Here comes the rest:
creating an article about the National holiday of Sweden, as well as 50 other new articles pertaining to Sweden.
From a Swedish perspective, this isn't too bad. To quote ABBA:
"I feel like I win, when I lose" (Waterloo, 1974).

The surrender of Sveaborg ([[Suomenlinna]]) fortress at Helsinki in 1808 and the [[battle of Poltava]] in the Ukraine in 1709 are the two most famous Swedish military losses to Russia. A Russian expression for helplessness is "like a Swede at Poltava", but this is not at all how I feel today.
Still, I had hoped that this year's ice hockey championships, played in Quebec ([[2008 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships]]), would provide retaliation, but yesterday Sweden lost out at 4th place without medals and Russia is playing the final today against Canada in just a few hours.
It is surprising how well hockey-playing nations (Russia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Canada, USA, Germany, Poland, Czech Replublic) are doing in Wikipedia. Maybe this is what the Arabs should try.
