[edit] Introduction

Nostalgia (swe), user, editor and contributor at Svenska Wikipedia (Swedish Wikipedia). Born 1982 in Hälsingland. Lives in Stockholm. Spends her time here whenever she discovers a heart-breaking lack of information - or very wrong information - in articles on Swedish-related subjects (or non-existing articles); such as famous Swedes and/or other Swedish phenomenon. So it's quite often. =P She also helps out in the Anglo-International wikipedia-world at times when she is able to contribute! *:)

Being native Swedish, Nostalgia can never aspire to totally excel in English grammar (so she is from time to time dependent on friendly WikiGnomes), alas, but she really thrives at being a WikiFairy (!) and believes she atleast can be an asset in that department, especially on Swedish articles: she loves to use the fairly generous Swedish transitional regulations law (on copyright, 1994) regarding photographic images, and to make as good use of it as she can (like in articles Monica Zetterlund, Louise Mountbatten, Sickan Carlsson, Queen Victoria of Sweden and Gunn Wållgren) - since beautiful articles with photos are so much nicer than beautiful articles without. =)
