A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories. However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new Women in Green's 5th Edit-a-thon[edit]Hello WikiProject Iceland: WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Blaze The Movie Fan (talk) 01:20, 16 January 2024 (UTC) Translating "Baðstofa"[edit]In the article Agnes Magnúsdóttir this was translated as "bathroom". Having recently read the book Burial Rites based on her life, and struggled to understand this word, I'm fairly sure that's not the best translation for an early 19th-century house. I've edited the article to give an inter-wiki link and added "((the main living space of the house)", but someone more familiar with Iceland and Icelandic could certainly do better. Over to you.

Althing: Outdated template, outdated articles
[edit]{{Members of the Althing}} is outdated and hasn't been updated with the results of the 2021 election, nor with other changes to the composition of Iceland's parliament since, so it is not really useful in this state. As, by the way, are quite a lot of articles about members of the Althing, for example I just updated Þuríður Backman which still described her as a a current member of the Althing, though she served only until 2013. I'm already trying to keep articles on Iceland's politics and politicians current in German-language Wikipedia as best as I can and don't have the time and energy to do this here in English WP as well, so I'm just pointing this out hoping that members of the local community are willing to help. Maybe a template like {{Members of the Althing}} should rather be deleted if it can't be kept current and can't serve its purpose? Gestumblindi (talk) 16:58, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Template updated. As for the articles, I do not have the time either. Snævar (talk) 15:19, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for updating the template, Snævar! Although I think that "As of 25 September 2021" isn't quite correct if you use https://www.althingi.is/thingmenn/althingismenn/ as your source, because that is the list of the current alþingismenn, and there have been some changes since the 2021 elections. For example, "as of 25 September 2021", Helga Vala Helgadóttir would have been a member of Alþingi, but she resigned in 2023 and Dagbjört Hákonardóttir got her seat, so Helga Vala isn't in the current list. In German Wikipedia's list de:Liste der Mitglieder des Althing 2021, I noted the changes in the "Kommentar" column. Gestumblindi (talk) 21:42, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon
[edit]Hello WikiProject Iceland:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!
