Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Grab the Moment, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Voice. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

In regards to your removal of the refimprove template added to Noonie Bao's article by Hayman30, the refimprove template does not concern only the lead paragraph/lede. It concerns the whole article. There is basically no maintenance template used at the top of an article that concerns only the lead section besides Template:Lead too short, so if articles are tagged with a template, it is not referring to just the lead. I didn't restore the template, as the article appears to have adequate sourcing, but also in regards to your edit summary—it is not forbidden for lead sections to have references, especially if a contentious claim is made within the introduction and may be challenged without one present. While lead sections primarily do function as the summary of an article's contents and therefore what is in them is generally sourced in the body, they can still introduce sources if a user thinks it is prudent to do so.

I noticed that you changed the source of the music video for Ignite to this, which actually links to the music video for Alone, on Alan Walker discography. I've restored the source to Mynewsdesk's one. Thank you. Hayman30 (talk) 10:51, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for your edit to Skam (TV series). However, in the future, it would be helpful to make edits with different purposes in separate edits. That way, other editors who disagree can revert specific changes rather than every change in one edit. Just something to think about :) And while I am writing here, please use edit summaries. Not only are they a fantastic way to understand what changes were made in the revision history without needing to check every edit, but they are also just a great way to explain motivations behind ambiguous edits that others might not understand. Have a great day! LocalNet (talk) 12:13, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
Material you included in the above article appears to have been copied from two different copyright web pages. Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. Please leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions or if you think I made a mistake. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:03, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Just letting you know, I've undone your addition of Aboriginal Australian to the opening sentence of Isaiah Firebrace. It is not necessary to point out someone's race in the opening sentence of an article. Other Indigenous Australian musicians' articles (for example, Jessica Mauboy) do not point this out. This is not standard on Wikipedia, as this is tantamount to putting in the lead sentence of Oprah Winfrey: "Oprah Winfrey is an African American media proprietor", and we do not do this. Isaiah's article is already categorised with Category:Indigenous Australian musicians. Unless it is otherwise notable that he is of Indigenous Australian heritage, it does not really need to be pointed out. Ss112 15:57, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

The external music video template is for music videos only, lyrics videos and audio videos are not considered as music videos, as I was told by an experienced editor. Funny thing is, "lyrics video" redirects to music video. I have been reverted before for adding the lyrics video of Something Just Like This to the page using that template.
Just because it was done on a previous single doesn't mean the action itself is okay, we cannot assume what other editors do is correct. Thank you. Hayman30 (talk) 11:51, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
Hello, OnWikiNo. Please help expand Tired (Alan Walker song) if you can, thank you. Hayman30 (talk) 13:11, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
Instead of doing this edit, you should participate in the ongoing discussion about how they are being handled and other proposals at Talk:Eurovision Song Contest 2018. Israel edits are being considered as disruptive and vandalism at the minute, and one editor has already been blocked for making similar edits like the one you made. I'd be devastated if you fell foul of the same incident. Thanks, Wes Wolf Talk 14:47, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Even the Norwegian Wiki page states "JOWST" in all-caps is a stylisation. Surely the English Wikipedia should be consistent, no? Ss112 18:42, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
Hi I just reviewed you redirect page creation and I wonder if a more logical target would be Constitution of Norway. From what I can gather this was in fact the declaration of independence and the meeting of notables led up to this. What do you think? Domdeparis (talk) 15:52, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello. I looked through the disambiguation page named Norse and corrected a number of blatant errors and misunderstandings there, and noticed that you had added "mediaeval Norwegian" as one of the meanings of the word, which might explain a number of errors in other articles. In the English language Norse does not refer to mediaeval Norwegians but is a catch-all word for all peoples who spoke the Old Norse language, the language that was spoken by all the Germanic peoples who inhabited Scandinavia between ~800AD and ~1300AD (i.e. Danes, Swedes, Norwegians and their descendants overseas), and "East Norse" and "West Norse" that were mentioned on that page (with links that are just redirects to the correct names, "Old East Norse" and "Old West Norse", and the relevant sections on "Old Norse") were dialects of that common Scandinavian language (i.e. Old Norse), and not separate languages. "East Norse" and "West Norse" are also not names for the modern-day Scandinavian languages, not in English at least, instead those languages are classified as the East Scandinavian (Danish and Swedish) and West Scandinavian (Norwegian, Faroese, Icelandic) branches of North Germanic. Since all Germanic Scandinavians back then spoke the same language, shared the same culture and were of the same ethnic type they were all described as being Norse, regardless of which part of Scandinavia they came from, they also had a habit of mixing, particularly Danes, Norwegians and people from the southwestern part of modern day Sweden, since they sailed west (while the rest of the Swedes sailed east), so seeing a settlement or a kingdom being described as being Norse gives no clue as to which part of Scandinavia the people there came from. And in most cases they didn't care themselves either, so let's not try to claim Norse settlements/kingdoms/armies etc as being Norwegian or any other nationality, unless very reliable sources say that they without doubt were one or the other. - Tom | Thomas.W talk 18:32, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
Hello. Please think before editing. The article claims that the Kingdom of Northumbria was under Norwegian rule (which in English at least means that it was ruled by the Kingdom of Norway...), and as a source for that you add a source that says that Canute gave the Kingdom of Northumbria to a Norwegian named "Eric of Hlathir", who might have been the same person as Eric Bloodaxe, who according to that article might have been king of Norway for a while, but sources differ on that point. And even if Erik of Hlathir and Eric Bloodaxe were one and the same there's still the problem that he wasn't king of Norway and king of Northumbria at the same time, which of course means that the Kingdom of Northumbria was never under the control of the Kingdom of Norway, as claimed in the article. This is an article in an encyclopaedia, and we need good solid sources that support all content, not wild speculations, original research or syntheses of published sources. So stop. - Tom | Thomas.W talk 18:44, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi. In future, when adding singles to a Norwegian artist's page as you have done many times to Astrid S and so on, please source what you're adding, otherwise it's unsourced and other editors don't know where you're getting this information from. Singles need to be sourced as well, because often it is controversial and disputed what is and what is not a commercial single. Thanks. Ss112 14:50, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello. I have reverted your edit on List of active separatist movements in Europe since what is being discussed in Yorkshire is devolution, i.e. internal self-governance like what a number of other regions within the UK already have, not becoming and independent country. - Tom | Thomas.W talk 11:08, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I have removed Denmark from the list since Denmark and Norway were in a personal union (see Denmark and Norway in that article), i.e. two separate countries sharing the same king, just like Norway was in a personal union with Sweden between 1814 and 1905 (and I doubt you consider Norway to have been a possession of Sweden during those years...). Also see the article about Magnus the Good, which expressly states that he was King of Norway and King of Denmark, listing them as separate kingdoms. - Tom | Thomas.W talk 18:21, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
"Like Man, Norse Dublin was, nominally at least, under Norwegian suzerainty""nominally" applies to both Dublin and Mann, since it's just another way of saying that
