What I want, what I do, when I’m logged in, etc. For all that, read below….

My goal

[edit]

Only one: to provide comprehensive information about Icelandic musicians and their work in an unbiased and detailed manner. Some of my articles could have endless modifications and corrections, the publication of others might be delayed far beyond than desired, but all this is because one reason: I would like them to be as perfect as possible.
In some cases, due to the unavailability of information, an article could lack the information needed, but I’m always working and asking around so that they all can reach an encyclopedic value. Please, be patient as I’m working on several projects at the same time.

Information sources

[edit]

Besides Internet sources and printed publications, some of the data published on my articles were taken from scanned images of vinyl records, from which I have retrieved some information such as credit names, track listing, band descriptions, manifestos, etc.
Additional information was provided by the musicians themselves. For more information about my sources, please see the credits section from my user page.
As there are some scanned images which were used to complement the information provided on some articles, I have uploaded additional photographs which could be used as a visual reference to my articles. For more information, see my LMB Music Image Gallery.

Information conflict

[edit]

Some data provided on my articles may be different from external sources. Before making any change, you should consider that I have been working on the tiniest details and that the external sources might be the ones with wrong information. I have discovered many times that important websites don’t have accurate information and in fact, make some of the most egregious mistakes.
If you consider there is something wrong with any of my articles, please check out with me first and raise your opinion about it.

What I can and can’t do for you

[edit]

Sometimes people ask me things that little have to do with my topic of interest. So that you don’t knock at the wrong door, here you have all you need to know:
I’m not able to…

  • Make translations from Icelandic. I wish I could: I’m trying to learn the language or at least its grammar rules but I’m a lost cause. Please, see Icelandic language for more information. There you will find useful links.
  • Provide private contact addresses.
  • Answer questions about other bands/artists beyond the ones listed on my user page. I suggest the following links: Músík.is, Tónlist.com or through Google.
  • Provide mp3 files or any other files. I’m sorry.

I’m able to…

  • Make translations from Spanish to English or the opposite as long as the requested translation is related to Wikipedia. People from outside Wikipedia are exempt of any restriction as long as they have contributed to my work somehow.
  • Answer questions about the artists/bands listed on my user page. This will only happen with information which has not been included on the encyclopedic articles.
  • Provide enlarged versions of the images I have used on my articles and which are not available on the Internet. You can see all I have here: Music image gallery.

When you can find me

[edit]

I’m not logged in everyday. My collaborations are sporadic. So, if you want to find me, here you have a list with the probable hours (expressed in Argentine time zone: GMT-03:00): Mondays and Thursdays around 16:10 or 20:00 hours. Tuesdays around 09:30 and Saturdays around 20:00 hours.
I usually log in around 10:00 hours any day (in the summer or winter holidays).
