Wikimania 2010 could be coming to Stockholm!
I'm leaving you a note as you may be interested in this opportunity.

People from all six Nordic Wiki-communities (sv, no, nn, fi, da and is) are coordinating a bid for Wikimania 2010 in Stockholm. I'm sending you a message to let you know that this is occurring, and over the next few months we're looking for community support to make sure this happens! See the bid page on meta and if you like such an idea, please sign the "supporters" list at the bottom. Tack (or takk), and have a wonderful day! Mike H. Fierce! 09:49, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Translation of a short story
Hi! So, you are from Iceland, great! I hope, you could help me. I'm a Hungarain wikipedian, my name is Norbert Kiss. I wrote a really short story and now I have 121 translations about it, even in faroese, but only the Icelandic is that European language, which is still missing. Could you make me an Icelandic version?

The English version is here (but you can find all the versions here):

Myself
Ancient are my people to whom I belong, we are ancient ones, on this whole world. I speak an ancient language, the language of my own. I live in an ancient land, I’ve never lived elsewhere, and I belong here. This is me, myself. I am alone in the big world. I am alone, my nation passed away a long time ago, only I stayed. I speak my ancient language alone.

I am wandering on the road called life, I eat my bread and I drink my water alone. It is me who writes my books and I am the one who reads them. I climb the mountains behind my house; me I get the fish from the river which is in front of my house. Every day I go up to the hills to think and to meditate alone, only me on my own. While I was away, I have seen other people; some of them came to my land. I was good to them. I gave them food and drink, they could rest in my houses.

And now... strangers tell me, when they come here, what I should do, what I’m allowed to do. But here I am the landlord, I am the owner, I am the one who is at home. This is my ancient home, where my fathers and their fathers lived. This is my home, my land; I live here on my own.

I hope, you could help me. - Eino81 (talk) 10:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Hæ! :) It's good to see, that there are a lot of people in the world, who know a little Hungarian language :) Unfortunately my Íslensku is not so good, although I have a text book and a Bíblian. I had no time to learn it. But I like it. I had once an "Iceland-loving period", at that time my name was Norbertur Júliusson (my father is Julius). - Eino81 (talk) 06:30, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Question & translation
Hi, I contact you because I know you are from Iceland. I would like to know if you have ever heard about a doggerel wich talks about a snail, o if you know somebody who knows it. Apart from this, I would like to have some word traslated in icelandic from you:

snail; doggerel; horn; I kill you.

Sorry for the disturbance, I hope you can help me (I'm trying to help an italian anthropological research). Bye! Mparu (talk) 00:36, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem.


 * snail-snigill
 * doggerel- leirburður
 * I kill you – Ég drep þig

You'll have to be a bit more specific about horn. The word horn is used for a variety of things in English but these different things all have different words in Icelandic. I'll give you some examples.


 * Horn (anatomy)-Horn (Yup it's the same word)
 * Horn (acoustic)-Lúður (Multiple words for different things. Bullhorn for an example is Gjallarhorn)
 * Horn (car)-flauta

I've never heard about a doggerel about a snail so sorry. --Jóhann Heiðar Árnason (talk) 13:27, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I meant horn (anatomy), so that's perfect; thank you! Mparu (talk) 18:34, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Félag Anti-Rasista
A tag has been placed on Félag Anti-Rasista requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  Btilm 03:32, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Eyjafjallajökull
I noticed that you are from Iceland and have edited this article. Could you clear up if Eyjafjallajökull is the name of the glacier as the article says or the name of the volcano as List of volcanoes in Iceland says. Perhaps there is no difference. also the article fails to explain why flights into Reykjavik are affected - is it close to the volcano or is the eruption just that big? 75.41.110.200 (talk) 17:06, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Eyjafjallajökull refers to both the glacier and the volcano beneath it. When a volcano erupts it's standard procedure to cancel all flights and to close all airports within a 120 nautical mile radius of the eruption (Source in Icelandic). I don't know why they do that but I would guess it has something to do with the ash from the eruption being able to clog up turbines or engines and therefore making it hazardous to fly through.--Jóhann Heiðar Árnason (talk) 19:44, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

African literature template
Hello there, I was just wondering why you're changing the title of the Africa topic template on various literature articles. The only difference that I can see is that now the template no longer links to the parent article (which is not an improvement). Is there a specific reason to make the change that I'm not seeing? Regards, -- Beloved Freak  10:21, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello, I changed The title from Literature of Africa into African literature. English is not my first language but still I felt that African Literature was better wording than Literature of Africa. The template not linking to the parent article is a mistake on my behalf but fortunately it's something that's easy to fix. I'll have it done in a couple of minutes.--Jóhann Heiðar Árnason (talk) 10:58, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for explaining; that makes sense & now it looks fine with the additional change. -- Beloved Freak  11:06, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Template:International Council for Science on Royal Society of New Zealand
This is a huge template that you're added to a great number of pages. Could you please make it less obtrusive by hiding it by default? Also the page International_Council_for_Science now has duplicates, with the same info in both the the page and included template. Stuartyeates (talk) 05:57, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 09:17, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of DaGeek


The article DaGeek has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-notable social network site. Both links are dead, and I can find no sources elsewhere to demonstrate notability."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Reyk YO! 17:45, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
