Error in Notable natives

Neither Carolus Linnaeus nor Mats Wilander was born in Växjö. Carolus Linnaeus was born in Råshult outside of Älmhult and Mats Wilander in Torpsbruk outside of Moheda. Kricke 11:19, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Error in population

Växjö city ("Tätort"), has 55 600 (2005) inhabitants. Växjö Municipality ("Växjö kommun") on the other hand, has the population this article claims, ca 78 300 (2007). Kricke 18:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Information sourced to "Nordisk familjebok"

This is an article published in the 1922 edition, signed by A.T. Granlund and C.G.U. Silfverstolpe, who had already deceased befre this went into print. I have my doubts about the "bronze age religious site". /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 00:16, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Car-free area?

How can the category "Car-free areas" in this article be interpreted? This photograph, for example, explicitly shows that cars aren't banned from the city, nor do I see any mention of the issue in the entry. Or some limitations on car usage are meant? In any case, if there are special laws having to do with it, this must be described besides adding a weird category. --Microcell (talk) 10:19, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I removed the category. There is a pedestrian shopping street, that is all. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 20:11, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
