Wikipedia:Swedish Wikipedians' notice board/Swedish quality articles

Swedish quality articles. A formal voting system has not yet been established, so feel free to add your suggestions.

Some basic ideas for an article to get listed are that the articles must cover its topic sufficiently, so that it is apparent that someone has dedicated at least a little time to it, to make them at least worth reading. Articles do not have to be very long. They should also be broader general interest, not just focused on the interests of Swedes.

Many of these articles really need improvement! Don't think they are perfect.

The issue is that there are an overwhelming amount of stub or very short articles about Sweden. The better articles risk getting lost in the lot.

A suggestion is to use these articles as basis for creating featured articles.
