[breyta] Stubbar

Halló Max, ertu ekki til í að slaka aðeins á með að stofna nýrra stubba? Betra væri ef þú mundir sjálfur bæta við þá stubba sem þú hefur þegar stofnað ;) Thvj 17:41, 1 júlí 2007 (UTC)

Sæll Max, ég ítreka fyrri orð mín, nú er virkilega þörf á að bæta verulega alla stubbana, sem þú hefur stofnað í gríð og erg! Thvj 13:44, 19 ágúst 2007 (UTC)

Hann skilur þetta ekki. Ég segi honum á MSN hvað málið snýst um. Málið er það að hann getur ekki skrifað ýtarlega um efnið þar sem að kunnátta hans er of lítil. Ég hef verið að hjálpa honum með málfræðina og er hann nokkuð góður, af sjálflærðum. Samt sé ég ekkert stórmál úr þessu, síðurnar verða hvort eð er gerðar, fyrr eða síðar. --Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson 15:02, 19 ágúst 2007 (UTC)

Sæll Stefán og þakka þér fyrir skýringuna. Ég tel ekki að ég hafi verið að gera "stórmál" úr einu né neinu, ég var einfaldlega að benda á að það þarf að leggja í talsverða vinnu við að bæta alla stubbana sem settir hafa verið inn síðasta sólarhring. Ég hef að veikum mætti reynt mitt besta, en betur má ef duga skal! Þú værir e.t.v. til í að aðstoða Max við að bæta sjálfur stubbana sem hann stofnaði? -- Það er veruleg þörf á því, en alls ekkert "stórmál"! Thvj 15:34, 19 ágúst 2007 (UTC)

[breyta] Just a tip

Hi, I just created a template (Snið:Yfirlestur) which will let other users know that the article is in need of copy editing. Although your Icelandic is very good considering that you are self-thought (right?) it would be nice if you added this template to your articles to makes sure someone will look them over. Thank you :) --Friðrik Bragi Dýrfjörð 4. október 2007 kl. 18:17 (UTC)

Hope I didn't discourage you from creating new articles. I don't really mind, especially if you add that template to the article, so please continue editing and to practice your Icelandic :) --Friðrik Bragi Dýrfjörð 4. október 2007 kl. 18:45 (UTC)

Have you seen this website: Beygingarlýsing íslensks nútímamáls? Try writing skoskur into the search engine, it should give you a list of all possible forms (cases, gender, inflection and degrees of comparison). You can also type in nounds, verbs and etc. --Friðrik Bragi Dýrfjörð 4. október 2007 kl. 19:08 (UTC)

Just another tip, you can install an Icelandic dictionary on Firefox if you are using that browser. Hope this helps. --Friðrik Bragi Dýrfjörð 21. janúar 2008 kl. 22:11 (UTC)

[breyta] Your articles

I regret to tell you that I am not sure that what you are doing has any value. Your Icelandic is no better than what can be generated with machine translation. A significant part of your sentences are not even understandable so that to clean up the articles we have to go to the English Wikipedia and try to figure out what you were probably trying to say. Haukur 4. október 2007 kl. 23:10 (UTC)

I was thinking you could write your articles in your namespace, viz., you would write articles like Westminsterhöllin under the name Notandi:Max Naylor/Westminsterhöllin, you could then create a list of articles in your namespace and those who would like to help you will fix the articles and move them to the main namespace. --Friðrik Bragi Dýrfjörð 5. október 2007 kl. 13:55 (UTC)

You are at it again, writing articles which require so heavy clean up that their value is very questionable. Would you please consider the suggestion of Friðrik above, write the articles in your namespace and then if somebody comes along and cleans them up they can move them to their proper place. Also, may I offer an Icelandic language tip of the day. Unlike English, the word order in Icelandic is such that the verb always comes in the second place in the sentence. So we do not say "Á ensku sýslurnar eru kallað counties" but rather "Á ensku eru sýslurnar kallaðar counties." The first piece of this sentence is the clause "Á ensku" so the next one had better be the verb. Thus "Því að breska heimsveldið og Bandaríkin enska er talað á heimsvísu." should be "Vegna breska heimsveldisins og Bandaríkjanna er enska töluð á heimsvísu". Here the first part of the sentence is the clause "Vegna breska heimsveldisins og Bandaríkjanna" and the verb comes in second place. Stefán 15. desember 2007 kl. 22:08 (UTC)

Sorry that my contributions are so poor, I don’t mean to cause any harm, but it seems that there is so little input into this Wikipedia that something needs to be done in order for any significant progress to be made. The kind of thing I'm talking about is the lack of key articles, e.g Norður-Írland which I only just recently created. I understand that it is a lot of work to cleanup my more than shoddy Icelandic, but I'm off to university next year where I will take up a study of Icelandic proper. Thank you, and sorry if I have upset anyone with my actions. Maxí 15. desember 2007 kl. 22:40 (UTC)

Maxí, you don't have to be sorry that your icelandic writing is poor -- We completely understand! As you should remember, we have many times asked you NOT to post new articles on is.wikipedia! If you continue ignoring our request, you leave us no other choice than to block you temporarely from is.wikipedia. Consider this as a final slap-on-the-wrist ;o) Regards, Thvj 17. desember 2007 kl. 13:36 (UTC)

OK... as hard as it will be I will stop until my Icelandic improves. But you can bet on my contributions when I've studied Icelandic at university. It involves a year at Háskóli Íslands. If I’m not good enough by the end of that year, I don’t know that I ever will be. Message received. Maxí 17. desember 2007 kl. 14:32 (UTC)

I came here to ask you to put Notandi:Maxí/Listi yfir einvalda Englands in the main namespace (perhaps with a cleanup notice) since although it's still mostly in English I don't think there's any reason we can't have incomplete works in progress in the main namespace.

Then I saw this discussion. I haven't reviewed all your contributions but I don't think we should be discouraging all contributions from users such as yourself who aren't enganging in vandalism and are trying to make useful contributions. And furthermore I disagree with the content standard being enforced on the main namespace. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 17. janúar 2008 kl. 17:54 (UTC)

[breyta] Please attention in the speedy deletions

Hi Maxi. I see that you candidate the article Johannes Bjarki Tomasson for the speedy deletion. The writer, User:Jóhannesbjarki, has the same name of the article. In these times, please be attentive. Look at the user name of the writer and shift the page to the user page. Now, candidate for speedy deletion the redirect. Don't have haste :) Marina (msg) 5. apríl 2008 kl. 12:32 (UTC)

Hi Marina. Names of articles in the mainspace should not redirect to user pages, and so the page Johannes Bjarki Tomasson needs to be deleted. Maxí 5. apríl 2008 kl. 12:39 (UTC)

I know. Shifting the page, a redirect will stay in the ns=0. But if you candidate it for the speedy deletion after shifting it's all ok. Have a nice afternoon, Marina (msg) 5. apríl 2008 kl. 12:52 (UTC)
