  • Comment: @User2534: This article seems to be about the 15 May riots. I believe other riots have occurred in Sweden this year (e.g. Emmaboda in January, Alby in March etc.). So, this page should probably be moved to a more specific title. Also, the Swedish-language citations are probably scaring away the potential reviewers. I'd suggest dropping a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sweden, requesting a Swedish speaker to review this. utcursch | talk 21:59, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
  • The article is about the outburst of riots from late March to May and ongoing, but highlights the 15 May riots as a major outbreak. It is about riots in the suburbs, so includes Alby, but not Emmaboda which is another type of riot at an asylum centre (and outside the main timeframe). User2534 (talk) 09:23, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
  • I changed the title to reflect the scope better. User2534 (talk) 11:07, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Have completed another review now. User2534 (talk) 09:13, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
  • User2534, thanks, but the review in question is one that all nominations must be given by an independent reviewer to see whether the article meets the DYK criteria. I'll make another call for such a reviewer, and I've just updated this template to reflect the new article name (it's now all set; you don't need to do anything further).

  • Being Danish the Swedish language sources are not discouraging me. I agree with those that voice concerns about the article title - you have a fairly contained timeline, but the article just says "2016", if another riot happens in Sweden people will probably come looking here for information?
  • New enough at time of nomination, long enough as well. So while the article does not explicitly state "widespread" it lists so many locations with sources that I think we can agree "widespread" is an appropriate term to use for a hook. No copyright violations from what I can see, even spot checked a few of the Swedish sources - harder to say "close paraphrasing" when it's a lot of locations and numbers etc. I think what is presented is different enough from the articles to be okay. QPQ checks out too.
  • I see places here and there where it could use some copyediting, I will pitch in and fix a few things here and there for you, but I would appreciate it if you read through as well to fix any possible mistakes User2534
  • Two of the sources are dead. should be replaced - #84 and 47#
  • - Address the sources and I'll give you a hand with a little copy edits (nothing major, just a few things).  MPJ-DK  22:20, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
  • I went through it with some quick copyediting, hopefully you find it helpful. Side note on the sources - they are almost all Swedish newspapers and thus reliable sources without a question. If the dead sources can be addressed I think it'll be okay to go.  MPJ-DK  22:40, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
    • Thanks. I solved the dead links by removing and merging some content. About the timeline, it's not more restrained than the fact that the wave of unrest/riots this year seem to have largely started by late March, other than that it might still be ongoing or not, but that's not possible to declare yet. Adding "and unrest" to the title makes it more clear that these are not other types of isolated riots, but a more lasting situation across the country. User2534 (talk) 07:59, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
  • alright we're good then.  MPJ-DK  21:32, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
