These kind of articles are quite many by now, and a merge may be warranted?

  1. Possessions of Sweden
  2. Swedish colonial empire
  3. Languages of the United States#Swedish
  4. New Sweden
  5. Swedish colonization of the Americas
  6. Swedish Empire
  7. Swedish emigration to North America
  8. Dominions of Sweden

If these articles all deal with different issues, then I'm not going to push the issue. Give your opinions. // Fred-Chess 17:01, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

  • I don't really understand the point of the Possessions of Sweden article. However the others aren't the same. The Swedish colonial empire, did not co-exist with the Swedish empire, Swedish emigration is significant in itself especially in Minnisotan history. Swedish in the UNited STates is just part of a bigger article alread so a merge isn't necessary or viable. Dominions of Sweden deals with European dominions. I would suggest simply merging Possessions of Sweden into the others and redirecting it to Dominions of Sweden. Oh and Swedish colonization of the Americas is part of a series and could be expanded so I would leave it. Finally New Sweden is about a specific colony similar to the New Netherlands and New Amsterdam. While a lot of this could be combined into one big good article that would take an extraordinary amount of work and more than likely information would instead be lost.
