I am a bit surprised by [ˈɡɵ̂sːtaviːa] as supposed to represent how the name is pronounced in Swedish. It is always pronounced [ɡɵsˈtɑːvja], in my experience.-- Ronnlund ( talk) 08:47, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
Image:Saint-barthelemy.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Very bad case of Swenglish here. Hope to clean it up some day. You have to know Swedish and English to understand a lot of it. SergeWoodzing ( talk) 23:23, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Dear user:SergeWoodzing, this edit makes me think. You know english better than me, but anyway I'm not sure you are right here (but I do not change because I'm not an expert, therefor I ask you to aid me). I looked at Namesake (search on enwp for "named after" and you come there). The first sentence is: "A namesake is a person named after another, or more broadly, a thing (such as a company, place, ship, building, or concept) named after a person". This made me think you are wrong (it is not swenglish), however futher down in the article it is written "Buildings, such as the Trump Tower, and companies, like the Ford Motor Company, are often named for their founders or owners." which is as you wrote. Which one is correct here? Adville ( talk) 20:05, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
A
namesake is something that someone who has the exact same name as something someone else and, in English, thus can either be has been named for or after the thing that bears the exact same name the first of those persons in time. Gustavia is not a namesake of a Swedish king but, properly prepositioned, I believe, is named for, not after, that person. --
