[edit] Spelling of Article Titles
Hello Hjortur,
Thank you for posting recent articles. I'd like to give you advice on making your articles easier for readers to find. If you write the article title using only the 26 letters of the English alphabet (without diacritical marks such as umlauts), then readers of the English Wikipedia will be able to find the articles without difficulty. Within the article, of course, you'll have the opportunity to spell it using the symbols of your language. This is especially important because many readers of Wikipedia do not know how to type some of the symbols you are using in your article titles. (I don't know how to type them.)
Also, you can create "redirect" pages to help people get to your article. This is very easy to do. Simply type
- REDIRECT name
and replace name with the title of a Wikipedia article in double brackets (not in italics).
I edit many articles on Japanese people, so I face the same problem!
Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia.

[edit] spelling?
hi hjortur,
i´m intending to write an short article on the EIK(m-l), but i´m unsure of the spelling in Icelandic. Would "Einingasamtök Kommunista (m-l)" be correct? --Soman 22:12, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Your image
Hi! Thanks for uploading Image:Arnalds r.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) Thanks so much, – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 00:52, Oct 15, 2004 (UTC)
