Help with Translation!?

edit

Can you help translate this for me to swedish? Many thanks in advance!

About half of the economically active population is employed in agriculture. Arable land amounts to only one-fourth of the total land area, yet the country meets nearly all its food needs from domestic production. In the mid-1970s, moreover, Albania became selfsufficient in bread grains. Main crops are wheat, corn (maize), sugar beets, cotton, sunflower seeds, tobacco, potatoes, and fruits. Major livestock are sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs.

Jag såg att någon (du?) bytte namn på Swedish War Flag

Swedish War Flag

till Swedish Naval Ensign. Jag antar att du känner till att hela resten av Försvarsmakten också använder örlogsflaggan, och inte bara flottan? Det kanske inte är så bra att antyda att den bara är flottans/marinens symbol.

Bethesda Christian School

edit

I cut the Bethesda Christian School article down to a stub and added categories. Sometimes an article which starts out as an advertisement can be salvaged and turned into a neutral article. --Eastmain (talk) 15:42, 4 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I realise that I may have been too TWigger-happy sometimes. I'll probably be more Friendly in the future. — Magnus Holmgren (talk) 06:16, 5 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

edit

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:33, 14 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
