message: Is "Oresund" with an "O" really the official English name of this region, like the official English name of Göteborg is Gothenburg, or is it just written without diacritics, like "Jyvaskyla" for Jyväskylä? JIP | Talk 18:27, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The English version of the official webpage spells it as "The Øresund Region" . Väsk 19:25, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

text: The name was a polical decision, but it ended with "Øresund" after a study showed that foreigners thought that looked more exotic and interesting. 129.142.143.67 (talk) 16:10, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Very well then. Time to change the name of the article. Øresund it is! -- Henriok (talk) 10:20, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

text: What I think is strangest is that the name of the article is Oresund Region and at the same time the article begins with: Properly spelled with diacritics. So according to the article, the name of the article is a misspelling, if I interpret it correctly. A compromise sometimes used is a Danish ø and a Swedish ö combined, an o with both the line and the dots. I think this is mostly for marketing reasons though and not an official spelling, but it could be mentioned anyway. Jiiimbooh (talk) 21:54, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that Oresund is an OK version that don't have to chose between the Danish Øresund and the Swedish Öresund. That local authorities agree on a common writing form in marketing texts is one thing (sometimes ending in horrible hybrids like Øresundsbron - neither Swedish Öresundsbron nor Danish Øresundsbroen), but there is no unfortunately no common way to write the name of this water on the two sides of it. Although I see the article Oresund is found at Øresund. Tomas e (talk) 09:56, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If we can agree that Oresund is a correct spelling in English I see no problem with that. I just thought it was strange that the article claims that Oresund isn't correct and at the same time having the article named "Oresund Region". /Jiiimbooh (talk) 23:32, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Perhaps we can change the word properly to either usually, often, sometimes, or officially: "Often spelled with diacritics". /Jiiimbooh (talk) 23:39, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Is this thing real or is it an EU creation? Regions aren't usually international.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.189.103.145 (talk) 17:33, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Regions frequently are international: linguistic regions (France, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg), economic regions (EU, EEC), cultural regions (Basque Country), etc.  I think the Øresund case is a combination of marketing and "real-life", if you will.  There is no denying the fact that Danes live in Scania, and Scanians work in Copenhagen.  The trains are coordinated in the area.  There is a higher degree of mutual bilinguality in the two main cities, when compared to say Århus and Stockholm.  ConorBrady.ie (caint) 19:07, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I have reverted an undiscussed move of the article made earlier this year, back to the old name "Øresund Region", since that's what the geographical region is still known as, and a geographical region is all there is, not a political region. And there will with all probability never be a political region, both because of it covering parts of two different countries and because of the total lack of interest in such a project shown by the Swedish government. Other names, including "Copenhagen Malmö Region" and "Greater Copenhagen", have been or are used for marketing purposes only by the Danish and Swedish regions and municipalities that are part of the geographical region, but that should be covered in a separate article about the marketing committee that has been formed by those regions and municipalities. - Tom | Thomas.W  talk 15:55, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
