Talk:Denmark

As of 2022 Denmark now shares a land border with Canada 148.252.158.154 (talk) 14:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

: Good catch. I have added the following to Talk:Geography of Denmark#Hans Island, and it also applies here:

: Hans Island is not mentioned, meaning that this content is not true:

:* "... Schleswig-Holstein to the south, on Denmark's only land border, 68 kilometres (42 miles) long."

: Denmark shares a common land border with Canada, as there is a land border that dissects Hans Island:

:* "A 1,280-metre-long (4,200 ft) border traverses the island."

: Somehow we need to include mention of Hans Island and fix this "land border" issue. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 16:41, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

::So why did I learn long ago that Denmark is in Europe, just sitting north of Germany like a hat?? Is this true?? Or is Denmark in North America northeast of Canada?? Georgia guy (talk) 16:57, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

::: LOL! Good one. Both are true. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 17:09, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

::::The issue has been raised and answered several times before on the talk page, e.g. here: The present article is about "metropolitan (i.e. European) Denmark", not about the Danish Realm. Consequently, it does not border Canada. --Økonom (talk) 19:17, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

::::: Thanks for the clarification. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 19:25, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

The text in the section Geography uses English names for the islands, but the map there has Danish ones, so it’s not very coherent and it’s up to the intelligent reader to figure out that Sjælland = Zealand and Fyn = Funen.

I’m thinking to either add these Danish names in parentheses in the text, after each English name, or add a little glossary in the picture caption. And maybe add something about Skagen to clarify where the North Jutlandic Island is on the map. What’s the recommended approach? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geke (talk • contribs) 11:20, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

:The best option would be an image with matching names, but a glossary in the caption makes sense. CMD (talk) 15:02, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

would anybody mind if I take out the bits about royal Denmark in the lead? Rufus the Unqualified (talk) 16:28, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Just noticed that the country code is missing, since the page is protected, I am not able to add it. Can someone please add "DK" as ISO 3166 Country Code? Thanks! Christi4nK (talk) 14:39, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

In the chapter about Administrative divisions the informationn the merging of municipalities is incorrect and the sentence ends abruptly without delivering important information.

i would like a change from:

At the same time, smaller municipalities were merged into larger units, reducing the number from 270.

to:

At the same time, smaller municipalities were merged into larger units, reducing the number from 271 to 98.
