[edit] NPOV?
This article is quite biased - extremely negative and with a quite exaggerated language, especially from chapter "Rise to power" onwards. For example the following quote:
"The dictator's manners were even worse than his morals, He habitually adopted a tone of insulting superiority, all the more irritating as coming from an ill-informed foreigner; and sometimes he seemed deliberately to go out of his way to shock the most sacred feelings of the respectable people. Nor was this all. His system of retrenchment, on which he particularly prided himself, was in the last degree immoral and hypocritical, for while reducing the number of the public officials, or clipping down their salaries to starvation points, he squandered thousands upon balls, masquerades, and other amusements of the court, and induced the imbecile king to present him and his friend Brandt with 60,000 rix-dollars apiece."'
I hope someone with more historical knowledge can turn this into neutral point of view. esmi 13:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- I tend to agree. It's an interesting article and a good start, but it could use some editing and citations. --Glitterspray 16:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- I inserted a NPOV/disputed box - this section needs a rewrite by someone who knows the period and is willing write about it in a more unbiased way. --Agger 08:23, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Neutrality is disputable
This article reflects a totally different view from Enquist in his book "Livlakarens Besok". I suggest the editor put out a "Neutrality Disputed" warning. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.229.40.121 (talk) 18:13, 6 January 2007 (UTC).
