Done. -- Jasabella 09:03, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the picture, Jasa. In view of

the form these pastries take is significantly different from country to country

perhaps this differentiation needs more follow-up, since that picture really does not look very much at all like a "British" Danish pastry! (See Exhibit GB: [1]) -- Picapica 9 July 2005 15:12 (UTC)

Neither does it look like anything served in Sweden. I'm gonna take a better one soon enough.

I've taken another photo myself of a Praline Pear Danish and replaced the old one. If you think the old one was better, please feel free to remove it. Thanks.

Tons better than the old one, Delta. But it's a pretty extreme close-up, so I took one that actually captures the entire danish. I'm putting yours here so we can include when there's room enough for more than one pic.

why was the section about the muslim boycott/proposed name change removed? i fail to see the bigotry in this and hence i will revert to the older edit.

"Danish pastries were recently boycotted by most of the Islamic world" is way too vague ("recently" meaning when?) and needs sources (e.g. [2]). Foxxygirltamara 10:17, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was don't move. —Nightstallion (?) 14:11, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Danish pastry → Danish (pastry) - because its name is "danish", not "danish pastry".

  • Comment Oppose : I believe "Danish" is a colloquialism for "Danish pastry", in which case I'd oppose the move, but I'm not sure. Regards, David Kernow 03:06, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose — Danish is a colloquial abbreviation for Danish pastry. In British English, it is called a Danish pastry (although the abbreviation is starting to become more common). It would be against the MoS to change this. I think that it would be wrong for an article, which began with title acceptable in both British English and American English, to be moved to a common abbreviation in American English that also requires parentheses for disambiguation. — Gareth Hughes 21:38, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] (Mis)characterization of the Muhammad Cartoons

Muhammad was not portrayed as a suicide bomber. Changed this article to reflect that. Please see the Muhammad Cartoons article for more, including the actual cartoons themselves. Godfrey Daniel 02:20, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Who cares even if he had! Viva Denmark, viva danish pastry, viva Danebrog ... -- The man from Vienna said so

[edit] Wienerbrød

Does the danish name not refer to "Wien" (A city in Germany). A strange thing is that in Germany a Danish Pastry is called "Copenhagenbrücel" (Or sometging like that) (Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark).

Edit: Forget what i said......

[edit] American Bread

I thought that in Denmark, a Danish was ironically called "American bread".
