Talk:Kirkenes

message: I've edited the Geography section, mostly regarding language issues, and added imperial units for all measurements. I removed a reference to the temperature in Pasvik, since this is an article about Kirkenes, and Pasvik related items should either be in their own article or in the Sør-Varanger article. The English in the rest of this article needs some work as well, and the article as a whole is rather light on content and illustrations.

message: The distances on that picture of the signpost are way out of goose. I make it a bit more than 2000km to Berlin and about 1400km to Oslo along a great circle. Do others agree? How did these figures end up on the sign? 79.64.167.96 (talk) 00:18, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It is probably along roads, and along the E6 road which before 1985 went through Berlin, München and more. It about 800 km shorter to use the E4 road instead. --BIL (talk) 12:35, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Signpost

message: In the 1977 Swedish television series Sinkadus (episode 4) Kirkenes is briefly mentioned. One member of the gang of criminals goes north to hide, and upon returning says, "Jag for til Kirkenes i Nord-Norge. Men det hjälpte ju inte. Jag bodde på et sketet litet hotell som luktade tran och rutten fisk. 3 1/2 månader. Det var för jävligt." Translation: "I went to Kirkenes in Northern Norway. But that didn't help. I lived in a filthy little hotel which smelled of cod liver oil and rotten fish. 2 1/2 months. It really sucked." I think it conveys if not a glimpse into historical reality, then at least it may convey some stereotypical perceptions about Northern Norway. __meco (talk) 12:58, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

message: "Ready for oil boom at the gateway to Russia" is an article that contains a lot of information that could probably be used in the present article. __meco (talk) 17:14, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

message: *"There is now substantial optimism in the town as a consequence of the increased petroleum-drilling activity in the Barents Sea (including Russian activity). Bøkfjorden, [... not a] harbour, has attracted interest from several large companies." 89.8.75.135 (talk) 20:28, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
