We are listening to you. In the mean time, the Swedish National Heritage Board, Riksantikvarieämbetet, just recently uploaded over 100 images of Umeå that probably can be used to illustrate several articles. Check out Category:Umeå too see if there is something that can be used for improvement. --Ainali (talk) 21:37, 5 May 2014 (UTC) 6 May: Another productive day with 21 new articles written!
