Request for verifications[edit]

I recently fleshed out this article and updated broken links. While I have done my best to summarize what I found in research, I would request some help with full verification of the article. I could not find a conclusive source about when Vasa Children's Home was closed, though the page no longer exists on the LSS website and the building was sold years ago. Those facts point to the closure but did not seem definitive. 2016 was my best guess based on when LSS records that it completed its merger with Children's Home Society and switched their focus for disabled residents to living individually with families in the community.

The article would also benefit on more clarity around how Vasa became LSS. I was not able to find much there either. It seems like there is a long history of religious social services organizations merging together which eventually emerged as LSS. That seems like an epic by itself.

Please also feel free to clean up my writing. I have looked at it too long to successfully edit it further at this point. Pingnova (talk) 05:40, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An additional request is to verify which "crown prince" the article source is referring to. In 1926 there were at least 3 Gustaf Adolfs in line for the throne. My best guess narrowed it down to Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten or Gustaf VI Adolf. That isn't my area of expertise, so I was unable to make a determination.
