From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi there and welcome to Wikipedia,
Thank you for editing articles related to the history of Stockholm, they really need all the attention they can get. However, while I don't see any reasons to doubt the factuality of the information you've been adding, your contributions would be of much greater value if you would state your sources. Readers are likely to consider the articles more authoritative given some transparency.
Thank you for your understanding, keep up the good work, and consider creating a user account - its both free and rewarding. See Welcome to Wikipedia for more details.

I agree that it seems useful to have sources in an encyclopedia... In my case I was reading up a bit on my Stockholm history in Wikipedia and in the online version of NE. Most Wikipedia readers probably don't have access to NE and I couldn't find any other sources online. I added two references to articles in the online edition of NE: "Mälaren" and "Stockholm" now, any way. (They show up as one reference for some reason...) I will use an account from now on if I get the urge to edit anything else: User:ypps
(Fixed indent) Great, thanks! I fixed the two references (I just gave them different names). NE will have to do until someone find a better referenceq. Don't hesitate to add some references to Mälaren, I've added some {{fact}} there too.
Again, thanks for contributing, let me know if I can help you in any way.
