Hi Valentinian, good to see you back, sorry to see you're still experiencing the same kind of POV pushing that made you leave. I hope [1] this was a right action, I just presumed removing that was an accident. If not, please feel free to revert my edit. Regards, Finn Rindahl (talk) 22:26, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- No, that one was fine (and thanks for your other message as well. I'm busy IRL at the moment, and I never got around to answering it.) I just don't feel inclined to waste any more of my life on German nationalists and their Dane-bashing. But I guess these things will just never change, and this is one of the main reasons why Wikipedia will never evolve into anything that can be relied upon for any serious purpose, and why I don't belong on this project anymore.

"Slesvig" in the Great Danish Encyclopedia
In Danish wikipedia "(Hertugdømmet) Slesvig" and "Sønderjylland" are described as synonyms. Is it the same in the Great Danish Encyclopedia? If they are, it would be a helpful information for improving German wikipedia.--Ulamm (talk) 16:47, 9 May 2008 (UTC)+Ulamm (talk) 21:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Milinkevich.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Milinkevich.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before

Valentinian, I see that some time back you tagged Culture of Denmark as part of the Danish project.

Crown and coat of arms of Denmark
Thank you for taking such an interest in the artwork. I have edited all the modern coat of arms of the Danish Royal Family to leave only two tassels as you have pointed out to me. I must thank you for all the information you have provided for me, in fact I wished I had them earlier. I totally understand and appreciated the fact that you wished the user-created coat of arms to be as close to the original as possible, however as you can see from many of my work, I have not always been able to follow this ethos. What I do believe is that no matter how good a user-created work is, It can never replace an original, therefore I have never set out to out-do the original work or to replace it. What I do is to create a SVG version, which in accordance with the blazon is entirely correct and accurate as well as encyclopaedic: So that it serves its purpose here on Wikipedia to illustrate and illuminate (that is the best I can hope for really).

The article Peter Munch has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Appears to fail WP:N, I can't find reliable, independent secondary coverage of the article subject on which to build an article. Certainly most of the article content is likely unsourceable. Two hits on Google News archives, both incidental. Mentions on web search are incidental, not independent, or Wikipedia mirrors as far as I can tell.

Hi Valentinian. I realize you don't spend as much time on Wikipedia as you used to but as an inhabitant of Odense and a former contributor to the article, I thought you might be able to help us with the current work we are doing on the article. In our efforts to bring articles on the larger Danish cities up to GA level, we have already handled Copenhagen, Aalborg and Esbjerg and hope we can now substantially improve coverage of Odense.--Ipigott (talk) 07:53, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Greetings from
Hundreds of Denmark
Good morning, do you have some time for follow up on this category discussion? Marcocapelle (talk) 07:56, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- I only edit Wikipedia extremely limited these days. The hundreds (herreder) are quite notable, since they - (along with the parishes which still exist) - formed Denmark's most continuous administrative division. Between 200 and 300 of them existed, and each were composed of a number of parishes. The Hundreds existed from the early medieval period (at least since the 1200s but very likely a few centuries earlier than that), and was a base component of the judicial divisions of Denmark until abolished by an administrative reform in 1970.
- The Danish Wikipedia has more about them. Image:Administrative_division_of_denmark_in_medieval_times.jpg shows the hundreds (indicated with red borders). Of course, a few alterations to the divisions occurred during the 800 or so years, but all in all this medieval division was remarkably stable. Valentinian T / C 10:16, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
- tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
- adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
- updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
- creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Hi there! I saw your edit on Socken, and I guess it's ok for now. When I first got hold of the article, it was a very small and "bare bones only" stub. I expanded it with what I could (I needed it to be ok for my work with sockens on Gotland) but since my knowledge only extended to Sweden, I was rather hoping some editors with knowledge about the other countries could add to it later. Any help with this is of course much appreciated. Cheers, cart-Talk 19:49, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Denmark in World War II
I see you haven't been on wikipedia for a couple of years, but I was trying to read about Denmark in WW2 and came across your 2006 comments on the talk page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Denmark_in_World_War_II/Archive_1
The current article lacks a lot of the context and nuance, yet your comments 16 years ago were absolutely fascinating. Your writing style is irresistibly engaging and I felt like I was reading a renowned text on Danish history. I was born in the 80's in Northern Ireland and Denmark was never mentioned at any point during my history education. The many thousands of films and documentaries about WW2 only reference Denmark as part of a larger operation, almost as if the Danish people didn't exist during the war.
You clearly put a lot of effort into your comments that were only destined for a talk page that few would see, responding to short questions that didn't deserve such a fantastic response. I just wanted to thank you and let you realise that the effort put in 16 years ago is appreciated and still being enjoyed.
Wish you all the best.
