• After obtaining his degree in 1936, What degree?

• B.A., added. Esculenta (talk) 19:55, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• he passed with commendable remarks Commendable is a little unencyclopedic

• Trimmed. Esculenta (talk) 19:55, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Link "Swedish Natural Science Research Council"

• The organisation no longer exists by that name, so I inter-wikilinked to the Swedish article. Esculenta (talk) 19:55, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• There, he broadened understanding of the region's Broadened not the right word here

• Now "expanded". Esculenta (talk) 19:55, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Kärnefelt fondly recalls their first meeting in 1970 as the beginning of a lifelong friendship and professional relationship, during which Almborn guided him through the complexities of lichenology with encouragement and expert insight. Unencyclopedic tone
• leaving a lasting legacy on many who passed through Lund University's botanical department. Again unencyclopedic
• Almborn retired in 1980, although he kept active Kept active?

• Changed to "...but continued to engage in lichenology" Esculenta (talk) 19:55, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• His stories of venerable botanists captivated and amused his colleagues, adding a personal touch to his scholarly presence. Unencyclopedic
• He is remembered for his kindness, generosity, and the lasting influence of his scientific endeavors. Unencyclopedic once again
• Through these contributions, Almborn left a lasting imprint on lichenology and botanical studies, ensuring that his influence would continue to be felt long after his passing. Yet another case

• I've "neutralized" the tone for all of the "unencyclopedic" examples you pointed out; I don't want to remove them entirely, as his obituaries emphasize these aspects of his personality. Esculenta (talk) 19:55, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, the phrasing is the main problem. Other than that, the article reads well and is in good shape. Wolverine XI ^{(talk to me)} 19:54, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
