Thanks for all the work you've done on this one and on Vegvísir, and sorry about obliterating one of your edits on the former - you're correct, it was an edit conflict. My browser crashed mid-edit and I was so glad the edit window came back with my changes, I didn't think to check whether anyone else had been working on the text.Yngvadottir (talk) 05:26, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
- No worries regarding the edit conflict, and thank you for participating in the proposal for deletion discussion, and mentioning Vegvísir. This process illustrates some of the things I love about Wikipedia!
- I just happened to be looking at Newly created pages (trying my hand at Vandalism patrol) and noticed Vegvísir being created quickly, and just as quickly being recommended for a speedy deletion.
- Reading the article didn't show a good reason for a speedy delete.
- Before I could do anything about that template, another editor removed it, leading the proposer to then create a proposal for deletion.
- In the course of that proposal being reviewed and commented on, other editors joined the discussion.
- The net result was four good things:
- A new editor, quickly mentored in the details of Wiki article writing, and (I hope) encouraged to contribute more
- A good new article was published
- A 2nd article improved
- I learned some interesting things! I lived in Iceland for a year, travelled quite a bit (I even drove all the way around the ring road, clockwise, all in one long day-light filled day, on June 21st of the year I was there!), and read several of the Sagas, but didn't know anything about Vegvísir or Sunstones.
