[edit] "Early life and education" section

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)

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)
