Not Buningurinn - Búningurinn - and no one calles it that here. We call it Þjóðbúningurinn. --85.220.7.145 (talk) 16:07, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have to agree: Not Buningurinn - Búningurinn - and no one calles it that here. We call it Þjóðbúningurinn. -If you don't mind I'm just going to change it to Þjóðbúningurinn to prevent misunderstanding. 194.144.217.14 (talk) 22:17, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh.. sorry.. I can't.. Anyone else mind change tha name? 194.144.217.14 (talk) 22:26, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have to agree with you. I orignally named this article Þjóðbúningurinn, but it was changed to buningurinn by someone attemting to "Anglicize" the term. While the name of the website of the Þjóðbúningaráð is www.buningurinn.is, it is unlikely that the word buningurinn is very popular. However it is still, sadly, probably problematic for english speakers to type Þ, ó,ð or ú on their keyboards if they want to access the article directly... Perhaps the article is better named Icelandic National Costumes? --Kjallakr (talk) 19:21, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thjodbuningurinn? rather than "Buningurinn", which, if anyone hasn't noticed means "the costume".. I mean, the Thingvellir article is named Þingvellir. Why can't this article be named by it's name, rather than being called "Buningurinn", which is just a badly Anglicized version.. In fact, the current name "Buningurinn" isn't really an Anglicized version of Þjóðbúningurinn, it's just an altered word. The correct Anglicized version is Thjodbuningurinn. Also, the Thingvallavatn article is called Þingvallavatn, not "Thingvallavatn", isn't there some Wikipedia policy about Anglicizing or not the names of articles?.. The Reykjavík article isn't Anglicized, the Ölfus article isn't, and neither is the Þjórsá one.. But should they be? Since I don't know that, I'll happily follow the naming pattern of these and change it back to Þjóðbúningurinn, but if that may be too confusing, I don't think anyone would mind it being moved Thjodbuningurinn. --MrGulli (talk) 17:42, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I know it's nearly three years later, but I have moved the page to "Icelandic national costume" (Þjóðbúningurinn remains active as a redirect, and is prominently placed in the lead note on the article.) I think this redirect makes sense and as Kjallakr noted, will make it easier for English speakers to find this fantastic article directly. Mabalu (talk) 01:37, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
