Harry estimated the pyramids to be 5000 years old" matter much. Furthermore, here the credentials play a role, because if Tom, Dick and Harry are complete amateurs, the result would be taken less seriusly Mikael Häggström 08:40, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
