Neutrality of Skåneland

You commented: It seems to me that this article is written from a "Skåneland regionalist separatist" bias; given that such views are held only by a very small minority of people of Scanian origin (I am an expatriate member of the latter), this article can hardly be deemed neutral, and can perhaps even be misleading for people unacquainted with the subject matter.

Welcome to Wikipedia.

As a general rule, we'd appreciate if you'd sign your comments. It's easy—just add four ~ in a row and save—it automatically signs your name.

The article may show a "Skåneland regionalist separatist" bias. But I found that the section which reads, “Official status — The term is not used in official contexts and is seldom used by Swedes, though being more popular within the region itself and with many regionalists and in the context of advocating Skåneland as an independent republic.” is rather clear to most of us non-Swedes. The history makes the context for the disagreement clear.

To achieve a "neutral" point of view, articles don't have to be (shouldn't be) neutered by removing all controversy; neutrality can be acheived by counterpoint. Since you are an expatriate of the area, I suggest it would be very constructive if you could develop a few counterpoint comments so that we might provide a point of view you judge represents both sides of the controversy accurately. If you're not comfortable putting new text in the main article, add it here and we'll help you refine it.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
