To start a new discussion section, please click here First powered Icelandic boat[edit ]Members may be interested in the discussion in WT:SHIPS about whether Stanley (boat) meets WP:GNG. The stub is now sourced and there is more content at is:Stanley (bátur), sourced to this article. Unfortunately, GoogleTranslate doesn't seem to cope with Icelandic very idiomatically. Can anyone here assist with this? Davidships (talk) 10:31, 24 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ] User script to detect unreliable sources[edit ]Main page: User:Headbomb/unreliable
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web }}, {{cite journal }} and {{doi }}. The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed. Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable. This is a one time notice and can't be unsubscribed from.

A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell }}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

Having recently read the book Burial Rites based on her life, and struggled to understand this word, I'm fairly sure that's not the best translation for an early 19th-century house. I've edited the article to give an inter-wiki link and added "((the main living space of the house)", but someone more familiar with Iceland and Icelandic could certainly do better. Over to you.

Althing: Outdated template, outdated articles
[edit ]{{Members of the Althing }} is outdated and hasn't been updated with the results of the 2021 election, nor with other changes to the composition of Iceland's parliament since, so it is not really useful in this state. As, by the way, are quite a lot of articles about members of the Althing, for example I just updated Þuríður Backman which still described her as a a current member of the Althing, though she served only until 2013. I'm already trying to keep articles on Iceland's politics and politicians current in German-language Wikipedia as best as I can and don't have the time and energy to do this here in English WP as well, so I'm just pointing this out hoping that members of the local community are willing to help. Maybe a template like {{Members of the Althing }} should rather be deleted if it can't be kept current and can't serve its purpose? Gestumblindi (talk) 16:58, 26 May 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
- Template updated. As for the articles, I do not have the time either. Snævar (talk) 15:19, 27 May 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
- Thanks for updating the template, Snævar! Although I think that "As of 25 September 2021" isn't quite correct if you use https://www.althingi.is/thingmenn/althingismenn/ as your source, because that is the list of the current alþingismenn, and there have been some changes since the 2021 elections. For example, "as of 25 September 2021", Helga Vala Helgadóttir would have been a member of Alþingi, but she resigned in 2023 and Dagbjört Hákonardóttir got her seat, so Helga Vala isn't in the current list. In German Wikipedia's list de:Liste der Mitglieder des Althing 2021, I noted the changes in the "Kommentar" column. Gestumblindi (talk) 21:42, 28 May 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon
[edit ]Hello WikiProject Iceland:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024 !
Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

Could someone knowledgeable fact check this stub?
[edit ]I think he meets WP:N but am hesistant to write much about him since I'm unfamiliar and cannot read Icelandic. Rjjiii (talk) 04:09, 8 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- What is now in the article is correct. His bibliography could be expanded, he seems to have written a decent amount of books. Alvaldi (talk) 13:35, 8 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- Thanks, I really appreciate the feedback and the edits! Rjjiii (talk) 15:02, 8 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Icelandic name
[edit ]Hello. Here is Stefán Teitur Þórðarson, an up-and-coming footballer from a startling dynasty of players (check out the "Personal Life" section!). The article has the usual "Icelandic name" template, but doesn't address the difference between Þórðarson
and Thórdarson
: it simply uses both forms, as indeed do multiple sources. Does it matter? What do we usually do in these cases? Is there an argument for consistency within the article? – Or maybe an argument for INconsistency, reflecting real life! It might be that the article is already perfect and no change is needed. Do please educate me. Thank you, best to all, DBaK (talk) 18:17, 11 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- Hi @DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered. For Icelandic names, the person is referred by his given name, in this case Stefán (or Stefán Teitur). Thordarson is a transliteration of Þórðarson due to Þ not currently being in the english alphabet (it was in the past and is part of the Latin characters) The person should not be referred to as Thordarson or Þórðarson in the article. Alvaldi (talk) 18:37, 11 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- Thanks! So ALL of those appearances of Thordarson and Þórðarson should simply come out? DBaK (talk) 18:41, 11 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- OK done it, thanks. I've also done Template:Preston North End F.C. squad which is probably going to get my arse kicked for it "not being a proper surname" etc etc. But worth a try I think? Cheers! DBaK (talk) 18:49, 11 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
