Edit Summaries

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

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.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

UK Motorway Signs

Hi Maxi,

Was wondering if your wikiproject/group for UK motorways had considered splitting all the signs into individual parts, e.g.

[ sign-left ] [ motorway-icon ] [ M ] [ 4 ] [ sign-right ]

each as its own SVG. I was considering doing this work gradually. Just wanted to see if your community had considered / rejected this plan for whatever reason.

Thanks. User:Atanamir (My login isn't working right for some reason atm). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.134.139.72 (talk) 18:26, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

time to sort out the icesave / debt repayment / loan agreement dispute finally

hey there, this is just a bulk message inviting you to re-think the topic as was discussed more than 6 months ago and is still unresolved. feel free to jump here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Icelandic_debt_repayment_referendum,_2010#Time_to_settle_the_title_dispute.3F and help figure out how we can end this conclusively this time. --Lotsofmagnets (talk) 02:54, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Just a hi again

Hi!

There has been a "very long time, very long no sea" ;-), (or should it be "long time, no ocean?")

Anyway, since we last talked I've discovered quite a few things, most importantly the use of torrents and Dropbox.

That allows me to share any and all of my electronic books.

If you're interested, drop me line. I will need your current email-address, so that I can create a Dropbox-folder and invite you. There is a way to send me a mail in the Wikipedia context, and I would not give your address to anyone. Of course, since you would be accessing my Dropbox, you would automatically have my address, and I would appreciate if you kept it for yourself. So, what are you're interests today. I believe I have Stefán Einarsson in pdf someplace. That should interest you. Your reward would be anything of linguistic interest which I possess, and that library has grown to some quite impressive proportions. (Including some very interesting and up to date books on Indo-European.)

PS: If you're still involved with the development of the Icelandic grammar article, you might want to take a look at its Danish counterpart (Islandsk sprog).

It's almost entirely written by me, but I'm too lazy to translate it. But there's a great number of inflection tables and in the text and surprisingly enough, in the footnotes, you'll find quite a bit of extra information. Well, you said you are interested in Danish, so you brought it upon yourself. :-)

Writing styles

Hello!

I've just come across http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Handwriting.png and wanted to know if these represent a particular style. If not, where did you learn to write like this? It's very nice...

Dougluce (talk) 19:29, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

The top line is supposed to represent cursive writing and the bottom printed writing. It’s just my own handwriting, I’ve written that way as long as I can remember :) Maxí (talk) 17:46, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Interwiki links

The links at the end of the article source [[xx:whatever]] ("interwiki links")point to the corresponding articles in other Wikipediae, not to an article in the same Wikipedia about the subject in another country. I have corrected Sign language accordingly. --Mirokado (talk) 22:38, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Image update

Hi Maxí, I saw some proposed changes at the talk page for the Viking expansion image you made a few years ago. If you'd like, can you please update the map with the fixes (highlighting Bari and the Apulia region in Italy and renaming "Spanish Kingdoms" to "Iberian kingdoms")? Thanks - M0rphzone (talk) 03:35, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Eh, forget it. I've updated it. - M0rphzone (talk) 10:51, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Hey, I just replace the auto-grouped text, with actual text, but I can't figure out how to replace the old file. here's my edits if you want to replace the old version.

Request reason:

Hello. I believe I have been blocked in error. I am an established Wikipedia editor and administrator on the Icelandic Wikipedia and have been for many years. I am getting the message that I have been blocked as my IP address is believed to be an open proxy. I am not sure why this has occurred as I don’t use any proxy serves or host any myself. I would appreciate a swift removal of the block if possible.

Accept reason:

The problem with that proxy bot is that it's not very good about following up on its blocks. Your IP range is a notoriously dynamic range, so while it's very possible the proxy was on this IP a month ago when the bot checked it, the proxy was probably assigned to another IP the following day. Anyway, I've lifted the block, sorry for the inconvenience. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 05:43, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

I can't see a block - what is the exact message you are getting (and if you are willing, the IP)? Peridon (talk) 23:24, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

I don't see how this can get unraveled without the help of a checkuser (either granting you IPBE or doing something about the IP block that is in your way), so I will call one here: {{checkuser needed}}—Kww(talk) 03:25, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

It's probably an autoblock of the IP address. Same thing happened to me. Till 03:45, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

It said I was automatically blocked by a bot. The block has now been removed, thank you. Maxí (talk) 09:00, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Revised version of your Typography_Line_Terms.svg

I made a revised version of your Typography_Line_Terms.svg but cannot seem to replace it. Can you?

Map of Iceland

Hi Maxi, I like to say that your map of Iceland is nice and I say thanks for making a wonderful map. I give the link here for other readers, [1], 213.213.139.124 (talk) 15:04, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

In addition to the praise I give you, then I would ask hat you may consider to add a few townships to the map in the next version, witch townships and for what reasons? I would like to have the townships that are listed here [2] in addition to your good selection. Where we need only Búðardalur, Patreksfjörður and Eskifjörður (I think I did not miss any), for at these places there are sýslumaður, that is part of the administration of Iceland, and there location is often used as a reference point. 213.213.139.124 (talk) 15:16, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Question about sources

In something I am writing I hope to refer to your very attractive map of Viking expansion, but I would greatly appreciate some information regarding your sources for what happened when and where. Thanks for whatever you can tell me. Eric (This is my first time into contacting contributors to Wikipedia and am unsure whether this will reach you. It is not intended as a public document.) 2601:7:2100:33B:48E5:2D47:47D0:E0C (talk) 20:39, 7 February 2015 (UTC) 2601:7:2100:33B:48E5:2D47:47D0:E0C (talk) 20:28, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
