Talk:Petergof

message: I started to split and sort out waht in the Article was to much about the Palaces and Gardens, and I mooved it to Peterhof Palace article. to keep in this one a more balanced overview of the City Peterhof, since this article should be about the city and not about the palaces hosted in the city. Of course the Palaces should be mentionned in the article, but the detailed description and history of the palaces should be written in the article Peterhof Palace--Sosoev (talk) 14:12, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Peterhof and Peterhof Palace

message: Hi! I am in a middle of a bet battle: which one is larger, Peterhof or Versailles. I understand they are not fully comparative as Versailles is a town, too. But the actual areas of royal parks, sizes of castles, fountains, anything? For Peterhof found 1,02 sq.km, is that all?
"Lady in distress" needs your help! (country: Finland)
:As far as the structures themselves are concerned, Versailles is certainy the larger.  (Peterhof was never a primary residence - that would be the Winter Palace.  I'm not sure, but I'd hazard a guess that all of the buildings of the Peterhof complex are smaller than the old Louvre.)  I don't know about the grounds, though, as I didn't really see what Versailles has to offer in that respect. --Smack (talk) 23:42, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another question about Peterhof 

message: I'd like to know how the trick fountains are triggered and the engineering of the fountain.  Are all of them triggered by stepping on a rock?
:The original trick fountains were probably triggered by people in strategically placed booths.  I suspect that some of them may still be, but that may be a false memory.  The table with fruit is probably triggered by an electromagnetic sensor that sees people's hands. --Smack (talk) 05:17, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: At least some of them are still triggered by people in booths. Near the "tree foutain", I think, the booth is clearly visible. Another one, less obvious, is the bench with random water jets. In fact, there is a guy behind, sitting on another bench, looking like he is asleep, who use a foot pedal to start/stop the water. I have a couple of photos showing this, I can upload them on commons if anyone is interested. Schutz 21:14, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

message: ¡Hi! I'm not a full english languaje user, but I think that the history part must be in the upper part of the article, like an introduction. ¿I'm right? Saludos... Rakela 22:02, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
