 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. I don't see that phrase, or that section, anywhere on the article. Perhaps you're looking at a different article? Qwyrxian (talk) 13:50, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

I made that change and a few more I found were needed. --Ettrig (talk) 14:18, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

The figure for Lund is demonstrably wrong. If Lund is to be considered belonging to a metropolitan area (MA) near this size (600 000) then Malmö must be included. But the figure given for Malmö is different. If these figures are harmonized, then we would still have the proble of one MA listed twice with different names, not sufficiently clear. There are similar problems with Täby and Södertälje. If the 2 million population is to be reached for Stockholm, then these two towns must be included in the Stockholm MA. So these two should be removed, like Lund must be. Sweden and Swedish should be avoided in headlines, according to MoS. --Ettrig (talk) 16:55, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Södertälje and Täby

The template included in that section shows the largest Swedish metropolitan areas, as well as the Södertälje and Täby metro areas; and not the Urban ones, best regards FesCityRaver (talk) 08:15, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

This does not answer the question above. Täby and Södertälje are both included in the Stocholm metropolitan area. The population figure given for Stockholm MA is higher then the figure given for Stockholm County. If Täby and Södertälje are listed as separate MA's, then the figure for Stockholm MA must be substantially lowered. --Ettrig (talk) 10:53, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Alright, then i'll replace these two by the following metropolitan areas. FesCityRaver (talk) 11:24, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

India recognizes as Metropolitan areas, areas with more than 4 million people. I think that for Sweden we should set the limit at at least 100 000, not to seem ridiculous. --Ettrig (talk) 15:36, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Metropolitan areas

Hello! What's the source for the size of the metropolitan areas in the demographics section? Seems a bit weird that Linköping has a larger population than Uppsala. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lichad (talk • contribs) 00:05, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

To have a list of the largest metropolitan areas in Sweden is superfluous. They are very few. Why not just list the largest municipalities or cities. Jesusbarabbas (talk) 16:46, 2 March 2011 (UTC). http://www.scb.se/Pages/TableAndChart____236124.aspx Jesusbarabbas (talk) 09:50, 3 March 2011 (UTC).

The value 146 154 for Linköping is the latest figure for the entire municipality (on Swedish WP) and the figure 144,839 for Uppsala is the densely populated area Uppsala only. For Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö it is the official metropolitan areas which include other cities with countryside in between. It is hard to define what to include but we should at least have similar principles for the metropolitan areas in the list, and therefore adjust at least Uppsala to the 197 356 which is the latest figure for the municipality. --BIL (talk) 22:35, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Language

A little statistics how much other languages than Swedish like Finnish and Arabic are spoken and understood in Sweden would be interesting. Also the number of people in Sweden who do not speak Swedish has been growing, where do we go now? 91.152.90.62 (talk) 16:07, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

GPD

Military - Humvee picture

I can only see one Swedish soldier in the picture (on the top of the Patria Pasi) and as far as the Humvee Article shows Swdeden doesn't operate any Humvees. There is probably somewhere a better suited picture.
