School IP address Attention:

This IP address, 130.208.165.5, is registered to The University of Iceland and may be shared by multiple users of an educational institution. In the case of institutions using proxy servers, this IP address may in fact represent many users at many physical computers.

For this reason a message intended for one person may be received by another. Similarly an innocent user may get blocked for another user's vandalism. If you are editing from this address and are frustrated by irrelevant messages, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself. In some cases you may temporarily be unable to create an account due to efforts to fight vandalism, in which case please read our advice on this situation.

Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking - if a block is needed, administrators should consider a soft block with the template {{schoolblock|optional comment}} as the block reason.

 Note: In the event of persistent vandalism from primary and secondary schools, anonymous editing may be disabled for up to 1 year at a time. Abuse reports may also be forwarded to your school administration for investigation in case of long-term abuse by registered users.
School staff who want to monitor vandalism from this IP address can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. For one thing, if you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!

[edit] Title

You've just started an article called Þjóðarbókhlaðan. No page links into it and it's highly unlikely anyone will ever type the name into the search box. Is there a better (ie English) name to give it for the English Wikipedia, and can you link it in. Otherwise the article is unlikely to be read! :) jguk 23:08, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)


[edit] Official language

I'd like you to point out to me exactly where in the Icelandic constitution a official language is specified. --Bjarki 16:02, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Two things to try and help you: Please don't write about yourselves and please don't remove AfD notices from articles. That'll get you blocked faster than you can say "boo" if you aren't careful. So-called "band vanity" articles aren't allowed here. When you hit the big time, that's a different story. Thanks. Lucky 6.9 17:07, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] Evolution (disambiguation)

Thanks for removing a silly edit made to Evolution (disambiguation). The best way of dealing with vandals is to follow the steps shown at Wikipedia:Vandalism, including adding a template message to their talk page and ideally clicking on the "User contributions" link in the toolbox to the left on their talk page to see what other mischief they may have been up to. Your assistance is much appreciated, .. dave souza, talk 07:30, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
