Talk:List of castles and palaces in Denmark
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] A consolidated list
I have created a consolidated list of castles and palaces in Denmark in order to try to get a handle on some problems I have seen in translating the word slot, and having that translation conform to Wikipedia articles on castle and palace. I have seen where articles get named and renamed back and forth from castle to palace and back to castle. I have seen properties appear both on the "List of castles" as "xxx Castle", and then on the "List of palaces" as "xxx Palace", where at least one is a red link, missing its way to an actual article.
In my opinion we needed a consolidated list, and now we have one. I used the list on da:Slotte as the basis for this list.
I used the list on Danish Palaces and Properties Agency's website for the major names translated into English. As for others not on their list, I did a Google search. Where I could quickly answer the question, "Is this a castle or a palace?" seen from the hits I received, or a "quick" drill down to a hit or two, then I translated. Where I could not get a quick answer I left the name in Danish as "xxx slot". --SFDan 09:40, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] From "List of castles" article
I removed the following list from article List of castles under the Denmark section because they are cleaning up the list, and because the main list should be here.
- Eremitagen- Already listed in this article's list as Eremitage Palace Hunting Lodge
- Fuglsang- Added to this article's list as a new entry
- Københavns Castle- Already listed in this article's list as Copenhagen Castle
- Lindenborg Castle- I did not add this to the list, as it appeared to be an estate (Gods) and not a castle or palace, and did not appear to have been either a royal residence or a royal fortress.
If there is any discussion on this, please bring it up here. Thanks. --SFDan 12:47, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
