There was a picture of a church on the Helgalund page. I think it is acutally in Lund, so I've moved it here, but I'd like a check from anyone who can tell for sure.
According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the city was founded around 1020 by the Danish king Canute; and later became the seat of a bishopric in 1060 and the seat of the archbishop of all Scandinavia in 1103. This doesn't comporate with what is said in the Wiki article. Someone more knowledgeable in the subject should fix this. -- Anittas 04:21, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure I understand what this line means: "when the village of Uppåkra was moved to Lund's location, by King Sweyn I Forkbeard". Does it mean that the village of Uppåkra was abandoned and the settlement was moved to what is now, Lund, or does it mean that the village was Uppåkra is identified as the predecessor of Lund? -- Anittas 02:55, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
If I am correct, Bornholm was ceded to Sweden in 1658, even though it was reclaimed by Denmark in the Treaty of Copenhagen in 1660. I will go ahead and edit it. -- Warfvinge 19:12, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
I've never heard anyone from Lund pronounce the name of their town like the current IPA suggests. Not being from town myself I'm not going to change it, but it would be nice if somebody who lives there could comment and possibly correct it. JdeJ 12:37, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
The language in the text is horrible.
It's not just "one of the largest", in fact, it is the largest university of Scandinavia with more than 40,000 students.//Arial --— Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.254.149.138 ( talk) 2006-11-15T10:16:43 (CET)
What is the definition of "native"? I wonder because while Carolus Linnaeus spent some time in Lund, he was born in the province of Småland (some 150 km north of Lund), and did most of his work attached to the university of Uppsala. StaffanBaloo 17:25, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
I think that perhaps the physicist Janne Rydberg should be added because he worked all his life in Lund but he was born in Halmstad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janne_Rydberg 213.113.127.116 ( talk) 12:06, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
Given that this section has expanded to include people born within the city, close to the city, has lived in the city, or just passed through it on a journey (Linnaeus for instance), I really don't see any reason why not anyone with any vague connection should be included. Presumably every reader of the page will automatically have sufficient relation to Lund to add their own name to the list. Dórmouse ( talk) 05:32, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
I think, this method has the big advantage, that it is automatic, so that we do not need to make a new map image for every location, which doesnt suck... The equirectangular projection is nothing bad, too... -- Homer Landskirty 16:00, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Some articles have to long introductions. In this case the historical facts mentioned there are more or less repeated in the History section just below. Confer whith other cities such as Växjö, Uppsala or Västerås. The introduction should IMO be very short and concise and just contain some very basic facts. I have tried to change that in tghis article, but it seems impossible. Could the "reverters" please tell me why so much info should be mentioned twice in the articles. -- Muniswede 09:40, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Is Lund really "very close" to Sturup airport? is it 30-40km? Is that really close? Maybe... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.16.134.69 ( talk) 12:51, 27 November 2008 (UTC) In Sweden, yes. Take a look at the country map, the distances are enourmous.
I've lived in Lund for most of my life but I've never heard of "Lundum town". I've never heard anyone use the word. Basicly, it is not used and I removed the reference to it. There are a number of other factual errors in the article. Uppsala is *not* the other old town in sweden. Sigtuna is however and it is located near Uppsala. Uppåkra was according to current archealogical evidence founded some time aroud year 0, probably in the fist century b.c. and moved to the current place - Lund - in 990. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.253.76.62 ( talk) 12:27, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

This is English Wikipedia ! What may be well-known in Scandinavia rarely are here - at the entire community ! Hence - do not just translate from (the poorly sourced SW Wiki) without adding sources here ! And this is best done by what we call 'inline references' ! Example: "Lund is a bishop's seat." {ref} https://www.svenskakyrkan.se/organisation {/ref} - in a real contribution, please just change the "{" to "<" and "}" to ">". Currenntly does the article contain potentially interesting historical matters about allied bombings of Lund and Malmö during the end of the world war. But who knows ? It may have become invented out of the blue. On top of that follows intriguing speculations of why - and someone else appear to say it was done "accidentally". All I've heard (from my dad and his dad when I was younger), is that some British/American bombers emergency landed in Scania on their way back from raids on Germany. And also - Swedish anti-aircraft guns shot down a few themselves. But I cannot put that in writing at our Wiki - without binary stored (so called "digital"), written or Television documentary - sources (in the latter case be thorough with airing channel, time, title, producer(s), narrator etc). Also, I know "Lundakarnevalen" takes place every fourth year. But do they know that in Tromsø, in Gambia, Donegal, Vermont, New Zeeland or Petropavlovsk ? I don't think so. So please improve the quality of sources ! Now that English Wikipedia is indeed very thorough with sources, as inline references. If only sources in Swedish or Danish can be found (for this article), can these be used (in "inliners", not the actual text, of course.) Also must the Quality of used sources we use, follow WP:NPOV and "about OR", also read WP:PRIMARY and WP:SECONDARY Boeing720 ( talk) 00:36, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Today this article has been thrown around by people in my social media feeds.
I'm not sure if it's appropriate to include (although it would seem so on first glance), so asking here first.

This piece seems rather confusing. Moving the establishment of Lund to 990 CE wouldn't make it the oldest city in Sweden? The reason it's been mentioned as a candidate among the oldest city in current Sweden is that some speculate it might have been founded earlier than that, as far as I can tell? / Julle ( talk) 21:45, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
