The article is definitely useful in its current state, but there's some room for improvement.
1) The stated summit height is not the same throughout, and it's not any of the commonly accepted numbers I've seen (I'd propose using either the latest measurement or whatever's on the map).
2) Since "real" climbing (trad, aid, ice) is mentioned at the top of the page, it would be prudent to include route descriptions, or at least hints as to where those possibilties are. Maybe reference Klätterförbundets Kebneförare?
3) Overall, the structure of the article and the spelling/grammar/wording could use some work. Too many small nitpicky issues to point them all out here, but I'm willing to fix them if I can get editing permission (or just shoot me a PM and we can start fixing stuff that way).
It finally happened: the small glacier on top of the south summit has melted so much during this hot summer that the north summit is now higher, and consequently the north summit is the new high point of Sweden.

South summit isn't the highest anymore.It finally happened: the small glacier on top of the south summit has melted so much during this hot summer that the north summit is now higher, and consequently the north summit is the new high point of Sweden.
Lots of news articles covered this. One example:
