Baggböle

 * ... that "Baggböleri", the Swedish derogatory term for deforestation, (cartoon pictured) is named after Baggböle on the Ume River?
 * Reviewed: Muslim League (Opposition)

Created by Victuallers (talk) and Victor falk. Self nominated at 15:52, 18 May 2014 (UTC).
 * a Umepedia fringe nomination Victuallers (talk) 12:51, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Article was created on May 17 with 923 words. The hook checks out and is accepted in good faith after doing two online translations. The picture appears fine, but I had to tweak the template to PD-1923. Two of the sources have problems: ''

 (404 error) and  '' (can't be found). This is a wonderful article and "Baggböle" is a wonderful word, so it would be wondedrful if those references could get fixed. Also, I'm not quite sure what a "Umepedia fringe nomination" is. Mvblair (talk) 18:57, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review - no idea why these two urls have gone silly. You can find the first in the cache here. Im trying to find the other.
 * Umepedia is here. Its a wikitown project being run in Swedish on meta]
 * Thanks for the appreciative review! Victuallers (talk) 21:26, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, I understand the Umepedia thing now. That's a lot of fun! Do you know if there is a way to put the cached version into the Baggböleri reference? I'm not sure if that's acceptable or not. I tried to search for the other link, too, but I couldn't find it. You might be able to find the information in some other reference, though. It's a great article and that hook will really bring people to the page, I think. It's got linguistic, environmental, and historic interest, so let's figure it out!! --Mvblair (talk) 22:42, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I've fixed one one and written to the authors of the second. Sorry for the delay. Victuallers (talk) 12:45, 6 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment: I agree that it is a wonderful word, and it is certainly part of the Swedish language (I did not know the etymology though - very interesting!) I enthusiastically second the nomination. The Swedish print encyclopedia Nationalencyklopedin has an article about this (also available at http://www.ne.se/lang/baggböleri ) which confirms the facts in the article. --bonadea contributions talk 19:01, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
