William Borroughs[edit]

So , did you just remove my info at will? I request you put it back. --Fred chessplayer 05:41, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The year of the establishment of Gamla Kyrkogården and the year of the inauguration of the bridge?[1] In the context of night-life and entertainments? You think that's the right place? Central cemetries are strange only to Americans used to New Towns. Mind you, from Föreningsgatan virtually to Rosengård there is an even larger one! ;-)

But of course, if you insist! Do you? --Johan Magnus 07:51, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Why is not Gamla kyrkogården and the influence of Oresundsbron interesting? And the topic is not night-life, but miscellaneous. I'm not going to discuss this though, I can only refer you to Wikipedia policy not to delete others' material (unless it is wrong or copyvio). At most, if you think it is wrongly placed, you should move it to a more appropriate place. Because it did take me some time to find the material in question, and it is of course discouraging if you just remove it. I'm not going to reinsert it in some other place though, since you might then delete it again.

Personally I would, and might will, write about the cemetery in the centre of the city. I don't know if only Americans are unfamiliar with this concept. The cemetery is, IMO, ugly and takes up a lot of space. But it is also a part of Malmö's history. --Fred chessplayer 23:11, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I didn't realize that you entered the Borroughs quotation with the aim to criticize the cemetery. However, I judged your text by its own merits, and found the prose to be unnecessarily burdened by the long parenthetical comments. With all due respect, I didn't find it badly located, just without much relevance in the context. My sincerest ambition was to improve the text, not to pursue any city planning agenda, although I have nothing against traces that reminds about the history of the town, of which that cemetery is one, located in the periphery of the town that was protected by moats and walls. I propose you try to put your comments on cemeteries and changes due to the bridge in contexts of their own. Remember: If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly... do not submit it.

If you thought the text was misplaced, why didn't you just move it? --Fred chessplayer 16:58, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I improved it! :-) --Johan Magnus 08:05, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Topless?[edit]

The topless part in Malmö, completely irrelevant and in my opinion something that should perhaps have an own page, not the primary page of Malmö City. It would be like me stating how many McDonald's restaurants that city has

Number of mosques?[edit]

The wiki currently says Malmö only has one mosque, but if you search for "mosque" on google maps, it seems to come up with loads. Should this line be changed on the wiki? TheAwesomeGingerGuy (talk) 13:30, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted, TheAwesomeGingerGuy, thanks. I added a couple of links to articles about mosques in Malmö, but it could do with more of a summary, and those numbers need citing. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 14:06, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
