[edit] Separation of towns from municipalities

Nice to hear, I just look in the Swedish articles and/or look it up in Google Earth. Thanks for the great work on separating the articles, keep it up =) --Skizzik 21:49, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ship districts

I am not Mic, but he has, like me, written a lot about Swedish topics.

I don't know anything about Ship Districts, and can not remember having written about it. Do what you think is best.

Hallo! On Mic's page there was a note that he had been "missing since September 2004" and that qusestions could be directed to Fred Chess. Well, that doesn't matter. Anyhow, I just wondered about the translation of "skeppslag". I have no opinion myself about it. I am not going to change anything before I know more. --Muniswede 14:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Yay, I got my admin stuff back after changing username.
Let me know if you need some admin stuff done, such as deleting pages or images.

[edit] Former municipalities of Sweden

Get Former municipalities of Sweden to featured list status? Why not, I did it with former municipalities of Norway. Can you allow Norway to be better than Sweden? :) I'll gladly help you with the cleanup if I just had some reliable, informative sources to go by. Punkmorten 21:41, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

And, oh, it would be helpful if you used edit summaries all the time. Happy editing, Punkmorten 21:45, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Such a list must contain more than 2,000 entities. Not even in the Swedish WP there is a complete list. I don't think I have the time to do for the time being. --Muniswede (talk) 09:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Recommendation re. edit summaries and category edits

It has occured to me that you might not know what "edit summaries" are: On a page being edited, a small "Summary" field is found under the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

Always fill in this summary field. This piece of advise is found on the help page for edit summaries, and is considered an important guideline. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete text; otherwise, people may question your motives for the edit. Summaries help everyone to understand what you have changed when they peruse the history of a page. It's a good idea to set your user preferences (under Editing) to "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary".

Regarding more deletions of categories from articles: please desist. If you have a problem with a certain category, please discuss it on the talk page or take it to WP:CFD. Depopulating categories by doing covert edits without edit summaries in all the individual articles of a category is not a helpful method and in my opinion, it is rather damaging to the project as it creates more work for people who have to clean up the mess created when categories are emptied out. There is a reason people add a category to an article: it is a navigation aid. Categories are not political statements or an exclusively "modern municipality"-sorting technique. Thank you for your cooperation and happy editing. Pia (talk) 03:27, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Former municipalities of Sweden

Hi, do you know if there's a source for this somewhere? A list? How can the list be completed? Punkmorten (talk) 05:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Municipalities without infoboxes

If you are interested, these articles are the only municipalities of sweden that not had an infobox.

cheers --Djacku (talk) 20:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I will try to do something about that in the near future. --Muniswede (talk) 20:58, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
You missed Sandviken Municipality. Skizzik (talk) 20:35, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Sandviken and Nordanstig are fixed now. To be continued... --Muniswede (talk) 21:06, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
The other municipalities have also got infoboxes now. --Muniswede (talk) 19:20, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of urban areas in Sweden

I have created a list of urban areas in Sweden, maybe you can take a look at it to see if something is wrong or ways it could be improved? My english is not the best one (as you can see, i guess) so there are probably some errors in the text at least. --Skizzik (talk) 22:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

As far as I have seen it looks good. I will check more later on.--Muniswede (talk) 07:32, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hundred, Court District and Parish

There are lots of articles like Algutsrum Hundred, Burträsk Court District and Bräkne-Hoby Parish. Should we move them to Algutsrum, Burträsk and Bräkne-Hoby (now redirects) and so on (and of course rewrite them a bit)? --Skizzik (talk) 21:03, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Sometimes I have done that. It has been done when there are localities with the same name. Sometimes there are links to localities in municipality articles, and when you click you find a hundred instead. That is not so good, so in those cases it is better to rewrite them. --Muniswede (talk) 21:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Most of the hundred-articles have redirect from the localities. But are the hundreds notable enough to have own articles? Shall there be articles about both the locality and the hundred? And if not, should the hundreds which don't have a locality with the same name be kept? And what do you think about the parishes and court districts, notable enough? Thanks, Skizzik (talk) 21:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
I think the localities should have priority, at least if they are tätort (more than 200 inh). I do not know very much about hundreds, but if somebody wants to write articles about them, it is O.K. But if they are notable enough, well I do not know. --Muniswede (talk) 14:12, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. --Skizzik (talk) 20:44, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
