Information in redirect stubs

[edit]

While I can agree that a list of hundreds may be a better idea than one short stub for each of them, I notice that some of the now-redirects, such as Ale Hundred, in its last edit before becoming a redirect at least contained information as to its location. This kind of obliteration of information by heavy-handed editing always makes me worried. Therefore, there may be information which can be regained by going through the previous versions of redirects to this list, if someone has the inclination to do so.

Some of names are really strange. Names like Ärlinghundra and Sjuhundra have been "translated" to "Ärling Hundred" and "Sju Hundred". This kind of home-spun Swenglish is terrible. And is there any evidence that "skeppslag" is called "ship district" in English?--Muniswede (talk) 21:48, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stub resurrection

[edit]

There have been

  • assessed,
  • interwikied,
  • categorized,
  • linked to

stubs for all (?) of the Hundreds of Sweden. One user turned them all into redirects to a list. There is still content. I resurrected some, so people that click on a link from somewhere else can:

  • see at least where it is located,
  • go to the Swedish article,
  • can easily expand information

Strange "English" names

[edit]

The list contains some "translated" names of hundreds, such as Finspång Fief Hundred, Kinne Quarter Western Hundred &c. Have they ever been used in print or are they just invented by some Wikipedia user here? --Vedum (talk) 22:57, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Probably just silly home made translations. --77.219.227.114 (talk) 11:33, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Information

[edit]

To be of any use, the list should contain info about where these hundreds were situated. In some cases there were several hundreds with the same name. --77.219.227.114 (talk) 11:34, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
