Why not title this article Linz, Austria and have Linz be a redirect? -- maveric149 — Preceding undated comment added 23:55, 9 June 2002 (UTC)
No, not that I know of. The problem is that around here there is an informal method for automatically disambiguating pages that lists the city then the country. Seeing this as the normal way of naming articles, another user might automatically make a link for Linz, Austria when wanting to link to the city Linz. Usually only very well known cities, such as Paris or Rome are listed w/o their country name. Again, there is not a set naming convention on this issue and is something that needs to be further worked out. However, at the very least whoever makes an article with just the city name should also make a redirect to catch any links to "city, country". -- maveric149 — Preceding undated comment added 00:08, 10 June 2002 (UTC)
Well Linz at least for the german speaking part of the world is referred following:
A couple of years ago it was still common to refer to Linz (Austria) as Linz an der Donau and to Linz (Germany) as Linz am Rhein. No inhabitant of either of the two settlements would even consider Linz, Austria or Linz, Germany. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pepitschek ( talk • contribs) 18:08, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Dreifaltigkeitssäule and Pestsäule aren't the same thing, although even in Linz they are confused. The Pestsäule on the Auerspergplatz (near the Kreuzschwestern school) is much older, but also much smaller. There, infact, exist other Pestsäulen, namely in the southern suburbs of Linz. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.58.16.235 ( talk) 21:57, 20 December 2003 (UTC)
There was too much emphasis on Hitler in the original article. Not that you can deny the links to Hitler which existed in the city. The city had a past before the second world war, although it was rather dorment for huge periods of time. So I felt free to add several other important milestones the city had in the past, and some additional locations in the present. There aren´t too many of those anyway, given the provincial character of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.41.244.42 ( talk) 08:57, 12 July 2004 (UTC)
Just curious: If the plague was important enough for them to build the column, why isn't mentioned in the history? Plagues tend to warp history in different directions. John (Jwy) 22:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
The column wasn't built only because of the plague. Its name should correctly be translated into Trinity Column. It was built to commemorate the deliverance from the dangers of war (1704), fire (1712) and the plague (1713). The plague actually spared the city. I don't think the inscription says anything about the victims or that the column was built to remember them like it is said in the article. --cay — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.66.41.33 ( talk) 00:35, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I have no idea if Lask is, but I don´t think that POV comments (which I have twice deleted) are of much help, or use.

LASK is definitely the oldest Soccer Club of Upper Austria. -- Ricky59 16:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Vienna is the oldest soccer club in Austria. At least Sturm Graz is older, too. —Preceding

"Kepler is the namesake of the local public university, the only one in Austria that embraces the cam stem."
Am I missing something here? I can't find a reference to that phrase "cam stem" on Wikipedia or Google. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.57.83.162 ( talk) 20:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I edited the history section somewhat. My knowledge of Linz extends basically to the part pertaining to Hitler, so that is what I changed. The whole section needs references, though. I know of a couple for the Nazi period so may add them if I can get around to it. Dmhaglund 13:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
"The Posthof" is not mentioned, as well as various other institutions. -- andreasegde 17:38, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
I tried to mention some important cultural institutions here in Linz, but apparently HU12 is not the same opinion about Kapu, Stadtwerkstadt and Posthof. -- ThomasDerflinger 09:33, 19 Feburary 2008 (UTC)
I have put in the Stadtwerkstadt and the Posthof, with references. To delete them would be a very bad idea.-- Dieterbrodnik ( talk) 20:37, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the claim in the article that Frederic "Fritz" Austerlitz was born in Linz for now. The references to Billman and Satchell make no mention of this and appear to have been copied directly from the article on Fred Astaire, along with the Bain reference. Indeed Billman, on p.1, states that Frederic "was born into a family of brewers in Vienna, Austria". Although I am aware of some unpublished research which claims Linz as his birthplace, such research will have to be published and pass peer review before it can be incorporated into Wikipedia, as per WP:V.

User:Joobo added an empty "religion" subsection to the population section, and immediately templated it as empty. My main point of discussion here would be: Do we actually need a religion section in this article (and if so why). I would argue that in the context of Linz the role of religion is small enough to be omitted altogether and would argue to keep the past consensus (by acceptance of status quo) of not having a religion section. However if there are convincing arguments by a number of editors that a religion section should be included I am happy to discuss. (PS We should keep in mind that with about 70,000 kB, the article currently already substantially surpasses the suggested maximum of 60,000 kB in WP:Length. PPS I would argue that if consensus goes towards adding a religion section we first develop it before including a section header for an empty section.) Arnoutf ( talk) 18:39, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
