message: nitpicky, but i believe the initial [œ] should be long or semi-long. it's the same phonetic variation found in 'öra,' although since the stress is on the last syllable the difference is not that audible in casual speech. interestingly, if it was spelled with two r's, "örrebro," it would most definitely be short, but likely the stress would shift to the first syllable (with secondary stress on the last one). k kisses 17:33, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  pronunciation 

message: Article began something like this "Örebro [œrɛˈbruː] is a city with 140 000 inhabitants, the seat of Örebro Municipality and the capital of Örebro County in Sweden.[1] It is the sixth largest city in Sweden."
Very confusing - do the 140.000 live in the city, the municipality or the county ? The figure refers to the municipality, but one had to go to SWWIKI to see which. I have also moved down the City to 7th place, as SWWIKI.
Here we should do better than on local Wikipedias, so please be CLEAR about figures. Boeing720 (talk) 23:59, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please be clear on figures ! 

message: The statement "Örebro literally means Penny bridge." is false. It actually comes from an older meaning of "ör" which is cognate with "ayre" (the "bridge" was once a fording place). I don't have proper sources so I'm not updating the page, but I live in the city. Here is something though (see entry on Örebro and on ör in http://runeberg.org/svetym/1325.html and the next few pages).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.253.243.173 (talk) 22:08, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The original link to Svenskt ortnamnslexikon PDF in the article seems to be dead, but the PDF is still available for viewing online on multiple sites, e.g. http://sprakochfolkminnen.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2%3A1175717&dswid=772 or https://www.isof.se/lar-dig-mer/publikationer/publikationer/2016-01-01-svenskt-ortnamnslexikon
I am not sure how to properly update this reference (it's currently number 8) so I'd appreciate if someone could do that? Both sources allow linking to the PDF directly. — Immutability (talk) 16:16, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
