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)

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?

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.

Go to

the article and click on the 'history' tab. That will give you the record of contributors to the article. Haukur (talk

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. TreveX^talk 03:05, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Apparently it's been covered in Fréttablaðið. I can't speak Icelandic! TreveX^talk 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. TreveX^talk 03:22, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

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 (Note: this listing is based on a database snapshot of 12 March 2008 and may be slightly outdated.)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

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)

I've expanded

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)

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.

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)

As you

• The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
• The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of
  a rubric
  , and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
• A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as
  described here
  .

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

I think WP Iceland could benefit from a cleanup list (as in fact almost any project could).

I requested the proposed list at User_talk:B._Wolterding. --IsFari (talk) 08:10, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

Can you guys check out

A Nordic cinema task force has been proposed at

The articles in question are listed in Category:Iceland articles missing geocoordinate data. At the time of writing, some examples included:

1. Brú
2. Grundarhverfi
3. Hauganes
4. Hraunhafnartangi
5. Litla-Hraun
6. Norðurland eystra
7. Nyrðra-Vatnalautavatn

...and there are many more, as well. At the time of posting this notice, there were 79 articles in this category needing geographical coordinates.

Why add coordinates?

By adding coordinates, a Wikipedia reader can easily view the location on a street map, nautical chart, topographic map, by satellite photo, realtime weather map, and in many other ways. Coordinate data makes an article eventually appear in various services such as Google Maps' Wikipedia overlay, Google Earth, and Wikipedia's own internal map service. Coordinate data also helps readers looking for geographically-based data, such as locations near a reference point, or related information.

How can I do it?

The articles are all marked with {{
