Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. 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  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) 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.

Hello. Here is Stefán Teitur Þórðarson, an up-and-coming footballer from a startling dynasty of players (check out the "Personal Life" section!). The article has the usual "Icelandic name" template, but doesn't address the difference between Þórðarson
and Thórdarson
: it simply uses both forms, as indeed do multiple sources. Does it matter? What do we usually do in these cases? Is there an argument for consistency within the article? – Or maybe an argument for INconsistency, reflecting real life! It might be that the article is already perfect and no change is needed. Do please educate me. Thank you, best to all, DBaK (talk) 18:17, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered. For Icelandic names, the person is referred by his given name, in this case Stefán (or Stefán Teitur). Thordarson is a transliteration of Þórðarson due to Þ not currently being in the english alphabet (it was in the past and is part of the Latin characters) The person should not be referred to as Thordarson or Þórðarson in the article. Alvaldi (talk) 18:37, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks! So ALL of those appearances of Thordarson and Þórðarson should simply come out? DBaK (talk) 18:41, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- OK done it, thanks. I've also done Template:Preston North End F.C. squad which is probably going to get my arse kicked for it "not being a proper surname" etc etc. But worth a try I think? Cheers! DBaK (talk) 18:49, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Project members are invited to participate in The European Destubathon in April. Almost $3000 in Amazon voucher prizes, including a prize for articles from your project, which can be used to buy books for content, though it can also be treated as an editathon if you're not interested in competing! Minimum content to be added to each article just to ensure that they're over a stub, though longer expansions also welcome. Entries at the end of the contest will be tipped into the 50,000 Destubbing Challenge and European Challenge. Previous contests were really enjoyable and I'm hoping this one will be too! Sign up if interested. Thanks! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:48, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
There are some undefined names references in Economy of Iceland. I think it needs the attention of a subject matter expert. 76.14.122.5 (talk) 01:38, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
Hello. Project members are invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It will be held from Monday June 16 - Sunday July 13. There is $3338 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning some vouchers to help you buy books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for your project, sign up if interested.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:30, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
