[edit] Merging Culture of Gotland
There's a link on this page to Culture of Gotland, which unfortunately contains only a copy of the section here. I suggest a merge or redirect. --Janke | Talk 07:40, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ship with same name
What about the Swedish submarine "Gotland" stationed in San Diego? Zelaron 18:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- Information about this ship should not be merged with this article. It is a separate topic about something that (presumably) only shares the same name. Follow Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships) about naming the article, that is, use the ship prefix to distinguish the ship from other things of the same name. According to Ship prefix, the ship prefix for Swedish ships is "HMS", so if the ship is named Gotland, name the article "HMS Gotland", which apparently already has a page which links to the ship in question: HMS Gotland (Gtd). -- Centrx 00:41, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

- The submarine is definitely named after the island, but I doubt there is ant stronger connection between them than that. In the article for the island, one should of course not mention the submarine, but in the article for the submarine, it may have some (but not much) relevance to mention where the name comes from.
