Talk:Iceland (supermarket)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The slogan is "That's why mums go to Iceland" - I just saw an ad on TV. But who is the celebrity? Is it a pop singer? Adambisset 18:58, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Its former pop star Kerry Katona

Maybe that's the slogan they use now, but there is no doubt the slogan they used back in the day was "That's why Mum's gone to Iceland". 74.65.39.59 18:33, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Still is - I went to an Iceland this morning and this slogan is still plastered everywhere (April 2007)

[edit] Copyright issues

A lot of this article is directly copied from the Iceland website: http://www.iceland.co.uk/ice/instore.nsf/(websearch)/theicelandstory as indicated by the fact that there are still asterisks inserted which do not relate to anything within the article, but rather to notes on the original page. Is it possible that Iceland have approved this copy? Tafkam 14:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Almost certainly not. If it was, there'd be some WP:OTRS tag on this page or something else saying that it was legit. As it is I've removed it for its blatancy. 68.39.174.238 19:55, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name change

It's my understanding that the overall name "Iceland.co.uk" was dropped as a result of the dotcom bubble bursting - the suggestion being that associating a company so totally with t'internet around 2001-2 was stock market poison.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Iceland Shop Logo.gif

Image:Iceland Shop Logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Iceland International Stores

I started out on this search knowing, without question, that there was an Iceland supermarket on the road between Mijas costa and Mijas pueblo in the Costa del sol in Spain. While merely "knowing" isn't good enough, it does permit of a longer search and of asking the company about non-UK/Ireland stores. This is what I was sent by email upon asking the company directly through its website:

I can confirm that Iceland do have a number of franchises overseas. However, we do not hold this information for these stores here. Please feel free therefore to visit www.overseas.es for further information.

I have fixed the internet address from the preceding paragraph to [1]. Click the "Store Locater" tab and, eventually 4 stores in Spain (notwithstanding the text disclaimer at the top of the page referring only to stores in Tenerife) will appear on a map of Spain. ៛ Bielle (talk) 15:11, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
