List of national parks of Sweden

 * Nominator(s):  The Le ft ori um  21:58, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this article for featured list status because I've been working on it for a few days and I think it meets the FL criteria now. It is partly based on the featured list List of National Parks of Canada.  The Le ft ori um  21:58, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Question Shouldn't this be "List of National Parks of Sweden" with capital N and P?-- Crzycheetah 00:09, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * These nation park lists seem very inconsistent, some have capitalization, some don't. I think it should be in lower case unless it is used as proper noun.— Chris!  c t 01:45, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd just like to point out that in the case of List of National Parks of Canada, "National Parks of Canada" is the name of the actual organization, so I figured that was the most suitable title for it. -- Scorpion 0422  20:24, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Support. I didn't review the references, but besides that, it seems like a solid list. Eklipse (talk) 10:31, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. I noticed no problems when read the list. Ruslik_ Zero 14:42, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support the capitalization issue is a separate one and doesn't seem to affect the list much as a move will fix that quite easily, hence my support - also color should be accompany with symbols per WP:ACCESS— Chris!  c t 21:35, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments


 * EPA? On the first use of Environmental Protection Agency mention EPA
 * Done
 * "200,000 ha (490,000 acres)" - write hectare in full and link it; link acre, too.
 * Done
 * The first section needs to be renamed. "National parks", maybe? Because "list" is very ambigious; also, there is a list in the second section, too.
 * Done
 * As Chris mentioned, color shouldn't be the only indicator.
 * Done
 * "A river delta in Sarek National Park." - no period is needed
 * Done
 * For the last three captions in the first section, add some info. Be creative! Just the park name is very dull.
 * Done
 * "Dalarna, Gävleborg, and Västmanland County" - Dalarna, Gävleborg, and Västmanland counties
 * Done
 * "Örebro County and Västra Götaland County" - Örebro and Västra Götaland counties
 * Done
 * Same with the location column. When I sort it alphabetically, Örebro County comes last.
 * Same as above.
 * The Sister template should always be located at the top of the last section in the article.
 * Done
 * Could you also add the English translations for the publishers?
 * Done

-- Crzycheetah 01:48, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's very confusing to see Ängsö National Park listed last. Assuming the list is alphabetical, most readers expect to see it at the beginning, don't they?
 * "ÅÄÖ" are the three last letters of the Swedish alphabet.
 * en.wikipedia.org is an English encyclopedia.-- Crzycheetah 05:18, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't know how to fix that. When you sort it alphabetically, Ängsö and Örebro County still comes last.
 * You could try " Ängsö National Park ", and move the row to the correct location. That's how it's aphabetized in English. Jafeluv (talk) 09:46, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, all fixed.  The Le ft ori um  10:28, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Since you added the map, there's a useless horizontal scrollbar. Are you able to fix the template?
 * I don't know what's causing that either. I'll ask Reywas92.
 * Thanks for reviewing!  The Le ft ori um  09:10, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't know. The list is good, but I think that neither this nor the Canadian one is the best it can be. I wrote the FL List of National Monuments of the United States, which has more info. There could be a photo for each NP, but only if that's possible. I would really like a short description of what's actually in the NPs. We've got a nice list of names, but why are they special? Reywas92 Talk 15:14, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * Please have titles of the NP articles be consistent. Many links in the table with "National Park" in the title redirect to a title with just the name, like Dalby Söderskog National Park, which redirs to Dalby Söderskog. Please check all of them and move some to include the full name. Unless it's a special exception or is not only an NP, they should all have National Park in the title. All official names seem to include it
 * Done.
 * Great. I think Muddus, Padjelanta, and Stora Sjöfallet could be moved as well, and Sonfjället National Park should be changed to Sånfjället National Park.
 * Yeah, I need to add them to Requested moves delete them with Template:Db-move first.
 * All done.
 * Can we have a map? The article I linked to has a simple numbered map already on WP, and the EPA site has a pretty colored one with names, but I don't know if it's useable.
 * Would a map like the one used here be good?
 * A clickable map? That would be great! You can use File:Sweden location map.svg. I've also worked with these. See Template:Indiana NHLs map, replacing "USA Indiana" with "Sweden". I can help if you get me a set of coordinates. Reywas92 Talk  18:40, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll try to make it look Template:Indiana NHLs map. I have started on it here.
 * I have added the map now.
 * Perhaps you could have a link to each NP's site from the EPA.
 * Done.
 * I'll see if I can add something. Thanks for taking a look! :)  The Le ft ori um  21:28, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * All done.  The Le ft ori um  16:50, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Great job!! Reywas92 Talk  18:44, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Support All looks alright. – ( iMatthew  • talk ) at 02:28, 24 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Support nice work. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:46, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - nice to see what you have done with this article in the four years since I last edited it. Fine map. / Fred-J 11:13, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Please double check your future nominations for plagiarism or close paraphrasing. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:13, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
