When adding source citations, please add them on a new line below the = Sources = block. Adding them on the same line breaks the heading and also generates DBE 822 errors on WikiTree Plus.
I cannot speak to the specifics of the Iceland Project, however generally more information than "Islendingabok" is required as a citation. Examples and help can be found on the Sources FAQ page.
Best regards,

I usually mention "Islendingabok" as a reference (for the six different sources in "Heimildir" which the Biography and the existence of the persons are based on in Islendingabok (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%8Dslendingab%C3%B3k_(genealogical_database) See a sample below. I know that it is difficult to understand the Icelandic, but Icelanders are familiar with the form in "Islendingabok" Would you like to have "heimildir" under the "Sources" ?

You're right. Heimildir was in the biography for the profiles I saw, such as Jóhannesson-1459. I had translated the first couple sentences, but hadn't noticed that your source was at the bottom of the biography section. Not speaking the language myself, I assumed your source was meant to be just the word "Íslendingabok". My apologies.
It may sound silly to assume that, but I do see that kind of thing on a lot of profiles. For example, a sources section that only contains the words "Muncy County" with no other information. Except that it turns out "Muncy County" was really shorthand for "The History of the Early Settlers of Muncy County: A Biological Master Index of Families Arriving Between 1740-1810, 2nd edition (New York, 1871)", a 900-page book that only printed 100 copies. Nobody besides the profile creator could have possibly guessed that is what "Muncy County" was supposed to mean a book instead of a place name, let alone that it was referencing that specific book (without even a page number).
Technically, the source should be in the sources section. But in this case, it's kind of splitting hairs. I wouldn't go out of your way to go back and move them unless you're already updating the profile.
Keep up the great work.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s VERY IMPORTANT to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
