Forsetakosningar graph

[edit]

Hi Bjarki, I noticed your File:Forsetakosningar 2024.svg, thanks for that! I would like to use it for German Wikipedia's article de:Präsidentschaftswahl in Island 2024, but preferrably with German captions. Could you maybe create a version translated into German? I think the translations would be: Aðrir --> Andere; Auð og ógild --> Leer und ungültig; Kusu ekki --> Nichtwähler. Thank you! Gestumblindi (talk) 20:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Sure, I was going to make an English version as well. I'll let you know when it's ready. Bjarki S (talk) 21:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I made an English version here. There is little note at the bottom about the percentage scales. Is this an ok German translation for it?: "Der obere Prozentwert gilt für gültige Stimmen, während der untere für die gesamte Wählerschaft gilt." Bjarki S (talk) 16:50, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds fine, thank you! Gestumblindi (talk) 18:15, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Images from 2024 Arctic Circle Assembly / Halla Tómasdóttir

[edit]

Hi Bjarki S and Berserkur, pinging you as some users from Iceland I know are active on Commons, I noticed that there are quite a lot of images from the 2024 Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavík on flickr, under a CC-BY license, so we can upload and use them, but sadly they don't have descriptions. I think there are a lot of notable people in these images, which would need to be identified. If I'm not mistaken, in this and this image, we have President Halla Tómasdóttir, of whom whe lacked a free image until now. Gestumblindi (talk) 00:40, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, finally there is a free image of Halla Tómasdóttir. I've already uploaded one of them. I will also check if there are usable pictures there of other notable people that I recognize. Bjarki S (talk) 08:59, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I recognized Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, but of course we have already quite a a lot of pictures of him - though most aren't that recent. Seems he hasn't changed a lot in the last 10 years... still his typical hairstyle... ;-) Gestumblindi (talk) 18:47, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah he has been frozen in time since the 90s and is still busy attending conferences all over the place so there are plenty of pictures available. I assume that many of the people in the pictures from the Artic Circle conference are officials and ministers from other Arctic nations. I don't recognize those people but some might be notable. It's a shame that there are no descriptions. Bjarki S (talk) 12:08, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, at least, thanks to Kenneth Wehr's help, I was able to upload some from Greenland, see here... Gestumblindi (talk) 20:13, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
