Hi all
Russavia from English Wikipedia and Commons here
I am currently looking for some photographers in several countries who
might be able to assist me with taking photos from Norway which I am
requiring for some articles I am working on.
Details of what I require can be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Russavia/Required_photos#.C2.A0Norway
If anyone is able to help me, or if anyone knows of photographers who
can help, feel free to contact me on this email (and to pass my email
on), or i can be contacted at

In the event someone is able to help, and the photo subjects are
obscured, I may be able to organise with the local diplomatic mission
for inside access to take photos and the like, so this is an option if
anyone is willing.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Scotty (Russavia)
Hello Wikimedians,
My name is Deniz and I am working for the Wikimedia Foundation during
the 2010 Fundraiser as the liaison between the Norwegian community and
the Foundation. This year's fundraiser is intended to be a collaborative
and global effort, we recognize that banner messages that perform well
in the United States don't necessarily translate well, or appeal to
Norwegian audiences. And No one knows better what will appeal to
Norwegian readers and editors than you!
We're currently asking volunteer chapters and a number of language
communities to help us maximize the potential of the fundraiser by
getting deeply involved in the messaging, planning, and execution of
this year's fundraiser. We want everyone in the community to get
involved to make sure we have a fundraiser that represents all of us.
Our first steps are to suggest and translate banners, and start a
discussion in your community. What can we do to improve Fundraising and
localize messages? On the Fundraising meta page we've started the banner
suggestion process, analysis of tested banners, and recruiting volunteers.
I'm here both to answer questions as they come up and to listen to your
feedback about what types of messaging will work and won't work. We'll
constantly be tweaking or changing things, based on your input, to try
to make everything as perfect as possible for the readers and donors in
your language and region.
Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to
others, talk to us, and add your feedback to the proposed messages as
well. I look forward to working with you during this year's fundraiser,
please feel free to contact me with any suggestions or questions about
the fundraiser this year.
