Formatting edit

Clsgroup2, some information on formatting

  • Don't use single "equals" (=) at all. It creates a heading that is as large as the main heading at the top of the page.
  • Your largest headings (only the most important) have (==). This will create bold, and also underline. Your present format problem is that every heading is underlined.
  • Your subheadings should have three (===) which will bold, but not underline.
  • Never start a page by creating a heading. The heading is created automatically when you create the page.
  • Check your page heading carefully before you create the page. Never create an erroneous heading in which you have left the capital letter off a place name of a person's name or title. If you leave the capital S off Sweden, then the whole page has to be moved.
  • Don't begin a paragraph (or an item in a list) by manually indenting.
if you do this, it creates a box! Boxes can be a reaf nuisance because if you type lots of information, for example a whole paragraph then the end of the box. and most of your paragraph goes off the end of the page, as this one will do if I keep on typing  into ti 
  • The way to indent your list of books is to use a colon (:) at the edge of the page.
  • To make a dot list (of books etc) use a star at the edge of the page. (*).

I have reformatted some of your page. You can practice on the rest. Don't forget to use the preview option before saving.

Ibid and supra edit

This edit introduced a citation style that's unsuited to a Wikipedia article. I think that the "ibids" have been fixed but there are more than one supra in the article. Sjö (talk) 07:49, 31 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Appendix section removed edit

I removed that section because:

  • much of what is in it regarding the laws is outdated: I'm referring to the "Effective Waiting Period for No-fault Divorce" - most of these countries have changed their laws, in particular by shortening the periods of separation: eg. in France it is 2 years since 2005, not 6 years as listed here;[1] in Greece it is 2 years since 2008, [2] not 4 years as listed here; in Scotland it is 2 years (1 years with consent) since 2006,[3] not 5 years (2 years with consent) as listed here. Please note that many European countries have made major changes to their divorce laws during the past 10 years.
  • some sources used are not reliable, such as this: [4]
  • this article is about Divorce law in Sweden, not about divorce laws in the world and other such issues. The comparison of the Swedish divorce system with the systems of other countries is already discussed in the "International comparison" section. 2A02:2F0A:508F:FFFF:0:0:BC19:ACF9 (talk) 13:30, 20 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
