editthere is no such city as Gothenburg in Sverige (the country you insist on calling Sweden), only English speaking idiots call Göteborg "Gothenburg". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.225.196.192 (talk) 11:39, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi there and Welcome to Wikipedia, please sign your posts in the future. And this is the english Wikipedia and Gothenburg is a well known name for Göteborg in english and will therefore always be used. --Krm500 16:38, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Yet, it clearly says that the US navy and many English speaking newspapers refer to the city as Göteborg, not Gothenburg. Therefore I think it should be as Göteborg.
Capital?
editThis is rather conflicting. In the paragraph it says that Göteborg is the capital, yet when you have the table to the right, it states Vänersborg.

Never mind, I just fixed it myself.
Spelling
editWhy is Östergötland County spelled without an "a", whereas Västra Götaland County is spelled with an "a", although both derive from Götaland? 80.71.142.166 (talk) 14:11, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
