Fixing this page
editI have started adding more citations and information to this page. Due to the fact that this is a living person, it requires more validated information and I found an article about him on the Store Norske Leksikon (Large Norwegian Encyclopedia) that includes a lot of stuff that backs up some of the info already on this page. That site is written by two editorial staff authors who have master's in Norwegian theater/arts. I have also started reworking the layout of the article.

- One other thing I wanted to mention: should I be worried about the fact that most of my information on him is (obviously) coming from sites written in Norwegian being translated by Google? Rylieb leelib (talk) 19:04, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Rylieb leelib, I believe the Film and TV specifically the following;

- Yes, I totally agree! I will try to work on that bit some more. I think a lot of the information on this particular page came originally from the IMDb biography so it all needs to be fact checked. Rylieb leelib (talk) 15:36, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- These may be reputable sources [1] [2] add. Additionally, I noticed there are citation pointing to IMDb. To my knowledge IMDb isn't accepted for citations and is blacklisted. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources and if in doubt ask Wikipedia:Teahouse. CF-501 Falcon (talk) 20:58, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Please see Wikipedia:Teahouse#Petter Næss | IMDb for more details. Cheers CF-501 Falcon (talk) 21:07, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Adding Filmography
editI think a Filmography table should be added in as well, I'm just not sure the best place to find that information since IMDb is not a reliable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rylieb leelib (talk • contribs) 20:53, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
