== Thanks ==

Just a note to thank you for calling for answers to the complaints filed by me and others against the arbitrators. It seems that we will get an answer now, thanks to your effort. ''Mange takk'', [[User:Shorne|Shorne]] 12:21, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

:''Ingen årsak.'' (Don't mention it.) Although I second [[User talk:Shorne#Some unsolicited advice|Leif's comment]] that you may be hurting your own case, there is all reason to speed up the handling of it. Just for the record I take no party &mdash; if you are right, serious action; if you are wrong, serious action, too &mdash; but since the case may harm the system itself it should really be expedited. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] 13:23, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

::''Ja, vi er enige.'' [[User:Shorne|Shorne]] 16:56, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Any development? --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] 20:44, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

:I haven't heard a word from anyone, no. Have you? [[User:Shorne|Shorne]] 01:22, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

::Nope. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] 17:52, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

== Infoboxes ==

Thank you for your comments about the infoboxes.  As the person who made all of them, I came to check my watchlist to see them all systematically deleted after my hours of work.  I have commented on Gzornenplatz's talk page asking him for the reasons behind his change, and warning him taht if he cannot justify his actions, I will revert all of the pages to the versions with the infoboxes. I'll keep you posted on the situation if you'd like. [[User:PZFUN|Páll]] 00:15, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

:Thanks, I'd like to be updated if it's not too much trouble. I noticed the war over the [[:Template:Norway infobox|Norway infobox]] and assumed there would be similar situations elsewhere. I haven't made up my mind yet if I prefer the infoboxes or not (I probably do), but an edit war is bad anyhow. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] 00:29, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi, there's a new Solution E that's been proposed for the country infoboxes; I've changed my vote from the Solution D that I proposed, earlier.  The new option, proposed by [[User:Zocky]], transcludes a subpage instead of using the template mechanism for this.
See: [[Nepal]]'s infobox is implemented at [[Nepal/infobox]] using [[Template:Infobox_Country]]; [[Tuvalu]]'s is implemented at [[Tuvalu/infobox]] as a wiki table.

Discussion is at: [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Countries]]
voting: [[Wikipedia:Country_infobox_vote]]

Thanks. &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Davenbelle|Davenbelle]] 02:46, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)

:I selected (C) because it is simpler than (A), but changes of country information are still visible in the country article history. The latter is not the case with (E). Thank you anyway. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] 18:24, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

::Understood. The all-together approach seems to be most people's issue; to me, the large block of non-wiki text up front is more annoying. Changing to a template only changes the nature of this up-front clutter and only reduces the amount of it slightly. I would think that the off-putting effect of this on non-technical people would be more compelling. &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Davenbelle|Davenbelle]] 22:53, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)

==Voting for standardization==

Hi. I'm [[User:Oo64eva|oo64eva]]. We're holding a vote [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Isotopes/Vote|here]] to standardize the table and color template.  If you have any questions leave a message on my talk page or on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Isotopes|project talk page]]. Spread the word about the vote, it ends May 12th at 3:40 UTC. &mdash; <font color="#cc0000">''oo64eva (Alex)'' </font><sup>([[User: oo64eva|U]] | [[User_talk:Oo64eva|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/Oo64eva|C]])</sup> @  04:22, May 9, 2005 (UTC)

==Counties of Norway==

Wikipedia has very specific rules for the application of categories. Specifically, [[:Category:Counties of Norway]] is already a subcategory of [[:Category:Norway]], so an article ''cannot'' be simultaneously filed in both categories. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] 00:08, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

OK, I didn't know that &ndash; and I guess many with me. Those rules may not always be practical, I think, but I'll leave it to that. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] [[User talk:Eddideigel|<small>(Talk)</small>]] 08:22, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

==The Geography of Nynorsk==

I apologise that I wrote in the [[Nynorsk]] entry that Nynorsk was more common to the northwest of Norway. My intention, not totally expressed in what I wrote, was for the reader in English to understand the roots of Nynorsk per Aasen's work and that it is more rural while Bokmål is more urban. On second review of what I wrote, you are right that it was (unintentionally) misleading and I do apologise and it has been amended. I would very much like to see the Nynorsk entry greatly expanded and ask you to work with me on that if you like.--[[User:Oceanbourne|Mike]] 07:01, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

No problem. See [[Talk:Nynorsk]]. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] [[User talk:Eddideigel|<small>(Talk)</small>]] 21:56, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

==The flag of Greater Melbourne==

The flag is in fact a Nordic cross if you check. I wondered if it really was a Nordic cross myself so I quicly measured it on my screen and the vertical part of the cross is shifted slightly to the hoist side (there is about 5mm difference) this makes it a nordic cross.  :)[[User:Inge|Inge]] 23:17, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

:Measuring on screen is not very accurate. And of course it depends on the quality of the image file itself. I suggest taking such information from verifiable text sources, not measuring images. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] [[User talk:Eddideigel|<small>(Talk)</small>]] 23:39, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes. It's also listed [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_flags_by_design#Scandinavian_cross here], but that really doesn't make it any better. [[User:Inge|Inge]] 23:45, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

:Not much, no. But you could ask about the source from the person who listed it there. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] [[User talk:Eddideigel|<small>(Talk)</small>]] 23:51, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/au-ns-sy.html Here] FOTW has a bit about the Greater Sydney flag which has the same design principles as the Greater Melbourne flag. It states that the cross is offset "to create a 1:2 ratio flag and a 1:2 canton" in order to make the ship look better etc. So I don't know...the cross is offset, but it really isn't in the spirit of a Nordic cross :) [[User:Inge|Inge]] 00:00, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

:Doesn't seem the spirit, no. It even states that the intention is to make it look centered. However, after never setting foot in FOTW before, I have grown very sceptic towards it and its mirrors from just a few lookups today. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] [[User talk:Eddideigel|<small>(Talk)</small>]] 00:19, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

They include everything and anything. And it is very difficult to know what to trust when it comes to the unofficial flags. But at least the ones about official flags like [http://www.fotw.net/flags/no.html this one] and [http://www.fotw.net/flags/no-l0001.html this one] about Norway are very comprehensive and trustworthy. [[User:Inge|Inge]] 00:31, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

:In that case I suggest references to FOTW for official flags, but not for unofficial ones. Of course one may use FOTW to locate other sources, but I don't think it should be referenced itself for the unofficial flags. <br> By the way, at [[Talk:Gallery of flags by design#Disputed listings]] I have proposed that the flags of Greatern Melbourne and the Hong Kong Baptists should be removed from the section on Scandinavian crosses. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] [[User talk:Eddideigel|<small>(Talk)</small>]] 00:52, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer. — [[User:Staatenloser|Staatenloser]] 16:06, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

What does this one think of the movement? --[[User:Kin Khan|Kin Khan]] 02:03, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

== Thanks.... ==

....for the translation of the subtitles and your friendly words; --[[User:Hesse1309|Hesse1309]] 17:39, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I gladly help promoting [[:commons:Norge|Norway]] to a bigger audience. Hope you didn't find the removal of the credits too harsh. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 18:01, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

== Region? ==

We need to review the terms used for various types of regions of [[Norway]], esp. the current erroneous term "landscape", but also ''landsdel'' and ''tettsted''. See for instance [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Norway#.22Landscape.22]]. -- [[User:Egil|Egil]] 16:10, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

== Periodic Table ==

[[Template:Element]] looks great, and the coding for [[Template:Periodic_table]] sure looks better now too. [[Template_talk:Element]] says it's still in testing and shouldn't be used in namespace articles yet.  Is this still true? If not, please remove this warning from the talk page. [[User:Flying Jazz|Flying Jazz]] 02:17, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks in all respects. Now, I had almost forgotten about the {{tl|element}} template. Please note that it's intended for element articles and not related to {{tl|element cell}}, the template used in the [[Periodic table (standard)]]. It has been tested, but never intoduced in namespace, and not developed in pace with the element articles. Other templates rule the namespace &mdash; see the lengthy discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Elements/Archive 3#Successful example of the use of a single template|WikiProject Elements]], and the collection of templates at [[Special:Allpages/Template:Elementbox]] with instructions at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements#Elementbox infobox templates]]. Although not very precise I think the warning can remain for the time being. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 03:01, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

== Whuh? ==

I still need help. What part of that template is what I want and what isn't? It's all very confuzzling. Please to be helping me isolate one square so with which I can build upon. --[[User:Homfrog|Homfrog]] 14:35, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

{| align="right" style="margin:0.5em 0.5em 1em 1em;"
| {{element cell|2|Helium|He| |Gas|Noble gases|Primordial}}
|}
In the [[Periodic table (standard)]] the table framework is outlined using wiki table format, starting with <nowiki>{| and ending with |}. Between these delimiters, rows start with |- and cells start with | or ! (the last causing bold font).</nowiki> Inside the table cells, in this case, the data is written using another template, namely [[Template:Element cell]], which sets up the data with colours and borders. See example to the right. The code of that cell is:
:<code><nowiki>| {{element cell|2|Helium|He| |Gas|Noble gases|Primordial}}</nowiki></code>
Instead of using the element cell template, we could have written the following code:
:<code>| title="Noble gases; Primordial; Gas" style="text-align:center; color:red; background:<nowiki>#</nowiki>c0ffff; border:1px solid black;" | 2 <nowiki><br> [[Helium|He]]</nowiki></code>
So the latter part is perhaps what examplifies a table cell. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 17:00, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanx! You earn your vanilla ''{french accent}'' crossiant! ''{english}''  And now I'll go do something. Bye. [[User:Homfrog|Homfrog]] 21:51, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

== Election-table2 ==

I like the new template you made. I will use it instead of election-table in future. [[User:Electionworld|Electionworld]] 19:08, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Glad you like it. But as you can see, {{tl|election-table2}} is basically a copy of {{tl|election-table}} &ndash; only with text-align:right and without the leading row. I really hate repetition of attributes, so when I can put them in a header I'm happy. :) Hope you find the [[Template talk:election-table2|instructions]] useful, too. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 23:32, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

The template has further developed, I now use {{tl|electiontable}}. [[User:Electionworld|Electionworld]] = [[User:Wilfried Derksen|Wilfried]] <small>([[User talk:Electionworld|talk]]</small> 21:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

It looks fine. Remember to include an [[Template talk:electiontable|instruction page]]. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 00:23, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

== Progress Party ==

Heisann,

thanks for mediating on the [[Progress Party (Norway)|Progress Party]] page. I was wondering whether you could comment on the talk page (Heptor has not replied yet). I pointed out 4 points, maybe you can elaborate on what you think of those?

"We snakes", --[[User:Orzetto|Orzetto]] 18:57, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Prego. However, I'd rather not comment before both sides have presented their views. Hope that's OK with you. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 22:19, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

== Thank you :) ==

Jordskjelv

Anonymous (IP) users are most suspicious. Next in line are registered users without a user page, i.e. red link on the user name. Personally I don't pay attention to anonymous edits that cancel each other, but registered edits that cancel each other are different. Especially malicious edits. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 02:42, 18 February 2006 (UTC) <br> ''<small>PS: You may sign and date your comment automatically with 4 tildes like <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></small>''

== Image ==

Would it be okay for me to upload a special one image of my own? Like say, of how I depict myself? Thanks, [[User:Homfrog|Homfrog]] 00:42, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I guess so, if it fits one of the image licenses listed at the upload page. If you have made the image yourself, you may for instance choose "GFDL (self made)". It is recommended that material on your user page should be related to Wikipedia or your work at Wikipedia, but I think the interpretation of this is quite wide. See [[Wikipedia:User page]] for more details. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 01:39, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

<span style="color:blue;">Blue...</span> eh... <span style="color:#0000FF;">0000FF...?</span> Probably not. Perhaps [[common.css]] will shine some light on the riddle. If it doesn't, you may extinguish your thirst at the [[WP:VPT|village pump]]. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 02:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

== Non-proliferation and Norway ==

I've an interest in nuclear policy, hence being drawn to that (that and noting Leifern's POV editing there).  I suspect there is much more to the politicians' acts and policies, but that is actually an interesting story, and seems to me worth a very small mention.  It is a pity it was stuck on the stubborn desire to denigrate that Leifern alo seems to have for the main subject of the article.  And me.  And Geni...  Shall we see if whoever put the original entry into it ha a view, or someone else from outside?  [[User:Midgley|Midgley]] 00:01, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

For some years after WWII Norway exported supplementary, non-fissile materials to certain countries, and from time to time there has been some debate on whether or not to allow allied vessels carrying nuclear reactors or weapons in Norwegian waters. However, I don't think Norwegian policy on nuclear technology has changed significantly for several decades. At least I can't recall any shifts in policy between the 1980's and the 70's or 90's. So that part would probably have to go. As to name calling I will not have it on my page, whoever it is. I welcome factual disputes, but no personal attacks please. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 02:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

: Sorry about that. It was a misunderstanding of how the popup tools works.  I was going back and removing link spam from a bunch of pages (some of it had been added quite awhile ago).  I'd have an old diff open, and clicked "edit" from the popups tool, assuming that it would edit from the latest revision; rather, it was editing from one of the old diffs.

== Userbox Help ==

Back again. Anyways. One of my userboxes is mis-aligned. Between the color orange and the District of Columbia. Could you fix it? Thanks. --[[User:Homfrog|Homfrog]] 13:19, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I think there are too many boxes and too many types of boxes. Boxes of different types don't necessarily mix well, especially if the heights or widths are different. It might help if you sort the boxes by themes and/or sizes. You may also insert some <code><nowiki><br clear="all"></nowiki></code> if you want any hard line breaks. I made some tests on your page while checking the situation, but I didn't try to fix the alignment problem. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 15:56, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

You'll be interested in [[User talk:Grin#Erbium|this talk]] re the 'bot attacks' on [[erbium]]. So a stub at [[no:erbium]] with a correct interlanguage link from [[en:erbium]] might help to fix things. Start working! :) [[User:Femto|Femto]] 11:39, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. (I've been out of woffice for a few days.) I might contribute to a stub at [[:no:erbium]], but it's no solution to the real problem.

== Template:Element ==

I recently noticed how many templates it takes to create an infobox for a single element, and it could be reduced to one with the proper code. I saw that you began to create [[:Template:Element]] to try to combine all the templates currently being used. Are you still actively working on that endeavor? --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] 22:57, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

:See also my comments at [[Template talk:Elementbox header#Bug report]]. No opposition from me, now that we have parser functions. [[User:Femto|Femto]] 12:37, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

:While working on element templates at nn: and no: I looked for ideas at en: and other places and found a multitude of templates. I created a single template [[:nn:Template:Grunnstoff|at nn:]] that was translated [[:Template:Element|to en:]] and tested on a [[User:Eddideigel/Fantasticum|small scale]], but it was only implemented at nn: and not developed further at en:. At the time there was some debate on ease of use of single templates versus form and function of multiple templates, but now I'm not sure if the user friendliness was that different after all. Anyway, the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements|Elements WikiProject]] takes care of business and I'm not worried about the templates. Sorry for my late response.

A "{{[[Template:prod|prod]]}}" template has been added to the article [[Flag of Lewis]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion|criteria for inclusion]], and the deletion notice explains why (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia's deletion policy]]).  You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the <code><nowiki>{{dated prod}}</nowiki></code> notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on [[Talk:Flag of Lewis|its talk page]]. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion process]], the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]] or it can be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion]], where it may be deleted if [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] to delete is reached. [[User:Morrismaciver|MRM]] 20:14, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

My contribution was actually a tag about lack of reference and possible inaccuracy, so I have no comment to the deletion of the article. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 22:52, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

==Wide periodic table layout==
Any thoughts about using the inline periodic table as the default version for Wikipedia? See [[Talk:Periodic table (standard)]]. [[User:Flying Jazz|Flying Jazz]] 18:17, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

: It's probably OK. At this time I'm afraid can't tell which effect it would have, if any, so I can't comment on the actual case. I'm sorry for not replying earlier. [[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 04:00, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

== Speedy deletion of [[Template:Element cell i]] ==
A tag has been placed on [[Template:Element cell i]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#T3|section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes.

Thanks. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 03:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

== Proposed merge of isotope tables ==
As someone who has maintained [[Isotope table (complete)]] and/or [[Isotope table (divided)]] in the past, your input is needed. [[User:Greg L]] is proposing (and prematurely executing) a merge of the two tables, each about 50k, into one table of over 100k. I am opposing it, and no other editors have commented yet. Please come to [[Talk:Isotope table (complete)]] and offer your opinion. Thanks, [[User:JWB|JWB]] ([[User talk:JWB|talk]]) 00:27, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

==Merger==
Eddi: What do you think about option #3, which would keep the best of both worlds and would leave only one article? In case other options get added and the numbering gets changed, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Isotope_table_%28complete%29&oldid=192878082#Vote_regarding_isotope_table_.28complete.2Fdivided.29 here is a historical version] to show which option I’m talking about.

==FAC: List of elements by stability of isotopes==
Hey, in case you still care, there is a page started by you that is now under FLC review at [[Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of elements by stability of isotopes]].

Looks good.  A suggestion for further detail, see project page.  Note: I have not studied the whole article, so this is just a whiff among others. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 11:07, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

The table looks very nice!  But I have not considered the [[Wikipedia:Featured list criteria|FL criteria]], so there may be issues I don't know about. --[[User:Eddideigel|Eddi]] <small>([[User talk:Eddideigel|Talk]])</small> 23:44, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

== Please delete this old page ==

Hi, I noticed that you last edited [[User:Eddideigel/Fantasticum]] two years ago. It's using {{tl|Element}} which no longer exists in the form you're trying to use it in - there is another template now that reports errors if it's used incorrectly. If you could please remove the page (assuming you're no longer using it), the error would disappear from my list. Thanks!

==Unreferenced BLPs==
[[File:Information.svg|30px]] Hello Eddideigel! Thank you for your contributions. I am a [[WP:BOT|bot]] alerting you that '''1''' of the articles that you created   is tagged as an[[Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Sources| Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person]].  Please note that all biographies of living persons '''must be sourced'''. If you were to add [[WP:RELIABLE|reliable]], [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary]] [[WP:SOURCES|sources]] to this article, it would greatly help us with the current ''[[:Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs|{{PAGESINCATEGORY:All_unreferenced_BLPs}}]]'' article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{tl|unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]] for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome page]] if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{tlc|hang on}} to '''the top of [[:Template:Iso-test|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Template talk:Iso-test|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these administrators]] to request that the administrator [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or email a copy to you. <!-- Template:Db-test-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User talk:Mhiji|Mhiji]] 02:01, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
