Interesting life, on good sources, all-Icelandic sources accepted AGF. I like ALT2 best, enough so to strike the others. Here's a different order of the same:

ALT2a:... that Guðrún Björnsdóttir (pictured), a 20th century Icelandic politician and women's rights activist, sold milk for a living?

- In the article, I did a bit of copy-editing, - please check and revert what you don't like. In the English Wikipedia, women are not called by first name only, for respect. It seems to be different in Iceland, but I suggest to adjust to the use here. No need to educate our readers that a woman becomes a widow when her husband dies ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:10, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Looks great! I honestly thought the name thing was confusing, too. Iceland is a bit picky with their names. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 18:00, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Congratulations on the article! I fiddled a bit with the quote from the obituary and I standardized to usage of her name rather than her patronymic. This is the norm for our articles on Icelandic people - and those of various other ethnic groups as well. See e.g. Katrín Jakobsdóttir, Megawati Sukarnoputri or Saddam Hussein.

• Hi, I came by to promote this, but the article is an orphan. Please link it to at least one other Wikipedia article so it won't be tagged. There appears to be a golfer by the same name; I disambiguated her redlink where she appears in 2015 in sports. It would be appropriate to mention this woman at Icelandic Women's Rights Association, with a cite. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:28, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah:  Done and I also updated updated the citation for Guðrún Björnsdóttir as well to be up to the standards set on Jónína Jónatansdóttir for citing timarit.is. Cheers! –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 23:44, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

• Thank you. Restoring tick per Gerda Arendt's review. Yoninah (talk) 23:48, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
