Suggestion for new entry in the English Wikipedia[edit]

There was quite a famous psychologist of religion, called Hjalmar Sunden, who developed "role theory" and whose work is discussed by his Finnish supporters, Nils Holm and J. Belzen (Holm, N. & Belzen, J. (1995). Sunden's Role Theory: Impetus to Contemporary Psychology of Religion. Abo: Abo Akademi.

This psychologist has an entry in the Swedish Wikipedia, but not the English one. Unfortunately, I do not speak Swedish fluently; however, I shall be extremely grateful if any Wikipedian with a knowledge of Sunden, the psychology of religion and the Swedish language could start an entry in the English Wikipedia (in English, please).

Sorry I omitted characters in the above passage - they are a little tricky to do on this PC.

The website I mentioned on the Swedish Wikipedia is:

http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hjalmar_Sund%C3%A9n

It is only a brief article, what would probably be counted as a stub in the English Wikipedia, but is still worth mentioning - it categorises Sunden as a "Swedish psychologist" and a "Swedish theologian" and gives his birth date as 1908, his death date as 1993. It is interesting that, whereas the Swedish Wikipedia has an article on Sunden, the Norwegian, Danish, Finnish and Icelandic Wikipedias do not. So, if we can start an article on Sunden in the English Wikipedia, we may have an article that is lacking from all but one of the Scandinavian Wikipedias!

I have started an article on Hjalmar Sunden, but would appreciate more references to it. There are references on the entry in the Swedish Wikipedia. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 19:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
