You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 98.80.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:31, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 98.80.212.78.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

I'm an [[embedded system]]s [[computer engineering|computer engineer]] currently living in [[Kongsberg]] (but hailing from [[Kristiansund]]), [[Norway]]. My wikilife began a little after 2 AM on [[18 August]] [[2003]], when I started contributing to WKP
<!--FOOTNOTE-->
<ref name="wkp-not-wp">To an old [[MS-DOS|DOS]]-geezer like me, "WP" will forever mean [[WordPerfect]], of which version 4.2 for DOS was the pinnacle of word processing. Period. Hadn't it been for the sorry fact that the first Windows-version sucked&mdash;allegedly due to [[Microsoft|M$]] initially supplying their competitors with a reduced version of the [[Windows API]]&mdash;I'd guess WP would still be the supreme market leader like it was in the DOS days.</ref>
<!--/FOOTNOTE-->
(and soon thereafter contracted a mild to intermediate (?) form of [[Wikipedia:Wikipediholic|wikipediholism]], which, a year and a half later, resulted in my promotion to [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Wernher|adminship]]).
{{pb}}
Being of an exceedingly [http://www.answers.com/leptosomatic leptosomatic] physical build, and having had far too many [[lego|hobbies]] and interests during my childhood and youth to care much for doing sports myself (as opposed to watching them), I have really excelled in only one sport: [[dodgeball]]. :) However, I immensely enjoy recreational back-country skiing, in particular the combination of [[cross-country skiing|cross-country]] and "[[powder snow]] skiing" (slightly downhillish, [[off-piste]]). And mountain hiking.

==Wikipedical interests==

<tr><td style="text-align:center">'''[[Wikipedia:Babel]]'''</td></tr>

<tr><td>{{User sv-2}}</td></tr>
</table>

My encyclopaedic editing interests revolves mainly around the following:
*the [[history of computing]] and [[space exploration]] (and more broadly the [[history of science and technology|history of technology]])
*[[retrocomputing]]: 1970s/80s [[home computer]]s and [[:category:home computer peripherals|peripheral]]s, centering on [[Commodore International|CBM]]'s [[8-bit]] products
*my darker side(?) is taken care of by a bent towards [[military history]] and advanced weapon systems, particularly [[missile|missile systems]] and [[submarine]]s/[[U-boat]]s
*favourite [[science fiction|(science-)fictional]] characters, brilliantly played: [[Phlox (Star Trek)|Phlox]], [[Jean-Luc Picard|Capt. Picard]], [[Data (Star Trek)|Cdr. Data]], and [[Ellen Ripley|Ripley]]
*a more ungeekly, and very Nordic/Germanic, fascination: the winter sport [[biathlon]]
*last, but not least, I do a bit of editing on [[Norway|Norwegian]] matters, including [[Norwegian-American]]s

==Routine work==

Besides writing/editing articles, much of my effort on Wikipedia has tended to go into [[wikipedia:maintenance|maintenance]]:
*[[wikipedia:categories|categorizing]], incl expanding/maintaining/correcting(?) cat hierarchies, as well as cat item [[ASCII]]-[[collation|sorting]]
*enforcing misc typographical [[WP:MOS|Wikipedia policies]]
*sharpening [[:category:stub categories|stub category]] tags
*[[wikt:wikify|wikify]]ing articles, particularly by adding comprehensive [[wikipedia:external links|external link]] texts; sorry to say, the latter seems to be a frequently overlooked chore across WKP
*hopefully what can be said to be careful [[wikipedia:templates|template]] maintenance/creation
*properly [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#Layout|threadifying]] [[Wikipedia:talk page|talk page]]s (makes discussions easier to follow, by several [[orders of magnitude]])
*and the usual syrupy mass of [[wikipedia:disambiguate|link disambigs]] (dabs), article [[wikipedia:move|move]]s, and [[wikipedia:redirect|redirect]] bypasses (byp#red)

==To-do: edits/articles==
* [[Area record]] (athletics etc.): establish; use in tables as <nowiki>[[AR]]</nowiki>
* [[Biathlon]]-related:
**Establish and edit/expand annual BWC season articles(?), starting with 2006&ndash;07
**Translate lots of biathlete bios from [[:no:kategori:skiskyttere|no:]] and de:
* [[Fredrik Rosing Bull]]: expand (ask Ulf Uttersrud of HiO if his page may be translated)
* [[GIER]], [[NUSSE]] ([[DIANA]]?): establish/edit
* [[:Category:Integrated circuits]]: establish a couple more subcategories
* [[List of heroic fictional scientists and engineers]]: complete the list of ''[[Star Trek]]'' sci-tech officers
* Misc. company product templates: include logos (for an example, see [[Template:AMD processors]])
* [[List of Motorola products]]: dab product lks, e.g. [[V220]] --> [[Motorola V220]], to distinguish those cell phones from other roughly similarly named, and much earlier (as well as more significant) products, like DEC's [[computer terminal|terminal]]s such as the [[VT220]]
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject CPUs]]: establish WikiProject, with structural features such as:
**CPU info box showing programming model, microarch, ...
**Lineage, direct/indirect, in-house/3rd party (place in info box or in separate 'box')
* [[Norwegian Institute of Technology]]: expand, espc History sec
* <s>[[sign extension]]: establish, if nobody else does</s>
* [[U-boat]]: write about [[Karl Dönitz]]' WWI escapades (and some WWII stuff, too?)
* Lots of articles (sigh):
**Finally coerce myself into shooting and uploading pics of all my computer and electronics junk from the 70s and 80s
**Convert footnotes to the up-and-coming [[Wikipedia:Footnote3|footnote standard]] (#3)

==Interwiki==
My user accounts on other Wikimedia sites (besides other language editions of Wikipedia, for which see the left margin):
*[[m:User:Wernher|Meta]]
*[[commons:User:Wernher|Commons]]

==Edit summary codes==

I use a number of abbreviations in my edit summaries. Many of the abbrevs are the standard ones, to be found in official [[Wikipedia:Edit summary legend|Edit summary legend]], while others are my own more or less self-devised ones (some infrequently used std abbrevs might also be listed below). Why do this? 1) for the obvious reason: it's quicker, hence no reason to drop the summary; and 2) contributors in doubt of the meanings will most probably come here to find out.

===Affixes===
