A fact from Eric Mjöberg appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 February 2008, and was viewed approximately 819 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that ethnographer Eric Mjöberg, leader of the first Swedish scientific expedition to Western Australia's Kimberley region, smuggled out indigenous human remains and that 90 years later, Sweden returned all 18 boxes of them?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2008/February.

"Early life and education" section[edit]

Mjöberg's education and work was interwoven during several years, until he finished his PhD (not MA) in 1912, in fact. What's the logic in separating his education into a little two-line section on its own? I would suggest combining it with the rest. Olaus (talk) 09:12, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Olaus. Of course you are right about the current section on Mjöberg's early life having too little material in it to warrant separation, but it would be interesting to see some information (which I do not have access to) about his childhood, parents, formative influences etc, to illuminate such an instructive character. When I started the article I included the section to elicit just such contributions. However, please feel free to implement your recommendation, at least until further information makes separate sections appropriate.Maias (talk) 11:18, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
