Talk:Danish minority of Southern Schleswig

message: Does the sentence "In the 1920s, there were around 1,200 communists in the city of Flensburg, though the party declined in the pre-war years."  belog to this article? It looks as completely out of context. Pavel Vozenilek 01:08, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The point is that a common theory is that the communists of the 1920s were the Danes of the Nazi-period. Numbers for this theory do of course not exist. —johanneswilm 13:50, 19 Oct 2005 (UTC)

message: Is this is a real or imagined flag?  -- Himasaram 05:19, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is used by the SSW, the Danish political party in Southern Schleswig. I have seen it on Norddeutsche Rundfunk reporting from a Danish meeting, and I've also seen it as part of a row of foreign flags during Venstre's convention last year. If anybody wonders why it was included in the latter context; the SSW is one of the parties sending a speaker to Venstre's annual convention. I don't think it is used outside of SSW party contexts. I suppose the ordinary member of the Danish minority would simply use the Dannebrog. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 10:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a imagined flag. The danes in Southern Schleswig use the Dannebrog or sometimes the real Schleswig flag (here). --Ntl-fl 14:29, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Actually, the "real Schleswig flag" as you call it was the one I was thinking about. I never noticed that the lions seem to be off-centre. Valentinian T / C 14:54, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Flag 

message: During the last "months", there have been some reverts that included sometimes detailed new information, but erased also some existing ones. And a little bit POV... So the article merits some "lifting":
1.	„clear“ and „small“ in relation of the results from the 1920 election are POV and not exact.
2.	There is indeed at least one clear criterion to distinguish Danes from Germans: the language. But like it is already mentioned, this criterion is not taken into account.
3.	The number of the minority only had fluctuations since the World War (better: after the World War), so “has always been fluid” is not true.
4.	An eventual “rediscovery” of Danish roots is sometimes mentioned, but only from some “ancient” Danish nationalists to prove that Schleswig would be “old Danish country” – but those “roots” would have to be proved, which would be impossible as no ethnic origins can be investigated. For the myths about the history of Schleswig, please refer also to the Danish Web Site "http://nordslesvig.dk/cms/dan/index.php?Slesvigs_Historie:Myter_om_Slesvig"!
5.	The fluctuation can be indicated by the number of members of the Danish organizations – so the erased part should be put again into the article like it was.
6.	Some links about this fluctuation should give an idea about the reasons for those fluctuations.

message: The sentence "Danevirke Museum nær Schleswig/Slesvig" appears to be in Danish. Could someone translate that?  Liam987(talk) 15:20, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: "nær"->"near". Fixed. Thue (talk) 15:56, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Danevirke Museum nær Schleswig/Slesvig 

message: I have removed the last part of the sentence: "Since then, the minority has slowly been gaining size, and it has been claimed that it has become fashionable to be a Dane in Germany (albeit in Central and Southern Germany). - with the reference labelled: "The Danes in Germany. Example of New Danes"The Danes in Germany.  Example of New Danes (English)"
This seems to be an offspring of a lengthy edit war in German Wikipedia some years ago, with some editors being eager to demonstrate that the number of Danes in Germany is inflated and that many members of the minority are following a fad and not being 'real' Danes. The source is not relevant if it pertains to conditions in South and Central Germany, and the link is broken. I have searched for the source which appears to be a transcript of a short documentary movie (archived here and here), but it is not clear who has published the movie. It is possibly a presentation movie of the Danish minority, but quotes by individuals in the movie obviously don't have any official or scientific status. A lot of the rest of the article still appears to have been written with the aim of questioning the status and size of the Danish minority. --Sasper (talk) 00:13, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
