message: :Folketing → Folketinget — This article should be moved to the correct grammatical form - singular genitive absolute. There is only one Folketinget in Denmark. Alternatively it should be moved to The Folketing, which is the English pendant. Talk/♥фĩłдωəß♥\Work 15:22, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Naming conventions says "Articles are normally titled using the most common English-language name of the person or thing that is the subject of the article. In determining what this name is, we follow the usage of reliable sources, such as those used as references for the article." A search of the digital archive of The Times gives 303 instances of 'Folketing', the first in 1861, but only three for 'Folketinget'. If we are to use the Danish word at all, then 'Folketing' is its natural form in English, and grammatical inflections in Danish really don't apply. 'Folketing' is where the article was for more than five years, and no one seems to mind that form of the word still being used in the article, so long as the word 'the' is in front of it. In the page name Folketing, 'the' has to be implied, just as it is in all other page names which have omitted the word 'the'. Moonraker2 (talk) 03:49, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The official website for the Danish parliament http://www.ft.dk/English.aspx (in English) writes "The Folketing" http://www.ft.dk/~/media/Pdf_materiale/Pdf_publikationer/English/The_Folketing.ashx , so "Folketing" must be correct in English. --Regards, Necessary Evil (talk) 14:26, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

text: And today, 13 August 2023, that site quite consistently says "the Danish Parliament" with no mention of either Folketinget or the Folketing (except for the logo which shows the official Danish name "Folketinget" as part of the logo). But on some pages on the site it says "Member of the Folketing" (https://www.thedanishparliament.dk/en/searchresults?sortln=asc&party=%7B3CFDAB2C-71AF-43D1-A120-0FC5966310B3%7D&); these pages all seem to be automatically generated from a database, so the reason for stating "the Folketing" there could be that it's a technical database string that is unavailable for the normal editors to change. Just wanted to mention this. --Jhertel (talk) 12:45, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

message: The following statement is factually incorrect:
Parties select their candidates using a closed list. Thus, voters select the party of their choice, not any specific candidate.
A single glance at a Danish ballot shows this to be false.http://www.tcd.ie/Political_Science/staff/michael_gallagher/DenmarkVoting.php
It also contradicts the wikipedia page on open lists, which cites Denmark as an example.
If no one objects, I would like to correct this. 184.69.77.162 (talk) 22:26, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Closed Lists 

message: The article states:  "(Danish: Folketinget, pronounced [ˈfʌlɡ̊ətˢeŋˀð]; lit. the people's thing)"
As a Dane who has lived all my life in Denmark and speaks Danish fluently I do not believe this translation. "Folketinget" is a compound word of "Folke" = "people('s)" and "tinget", the articel states this is a conjugation of "ting" = "thing", but the correct conjugation of "ting" is "tingen". I believe the correct origin is the old danish word "tinget" which means some thing like "parliament" or "council". Thus it seems like these two danish words are being confused and that the translation is incorrect. (6- dec-2015)
:If you follow the link (which leads to Thing (assembly)) you will find that the English word "thing"  has the same double meaning as the Danish word.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 23:03, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Since the official colours of the different parties sometimes can be hard to distinguish, particularly in the parliament map, I propose to use the colours the media usually uses. For example Danish state owned DR uses red to represent A, orange for Ø, babypink for F and purple for B. This makes the parties of  the red bloc more easily distinguishable. You can see an example here: https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/politik/resultater/folketingsvalg. This could also be changed on the wiki-pages for the different elections (2019, 2015, 2011 etc.) Any thoughts? Cmaack (talk • contribs) 10:28, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Party colours 

message: I know that there is a section on it, but I am starting a new one since the other one is a year old. The current party colors that are used, especially for the left-wing parties, are #1 too similar to each other and #2 not the color used by the media (sources: DR, TV2) and familiar to most people. I have changed these, but these have gotten reverted by an editor whose view is that the official color should be used. I want people's views on this just so that it can be settled.
