How do I edit?
Yep on that hertz page I was not using the sandbox. I have a problem. This page on Bose (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amar_Bose) has a part about "Tri-Port Earcup Drivers" being designed on "psychoacoustic principles" which is total bull crap. Believe me I know, the company I work for competes in the "Active noise control" market as well. How do I challenge this statement properly with a talk page? Regards Matt.

- Amar Bose has a talk page at Talk:Amar Bose. Any article's talk page can be found from the "Discussion" tab at the top of the page. Create a new section there the same way you would on a user talk page: by clicking the "new section" tab next to "Edit this page". — Insanity Incarnate 19:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Contested Prod
I have removed the {{prod}} tag from MDFA- Mumbai District Football Association, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! As I mention on the talk page, those are editorial problems, not deletion issues. MadScot (talk) 23:09, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Propose moving the article titled Governor-general of Norway to Statholder
I propose moving the article titled Governor-general of Norway to Statholder or, if that is objectionable, to Governor General of Norway. The basis for this move is that there is published material showing three terms: ”Statholder”, “Viceroy” or “Governor General”, are accepted English terms in academic references, while "Governor-general of Norway" appears nowhere in English language print. Viceroy is a generic term, hardly specific to Norway, and should not be used. ”Statholder” is specific to Norway, risking no ambiguity. A survey of usages follows:
- Governor General – Jesperson, Leon (Ed.) (2000). A Revolution from Above? The Power State of 16th and 17th Century Scandinavia. Odense University Press. 87-7838-407-9.
- Statholder (viceroy) – Gjerset, Knut (1915). History of the Norwegian People, Volumes I & II. The MacMillan Company.
- Statholder – Larson, Karen (1948). A History of Norway. Princeton University Press. ISBN none.
- Statholder – Derry, T.K. (1960). A Short History of Norway. George Allen & Unwin. ISBN none.
- Stattholder – by Stagg: Stagg, Frank Noel (1956). East Norway and its Frontier. George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. ISBN none. – Stagg, Frank Noel (1954). West Norway and its Fjords. George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. ISBN none.– Stagg, Frank Noel (1953). The Heart of Norway. George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. ISBN none.– Stagg, Frank Noel (1958). South Norway. George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. ISBN none.
- Statholder or Viceroy–Barton, Arnold H. (1986). Scandinavia in the Revolutionary Era: 1760 - 1815. University of Minnesota Press. ISBN 0-8166-1393-1.
- Governor – Kent, Neil (2000). The Soul of the North. Reaktion Books, London. ISBN 1-86189-067-2.
I strongly incline toward Statholder since it is widely used in publications and is the term one is most likely to come to Wikipedia to look up.
You were contacted because you’ve edited the article. Your counsel and guidance would be appreciated… Please comment at Talk:Governor-general of Norway.

Orphaned non-free media (File:CHRS.png)
Thanks for uploading File:CHRS.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:26, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
