message: Noone speaks Serbo-Croatian language. This language was never spoken by noone with exception of some communist leaders that created this articifial language in 1961 and later promoted the name of this language it in written media across the globe. Even this artificial language seized its existance in 1990. Now it is, according to the article, official in Switzerland. Croats speak Croatian language and Serbs Serbian language. I know that it is much more simple from the Swiss perspective to name it one language, but try not being so cheap when there is such an important issue such as national language on the table. Austrians did the same during the existance of Austria-Hungary and this brought only trouble and war later in the history.Hammer of Habsburg (talk) 22:19, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Demographics and the languages 

message: The article claims without sources that "Davos" is usually pronounced /'dɑːvɒs/.  This contradicts my own experience, which is that it is usually /'dɑːvoʊs/ in the US and /'dævɒs/ in British English.  See. e.g.  for the US pronounciation and  for the British.  My Longman Pronunciation Dictionary gives both forms with second-syllable stress, which seems obsolete in English today.  Grover cleveland (talk) 15:42, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Harry Clarke was president of the Irish society of Davos and was one of Ireland´s most important artist´s of the 20th Century. There is a project in place to secure placement of a commemorative plaque to Clarke in the town. Considerable correspondence, photographs etc. exist from Clarke´s time here. Please do not undo the addition. The alphabetical ordering was an error. Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.58.11.198 (talk) 01:24, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I'm thinking of editing, updating and improving the Notable people section of the Davos article. I would suggest the following:
* acquire more items selected from {Category:People from Davos} (25 current items)
* remove current items without a Wiki article in either English or German
* add a link to a German Wiki entry as a second choice to English wiki
* leave entries in alpha order but group them together in four or five subcategories - like Sport / Politics / Arts / Acting / Science, like  Lausanne#Notable_people
* add one or two photos
However, I see that the Davos article can be quite contentious, so I thought I'd consult in advance; any views?

replies: text: My only concern is that this article tends to attract a lot of "this celebrity vacations here often" entries. However, right now it looks pretty reasonable. As long as all the entries have a strong connection to Davos and you can clean up the numerous red links, go for it.Tobyc75 (talk) 13:32, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notable residents and people connected to Davos 

message: Sorry, I made a large edit and forgot to enter a description. I split away the non-physical parts of this subsection into "Political divisions", which I moved away from "Politics". I created a small description of the topography of the village of Davos itself and tried to make this distinct for the description for the entire municipality/Gemeinde.Cobbunt (talk) 19:19, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
