I'm sure you will get an official welcome later; I just wanted to thank you for the helpful edits at [[alliterative verse]]. So there's a new official standard orthography for Old Norse? I must learn of this. [[User:Ihcoyc|Smerdis of Tlön]] 01:37, 25 May 2004 (UTC)
Hi,<br>
I'm not entirely sure about the use of 'non-standard' characters. [[Wikipedia:Special characters]] seems to indicated that using HTML named character enities is better than using HTML numeric entities. I'm not sure if that answers your question.

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current [[WP:ACE2015|Arbitration Committee election]]. The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia [[WP:RFAR|arbitration process]]. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[WP:ARBPOL|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to [[WP:ACE2015/C|review the candidates' statements]] and submit your choices on [[Special:SecurePoll/vote/398|the voting page]].

:ǫ appears as correctly for me in [[Mozilla]], but not in [[Internet Explorer]] (where it is a box). Some of the wikis, such as [[:fr:]], use [[UTF-8]], while others, such as [[:en:]], use [[ISO-8859-1]]. Some browsers aren't able to display all characters properly. That's about all I know.

The thing about [[Beowulf]] in [[Norse Saga]] is not so important. I was slightly flying in the dark when I wrote it. The style is saga-ish, celebrating the Germanic warrior code, even if it is not ''technically'' a Norse saga..
[[User:Dino|dino]] 22:06, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
:Saga-ish, certainly, but apart from its not ''being'' a saga it isn't ''Norse'' either. If Beowulf is on a page dedicated to Norse sagas, why not the [[Iliad]]? [[User:Io|Io]] 22:21, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

One can do this: <font color="red"><b>─┼─</b></font> , by adding...
<nowiki><font color="red"><b>&*#9472;&*#9532;&*#9472;</b></font></nowiki> (remove the asterisks)
...but unless you figure out how to change the background colour, you're stuck with a cross on a (probably) white background (depends on user's selected background colour). Windows' "character map" program (usually in Start, Programs, Accessories, or Start, Programs, Accessories, System tools) allows you to browse the characters available. The number shown at the bottom of the program is in [[hexidecimal]]/base16, you need to use a calculator to convert to decimal/base10.

== Article Licensing ==
Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the [[Creative Commons]] Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s or into the [[public ___domain]] if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the [[GFDL]], but it allows '''other projects''', such as [[WikiTravel]], to use our articles. Since you are among the [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|top 2000]] Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
*[[User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ|Multi-Licensing FAQ]] - Lots of questions answered
*[[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|Multi-Licensing Guide]]
*[[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|Free the Rambot Articles Project]]
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates|Template messages/User namespace]]. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public ___domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''". If you only prefer using the [[GFDL]], I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''[[User talk:Ram-Man|talk page]]'''. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new comment]| [[User talk:Ram-Man|talk)]]
==Old Norse Names==
I have reworked the names of the poems in [[Poetic Edda]], formerly [[Elder Edda]], to fit with the conventions tentatively established at [[Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28Old_Norse/Old_Icelandic/Old_English%29]] and am informing those who have commented on such things in the past. I hope what I have done pleases you. I intend increasingly to go through with standardizing names as indicated, unless there really are objections. It is time the mess was cleaned up, following some convention or other. Please reply at [[Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28Old_Norse/Old_Icelandic/Old_English%29]] if you have any feelings on the matter, especially if they are negative. I don't have any great preference, but want to get something started to clear up the maze of redirects and strange spellings that currently afflict the Norse mythology articles.

== Norse mythology naming convention vote notice ==
A new [[Wikipedia_talk:Naming conventions (Norse mythology)|proposal on the representation of Norse mythology names]] is now up for a vote. Some people object to it on the grounds that it would use non-English characters in some article titles. It would be interesting to hear your view since you've commented on related votes in the past. - [[User:Haukurth|Haukur Þorgeirsson]] 00:51, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
== Glottal stop in Icelandic ==
I agree. I think I personally often use a glottal stop in Icelandic and I think many people do. I don't know about recent research about this - I have vague memories of seeing it in some phonetics book somewhere.
But when does it occur? I just asked [[User:Arndisdunja]] to read "Esjan er ágæt" aloud and she did it without any glottal stops. So where do we use them? - [[User:Haukurth|Haukur Þorgeirsson]] 21:28, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
:As for my formal education I'm about halfway through with a BA in linguistics at the UoI. More importantly I'm just interested in this sort of thing and tend to read up on it. - [[User:Haukurth|Haukur Þorgeirsson]] 21:29, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
I think preaspiration is definitely an [h]. I once tried a few experiments in recording words with preaspiration in them and playing them backwards. If you record "tott" it sounds just about the same when you play it backwards so I'm convinced [thOht] is a reasonably accurate phonetic representation.
One of my professors at the UoI said that English had a tendency to include some sort of glottal stop before certain consonants. For example "rot" might have a glottal sound before the final consonant. He said that this might be part of the explanation why Icelanders tend to use preaspiration in words like that when speaking English. - [[User:Haukurth|Haukur Þorgeirsson]] 21:44, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
== List of Icelandic poets ==
Good stuff, Io. The following is a list of our countrymen who have articles in Britannica but - scandalously - still lack Wikipedia articles:
*[[Bjarni Vigfússon Thorarensen]]
*[[Bólu-Hjálmar]]
*[[Guðmundur Kamban]]
*[[Eysteinn Ásgrímsson]]
*[[Eggert Ólafsson]]
*[[Jakob Thorarensen]]
*[[Jóhann Sigurjónsson]]
*[[Jóhannes Bjarni Jónasson]]
*[[Jón Þorkelsson Vídalín]]
*[[Kristmann Guðmundsson]]
Those might be a good place to start.
Since you seem to be very active these days and you're constantly suggesting some project or other to me - Icelandic morphology etc. - I wonder if you'd consider starting some sort of Wikiproject about Old Norse and Icelandic matters. It might be nice to select an article every week or fortnight or something to collaborate on. - [[User:Haukurth|Haukur]] 20:55, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
== Morphology ==
I think it's a good idea but I don't really have any Icelandic grammar books out here in London. I might pick up some of them when I go home for Christmas so maybe sometime in the new year.
I'm currently working on articles related to the Norse exploration of North-America. I'm very confused by the different nomenclature that seems to be in use for the texts in question. It seems that [[Grænlendinga saga]] (which I'm preparing an article on) is sometimes called "Eiríks saga" and that [[Eiríks saga rauða]] is sometimes split into "Eiríks saga" and "Þorfinns saga karlefnis". Then there is a [[Grænlendinga þáttr]] which is quite distinct from either and yet [[Grænlendinga saga]] is itself so short that it is sometimes referred to as a "þáttr" or even as "Grænlendinga þáttr". It's all very confusing. I'm working mostly from web sources and I wish I had the manuscript texts of [[Flateyjarbók]] and [[Hauksbók]] at hand. - [[User:Haukurth|Haukur]] 21:19, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
: For [[Hauksbók]]- Eysteinn has some of it available online at his main website. Are you looking for manuscript images/pictures, or transcriptions of the manuscripts for both of those works?

I'm already there :)
The Sagnanet has some manuscript images but not of the oldest manuscript. The Árni Magnússon institute does have images of Flateyjarbók but the resolution is so bad that they're not really readable - it's difficult enough anyhow. - [[User:Haukurth|Haukur]] 21:38, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
== Using English ==
The English Wikipedia frowns upon discussions in native languages. They want everyone to be able to follow the discussions, and I understand that point of view. But if you are discussing a topic that is clearly only accessible to "specialists" in the first place, it should OK to give citations and references in the original and drop names without explanation, shouldn't it? Cheers [[User:Io|Io]] 20:31, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, surely. If someone joins in on the conversation and asks for translations we will supply them. - [[User:Haukurth|Haukur]] 20:32, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
::I'd like to make distinction:
::* "user talk" pages - OK (of course: if the user understands) - example: [[user talk:Miskin#Ρε συ, μιλάς ποδανά?]]
::* pages in other [[wikipedia:namespace|namespace]]s - not OK - example: [[Talk:List of Icelandic language poets#Pontus rímur]]: it would've been better to conduct the talk in Icelandic on a user talk page. It's always possible to link to a "user talk" page from such article talk page, but as such the talk is of few value for the English wikipedia at large unless any wikipedian mastering that language can follow.
::Traditionally, wikipedia has no niches only accessible to "specialists": talk pages are intended to facilitate communications between specialists and non-specialists. Using language that is not intelligible by anyone who happens to pass by is not a good idea, IMHO. This does not only happen w.r.t. ''languages'', e.g. also for highly specialised scientific topics. Take for instance a look at [[Talk:Pebble bed reactor]]: although the topic is highly ''specialised'', talk can be followed by specialists and non-specialists alike. Be assured the same topics on that talk page could've been treated in a way that only "specialists" could follow, but that's not the way it was done.
::Re. ''citations and references'' - maybe indeed full translation of a quote/citation/reference on a talk page is not always necessary, but maybe best to indicate in English at least what you intend to make clear by the quote, why it is there in the first place.

The issue is about [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names)]]. You have as much right to comment and contribute to it as anyone despite your modesty.

Gaman að sjá þig skjóta upp kollinum á nýjan leik :) Ég er enn við sama heygarðshornið. Skrifaði reyndar loksins grein um skáldkonu, [[Steinunn Finnsdóttir|Steinunni Finnsdóttur]], eftir að hafa skrifað tugi greina um karlkyns skáld. [[User:Haukurth|Haukur]] 17:23, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

==Icelandic==
Hey, thanks for the praise about the Icelandic grammar article, I’ve just started to learn the language and I was worried that I may have made some big errors. Thanks for the encouragement, much appreciated. Now perhaps a native Icelander could expand it a bit ;-). I must say, I was quite thrilled to learn that it had been translated to the Spanish Wikipedia as well! [[User:Max Naylor|Max Naylor]] 13:40, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
===Re: Icelandic===
To answer your question, I’m learning Icelandic because I’m a Sigur Rós fan, and also, I hope to one day travel to and perhaps live in Iceland. Plus languages fascinate me. I hope I can learn the language nearly as good as a native one day—although I’ve heard that it’s one of the hardest languages to learn, I have really run into any trouble apart from the vowel shifts. Anyway, thanks again for the encouragement! [[User:Max Naylor|Max Naylor]] 12:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
===Re: Your message===
The thing is Io, I’m bored with Britain. I know all that’s worth knowing about it. I’ve seen all of London’s sights. Plus our country has a tonne of problems. I’ve long wanted to ‘escape’, and maybe one day I’ll be able to. It’s not like I hate Britain, I just admire the Icelandic way of life. Plus, you’ve got to look at Wikipedia’s coverage of each of the countries—there is much less information on Iceland than Great Britain on Wikipedia, and I think there’s so much to tell. Plus, Sigur Rós do occasionally sing in Icelandic, ''Glósóli'', ''Hoppípolla'' and ''Hey Sátan'' to name but three examples. :-þ [[User:Max Naylor|Max Naylor]] 17:39, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

==Language proficiency==
Well, I have to say, your English is nearly flawless. You have a clear understanding of its grammar, orthography and lexicon, and you can contribute professionally and clearly with a variety of specialist terms. However—and please don’t take this the wrong way—you come across as a little arrogant sometimes (you’re probably swearing in Icelandic under your breath right now), obviously not intentionally I hasten to add, but perhaps this is just me as a Brit talking (we are overly and unnecessarily polite). I also think you lack slightly some contextual and semantic awareness of words in English sometimes, for example the phrase ''which does not exclude other 'philes'' on your user page is rather suggestive, but this may just be my POV. I would suggest leaving your Babelbox at ''en-5''. Please see this constructively, I know you asked for my opinion and I am trying to give it in the most constructive manner possible.
However, I am unsure how I would judge your proficiency in other languages, not speaking any of the others in your Babelbox I am unable to make any decisions. Keep up your enthusiasm for languages! [[User:Max Naylor|Max Naylor]] 14:16, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
:Oh, whilst I’m here, I just wanted to inform you of a translation request I made over at [[linguistic purism in Icelandic]] from the German Wikipedia, taking a look at your Babelbox I have confidence that you will be able to make a faithful translation. If you’re interested, here’s the article that needs translating: [[de:Isländischer Sprachpurismus]]. [[User:Max Naylor|Max Naylor]] 14:19, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
==Icelandic keyboard layout==
As an Icelander, I assume you use an Icelandic keyboard layout. Erm... if you do, could you please have a brief look over the [[:Image:KB Iceland.svg|schematic]] I’ve created and check that it’s accurate, I only had a very dodgy diagram and guesswork to go on. Here’s the schematic:

== Edeko ==
You did very well, it is exact wat I was proposed to write. I don't mind that you made some ''ferbetterings''. I know my English, but sometime I don't use it very much and then it takes more time to put things on the computer. I was wandering that nothings was known on your wikipedia about Edeko, so I started the article en did a quick translation from the Dutch side.

== Frisan Dutch ==
You right, most is in Frysk (Frisian). What means ''Beztu kveðjur'', is that someting like: ''Best wish'', ''Best wish for you'' yn Frysk: ''Beste winske'', ''ik winske dy it beste''? Greatings--[[User:Anneboer|Anneboer]] 09:48, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
==Icelandic grammar==
Thanks for adding to the article Io, like you said you would. I’ve had a look over your edits and checked them for spelling and grammar, there were some minor mistakes. I have also tidied them up cosmetically a bit. I just noticed your comment on syntax on the talk page; I can see progress is slowly being made in terms of morphology and so forth, but as you say, there is still much to be done. Maybe we can encourage the Icelandic speakers on Wikipedia to contribute by requesting a peer review or putting out a notice in the next WikiProject Iceland Newsletter.
