Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.
Here are some tips to help you get started:
- To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
- Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
- If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
- Follow the Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset
- Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
- Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
- Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!
Good luck!
Howdy Sweden!
Another fellow Swede, may I say: Välkommen! (I noticed you've been here a while, but I haven't seen you before.) I see we partially share interests, and hope you will be contributing where we lack information, which is for instance:
- Industrialization of Sweden, which is the last part of the History of Sweden series, meant to cover the 20th century, is a stub. Is this something you're willing to work on?
- Swedish Army, Swedish Navy, Swedish Air Force are not exactly stubs, but could use more information.
- Commander-in-Chief of the Swedish Armed Forces, a short article I wrote, perhaps needs some brush-up, and if you're able to, please add biographies of the various incumbents.
- Naval officer ranks is a comparison between different countries, there should also be Army officer ranks and Air force officer ranks, but aren't yet. I've promised to do it, but I wouldn't be upset if you beat me to it. =) (There is a good reference link in the naval article.)
This is not to say that I want or demand you specifically to contribute here, it's just a selection of articles that you might want to improve, if you find yourself idle on a rainy day and don't know what to work on. If it'll ever rain again, that is. Cheers, Jao 12:43, Aug 13, 2004 (UTC)
As for the translation, I think when it is easy to translate (Westrobothnia Regiment etc), there's no real reason not to do so. I appreciate that there might be more difficult cases, and that partial translation would result in inconsistent namings. Perhaps you should ask User:Mic about this, he usually has ideas when it comes to namings of Swedish matters. -- Jao 17:44, Aug 13, 2004 (UTC)
Hej
Du skulle inte kunna tänka dig att bidra med din utmärkta lista över Svenska regementen till den svenska WP:n? När jag researchade lite på google för att skriva om ett svenskt regemente upptäckte att jag Du har lagt upp en mycket bättre lista här än motsvarande som finns på sv:...

Wikipedia:Naming conventions (military units)
Johan, you made some relevant comments earlier at Talk:List of German divisions in WWII, so I wanted to call your attention to the new draft Wikipedia:Naming conventions (military units) page, which you may also wish to comment on. — B.Bryant 00:13, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for contacting me. As I am not only planning to help you on the infinite amount of work with the German divisions, I am at the moment creating articles for all Swedish regiments that has ever existed, and naming conventions are hard to follow, when strange and complicated unit names come up, like Queen Dowager's Life Guard Regiment in Pomerania or Tavastia, Viborg and Nyslott County Third Man Foot Regiment. :) I will try to contribute and help you with the conventions page. --Elisson 14:10, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Football infobox
Hi, I've started to expand the Swedish football articles and would like to suggest an improvement to the infobox. How about adding a place for the logo, which would make things look neater than they do currently when adding a logo to a page? -Elisson 00:21, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Almost all football club logos aren't avaliable under a free license, so many football club pages don't have this image. Many of course do, under fair use, but if we were to implement a place to insert the image, it would have to not disrupt the existing boxes, which is a bit trickier. A generic optional image box might be useful as it could contain a free image representing the club such as a photo of the stadium. ed g2s • talk 01:26, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- AFAIK, the problem with logo's not available under free use seems to only affect English clubs as hqfl.dk has logos for almost every other country in the world. And I do believe that the English logos can be acquired in other ways. As you say, for clubs with no logo available, just adding a picture relating to the club will do fine. --Elisson 10:30, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Not quite, all the logos will be copyrighted by each club, regardless of whether they have complained to HQFL about them using them. Most clubs do not release the logo under free use so as to prevent the sale of non-official merchandise. ed g2s • talk 12:27, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Of course, I meant fair and not free use. Sorry for that. :) --Elisson 12:32, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Edit, I've created a test template at Template:Football_club_infobox/badge and it seems to work fine even for clubs without any badge available. Just add badge = | and there will be no noticeable difference between this template and the old. For clubs with logo, just add the usual image link and it works fine. See IFK Göteborg for infobox with badge, Gefle IF for infobox without badge. --Elisson 11:12, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Width regards to your mockup, this is exactly the point, you have to add badge = | to every box before you make that edit. So if you want to do this, you'll have to go through every club that uses it (Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Football_club_infobox, 421 at the last count), and add in the badge, or the empty tag. P.S. if you do do it, could you use the more generic "image" as the variable, not "badge". ed g2s • talk 12:31, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I can change it, it will take some time, but I'll do it. Should we move the infobox/badge template over to to the regular infobox template? --Elisson 13:12, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Together with the changes made by Carioca, all pages (hopefully, I've gone through the whole list but I might have missed a few pages, although I don't think so) using the template have now been changed, and I've also changed the template itself. Now I'll start going through badges and fixing them. --Elisson 12:19, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
- Hi, I updated all the teams listed below with image = |:
Paysandu Sport Club - Guarani Futebol Clube - Galicia Esporte Clube - Coritiba Foot Ball Club - Associação Atlética Ponte Preta - Brasiliense Futebol Clube - Figueirense Futebol Clube - Goiás Esporte Clube - Esporte Clube Juventude - Olimpia Asunción - Esporte Clube Santo André - Criciúma Esporte Clube - Associação Portuguesa de Desportos - Ipatinga Futebol Clube - Sociedade Esportiva do Gama - Sociedade Esportiva e Recreativa Caxias do Sul - Clube de Regatas Brasil - Vila Nova Futebol Clube - Ceará Sporting Club - Avaí Futebol Clube - Paulista Futebol Clube - Marília Atlético Clube - Ituano Sociedade Civil de Futebol Ltda - América Football Club - Americano Futebol Clube - Associação Desportiva Cabofriense - Bangu Atlético Clube - Volta Redonda Futebol Clube - GIF Sundsvall - Associação Atlética Portuguesa (RJ) - Friburguense Atlético Clube - Madureira Esporte Clube - Olaria Atlético Clube - Campo Grande Atlético Clube
I hope that this will help you, Elisson and Ed g2s --Carioca 19:03, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks! --Elisson 10:53, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
Not completely related to this, but still close enough, I've edited the Template:Hqfl logos so that it should put the image pages which use the template in a separate category (Category:HQFL Logos) and not the usual logos category but it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong? Is there somo special syntax to be included on the category page or is my browser just not updating the page correctly? --Elisson 17:10, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
I think every page has to be purged for it to tell the Category that it is now a member, effectively it's a bug in the software. ed g2s • talk 17:19, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- Okay, that's not good. :) You're right, removing and adding the tag will fix it. I'll just have to do that whenever I stumble upon an old logo. I think having the HQFL logos in a separate category will ease up work for anyone searching for already uploaded badges. Good or bad idea? --Elisson 17:25, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
What a lovely piece of work!
Hey Johan! Although my brother used to live in Sweden (Karlstad) and I once visited your country (1998 for a negatively unforgetable football-match Chelsea-VfB Stuttgart), I'm not able to say something more in swedish like: jäg älsger dir, and I'm convinced, I wrote it absolutely wrong. So, I do have to ask you something in english not with my poor swedish.
As we (some Football-maniacs from Germany, Austria and Switzerland) try to improve the content of our Football articles (), we were editing the Football Kits. We don't know about the worldwide connections of wikipedia and if we just can copy "your" contets/images, so I wanted to ask you, if you could share the kits you collected in the wikipedia-Common Place. Dankeschön aus Deutschland! --Heinz Van Eugen (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Heinz_Van_Eugen)
- Hi, not all of the kits are created by me, but I guess all of them are marked as GNU, so I guess I speak for all the creators when I say natürlich! Although I haven't got the time to do the work of re-uploading them at commons. But please, go ahead and do so if you wish. :) -- Elisson | Talk 18:48, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
- Tysend Tak (or something like that!) I'm gonna upload them in the next days. Heinz Van Eugen (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Heinz_Van_Eugen)
Thank you for your support
Thank you for supporting my candidacy for administrator. Kelly Martin 14:45, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
- No prob, you seem like a good Wikipedian, so... :) -- Elisson | Talk 15:23, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Association football portal
I am willing to help in any way needed with the soccer portal. Phoenix2 20:53, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Hi, and thanks! I mainly want people to help me with keeping the "news and events" up to date, changing the "did you know" once in a while, and also changing the featured article and picture maybe twice a month, or something (of course more often later on if the portal grows and becomes more active). If you would help on doing that, I'd be very grateful! -- Elisson | Talk 20:59, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Yes...I will keep all further discussions about the portal on it's talk page. Phoenix2 21:49, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hello
Hello Elisson :) I came to keep you company so that you don't get lonely.
So...how's life? I read your welcome message on your userpage. I'm not sure why, but welcome messages in general bother me. I feel like somebody just slapped a boilerplate on my page. Some welcome messages are condescending also. Lucky for me, I never got welcomed to wikipedia, and that's the way I like it :D.
I got "welcomed" to wikinews recently. People somehow assume that if you have a blank talk page that makes you a newbie. Well, I already knew how things worked, seeing as I first discovered wikinews in December 2004...
People should probably look at the date of a users' first contribution before welcoming them- ah well, they're just trying to help :) Maybe I'm just an angry person. I'm not mad at them I guess, or at least I shouldn't be. Now I feel like a jerk...
Speaking about wikinews, I don't personally find it that useful. Typically, the most useful stories on wikinews are stories with original reporting (there should be more of those). There's no point in reading a summary of CNN- especially if it appears hours later.
Another problem with the wiki model when reporting news is that I like to read a story once, and only once. I don't want to have to keep on checking back on the page to see the latest developments. Maybe pages on wikinews should be protected before actually being published? Oh well, wikinews is new, and it's still in beta. Maybe after it has time to grow, it'll be truly valuble...or maybe it'll always suck ;) Or maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about.
One huge problem is that wikinews will never have the resources that other large news organizations have. Anyhow, it was nice talking to you, see you around! -Frazzydee|✍ 17:02, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
