Initial comments

I think this is a good beginning. I would suggest the following areas of improvement:

  • Sources and Citations-- It is ok to have some of them in Swedish, but you need more in English, just because this is the English side of wikipedia and most readers would not be able to understand them. Also, if you want more credibility, you need to read and include more scholarly works on your bibliography and notes-- in English. There are a few of them in English (even dissertations). If you have some difficulties in accessing these sources, let me know and I will pass them to you.
  • The usual: include external links, upload sources (music, pics, documents) to Wikimedia and link them to the article, etc.
  • Relevancy: You should work on the historical background and also open two new sections with the purpose of highlighting its relevancy. These two should be on (1) any controversy there might be or have been on these people, and (2) the legacy and contribution to the region (Sweden, Europe, etc).

I have classified the article as "stub." As you work on the citation, it should move up to "start." Hope this helps. Historian (talk) 16:57, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Capitalisation

Seems to me that skogssame should be capitalised as Skogssame throughout as it is a proper name for a group of people. Writing it as skogssame looks like the Swedish way of doing things. What do others think? Totorotroll (talk) 16:37, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

I have made this change, and also unpiped the links to names of Sami languages. We should follow English usage in this matter. However see also next section. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:27, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Move to Forest Sami?

Looking for sources in English to check on the capitalisation issue after it was raised at Main Page/Errors, I was unable to find the cited source "Lapp dialectal groups and problems of history" online, but I did find mentions of them as "forest Sami", for example here. This led to my changing the translation in the lede, and I suggest we move the article to that as a clearer title for English-speaking readers. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:30, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

I agree with you.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:46, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
OK, I have moved it and rewritten accordingly. I first added an explanation of the forest vs. fell designations, with a double academic reference. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:07, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
