Swedish female authors

Hi, having done articles on Marika Stiernstedt and Anna Lenah Elgström based at least initially on the corresponding SE wiki articles, I though it it might be a good idea to see what other female SE-language authors there are SE Wiki articles for but not EN-Wiki articles, and see if more could not be written here on EN-Wiki. I do not propose to do this entirely through machine translation as I think the standards of the two wikis differ in some respects, but it is useful for a first-pass.

The goal is to write articles that are at least viable stubs for each. For this I would be looking at at least 3kb of data in each with three sources, at least two of which are clearly significant coverage of the subject.

I came up with the following list based on the SE Wiki list of SE-language authors with on SE-wiki. I intend to go through this list and mark all the ones that no

or point out if we do have an EN-language article but it just isn't trans-wikied properly. If you do use the SE wiki article, don't forget to credit it appropriately.

Now the B's

Swedish video

Is there anyone who could write what was told in this video at 2:28:32? Eurohunter (talk) 17:46, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It won't load for me, sorry. Draken Bowser (talk) 12:49, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Draken Bowser: I tried for a few times, and it finally started. I just noticed that there are subtitles, so I will try it. Eurohunter (talk) 13:14, 6 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, coming across this file, I was wondering if this is Varberg Lotje (talk) 05:56, 4 August 2023 (UTC) If positive, it could be added to the c:Category:Varberg in the 17th century. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 05:56, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The municipal art coordinator says it is. [1] Draken Bowser (talk) 06:08, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Done and thank you ever so much for your kind help. Lotje (talk) 08:49, 4 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ghost fliers

Documented "flap" (wave) of UFO sightings across Scandinavia in the 1930s. Not even mentioned at List of reported UFO sightings, but even the NYT covered it briefly (paywalled archive). Finnish WP page at fi:Kummituslentokoneet.

Help finding Swedish-language sources would be extremely helpful. RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 07:23, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

UFO-Sverige has some material like https://www.ufo.se/index.php/ufo-historia/1344-spokflygarens-vinter . A search for "spökflyg" yields a number of hits.Sjö (talk) 07:42, 24 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I would like to update the diagram on the Mecanum wheel in order to make it more accessaible. While the diagram is accurate, it could be significantly better as it does not show the vector components or explain the physics of why the body moves in the directions indicated. I am capable of making my own diagram. However, I'm not sure how to site a source. There are numerous youtube videos on the topic, but I imagine that I need to provide something more substantial. Is referencing a blog-page acceptable? Spirail (talk) 13:49, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Generally blogs are not considered reliable sources unless they are written by a noted expert.★Trekker (talk) 14:09, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

According to Göteborgs-Posten "Boten Anna" is a number one on Spotify in Sweden but according to Spotify's list "Boten Anna" is currently at number 27. What do they mean? Eurohunter (talk) 12:36, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Unclear, since she doesn't specify by what metric it is "the biggest hit", other than according to spotify. I wouldn't mull over it, especially if it fails verification. Draken Bowser (talk) 15:41, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello! I just wanted to mention that I'm working on

, has been detained in Iran since April 2022.

Just looking for proper sources and assembling the text has been quite a time-consuming process (and I haven't even started working on the main section, yet!), so if anyone can help me complete the draft, I'd hugely appreciate it. Oltrepier (talk) 16:53, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello again, I've just finished working on the draft and moved it to the mainspace: now you can find it

here

.

Like I said before, any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

(Also, I've inserted the "diplomat" specification, in order to distinguish Floderus from an eponymous philologist and priest who is similarly registered on Wikidata). Oltrepier (talk) 15:02, 7 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Limpa#Requested move 13 September 2023 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Lightoil (talk) 14:28, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
