[edit] To Do

(Thanks to Yomangani for the input)

  • I've given it a quick copyedit for English. It's interesting and you've done a good job in expanding it so far, but there is not enough detail in the areas you cover and there are other areas that I would have expected to see covered that are missing.
    • I've changed Hedvig to Hedwig everywhere as this is her name in English (according to the article)
    • I think the literal translation of "Holm" is "island" not "islet" but my Swedish is terrible.

    • "The position of the queen" - was she actually queen? That isn't made clear.
    • "This saw some change during the reign of Oscar I of Sweden." - needs to be expanded. What happened? Was there renovation work?
    • The Chinese pavilion is not mentioned in the article, but is one of the reasons that it became a World Heritage site, so there should be at least a mention of it before, if not a whole section on it.
    • Most of the existing sections could do with filling out with details of the restoration work etc. What caused the fire that burnt it to the ground? Why was it left to decay? What was the state of the building when restoration started?
    • Some details on the interior of the palace, layout, areas open to the public and funding for the upkeep of the building and grounds would be good additions
    • There are no references. All the details should be cited (see WP:CITE) as original research is not allowed on Wikipedia.
    • The images are good, but the tiny picture of the church looks out of place when the rest of the images are thumbnails.
Hope this helps. Yomanganitalk 11:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
