This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Civil engineering, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Graham 87 11:33, 17 August 2023 (UTC)


 * You are wrong. I corrected a common error done in translations from Swedish to English. The Swedish term "civilingenjör" applies to almost every graduate from a Swedish university of technology (CTH, KTH ...) irrespective of subfield of study (electrical engineering, mechanical, chemical, "väg och vatten", ...). In English, the term "civil engineering" applies only to those specializing in "planning, designing, and constructing or repairing a building or infrastructure project" (quote from Wikipedia). Atterberg studied (see Jacobsson's book, p. 22) electrical engineering (quickly switching over from mining after one semester). This also explains how, later in life, at the Swedish patent bureau, he was responsible for evaluating applications dealing with electricity.
 * Your error is common. See for example https://en.bab.la/dictionary/swedish-english/civilingenj%C3%B6r, but other sites get it correctly https://m.interglot.com/sv/en/civilingenj%C3%B6r or https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/civilingenj%C3%B6r.
 * I will correct, again, the error in the Wikipedia text. TorGust (talk) 16:27, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
