That above was the standard welcome template - but your very impressive editing warrants more. It is clear based on your edits to date that you have the potential to be a major Wikipedia contributor/editor (and perhaps given your skills have previously been one but haven’t taken a name before). Welcome.
I reverted your rather bold and dramatic edits to Knut Hamsun but am extremely willing to discuss and incorporate some (perhaps all) of them. But I do believe that we should make the case for Knut Hamsun’s importance first and retain much of the negative material if it is factually accurate. Hamsun's reputation will be based on the reaction of readers to his work - not what we write.
I've commented below your comments on the Hamsun talk page. Looking forward to having you educate me there.
