[edit] Cleanup

There aren't a lot of references here no. It mmust be cleaned up, or we can throw this to the AFD. Also, why is Swedish meatballs specific typed? _→AzaToth 08:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Nah, I changed my mind, I throw it to the AFD so there will be some discussion. _→AzaToth 08:39, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Stop removing the meatballs plate people!

[edit] Photo

I may be biased because I took the photo, but I think my image is more appropriate than the one that replaced it. If nothing else, mine had the meatballs more prominently featured. Since I'm not neutral here, I'll leave it for others to decide. —Chowbok 02:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree. For the first and most prominent photo in the article, it would make sense to use a photo which prominently features meatballs. Looking at the picture and the caption, you would still have to read the article to figure out that the meatballs are the reason the picture is there. For such a simple concept, the picture should be able to stand on its own. PubliusFL 17:38, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

The Koettbullar stockholm2006 image isn't great, because the meatballs are cut off, but it may be useful to show the typical accompaniments. --Macrakis 18:24, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

If American Meatballs are generally larger than Italian metballs then I'd imagine American Meatballs would be the size of a volleyball. very misleading. i assume that they are american meatballs and the person in said picture is american. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Matstars (talk • contribs) .

This photograph is very obviously edited to add the meatballs. It seems like replacing it with a more appropriate image would be a good idea. —Leftmostcat 18:54, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Swedish/Finnish

I see no difference between the description of Swedish and Finnish meatballs at all. Indeed we probably had meatballs while Finland was a part of Sweden... I find that section difficult to handle. It is kind of ridiculous to expect every country to have their own variant of meatballs. // habj 09:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
