[add comment] [edit] Proposal for Organizing Places in Sweden [5 November 2007]Currently there are no counties (län) under Place:Sweden. The county is today the official division of Sweden. The counties became official during the 17th century, a century when also the swedish civil registry were founded. All counties are divided in municipalities (kommun) and below theese are parishes (församling) which geographically are equal to the parishes of the former state church Svenska kyrkan. Under Place:Sweden there are now also some dioceses in swedish called stift. Theese are the dioceses of the former state church Church of Sweden (Svenska kyrkan) and are divided in contracts (kontrakt), rectory (pastorat) och parishes (församling). Theese parishes is geographically equal to the official parishes. We should therefore not use stift as a place here. In earlier days Sweden were divided in provinces called landskap. The provinces were divided in hundreds (härader/fjärdingar) which were divided in "socknar", which usually was the same as a single parish. I think we should use the modern division of Sweden. Former parishes should exist with under the municipality/municipalities they today belong to. Villages should be under the parish they belong today. We should use the official names and redirect from the english county names. Municipality names should be "municipality name without the ending 'Municipality' or the swedish 'kommun'. Parishes should be named "parish, municipality name, county name, sweden" Former parishes should be named "parish name (former parish), municipality name, county name, Sweden" Villages should be named under a parish. Urban areas should be named under a municipality. Places in urban areas under urban areas. If a parish by name and geography is equal to an urban area they could be under the same place page. As a source for places you may use:
The problem for many here would be that all above four sources is written in swedish.... Well. This is just an idea.../Sendelbach 08:42, 12 September 2007 (EDT)
