Untitled text from 2006

The way the article is currently worded, portrays the Republic as though it was almost ancient. Please insert information about when, where and why the idea of a Jamtlanic republic was conceived. The text under the header "Ethnicity" is also pretty much pure rubbish and that it's not etho-centric seems to be rather naive POV. Please fix these problems before removing the NPOV-sign.

I'm not enough of an expert on the subject to correct the article enough, but sourcing for almost everything is needed in a major rewrite. My understanding is that the "Republic of Jämtland" is a 1960's idea originally concieved as a bit of a joke that has stuck with some circles. Notice that both the first presidents were comedians. The idea of the "Republic" is founded in a period of independence in the late 12th century. This version of the article is certainly POV. Usrnme h8er 09:00, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'm going to go ahead and suggest a merge into Jämtland. This independence struggle may warrant a mention on that page but little more. Usrnme h8er 09:15, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I for one support this idea. It's questionable whether such a tentative republic actually requires a separate article.

Merging, since this page exists as a redirect, this talk or Talk:Jämtland are appropriate places if discussion is required. Usrnme h8er 21:53, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I feel as though to remain on the site, the page needs more independent references showing notability.--BestOnLifeform (talk) 02:36, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
