[edit] Icelandic football

Hi. Thanks for your contributions to Iceland topics. As you might have noticed, I have contributed to Icelandic football. I thought I'd share a list of Icelandic football people who I think ought to be covered on Wikipedia.

A (somewhat outdated) list of Icelandic footballers with most caps can be found here. In addition, Wikipedia needs an article about Fram Reykjavík. Perhaps, if you get the time, you could cover some of these subjects? :)

Yah, I'll see what I can do for those articles in the coming weeks. Thanks for visiting. --Stalfur 00:06, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
I have listed these at the Icelandic Wikipedians' notice board/Requested articles --Stalfur 09:49, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Turkmenbashi

Hi,

I saw that you edited the Icelandic version of Saparmurat Niyazov. Can you please fix a little something: there's a link at the end that points to gundogar.org. That site is not written in Turkmen, it's written in Russian and English. Could you please fix that? I don't know Icelandic, which is quite unfortunate, as i really love Icelandic music - gusGus, Múm, Sigur Rós, Björk etc...

Oh, and if we're on the subject - what is the meaning of name Múm? :) --Amir E. Aharoni 19:42, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

  • I have fixed the language indicator at the link, thanks for the correction. As for Múm it does not have a meaning in icelandic, the closest word to it is Múmínálfarnir which is an icelandic transliteration of the Moomin. --Stalfur 23:09, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Icelandic/Old English

Hello,

I just signed up here. What an interesting interface...it will be fun to figure out.

I decided to contact you because I saw you had posted a few things on the Anglo-Saxon Wiki, and that you are also an Icelander. I have a degree in English Language and did much of my work in Anglo-Saxon and Medieval English. Strangely enough, I was initially drawn to Anglo-Saxon because I love Icelandic and wanted to learn it so badly. I couldn't find a way to learn Icelandic at the time, so I started Anglo-Saxon, sort of as a gateway. That was 5 years ago.

Since then i've been able to learn a little Icelandic, although not as much as I'd like. The Anglo-Saxon has helped me so much with the grammar, if only because there are certain concepts that are really hard to understand for those of us who don't already use them (for instance, noun cases).

Anyway, thought I'd say hi, since you mentioned being able to read OE just from knowing Icelandic. I have the same issue, although almost completely backwards!

Happy new year! Elizabeth

Glad to hear read it! I've been proofreading an Anglo-Saxon to English dictionary over at Distributed Proofreaders Europe (each page takes half an hour or so, try to be methodical) and it's an interesting process, seeing words which I can relate to and then others that are way off the mark compared to modern Icelandic. --Stalfur 03:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Albert_Gudmundsson.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Albert_Gudmundsson.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then you need to specify who owns the copyright, please. If you got it from a website, then a link to the website where it was taken from with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 05:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plug-in

May I request you to e-mail me the source-code for your plug-in? I am really interested in it. I did a similar project creating Indian towns and cities based on census data. Regards, Ganeshk (talk) 03:16, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Will do. --Stalfur 15:35, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Willum_Thor_Thorsson.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Willum_Thor_Thorsson.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 19:16, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
