[edit] Vandalism

86.27.28.147, 68.55.80.58, 86.27.30.119, and 86.27.16.76 have all vandalized either this page or that of Juliana Rose Mauriello so that the entries indicate that the two are having an affair. I'm sure most of these are being done by the same person. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.166.249.38 (talk • contribs).

68.55.80.58 comes back to Comcast Baltimore, the rest are non proxies. Simple slip, the user accidentaly didn't use a proxy that time. Make a abuse report with COmcast. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.184.22.228 (talk • contribs).

Welcome to Wikipedia, but this is not a general forum for discussion of the topic. This talk page is for discussion on improving the article. Kat, Queen of Typos 21:21, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Dont be so boring. People can say what they like on this discussion page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.194.250.200 (talk • contribs).

No, they can't. Wikipedia policy is that talk pages are for improving the article, not general fan discussion. Otherwise, the talk pages turn into a mess. This is not a forum. I simply and clearly stated the guidelines, and I was not rude. Kat, Queen of Typos 15:04, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

"A talk page is research for the article, and the policies that apply to articles also apply to talk pages." Also, "Keep on topic: Talk pages are not for general conversation. Keep discussions on the topic of how to improve the associated article. Irrelevant discussions are subject to removal."

[edit] Surname

It's my vague understanding that Icelandic surnames are more or less descriptive of who the father (Or, in some cases, mother) is. Seeing that Scheving seems to be of Icelandic origin, could somebody find detail on why his surname is unlike typical Icelandic people? Although, his parents, or ancestors may have immigrated, but I haven't found any detail whatsoever. 65.96.103.25 07:15, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Some Icelandic families have fixed surnames. Before 1925 Icelandic law allowed people to adopt surnames of their own choice, so Magnús's surname is not necessarily a sign of foreign ancestry. (Apparently it is not correct to refer to Icelanders by only their second names, since in most cases it is not a surname.) See Icelandic name. --GagHalfrunt 18:37, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
