The name of a category in english
[edit]Hello, I came here to check the newly updated information about the Finland-swedish descent of the actor Richard Dean Anderson that had been in news in Finland lately and saw that you had already added it. Then I happened to notice the category name Category:American_people_of_Swedo-Finnish_descent. Because my english is not at any professional level I became think if the name of that category is linguistically correct in english or not. At least "swedo-finnish" sounds unfamiliar, but I do not know if the expression is only rarely used or so. --Urjanhai (talk) 06:18, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
In the article Swedish-speaking population of Finland there seems to be a refeference, so it may be correct anyway. If it is the most widely used term or not is beyond my linguistic capasity.--Urjanhai (talk) 06:28, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you @Urjanhai: that was a very good observation, it does indeed sound strange. We will look into that! Lina Fredrika (talk) 06:56, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
- We are discussing with language experts on what the correct terminology should be, as there are lots of inconsistencies in both Wikipedia and Wikidata, particularly in English! Lina Fredrika (talk) 10:33, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
