Bespreking:Hoogyslands: Verskil tussen weergawes

 

Mister Mig de Jong is a Dutch wikipedian who is manipulating other wikipedians on the Dutch wikipedia to remove the article about High Icelandic. There has been manipulation, a short article about the subject has been dumped on various wikipedias and that is wrong! But that doesn't mean that the article isn't relevant. Icelandic people on the English wikipedia want to keep the article because they know it has got media attention. A column about the project has been broadcast on the Icelandic TV (Stöð 2). High Icelandic is considered by many scandinavists as an interesting project. It's not only a language, it's presented as a life-style with symobolism which is an extrapolation of Icelandic symbolism. All Icelanders know about the subject. It is wrong that small articles about it has been dumped on various wikipedias, which stinks of manipulation, but that isn't detrimental to the fact that High Icelandic is a known and interesting phenomeneon, both for linguists and Icelanders. Please follow the discussion on the English wikipedia. a total different language is spoken there. Maximiliaan
