Hordaland

Welcome!     Hello, Hordaland, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! I hope you will be happy helping here. You should begin by reading these pages: Wikipedia:Useful, Help:Contents, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, and how to write Simple English articles. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read Wikipedia:Requested articles or the list of wanted pages, or help out with this weeks selected article, which is no longer used. Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, please be bold and try! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later. We are also working most on core articles and the most common topics until this Wikipedia grows. If you want to ask a question or talk with other members, you can visit our version of the "village pump" at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Administrators on Wikipedia can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. You should always sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words. If you would like to test Wikipedia, please use the sandbox. Please do not test Wikipedia by editing its articles. Good luck and happy editing! — Lights (talk) 01:02, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Wikify

I've already wikified your new article once, please don't change any of the wiki links, because I believe them to be valid. Thanks, -Razorflame 16:17, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Changes

What exactly are you trying to achieve on this site? -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 17:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't rightly know what your problem is. Could you be more specific? Hordaland 17:13, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't have a problem with what you are doing. I"m just wondering what you change on this site? -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 17:15, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I've noticed that you like articles that have to do with medical information. Is that what you specialize in? -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 17:17, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the additions you have made recently. You must have a special knowledge or interest and I hope you carry on contributing to SEWP. -- Barliner  talk  18:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Userpage

I've noticed that your userpage is still blank. Please don't take this as critisizm, but I am merely suggesting that it might be a good idea to start your userpage? -Razorflame (contributions) Talk 19:45, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey! I was just reading your userpage and I wondered if you wanted to add links to some of the pages you've made on other Wikipedias. For example, I see you've written an article in English Wikipedia, do you want to make that a link to that article?

Gwib^-(talk)- 11:26, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reminding me to add the latest article. :-) It's possible, I know, to link to another language (in this case not exactly another...), but I don't remember how. Can you fix it for me? --Hordaland 16:25, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Sure! I know how to link to the English Wikipedia from here but I'm not sure about the two other languages.. I'll try it out.
Gwib^-(talk)- 16:49, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh! I think the one is enough, don't you? Anyone reading Norwegian would go there first, not here, I should think. --Hordaland 16:54, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Gosh, it works. Thanks!! --Hordaland 22:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

If you think I've done too many, feel free to remove some :)

Edit summary

When you make changes to pages, it is usually a good idea to write an edit summary so that other editors on this site are able to identify exactly what it is you are changing on the page. Most edit summaries are just a little note that says more specifically what you are changing. Do you think you could please start using edit summaries here? If you have problems using the edit summary feature, there is an option under my settings that allows Wikipedia to prompt you when you enter a blank edit summary.

Circadian clock article

Hi Hordaland, I highly appreciate your work on circadian rhythms; you did realy great work collecting all this information, but I was astonished to see that you edited my citations regarding the extraocular clocks in the skin. This was a valid and correct citation and I can assure you from my own work that cry-1 and -2 respond to light in human keratinocytes which was also proven by other groups, e.g. Kawara, S. et al. J. Inv. Derm. 2002, Vol 119, 6 Dec.: Low-dose UVB Rays Alter the mRNA Expression of the Circadian Clock Genes in cultured Human Keratinocytes [1] regards, Joerg

I'm not sure what edit you are talking about. In any case, while there are circadian rhythms in many peripheral organs, shining light on skin (backs of the knees) doesn't reset the SCN. Campbell is a serious scientist but he jumped the gun on that one and neither he nor anyone else has been able to duplicate his results. Is it that situation you're talking about? --Hordaland (talk) 16:17, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Yep, this is what I was referring to. You are completely right that Campbells experiments are not reproducible and that shining light on the back of the knee does not reset the SCN, but nevertheless skin cells respond to light (UVB-450nm) by altering circadian gene expression. And since skin cells are involved in serotonin/melatonin production it is absolutly not clear yet, if this has systemic effects or not. This is why I wrote "... a systemic influence has not been proven so far". There is clearly a lot of work to do in this area. Anyway, thanks for your response. 16:30, 25 April 2008 Joerg

Large settlements on the coast of Hordaland

Hi, do you know any large places on the coast in Hordaland, without an article in En-wiki? "Large places" with many inhabitants, or with companies that employ several hundred people. Sju hav (talk) 15:05, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
