There was a picture of a church on the Helgalund page. I think it is acutally in Lund, so I've moved it here, but I'd like a check from anyone who can tell for sure.

After looking around I think it is allhelgona kyrka on Hven. Here is a url http://www.sydsverige.dk/?pageID=37 .

It is however problematic that the image does not have a source. --Fred-Chess 09:43, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Foundation

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the city was founded around 1020 by the Danish king Canute; and later became the seat of a bishopric in 1060 and the seat of the archbishop of all Scandinavia in 1103. This doesn't comporate with what is said in the Wiki article. Someone more knowledgeable in the subject should fix this. --Anittas 04:21, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Check out an earlier revision, I think it explains it: [1]. / Fred-Chess 11:19, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand what this line means: "when the village of Uppåkra was moved to Lund's location, by King Sweyn I Forkbeard". Does it mean that the village of Uppåkra was abandoned and the settlement was moved to what is now, Lund, or does it mean that the village was Uppåkra is identified as the predecessor of Lund? --Anittas 02:55, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Treaty of Roskilde

In 1658, all Scanian counties except the islands Bornholm and Anholt, were ceded by Denmark to Sweden by the Treaty of Roskilde.

If I am correct, Bornholm was ceded to Sweden in 1658, even though it was reclaimed by Denmark in the Treaty of Copenhagen in 1660. I will go ahead and edit it. --Warfvinge 19:12, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IPA

I've never heard anyone from Lund pronounce the name of their town like the current IPA suggests. Not being from town myself I'm not going to change it, but it would be nice if somebody who lives there could comment and possibly correct it. JdeJ 12:37, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

The language in the text is horrible.
