thread_title: History section, lacking citations

message: Someone with some solid, data-based info might add a sentence or two about the significant number of eastern-German expellees who settled in Schleswig-Holstein after 1945. A very large number were landed there after being evacuated by sea from Danzig (Gdańsk) and Pillau (Baltiysk) before those ports were overrun by the Red Army. I read somewhere that a fairly large number remained in Schleswig-Holstein.

message: Was there any kind of referendum - or discussion of having a referendum - in Schleswig-Holstein after World War Two so that the remainder of Schleswig could join Denmark? My mother, who grew up there, has mentioned that there was a referendum and that sentiment among native Schleswig-Holsteiners was in favour of joining Denmark. However, she says that the large number of refugees in the area did not favour the proposal and it was defeated. Now, I'm not clear on whether such a referendum actually took place or was just proposed but never happened. Or maybe my mother is just confusing the 1920 Referendum with events just after WW II. She describes these events as if they happened while she was around but the 1920 Referendum was before she was born so I'm inclined to think that at least talk of a referendum took place after WW II. 
It seems to me that if such a referendum took place after WW II it should be included in this article, even though Schleswig-Holstein ultimately remained part of Germany. Even serious talk of such a referendum seems like something that should be mentioned, even if it is only a sentence or two.

text: To my knowledge it is not taught in school, however I have heard that there is a "movement" to revive low German in order to preserve the area's culture. My parents, who grew up there during WWII, are probably the last generation to really speak it on a daily basis. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT PRAISE  19:17, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Someone may need to look into the legalities of the land seal we are using. The state website suggests, there is an "Approved" public use state seal and one that is for use by the STATE ONLY!!! Just something to look into.MKLPTR 22:18, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Land Seal 

message: Some ethnolonguistic studies conclude that the state's namesake and the term "Slesvig" was partially derived from a tribe of West Slavs known as "Slavsvick" that once lived in the state between the 5th century and 10th century AD.
This really needs a citation or else it needs to be deleted. I'm quite sure this comes from "Schlei's vík" (Bay of the Schlei - right where the town of Schleswig is currently located). In the Knýlinga Saga, the term "Slésvik" is used complete with native Old Norse grammar (indicating it is a term native to the language): "Ok er Knútr lávarðr litla stund heima verit í ríki sínu þá aflaði hann smiða ok lét gera kastala tveim megin Slésvikr, þar sem mjóst er yfir sundit, er útan gengr at Heiðabý." Can anyone back up claims of a heretofore never heard of Slavic tribe? 64.52.114.34 (talk) 19:15, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure why Neumünster should be called "notable". Usually the three cities every German knows are Kiel (Capital, Harbour, Kieler Förde, Kiel Week, THW Kiel), Lübeck (rich history, tourist magnet, Hanseatic League, marzipan, World Heritage Site, Holstentor) and Flensburg (nationwide database of traffic violators, northernmost city of Germany, Flensburg Firth). But Neumünster has nothing to offer.--212.53.170.18 (talk) 17:39, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a citation for the last time this may have been used?  I have never seen this term, in reading any contemporary texts from the past 300 years.  I suspect that it may have been used as recently as the mid-1800th century, but that is just a guess.  Since the article's author as stated with conviction, "The former English name was Sleswick-Holsatia...", I'm curious to know.
Best regards,

message: The section on the "Plebiscite in 1920" contains this sentence: "In 1937, the Nazis passed the so-called Greater Hamburg Act (Groß-Hamburg-Gesetz), where the nearby Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg was expanded, to encompass towns that had formally belonged to the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein."
I suspect that the word "formally" is a mistake and that "formerly" is meant.  I don't know enough about the subject to be bold, however, so I'll just flag the question here. JamesMLane t c 17:35, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
