New and long enough, hook fact is certainly interesting and cited in-line. QPQ has been done. AGF on the Swedish sources. Cheers! Kingoflettuce (talk) 09:23, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer the original hook. Kingoflettuce (talk) 09:24, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kingoflettuce, ok.

References[edit]

Hi Tamingimpala, please could you check the bibliography and references?

Svenskt kvinnobiografiskt lexikon (In Swedish), author seems to be Cecilia Schwartz.
Ref 3 Esterniann, M. (23 December 2016). "Artikel". Lexikon des Gesamten Buchwesens Online. doi:10.1163/9789004337862_lgbo_com_010942. Retrieved 2021-08-02, seems to be an example not an actual article.

@TSventon, yeah ref 1 is fixed now. It was inserted by mistake, as the destination source material already exist (skbl). Tame (talk) 17:40, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

and the author issue is also corrected. Thanks for noticing these. -- Tame (talk) 17:43, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Tamingimpala, it is good to see more articles on Swedish topics. Could you mention Hilma Borelius, perhaps as a see also, if she was the first Swedish woman to be awarded a PhD in literary history? TSventon (talk) 20:45, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@TSventon, done Tame (talk) 21:43, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Tamingimpala, a couple more questions

should the en and sv Svenskt kvinnobiografiskt lexikon references and bibliography entries be combined into one giving the author and translator?
are bibliography entries 3-5 needed? No. 3, Vältalaren Johan Henric Kellgren has a footnote saying Bergh argued with sv:Lars Gustafsson (litteraturhistoriker), which seems very minor. I can't see nos. 4 and 5, but if they are lists of published works, could they be used as references for a list of Bergh's publications instead?
the works by Meg Henrysson and Elisabeth Krey-Lange in the literature section of the SKBL article could be added to the bibliography. TSventon (talk) 11:40, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@TSventon, I agree to all proposals, go ahead. Hope you have a wonderful day. Tame (talk) 12:36, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Tamingimpala, all done, except I did not add the bibliographies as references because I have not seen them, you are welcome tp add them if you wish. TSventon (talk) 15:18, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

User:Tamingimpala I don't expect you to know, but why does Bergh have two siblings (Ragnar and Karin) listed in the English version of the Svenskt kvinnobiografiskt lexikon, but three in the Swedish, (adding Einar)? TSventon (talk) 12:15, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@TSventon, I noticed that too, idk but I wrote based on the English one, so inserted two. Tame (talk) 13:02, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Tamingimpala, I think I will correct it to four siblings and send a message to the skbl. It seems only Ragnar, Gunhild and Karin were alive after 1920. Reference is Sveriges läkarehistoria ifrån Konung Gustaf den I:s till närvarande tid, https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=3Fs-AQAAMAAJ, which lists Gunnar, died 1894; Ragnar, businessman; Einar, civil engineer, died 1919; Gunhild, writer; Karin, librarian, died 1924.
