2.3 muslim percentage is clearly wrong - Correction

Can someone explain why this is on the front page? It is obviously completely false information. FlyRaySmith (talk) 05:42, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources seem to support numbers in the 2–3% range - what do you believe to be the correct information and based on what sources? Nikkimaria (talk) 05:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a whole section above, The percentage of Muslims in Sweden is much higher than "2.3%". Please read that, especially my comment on the different statistics and the definition of Muslim. Sjö (talk) 06:13, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. In that case it might be better to remove the stats from the lead and discuss the definitional issues in the text. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:45, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The stats are in fact wrong it’s meant to be 8.1% 2A00:23C6:9D00:E101:3911:AE2C:73DF:6F2D (talk) 06:50, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current sentence: "Sweden is a highly developed country ranked seventh in the Human Development Index.[12]" is incorrect and the cite is broken. The wikipedia link to the HUI says Sweden is ranked 5th.

Change "Sweden is a highly developed country ranked seventh in the Human Development Index.[12]" to "Sweden is a highly developed country ranked fifth in the Human Development Index.[XX]" Gatomon (talk) 23:07, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Something about video games could probably be added to the article, given that it is one of the biggest modern entertainment mediums and there are many successful Swedish game development studios. TylerBurden (talk) 20:02, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As a Swede, I request to be put in writing, i.e., for the addition of, the Swedish dialect groups, namely: South Swedish/East Danish (Sydsvenska mål), Götaland Swedish (Götamål), Svealand Swedish (Sveamål), which includes Uppland Swedish (Uppsvenska mål), Central Swedish (Mellansvenska mål), and Dalecarlian Swedish (Dalamål); Norrland Swedish (Norrländska mål); as well as other groups of dialects: genuine Dalecarlian (Äkta dalamål) and Gutnish (Gutniska), to Demographics/Language.

Not done: It's not clear where in the article you would want this added. There exists already an article on Swedish dialects -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 13:13, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph merge

Apologies for not leaving an edit summary here. I merged the second paragraph about Swedish military alignment into the first one. If anyone has objections, please ping me.

The Recent history section shuttles between events that happened at different dates, if someone could sort out the chronology that would be great. Kind regards, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI (^{talk to me!}/_{my edits}) 06:04, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
