Talk:Gävle

University or college?
Article has been recently edited to change the University to a University College. The website for the organisation declares itself a University. I'm confused! --Oscarthecat 20:43, 31 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi Oscarthecat. I don't blame you, I find it confusing too. Then I read the article university college on the section about Sweden, and it became clear. Regards, Fred-Chess 21:17, 31 October 2005 (UTC)


 * The Swedish National Agency for Higher Education (and ultimately the government) determines if an institution has the status of a university (universitet) or a university college (högskola).. The list of all Swedish institutions of higher education can be found here, where you will se that Högskolan i Gävle is translated as "University College of Gävle".

 * Thanks for helping clear this up folks. I've added a paragraph to the University_College_of_G%C3%A4vle claritying why the confusion and what the actual answer is. --Oscarthecat 21:47, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Etymologin till namnet Gävle

Ordet gäv-le betyder den lilla fullgud och utmärk ställen (i gemförelse med Upp-sala), och om en mytisk stad vid namnet Gimle vet vi att ” det är en sal med guldtak i Asgård (Sverige), till vilken de rättrådiga kommer, efterdöden i en kommande tidsålder. Gimle beskrives som ”det hos som skönaste av alla (=gäv-ala)”. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.252.234.224 (talk) 08:21, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Beardfish - cheap marketing?
I have lived in Gävle for most of my life, and I'm very much into music. I have never heard of that band. Never. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eurythmech (talk • contribs) 22:40, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I might recall the name, though I'd question them being noteworthy enough to fit in here. The whole music section is pretty strange actually, more or less unknown bands are mentioned while more famous artits like Di Leva isn't... OlderNick (talk) 23:26, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
