Talk:List of metropolitan areas in Sweden

Twin Cities of Sweden

edit

How is this section supported by facts and/or relevant to the article? SCB (Statistics Sweden) doesn't include Östergötland or Linköping or Norrköping in their definition of metropolitan areas (storstadsområden) of Sweden. If you ask Swedes how many metro areas (storstäder) there are in Sweden most will say three (including everyone I know from Östergötland). Both the colloquial and the official definition of metropolitan areas in Sweden include Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö only. The idea of metropolitan Östergötland or the Twin Cities of Sweden, to my knowledge, exists only as a marketing ploy by the county of Östergötland itself. This entire section is therefore misleading and ought to be deleted.
Please submit any reason why the Twin Cities of Sweden should be included in this article. Skrofler (talk) 19:31, 29 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

For the above reasons I'm deleting "Twin Cities of Sweden" from this list. The editor who wrote that section were invited by me to discussion but has not answered. Statistics Sweden do not recognise Östergötland as a metropolitan area ("storstadsregion"). Skrofler (talk) 22:45, 12 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Maps

edit

All of the maps just have numbers, but not names, for the municipalities. And the article has lists of municipalities with no connection to the numbers on the maps. As a result, without a legend, the maps add little value to the article.

It would be even nicer if the maps were converted to SVG and could show the kommun names when the mouse moved over them, and links to the corresponding Wikipedia page for the municipality.
