In the Lidingö article, you have written:
- Most of the population live in one-family houses, ...
What is that based on? I cannot find any numbers that support the above statement. In general, I am a strong believer of stating which year and source statistics comes from.
- While Lidingö is for statistical purposes divded into the three towns Lidingö, Breving and Sticklinge Udde, in reality the three towns are part of a unity and the locals do not use those names. Instead, they divide the island using the names of old farms.
Who uses that division for statistical purposes? Certainly not the Lidingö municipal government or SCB. Also, the last couple of 100 years, Brevik has been spelled Brevik as far as I know. Where are you finding this information?

- Thanks for notifying me about Lidingö. I have made some corrections to the article. I have to agree though that it still may not be correct, after looking at http://www.lidingo.se/net/Lidingo+Stad+Ex/Om+staden/Statistik/Bost%e4der . Feel free to update the page. --Fred-Chess 10:05, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

Lidingö Stad
editLidingö calles themselves stad not kommun. Shouldnt muncipality be repleced by town? --Dahlis 02:35, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- X Municipality is apparently the way it is expressed by the government. There's some discussion on Talk:Municipalities of Sweden and see also Wikipedia:Swedish Wikipedians' notice board/Terminology. // Fred-Chess 02:43, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
- The facts are: In Sweden there is since the municipal reform in 1971 only one type of municipality, called in Swedish "kommun". Most municipalities contain rural as well as urban areas, and there is no administrative difference whatsoever between "town" and "country".Some municipalities, which derive from former chartered towns or cities, dislike this order. Therefore they prefer to call themselves "stad" (city). This is not really illegal, but it is unofficial. At present there are 13 out of 290 municiplities, which call themselves "stad". But in official contexts the proper term for all municipalities is kommun. --Andhanq 18:50, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
