			As a Swede, I request to be put in writing, i.e., for the addition of, the Swedish dialect groups, namely: South Swedish/East Danish (Sydsvenska mål), Götaland Swedish (Götamål), Svealand Swedish (Sveamål), which includes Uppland Swedish (Uppsvenska mål), Central Swedish (Mellansvenska mål), and Dalecarlian Swedish (Dalamål); Norrland Swedish (Norrländska mål); as well as other groups of dialects: genuine Dalecarlian (Äkta dalamål) and Gutnish (Gutniska), to Demographics/Language.

	I found this citation source in the article about Finland, which discussed a similar set of statistics about its own tertiary education system.

	Thanks!

	== Edit request 26 July 2021 ==
	The Culture section currently contains the following paragraph:

			https://sv.wikipedia.org/%C3%96stdanska_dialekter,
	"Throughout the 1960s and 1970s Sweden was seen as an international leader in what is now referred to as the "sexual revolution", with gender equality having particularly been promoted. The early Swedish film I Am Curious (Yellow) (1967) reflected a liberal view of sexuality, including scenes of love making that caught international attention, and introduced the concept of the "Swedish sin" that had been introduced earlier in the US with Ingmar Bergman's Summer with Monika."

			https://sv.wikipedia.org/Sydsvenska_m%C3%A5l,
	Please consider re-writing this paragraph because of the following issues:

			https://en.wikipedia.org/G%C3%B6taland_dialects,
	- "I Am Curious (Yellow)" is a 1967 film, so it cannot be described as an "early" film. The "Swedish" description is also superfluous.

			https://sv.wikipedia.org/G%C3%B6tam%C3%A5l,
	- "I Am Curious (Yellow)" is a 1967 film, so it cannot introduce a concept that had already been introduced in a 1953 film ("Summer with Monika").

			https://en.wikipedia.org/Svealand_dialects,
	- "Swedish Sin" is a US concept that was imposed on "Summer with Monika" by its US promoter and other US commentators. Whether it was actually a part of Swedish culture is therefore debatable (it may have been a part of a foreign view of that culture, but that's not the same thing). <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) </small>

	Under the section religion, it says "At the end of 2018, 57.7% of Swedes belonged to the Church of Sweden; this number had been decreasing by about 1.5 percentage points a year for the previous seven years and one percentage point a year on average for the previous two decades."

			https://sv.wikipedia.org/Dalm%C3%A5l,
	According to official statistics from the Church of Sweden, 52.2% were members by the end of 2022. I therefore suggest changing to:

	I have restored this section, as I don't see any reason as to why this is not relevant information to maintain on the main page. Sweden has received hundred of thousands of immigrants in a very short time span. According to Statistics Sweden, over 2 million of Sweden’s inhabitants which is 20% of the population, are born abroad. This is significant and has changed the political landscape, culture and demographics in a major way. I would certainly argue that is very important to the country.

You may notice there is a "too long" tag on the top of the article, it was added precisely because instead of going in depth on a general article, for articles such as this in depth coverage are more suitable as individual articles. Obviously immigration to Sweden is a big topic, so it makes perfect sense why it would be covered on its own article, rather than shoehorned into the main article when there is already content covering it more succinctly. Your policy violations and edit warring are doing nothing to improve the article, and you have zero consensus. ] (]) 05:16, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Sweden was one of the Geography and places good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria.

2.3 muslim percentage is clearly wrong - Correction

Can someone explain why this is on the front page? It is obviously completely false information. FlyRaySmith (talk) 05:42, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Sources seem to support numbers in the 2–3% range - what do you believe to be the correct information and based on what sources? Nikkimaria (talk) 05:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

There is a whole section above, The percentage of Muslims in Sweden is much higher than "2.3%". Please read that, especially my comment on the different statistics and the definition of Muslim. Sjö (talk) 06:13, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
