Regarding your second undoing of "Farahnaz Bahrami"
I have once again edited this article, as she is not an elected member of the Storting. She is an elected deputy member of the Storting (a.k.a. "Vararepresentant"). She is meeting permanently to the Storting because current Nils Kristen Sandtrøen, minister of agriculture and food (and elected member of the Storting for the same party and constituency as Bahrami) is in office. This kind of information is clearly stated on her Storting profile and is not edited due to your wordings of "blindly changing based on your assumptions". The fact that this is the second time you undo an edit like this is problematic, especially with reasoning due to being "unable to verify". Her profile is here and has had this information available since the constituent meeting on October 10th, and if you do not understand Norwegian then ask away: https://www.stortinget.no/no/Representanter-og-komiteer/Representantene/Representant/?perid=FB Citanoo (talk) 16:00, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
- You don't need to be elected to be full member. If you permanently replace an elected member you become a full member whereas if you temporarily replace an elected member you remain a deputy member. At the top of Farahnaz Bahrami's Storting page it states "Representant for Hedmark 2025-2029" - I don't need to understand Norwegian to know what that means. Compare that to Henrik Gottfries Kierulf, who is meeting temporarily for Mari Holm Lønseth, whose Storting page states "Vararepresentant for Sør-Trøndelag 2025-2029",
- The main listing of Storting members also shows Bahrami and Kierulf differently - Bahrami's name is shown first with the member she is replacing, Nils Kristen Sandtrøen, shown in brackets. Kierulf, on the other hand, is shown brackets with the Lønseth's name shown first.
- It's clear that Storting considers Bahrami, and all the others whom you've changed, to be full members. Obi2canibe (talk) 16:19, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
- It's not technically correct to say that they "permanently" replace an elected member, because if minister Sandtrøen were to leave the Støre cabinet, then he will immediately enter the Storting take the seat that Bahrami currently has and send her out of the Storting. She could still meet to the Storting if Sandtrøen or one of the other two Labour Party MPs from Hedmark (Selnes and Eriksen) were away for different reasons, similar to Kierulf. Difference between Bahrami and Kierulf is that Kierulf know the timespan he will be meeting to the Storting, while Bahrami does not. They are still both deputy members to the Storting and both are currently deputising for elected members of the Storting.
- Yes the top of Bahrami's profile states that, but that is because it does not state this for Sandtrøen currently while he is in the Cabinet. Also on Bahrami's profile it states "Vararepresentant nr 1 for Hedmark, 2025 - 2029, A." which means deputy representative number 1 for Hedmark, 2025-2029, Labour Party. Also it states: "Bahrami, Farahnaz møter fast for Sandtrøen, Nils Kristen." which means she meets for minister Sandtrøen WHILE he is in the cabinet.
- There are 169 elected MPs to the Storting and over a thousand elected deputy representantives to the Storting. Currently 12 of these are actively deputisting for members of the Støre cabinet that also got elected MPs in this years election (which means if they leave the Cabinet then they have a seat at the Storting to go back to). Citanoo (talk) 16:41, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
- "Bahrami, Farahnaz møter fast for Sandtrøen, Nils Kristen." does not mean she meets for minister Sandtrøen WHILE he is in the cabinet; it means she meets permanently for Sandtrøen, Nils Kristen. The Norwegian word "fast" translates to "permanent" in English.
- It is common for a list of potential substitute members of legislatures to be appointed at the same time as full members are elected. When these substitute members replace a full member permanently, irrespective of the reason (resignation, death), they become full members and here on Wikipedia we don't differentiate them from members who were elected at the election.
- Does a deputy member of the Storting who replaces a member elected at the election have different powers than a member elected at the election? If not, why do you and some other Norwegian editors want to keep calling them deputy members. This only happens to members of the Storting. For all other legislatures, we show them as full members. Obi2canibe (talk) 17:27, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
- No offense, but what you said right now more or less confirms that you do not know how the system works at all. You basically claim full understanding of the system based purely on the direct translation of the wording of "fast" into "permanent". As I stated before and I can happily state once more if this helps you understand how it actually works: Bahrami is meeting at the Storting BECAUSE Sandtrøen is in the Støre cabinet. IF Sandtrøen were to leave the Cabinet (before the 2029 election) regardless of reason then he will be meeting at the Storting for the rest of the period (2025-2029) and Bahrami would leave the Storting.
- Just because many other legislatures (like the US) has the system you are thinking about does NOT mean it is the same for the Storting in Norway. It is even much different than in our neighboring countries where it is possible to withdraw your elected seat in the middle of the term, while here it is almost impossible.
- The only reason she is "fast møtende" over Kierulf is (as I also mentioned before) that Kierulf has a set time for how long he will be meeting at the Storting for MP Lønseth, while Bahrami does not know how long Sandtrøem will serve in the Støre Cabinet. She could remain in the Storting until end of the term (30 september 2029) or she could be out of the Storting tomorrow if Sandtrøen suddently were to leave the Cabinet. That is how the system works in Norway and not "me coming with my own assumptions" on how it works.
- If you want an example, then look up minister Sandtrøen's older brother Per Martin Sandtrøen who was (and still is) a deputy member to the Storting. He was a meeting substitute for Centre Party MP (and party leader) Trygve Slagsvold Vedum from 14 October 2021 from 4 February 2025, as Vedum was serving as minister of finance in the Støre Cabinet. However the Centre Party left the Støre Cabinet on that day and Vedum returned to the Storting and Per Martin Sandtrøens time at the Storting as a meeting substitute was over for now.

Ways to improve Diputació de Girona
Hello, Obi2canibe,
Thank you for creating Diputació de Girona.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
It seems like this subject is notable, but requires some cleanup. It could use more secondary sources, which do exist, to establish its notability. It also shows similar structure to some LLM outputs (though it may or may not be in reality), and will require cleanup on that basis.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Aplucas0703}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.
