Unreferenced living people articles bot

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.

The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Wikipedia:WikiProject Netherlands/Archive 3/Unreferenced BLPs<<<

If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.

Thank you.

Update: Wikipedia:WikiProject Netherlands/Archive 3/Unreferenced BLPs has been created. This list, which is updated by User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects daily, will allow your wikiproject to quickly identify unreferenced living person articles.
There maybe no or few articles on this new Unreferenced BLPs page. To increase the overall number of articles in your project with another bot, you can sign up for User:Xenobot_Mk_V#Instructions.
If you have any questions or concerns, visit User talk:DASHBot/Wikiprojects. Okip 00:27, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Bill Vander Zalm translation to Dutch needed

I was surprised on a visit to this article today that there's no Dutch translation, although there's German, French and Finnish ones; Vander Zalm is perhaps the best-known of all Dutch Canadians; I've also posted this request at Dutch Wikipedia.....also, isn't there a village or town in the Rhine Delta called "Zalm" or "Zalm-am-Zee" or something similar? It's not in Dutch Wikipedia.....Skookum1 (talk) 17:04, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Revolutionary Anti-Racist Action (RaRa)

The lead states: "'The name "RaRa" is said to also mean "Guess who I am" in Dutch'". I absolutely fail to see how "RaRa" can be construed to mean "Guess who I am" in Dutch, or how anyone can get such a weird idea. What is going on there? 80.135.34.101 (talk) 03:23, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

In the 1950's, when I was a child and the family lived in South Africa, my father (who was Dutch) taught me a game in which the players chant "Ra ra ra wie heeft de ball?". I had never been taught the meaning of "Ra ra ra", but I always udnerstood the meaning of "wie heeft de ball?". Martinvl (talk) 05:27, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
"Ra-" is the first part of the verb "raden". I have little doubt that that is where "ra" comes from. As for the first question, "RaRa" means "guess who I am" because the group's terrorist actions were a kind of a guessing game, a whodunit if you will. Hope this helps. Drmies (talk) 05:30, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
The Afrikaans word for guess is raai. (Afrikaans is derived from the colloquial Dutch that was used in South Africa in the nineteenth and early twentieth century). Martinvl (talk) 07:50, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Right. Vernacular Dutch has "raaien." Drmies (talk) 14:56, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Actually we use the word "raden" in dutch. "Raden" means "Guess" Btw: a is pronounced as a. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.242.35.45 (talk) 19:43, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 35,715 as of May 1. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.

Your Project's list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Netherlands/Unreferenced BLPs. Currently you have approximately 101 articles to be referenced. Other project lists can be found at User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects/Templates and User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects.

Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope (talk) 17:26, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

An older list is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Netherlands/unreferencedBLPs but this is not updated by a bot. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:37, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Help looking for Dutch book

Perhaps this is the wrong place to ask for this kind of help - and I know this does not directly relate to the Netherlands WikiProject, but I was hoping someone might be able to access a book locally and help me with a citation for an article. I am looking for the book Albumdossier: 1969-2002 by Johan van Slooten, a book that does not appear to be in print anymore and is not available in the United States. I wish to know the page number of the book that has information about a U2 album called Achtung Baby, specifically a page that states what the album's charting peak was. I apologize if this request is misplaced, but I figured someone from the Netherlands might be involved in this project and be able to access the book at their local library. Thanks for your understanding. Y2kcrazyjoker4 (talk) 14:07, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Opinion needed

Was the Courante published in the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (The Netherlands)" or in the "Dutch Republic (The Netherlands)"? See Talk:List of newspapers by establishment date#Which country? Gun Powder Ma (talk) 12:36, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

The holy roman empire lost about all authority over the Netherlands in the 14th century, so a newspaper published in 1618 would fall outside of that political entity. See further comments on talk. Arnoutf (talk) 13:35, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Enka, North Carolina

I used a Dutch source to confirm that what was in Wikipedia was wrong. Wikipedia was only corroborated by itself and mirror sites. Other sources which I plan to add had a different version. Only the Dutch source confirms that Wikipedia's statement is a myth.

I was advised to ask a native speaker to confirm what an online translation suggested.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 15:46, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

O sorry, did n't realise you would take the ENKA case there; I thought you would post future requests here. My provided translation was done by myself not a machine. Don't worry, your interpretation of the Dutch source is correct. Arnoutf (talk) 10:17, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

race riots?

In the article on Culemborg there is talk of violent race riots. Since I live there and am also a member of the local fire brigade (so I guess I have some insight in the matter) I think the world 'riots' implicates much and much more than actually happened. Yes, there were tensions, yes, there were fights, yes, there were cars on fire. But if it is on a scale of 3 or 4 streets and an area that can be walked through in 2 minutes I feel the term 'riot' is a gross exaggeration. Especially compared to real riots like in Miami or Paris suburbs both some years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.213.47.11 (talk) 07:34, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Opera in the Netherlands

Hi all. I'm a member of WP:WikiProject Opera and I have noticed that our coverage of opera in the Netherlands is rather poor. We have an articles on De Nederlandse Opera and its theatre, Stopera, which was established after World War II. However, opera was performed in Amsterdam for several hundred years before that, and there are no articles on any opera houses/theatres from before the construction of the Stopera, which only opened in 1986. Also, we could use articles on other current opera companies in other cites, like the Nationale Reisopera in Enschede, the Stichting Opera Groningen, and Opera Zuid in Maastricht. Any help would be appriciated.4meter4 (talk) 18:54, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Netherlands articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Netherlands articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Is 2010 Dutch forummers hurricane season for real?

I readily admit I am no expert on the Netherlands, but somebody who is should take a long hard look at this article. It is entirely unsourced and mentions an area of the Netherlands that I cannot find any mention of anywhere on Wikipedia. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but frankly I have never heard of hurricanes being so far north. Any help/input would be appreciated. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:48, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Speed Skating

I figure since the Netherlands performs well at Speed skating, that there might be editors here interested in a WikiProject for the sport.

WikiProject cleanup listing

I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions). See the tool's wiki page, this project's listing in one big table or by categories and the index of WikiProjects. Svick (talk) 20:24, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello,

I have never suggested an edit before, so I am not sure how one goes about that, but I saw on the link for Frikadellen that it says it was invented in 1959:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frikandel

I just stumbled onto an old "Dr. Oetker's Schulkochbuch" that has a reference to Frikandellen (I think it is the 1920 edition) on page 64. It's in parenthesis after a reference to "Dämpfschnitte."

The copy I got is missing the copyright page, but it has 144 pages, and I saw that # of pages mentioned on a Library of Congress page for the 1920 edition. The later editions, such as the ones in the 1930s had more pages.

I know this cookbook predates 1959 because the cover is in Kurrentschrift and the text is in Fraktur, which was pretty much obliterated from the German script after World War II.

Anyway, I think it was invented much earlier than the article suggests.

Cheers, Sheryl Zettner

OK, you're mixing up the Netherlands (with their frikadel, respelled in 2005 to frikandel to better reflect common pronunciation)) and Germany (with their Frikadelle). These are different things. The German variant is a flattened meatball, the Dutch variant started out as a sausage-like meatball (invented in 1954 by Gerrit de Vries; in 1959 "perfected" by giving it a smooth surface by Jan Bekkers (now Jan Beckers)).

Lodewijk van den Berg

The article on Lodewijk van den Berg says that he "was a naturalized American and no longer a Dutch citizen" at the time he went to space (1985). The accompanying reference (with a dead link) states that "according to Dutch regulations a person automatically loses the Dutch nationality if he voluntarily accepted another nationality before April 1, 2003". But can that retroactively apply to Van den Berg's 1985 flight? Had he really lost his Dutch citizenship at the time he took up American citizenship? Or did he only lose his Dutch citizenship when the current law came into force, which afaik was after the space flight? 83.84.195.88 (talk) 14:07, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Actually, the text is incomplete. He lost his citizenship based on the Dutch Nationality Act of January 1, 1985. That act was amended in 2003, to create some exceptions. [1] Whaledad (talk) 14:28, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Help required from Dutch speakers

While updating the article on Lipke Holthuis, I came across a link to a photo of him, which I would like to include in that article. Could a Dutch speaker please confirm that "Het beeldmateriaal is rechtenvrij en in hoge resolutie te downloaden" does indeed mean that the images are available under a free license (presumably {{PD-author}}), and offer an opinion as to whether that applies to the photo of Prof. Holthuis, or merely to the images on the linked page. Thanks. --Stemonitis (talk) 08:15, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

"Het beeldmateriaal is rechtenvrij en in hoge resolutie te downloaden" does mean that the images are available under a free license, I assume that you can use their pictures. Steppler 15:10, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Maarten Maartens

Just a question. Why isn't the article about Maarten Maartens within the scope of the WikiProject Netherlands?

Reimerswaal

Yesterday I proposed that the Reimerswaal article should be split into an article about the historic city and an article about the current municipality. I've just thought that I should note it here too, for example I don't know what (if any) naming conventions exist for articles about Dutch places. Thryduulf (talk) 16:43, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

I've now carried out this split and disambiguated almost every incoming link.

Split Cabinet Crisis 2006 into new article?

Hi, I recommended this split after reading the Second Balkenende Cabinet article. I thought the topic has enough complexity, context leading up to the cabinet dispute, and consequences to warrant the creation of a new article.

List of dutch people, what qualifies as famous and notable?

I noticed in the movies section that dutch oscar winner Michael Dudok de Wit was missing so i added him to the list. I also added animator Paul Driessen and Marten Toonder but i put him in visual arts (since he is foremost a comic creator) But i also noticed no less then four porn actresses, maybe some of them could be called famous or notable, but i had never heard of them.

I would think the goal is a balanced list with people that are relevant in their field on a global scale. Looking at it like this, the four actresses might qualify, but how do you judge this? Peter wassink (talk) 19:34, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

One way to judge the notability of the subject is to see how many hits the article gets and how many other articles link to it. If they get hardly any hits and have hardly any other links, they are clearly not notable and should be deleted. Martinvl (talk) 21:22, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Coordinates in Google Earth

Sometimes, no not sometimes anymore bur quite regularly, when I want to see where the object of the article is in Google Earth I get something else instead. Just now I was looking for the "1e Parkhavenbrug, Rotterdam, Nederland" and I ended on the first Parkhaven bridge also in Rotterdam. With the Canal of Drusus, SW of Arnhem in the Netherlands, I think it is somewhere there, because I ended on the Rijndijk near Westervoort in the Netherlands. This happens to me regularly not only here but all over Wikipedia, it might be possible that the canal of Drusus is next to the Rijndijk. But a dijk is a big long stretched heap of, normally clay with sometimes a stone covert base, and a canal is the opposite, it is what is leftover if you build two parallel dikes and you dig in between, or a long narrow hole in the ground with water in it, enough for a ship to float in. So please if you create a link to the position of the object of an article, CREATE one, and not borrow one from something else in the neighbourhood. that creates only confusion, and an encyclopedia is there to create clarity and enlighten people. Please stop turning this into a quiz.

New article: Bernard Loder

Hello. Normally I don't add the banner of a wikiproject that I don't participate in to an article's talk page, but your scope indicates generally any article related to the Netherlands is within the scope. Bernard Loder was a justice on the country's supreme court for over a decade, represented the Netherlands at multiple maritime conferences, and served as a delegate to the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. I came across him while looking for missing article related to international law, in this case, judges in the list Judges of the Permanent Court of International Justice that did not yet have articles on the English Wikipedia. Nearly all of what you see now was taken by translating the German Wikipedia article on Loder, with changes made for grammer/meaning. Please take a look and see if you can provide any improvement.

Proposed merge: Stoemp and Stamppot

hi everyone. I have proposed the merge of these two pages, acoording to the redirect that already exists on nl.wiki, and similar comments/evidences on the internet and also on a discussion page on fr.wiki. The merge has been proposed in parallel also on fr.wiki, it.wiki and es.wiki. the proposed main title would be stamppot (sorry Belgium :) )--Alexmar983 (talk) 12:28, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Sorry, I just realized I didn't even have this page on my watchlist. Looking at the articles, I vote to keep both. Euh, no offense to the Dutch, but given my choice, I would go for the Stoemp over the Stamppot in any restaurant any day. This is because in general I find Belgian cooking better. Ahum, that said, let me remind you that this is the ENGLISH Wikipedia, and we like to take care of the poor Belgians who are one of the rare European countries without a separate Wikipedia and as I type, no Wikimedia chapter. They tend to get hammered a lot at the Dutch Wikipedia, and this looks like a prime example. Even though Stamppot was started (supposedly) at the end of the siege of Leiden, I think merging this with the Belgian dish is downright wrong. When a country takes a culinary idea and brings it to new heights, this should be rewarded with a culinary Wikipedia page! Jane (talk) 05:40, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Word origin question

I'm wondering if anybody that speaks Dutch could comment on the origin of the name of a local creek called the Poesten Kill. Kill is obviously old Dutch for creek, but I have conflicting evidence regarding the first part of the name. One of the sources states that Poesten means "frothy", "foamy", or "bubbly" in old Dutch. (The other source says it comes from the name of a local farmer, which is probably more likely.) Can anyone comment on whether or not they're familiar with the word poesten meaning frothy (or anything else, for that matter) in Dutch? upstateNYer 23:01, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Kill is indeed a old word, it isn't used anymore in the Dutch language and I don't know what Poesten means, I actually have never heard about it before, because there is no such word (in modern Dutch). Steppler 15:17, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply! upstateNYer 00:44, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
Kil is still used in some geographic names e.g. Sluiskil and Dordtsche Kil. SpeakFree (talk) 16:34, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
My 'thick Van Dale' dictionary says that 'Poesten' means 'blazen' or 'hijgen', which translate to the English 'blow' or 'panting'.
But, please note that I had to look in the dictionary to find this definition.
Trying to free associate, a panting horse could be foaming at the mouth, leading to a meaning of 'frothy' or 'foamy'...
I hope that this helps...

Dutch Mauritius

Is Talk:Dutch Mauritius and Talk:Governor of Dutch Mauritius a top-importance article to your project? As a minor colony, it seems strange to me that it's rated as such. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 08:49, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Why not? Personally I would judge those articles to be top-importance to this project, as they comprise actual land areas that belong to the Netherlands core corpus of history. In many cases, I would also judge certain Belgian towns (like Antwerp) to be of top importance to this project as well. There is no agreed policy on the importance grading system, BTW.

"Flanders topics" section

Hi - this section at the bottom on Belgian geography and government is misleading.

Zeelandic Flanders is part of the Netherlands, not Belgium (it's geographically in Flanders, but politically in the Netherlands). So linking it to the other Dutch provinces would be more meaningful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.82.203.75 (talk) 07:20, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

If you are referring to the link to Zeelandic Flanders in the Template:Flanders topics, then it clearly states that it is a "Neighbouring and historical region", which is correct, so I don't see the problem. If you click on the link, it also states correctly that it is a region of the Netherlands. Are you objecting to the use of this template on that page? Or the lack of a similar Dutch template to place above it? The problem there is that the land mass does not match up with the Dutch provinces template, because Zeeland is much bigger.

Please create Quarles van Ufford

Hi. Can someone who speaks Dutch please translate this page into English? I've tried to do Google Translate, but it's really bad, here's the result: "The lineage begins with the coming of Norfolk William Quarles whose son John is listed as 1524 and that was in 1570, ships of the lake copper guild in London. A direct descendant , William ( 1688), born in England, was in the service of the VOC , settled in the Netherlands and was in 1670 ships Schieland : he was the father of the Dutch branches : a grandson , William ( 1717 - 1781 ) , was the ancestor of the branch Baronale the Quarles Quarles , another grandson , Louis ( 1719-1781 ) , was the ancestor of the untitled noble branch Quarles van Ufford .

William Quarles the Quarles (1717-1781) was on October 14, 1751 elevated to Baron des HRRijks . On September 16, 1815 elevation followed in the Dutch nobility for various descendants of William ( 1688) , according to the first nobility list was Pieter Willem Louis Quarles the Quarles ( 1758-1826 ) granting the title of baron at all ( while on the branch Quarles van Ufford deserve only the predicate ) .

Since 1992 belongs Alexandre Quarles van Ufford (1956 ) and his descendants to the Belgian nobility , he was a son of the Dutch ambassador Bryan Quarles van Ufford ( 1920-1975 ) who was married to the Belgian jkvr. Marie - Emilie van der Linden d ' Hooghvorst ( 1918-1991 ) ."

Query re volcano

The article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuidwal_volcano states that the 'extinct' volcano Zuidwal was discovered because of temperature differences at 2km depth, namely 130 deg where 100 was expected. I did geology at college a long time ago (47 years) so I may be wrong but the inference here is that magma is causing the temperature difference. At that depth I believe this should be more correctly designated 'dormant' if that is the case.

Reddogbarking (talk) 10:13, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

In this case the volcano is last active in the Jurassic. So it is well and truly dormant with no magma. However temperature differences could be due to differences in heat conduction in different kinds of rocks. Perhaps the sedimentary rock is more insulating and the volcanic rock more conductive, drawing up heat from below. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:37, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

"Dutch Singers-songwriters" category

In the category "Dutch Singers-Songwriters" Ana Popovic is listed there too although she is Serbian and not Dutch. The category is not named "Dutch Bands" - if that was the case placing her there would possibly make sense since she formed a band in the Netherlands some years ago (she now lives in the US). I don't know, I just thought it's a bit odd really, any thoughts appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by VasVel (talk • contribs) 19:39, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Maybe you can approach this in the following way. If Ana Popović didn't have the Dutch nationality, she should not be listed in any Dutch categories as a person. If her band was based in the Netherlands, an article about her band should be listed in Dutch categories. – Editør (talk) 09:23, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

The Gerbrandy Tower

The Gerbrandy Tower (Dutch: Gerbrandytoren) is a tower in IJsselstein, the Netherlands. It was built in 1961.

Should this say in IJsselstein, the Netherlands or IJsselstein, Netherlands? What do people think? I've seen it written both ways. Robert4565 (talk) 05:37, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

In this case, I would choose the longer form of "in IJsselstein in the Netherlands", but I think your two options are fine too and you can pick any one you like. – Editør (talk) 09:56, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

It is an interesting list, if the project were more active, we could try to start a collaborative effort to improve some of these articles. CRwikiCA talk 19:36, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
You are probably right, although we could try and ask for help from other projects related to a selected article. – Editør (talk) 09:17, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
A logical start would be the 3 level-3 articles. Even though my time to spend on it is relatively limited. If we have a few editors working together it might help it along more smoothly. CRwikiCA talk 14:22, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
I seems logical, but it will also be hard, because there is so much literature about Rembrandt or Van Gogh. Perhaps it is easier to begin at the articles with the lowest class, currently Start class, and try to improve those five articles to the next class, in this case to C class. – Editør (talk) 16:35, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
That seems to be another logical approach, to sweep up. Possibly bringing everything to B-class first and then only later on carefully improve articles to GA an FA status, which would be a lot more work. I think B-class is a good aim, because it could even be argued that most of the current Start-class are actually at the C-class level already. CRwikiCA talk 17:46, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
Yes, B class is preferred if that guarantees quality improvement. – Editør (talk) 09:52, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).

Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.

If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot (talk) (for Mr.Z-man) 05:18, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

The original article was resurrected fortunately, though the way that happened is pretty strange: the article apparently was not "rejected" but "declined", and somehow both me and the original creator were supposed to understand that nuance. Anyway, the fix entailed a merge of both articles, but I just discovered that my stub got lost in the merge process.

Find sources?

Hi! I was wondering if any of you could help me find sources for the article Achtste Groepers Huilen Niet. I created this after seeing it in mention to another film based on the same book (Kule Kidz Gråter Ikke, if any of you are fluent in Norwegian and want to help look for sources), but I'm running into sourcing issues. I've established notability via the awards but I'd really like to have more information on the film in general. Can anyone help find sources? I don't speak any other language than English when it comes down to it, so I'm hampered by Google Translate. Any help I could get would be absolutely wonderful. I'm going to try to make an article for the book as well, so if anyone does speak Norwegian or can help find articles about the book in any other language, that would be great as well!

Not that everyone should necessarily know every author in every country, but it reminds me of how far we have to go before we're really covering everything there is to cover out there.
