Reguest for translation edit

Hi - I got your name from the list at Wikipedia:Translators available#Icelandic-to-English.

I have a request for translation, or at least help with input into the article on Jørgen Jørgensen which corresponds to the Icelandic article is:Jörundur hundadagakonungur. The Icelandic article was a featured article and the English one is a minimilistic stub. I believe there would be significant material to incorporate into the English-language article from the Icelandic wiki. While I will add some information about his Tasmanian life as a sailor, explorer and convict, Jorgenson was also the ruler of Iceland for 2 months - I know no more and it seems an amazing story. Many thanks, Regards --User:AYArktos | Talk 00:02, 24 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision edit

Hello, mate, I see that you are interested in Eurovision. Would you like to be involved in connecting with more eurovision wikipedians to do up the eurovision pages in a more coherent manner? I have come across the Eurovision wikiproject page, which seems to have been dormant for over two years. It may be an idea to have a look there and see how we could improve the eurovision coverage. I have done up the Congratulations (Eurovision) page so far and put notes about it on the pages of those who performed there. Best regards from Australia, Blnguyen 23:54, 7 February 2006 (UTC)Reply


Hi, i found your page through the icelandic to english translators. I am interested in the band Sigur ros and i was wondering if you could tell me exactly which part of this text is saying


"it was I who hung on the cross An honest loner, that was I, that I swear but the broad road was easier to pass that road I walk and the cross I bear"


Að lífið hér var hart enda var ég það sem á Krossinum hékk heiðarlegur einfari það var ég það ég sver En hinn breiði vegur var greiðfærari hann geng ég og krossinn ber Alla tíð


Thanks a lot, my email is its_a_shame_about_ray@hotmail.com

Scouting article work edit

If you are getting this, it is because you do or did work on Scouting articles (see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scouting#Participants_and_primary_areas_of_interest).

As the Scouting WikiProject has been formed since early January 2006, we've had many great improvements made in this area of Wiki and I want to personally thank everyone for their help. We don't always agree on things, but we keep moving forward. YIS, Rlevse 22:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Dobro! :) edit

I just read your message you left me at my "talk" page in last November. Of course it's me, Nejc. When are you coming to Slovenia?
