Rename? edit

I consider the choice of the term "concentration camp" for the Swedish WWII a POV term, and possibly intended to inspire to less than relevant comparison to Nazi German WWII activities. The main author's inclusion of contemporary quotes from the Swedish communist party's own newspaper Ny Dag - which unsurprisingly was highly critical of the internment of its members - does little to reduce the impression of POV. In the already existing article List of concentration and internment camps these are referred to as "internment camps", and in Swedish Wikipedia, interneringsläger rather than koncentrationsläger is the term chosen, and seems to be accepted as NPOV. BTW, this is the same Swedish term applied to the internment of Japanese in the US on swwiki.
I therefore propose to rename this article to Internment camps in Sweden during World War II (the end part taken from the article Sweden during World War II). Tomas e (talk) 17:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Nazi-sympathizers in the internment camps edit

I think it should be added that the communists, anti-Nazis, anti-fascistis ect. were in the internment camps from 1940-1944. Once the tide of the war switched the left-wing inmates where released, and replaced with Nazi- & fascistsympatizers as well as other right-wing dissidents who would be inmates from 1945 onwards. The info is found in both Sennertegs work as well as in several interviews with him.

I think it is important to point out that this had nothing to do with being right-wing or left-wing. The purpose was souly opportunistic. Once the fortunes of the war changed the targeted political groups also changed. Infact we dont know what happened to all of the right-wing inmates who stayed until 1948. Some belive they where executed. 22:50, 13 February 2013 (ECT) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.226.118.227 (talk)

removing POV template without ongoing discussion per Template:POV instructions edit

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
  1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
  2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
  3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:36, 25 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
