[edit] Flag colors

I just found [1] while doing a Google search. Honestly, I do not know how to get the SCOTDIC colors mentioned there, but could anyone email the PM's office to see what other color codes are possible? If so, I will us the codes to draw the flag accurately. Thanks. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 08:03, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photos for articles

Hello All - I have uploaded ~260 high res photos from a November trip around the ringroad (here). I have others that I haven't cleaned up yet, that include photos of just about every town on Route 1.

I'll be adding them to articles eventually, but if you want to dive in and add them, please do! de Bivort 06:19, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Current news for the portal

Hello, I'm currently working on the Iceland Portal. Could someone find some recent headlines for the news section? It needs to be updated. Thanks a lot — [sd] 22:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question about "Paul Oscar"

Hi, the article "Paul Oscar" is about the Icelandic pop singer, songwriter and disc jockey Páll Óskar Hjálmtýsson, who is known internationally as Páll Óskar and Paul Oscar. Is it more appropriate to refer to him in the article as "Paul Oscar" (as I've done), or simply as "Paul"? Do reply on the article's talk page. Thanks. — Cheers, JackLee talk 02:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright

Can anyone establish Icelandic law in relation to copyright, so that we can know what images (eg. old photos, images of paintings etc) are elegible for uploading to WP? This info is available for several countries, especially the USA, at Wikipedia:Copyrights, but some Iceland info would be a great help. Apologies if this is already somewhere on these pages - I'd be grateful to be pointed in the right direction. Otherwise, perhaps someone could add a summary at the WP copyright page just mentioned?

[edit] Question about Joey Gudjonsson

Does exist any possibility to know is the person who makes a biography? I'm very interested to know who is the person who writes Joey Gudjonsson's biography, and I also would like to have contact with that person. Contact me at missjinx@gmail.com . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.56.68.162 (talk) 20:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Go to the article and click on the 'history' tab. That will give you the record of contributors to the article. Haukur (talk) 21:13, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help with referencing Icelandic press

Could anyone please help me find references to this WIPO case ("Wal-mart sues Icelandic artist") in the Icelandic press? It's for the article Lárus List. I have been led to believe the story has been covered quite a bit there. TreveXtalk 03:05, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Apparently it's been covered in Fréttablaðið. I can't speak Icelandic! TreveXtalk 03:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Found a couple of references (see article) but would appreciate any other references at all on the artist and the case. TreveXtalk 03:22, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] WikiProject Iceland: Articles of unclear notability

Hello,

there are currently 13 articles in the scope of this project which are tagged with notability concerns. I have listed them here. (Note: this listing is based on a database snapshot of 12 March 2008 and may be slightly outdated.)

I would encourage members of this project to have a look at these articles, and see whether independent sources can be added, whether the articles can be merged into an article of larger scope, or possibly be deleted. Any help in cleaning up this backlog is appreciated. For further information, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Notability.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the Notability project page or on my personal talk page. (I'm not watching this page however.) Thanks! --B. Wolterding (talk) 16:33, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Iceland index

I've expanded List of Iceland-related topics and due to the large number of links, have reformatted the list to be consistent with most other lists in that set (see List of Germany-related topics, List of China-related topics, List of Canada-related topics, etc. The Transhumanist    02:44, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of basic Iceland topics

A new topic-based list has been created for Iceland, using the standard structure for country basic topic lists. Provides a topical map of Iceland subjects, and shows coverage pretty well and key areas that need development. I hope you find it useful. The Transhumanist    02:44, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] An Invitation from the Philippine Wikipedia Community

[edit] Who were her parents?

I am writing a cited biography on Vigdis and I need to know who her parents were. Any of you Wiki fans out there no who they are. I know the Dad is Finnboga, then his patronymic name but....PS: Pay attention, I am just a KID that has a World Fair project. Nothing too fancy

[edit] WP:FAR nomination of Surtsey

I have nominated Surtsey because it does not seem to meet the featured articled criteria 1.(c), 2.(c), and 4. It is quite short, and is not of comparable length to current FA's. It is very under-referenced, and some of them aren't in the {{cite web}} form at all, just in <ref> tags. I do not believe that this fits the FA criteria any longer. You are welcome to comment at the review. Dreamafter (talk) 22:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
