Talk:Tromsø

message: The Sámi name of the city is repeatedly changed from "Romsa" to "Romssa". The latter word is found when reading f. ex. "The Municipality of Tromsø" or "the Sámis of Tromsø" in Sámi: "Romssa suohkan", "Romssa sámit". However, this is the genitive case - i.e. the extra "s" adds the meaning "of". The correct name, nominative case, is Romsa.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.36.137.7 (talk) 09:10, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Romsa or Romssa

message: Can anyone look it up and decide on whether it is known or unknown? It doesn't make sense to write "The meaning of the old name Trums is unknown.
The name is from the old norwegian word "straumr" which refers to the strong currents in the narrow straits between the island and the mainland when the tide is coming in or going out."
:: I have written in all the three theories I know about. To anyone who feel strongly about the theory that the name derives from Sámi (Pros and Cons): Please leave the entry as it is. Whether one strongly agrees or strongly disagrees, the fact remains that the theory exists - and thus, it should be listed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.36.137.7 (talk) 10:06, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

message: For Tromsø, there is very good data available at the world weather information service, link here. I suggest this data is used for average highs and lows, as this is the standard for the other main cities in Norway. Orcaborealis (talk) 21:53, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest that this part of the current climate section is removed from the Tromsø - article and inserted in the Northern Norway - article, as it is relevant to the entire coast of Northern Norway: Tromsø's warm climate, relative to other locations at the same latitude, is often attributed to the relatively warm North Atlantic Current, an extension of the Gulf Stream- It has been shown that northern Europe's mild climate is caused primarily by intercontinental weather patterns driven by North America's mountain ranges. But in Northern Norway, this ocean current fundamendally changes climate, and the coast of Northern Norway would be icebound in winter if not for the warm ocean current.

message: In the cityscape section, it currently says "A cable car goes up to mount Storsteinen, 4 metres (13 feet) above sea level", which would be remarkable use of a cable car. http://fjellheisen.no/en/ suggests it's 421m - but I'm just browsing.

message: A recent contribution to the lead paragraph is a statement about Tromsø being the first city in Norway to have a recorded case of COVID-19. Is this appropriate for the lead? Is it important to remark on city pages that they were the origin of a pandemic in that region? Having read the Manual of Style for leads, I do not believe this bit of information is notable or important enough to be in the lead, but I am ambivalent about whether it should be on the page at all. If this information is appropriate for the page, I propose it be moved out of the lead, perhaps to the history section with a link to the Wikipedia page on COVID in Norway.
