Talk:Útrásarvíkingur

Back-story for this entry
Just some context for the origins of this entry, in case it becomes relevant.

I originally added most of this material to Icelandic outvasion. That contribution was undone, with these reasons given: I have taken this as a suggestion that it is appropriate to create a separate entry for Útrásarvíkingur (this one!) instead. This is referring to me self-citing a peer-reviewed academic article (not a book) I'd written on the topic. It's still cited in this entry (alongside lots of other work, obviously), because I think my use is consistent with Conflict_of_interest: the article includes some empirical findings that are not available elsewhere. Me and the person who undid the entry had discussions about this topic (with reference to another couple of edits revoked at the same time) on my talk page here and here if anyone is concerned and would like to check those discussions. (There was a weird quirk with the WISIWYG editor interface which did leave parts of the reference to my article in bold italics, but I sorted that out for this entry by retyping it.)
 * Removed material that was grossly WP:UNDUE since the article is about the outvasion, not the history of the term
 * and also seems to have been added mainly to plug a book by the editor who added the material, and used his own book as a source *four* times in the text, even making sure his own book was listed four times, in bold text to boot, in the reference list.

Anyway, hopefully none of this proves important to the future of this page, but I thought I'd cover it! Alarichall (talk) 19:21, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
