Article improvement
[edit]Hello Økonom. Since you complained about this article, saying it contained bias, I would just really like to encourage to come help improving it :) You might have some suggestions--Marginataen (talk) 14:55, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
- As I think you are aware, the fundamental problem of the article in question, Mikkel Bjørn, is that you created and keep editing it without disclosing your conflict of interest in the matter, cf. Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#User:Marginataen. This issue will not be solved by your continuing editing the article. --Økonom (talk) 08:26, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
That discussion, we will take at the noticeboard where you stated that the article "has a clearly positive bias, omitting criticism and serving effectively as a platform of Bjørn's views". You didn’t give examples, but as Wikipedia:NPOV is important to me, I would of course like you to help improve it when you say it is unbalanced and therefore surely must have something in mind. If you don't want to, that's your choice, but I also just find it a bit unusual to just throw accusations of bias at another editor (me) without being willing to engage in the article oneself. But hey, if the "fundamental problem" is not the text itself but rather who wrote it, that’s something we will discuss at the noticeboard.--Marginataen (talk) 10:16, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- I have not said that I am unwilling to improve the article. However, it is natural to solve the most important and ongoing problem related to the article first, as your COI issue will clearly also influence subsequent discussions of the article. Økonom (talk) 17:19, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Danmarks udtræden af den Europæiske Union (EU)
[edit]What do you think about showing the article "Danmarks udtræden af den Europæiske Union (EU)" also in Danish? Wname1 (talk) 17:54, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- There existed such an article once on the Danish Wikipedia, but it was deleted, following a consensus decision (as seen here: da:Wikipedia:Sletningsforslag/Dansk tilbagetrækning fra EU), so it seems not relevant to raise the issue again. --Økonom (talk) 18:38, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- That's true. But it's also historic. That's 3.5 years old. The world is always turning around, especially in the political sphere. :-) Wname1 (talk) 20:45, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Greek withdrawal from the eurozone has more than 30 countries, so why not also write Danmarks udtræden af den Europæiske Union (EU) as well? Wname1 (talk) 18:04, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
- I don't see any clear connection between the two - and there is no Greek euro withdrawal article on the Danish WP ... --Økonom (talk) 07:19, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Draft help
[edit]Hello Økonom. It was actually quite a coincidence that you changed that image as I was just about to write to you. I've written a revision of the "Member of Folketing" sub-heading on MB's page. As you have shown intrest in that page in the past, I would like to ask if would like to read it and maybe give a little feedback before I submit it as a COI edit request in accordance with all rules? :)--Marginataen (talk) 19:26, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- Actually, I think that actively soliciting the assistance of other specific editors in making new suggestions for that page, as well as your misuse of sandboxes and your subsequent sockpuppet editing of Mikkel Bjørn's page, violates the topic ban given to you by Tamzin and Bishonen. You should rather respect your topic ban in its entirety. --Økonom (talk) 08:48, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
- I was just trying to be nice and solve possible disagreements/unconscious biases up front. I take your response as a no and that's perfectly alright :)--Marginataen (talk) 17:38, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
