message: Normally the flag of Bornholm is produced as a green cross on red background, and not with white borders on the cross as shown in the article (oct. 23rd 2005), but even on Bornholm some people discuss the correct design. I assume most people choose the two-colour model as "the real flag", but I am not updated on the debate since I moved from the island in '99 G®iffen 21:58, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: The flag

message: It is common knowledge that large amounts of chemical weapons (a lot of it mustard gas) was dumped in the sea around Bornholm and trawlers often catch it in their nets (or whatever it is they use).
Is this worth mentioning? Opinions on a postcard...
:Yes, the trawl is also a kind of net...
:I think we might need some more info to get a total picture of the problem before writing a paragraph about it.
:One of the relatively big investment flops was turning an old german bunker into a mustard gas storage, where m.gas should be put when found. As far as I know, nobody ever put anything but work and money into the project, since easier and better ways were found every time a ship came in for cleaning.
:As long as we're on this discussion page, it might be worth mentioning that most fishermen in the area knows the procedure of walking backwards from gas poisoned areas on the ship while taking off clothes and equipment on the way, and then calling the authorities for further instructions. Though some of "the old scools" just put on gloves and re-dump the bombs! G®iffen 16:02, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Not to sure about this one...It's primarily only some dialects of Nynorsk that retain three genders. And even at that Nynorsk is by far the minority language of Norway. Bokmål (being based on Danish) has lost the female gender.

message: It says that it is only east of most of Denmark. Which part of Denmark is further east than it? Thanks. TheTrojanHought (talk) 21:59, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I think it originally said "east of Denmark", which it obviously can't be as it is a part of Denmark – it would be like placing Hawaii "west of the United States". The current compromise is probably not the best imaginable though. -- Jao (talk) 22:31, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: East of Denmark

message: :A Russian (Soviet) declaration after World War II stated that the placement of "foreign soldiers" (i.e., NATO forces) on Bornholm would be considered a declaration of war against Russia, and that Denmark should keep troops on it at all times to protect it from foreign aggression. This caused diplomatic problems at least twice: once when an American helicopter landed outside the city of Svaneke due to engine problems in a NATO exercise over the Baltic Sea, and once (sometime between 1999 and 2003) when the Danish government suggested shutting down Almegårdens Kaserne, the local military facility, since "the island could quickly be protected by troops from surrounding areas and has no strategic importance after the fall of the Iron Curtain".
How can they object to NATO forces being present in part of a NATO member country (Denmark)? And what gives them the right to object in the first place? Why not object to troops in any other NATO territory? What is special about Bornholm? --71.141.120.68 (talk) 08:19, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

message: "In 2009, Bjørn Friese embarrassed the whole graphic design community by releasing FRIEZE[1] onto the world wide web."
Is this spam?  There is no evidence put forth to suggest that Mr. Friese did any such embarrassing.

message: When a visitor looks at the map of Bornholm, it is difficult to evaluate its size. So the dimensions of Bornholm would be easier to comprehend with a scale bar. If there is someone who knows how to create things like that, it would be much appreciated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marsu (talk • contribs) 07:33, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Bornholm is also a present family name which Swedish main branch in the middle of the 17th century originated from the area in the south of Sweden named Skåne. Prior to this period Skåne was Danish so the family trace have been difficult to find. From the 17th century to the 19th century the main occupation in the family was master shoemaker i.e. a private entrepreneur with up to 25 employees and apprentices. One family lived at the manor Axelwold but did not own the manor. One family owned a large estate in the vicinity of the Swedish town of Trelleborg during the 17th and 18th century.
Even in USA today there are a couple of families with the family name Bornholm. Some of them originate from a family that emigrated from Copenhagen (Denmark) before the first World War. Additional families can be found in Australia (e.g. South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania). The connection between the Swedish, American and Australian familys is unknown. There were also a family with the name Bornholm in northern Germany in the 18th century and there is a doctor with this name in Germany today.
The Swedish family consists today of two branches.
In the southwest Australia there is also a hamlet Bornholm near a small town with the name Denmark.
These towns are old mining towns and the result of great immigrations during the 19th century.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.83.50.243 (talk) 05:58, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

message: Though I am not qualified to make the edits myself, the history section for Bornholm can go back far further than it does currently, at least to the period of the Roman Empire and likely earlier. Pliny the Elder wrote of Bornholm (Baunonia), and it is possible that the Greek explorer Pytheas actually traveled there in the 4th century B.C.E. It is discussed as a possible ancestral home of Germanic tribes that later inhabited the Vistula region.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.155.21.100 (talk) 05:37, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

message: My edits from 26 and 27 March need to be removed. I was trying to fill in the Municipal council: Election graphic (numbers) for 2002 - which are correct. But I have made a mistake and tried - but failed - to correct it several times. I need my edits from 26 and 27 March to just be removed. If someone could then fill in the election results from 2002 I would be grateful.--Bornsommer (talk) 07:03, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

message: I would like to challange the statement "Bornholm and Ertholmene comprise the last remaining Danish territory in Skåneland east of Øresund, having been surrendered to Sweden in 1658, but regained by Denmark in 1660 after a local revolt". Though not east of Øresund and thus technically correct, the still Danish island of Anholt was also a part of Skånelandene – Halland to be exact.--Marginataen (talk) 19:18, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
