message: The best rendering of the schwa-like sound in the first syllable in (US) English would probably be something like "VUNT-(h)ook". So I put it back in there. =J --Big Adamsky 21:55, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The name does not translate literally as Windy Corner. It means Wind Corner, or the corner where the wind blows. "Wind" in this context is a noun, not an adjective. Captainbeefart  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.116.46 (talk) 12:52, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I am disputing that claim that windhoek is the cleanest city in africa. the section may need Tertiary produced references to verify. I have tried google, nothing came up. 10:47, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The Economist, a local publication as it turns out, and not the one in the UK (!) has a blog about tourists being threatened in broad daylight. I saw nothing supporting the comment. The other was in Boer. It may have supported what was said, but the statement needs a WP:RELY source from well outside the region. Not a separate subsection even if true. Deleted. A credible article with crime statistics, health statistics, etc. will make whatever statement needs to be made. Article is not there yet.

message: I'm going to remove the statement again that the name Windhoek is derived from Dutch: By the time Windhoek was founded the language was known as Afrikaans, for over 100 years. That Afrikaans itself is derived from Dutch is, imo, not sufficiently important in this context. --Pgallert (talk) 08:10, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
