[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)

I really like to say this:
Thank you for your suggestion! When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make whatever changes you feel are needed. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the Edit this page link at the top. You don't even need to log in! (Although there are some reasons why you might like to…) The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome.
In other words, go ahead. Just as long as you remove the ugly "merge" tag. :-)

[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.
