Armament
Axel Swinhufvud's photo of Landstorm members in 1914 clearly shows them to be armed with M1896 Mauser rifles, not the Remington M1867 as stated in the text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4040:2948:FA00:31D5:51A2:F7EE:F4AF (talk) 22:48, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Swedish Landstorm → Landstorm (Sweden) – It's called 'Landstorm' in Swedish and 'Landsturm' in German. 'Landstorm' was apparently not good. Then move it to 'Landstorm (Sweden)' Saftgurka (talk) 07:56, 12 April 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 17:23, 19 April 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.

- Oppose: Landstorm is just a type of military unit. The Swedish Army is not called Armén. Outside of Sweden, no one would be referring to landstormen as "Landstorm", it would be "the Swedish Landstorm", even from a Finnish perspektive, were Swedish is an official language: "svenska landstormen". Even in Sweden the form is common. Blockhaj (talk) 11:46, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
- Move to Landstorm. The German-language version is always called the Landsturm, never the Landstorm. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:13, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
- This has nothing to do with the German Landsturm. The term Swedish Landstorm is in use:

Of course it does! It's the same word and the same thing, just in a different language. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:24, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
- Google Books results for "Landstorm" are mostly about the Dutch unit. 84.251.164.143 (talk) 03:50, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
