I started to split and sort out waht in the Article was to much about the Palaces and Gardens, and I mooved it to Peterhof Palace article. to keep in this one a more balanced overview of the City Peterhof, since this article should be about the city and not about the palaces hosted in the city. Of course the Palaces should be mentionned in the article, but the detailed description and history of the palaces should be written in the article Peterhof Palace-- Sosoev ( talk) 14:12, 21 January 2010 (UTC) -- Sosoev ( talk) 14:12, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Sosoev
So the Sea Channel extends all the way to the sea? I'd like to see more information about the channel, whether it's salt-water, when it was constructed, etc. Kent Wang 16:53, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hi! I am in a middle of a bet battle: which one is larger, Peterhof or Versailles. I understand they are not fully comparative as Versailles is a town, too. But the actual areas of royal parks, sizes of castles, fountains, anything? For Peterhof found 1,02 sq.km, is that all? "Lady in distress" needs your help! (country: Finland)
I'd like to know how the trick fountains are triggered and the engineering of the fountain. Are all of them triggered by stepping on a rock?
== Peter's work area (Cottage Palace?) and the dining tower - no mention? Our guide had us spend more time in the seaside cottage. Marching through one ornate room after another gets a little monotonous. The cottage was supposed to be a direct expression of how Peter really liked to live and work. I'm surprised it got no mention in the article. I also remember a tower on the west side on the Gulf where the dining table was raised through the floor already loaded up. It was to allow the diners to enjoy the view without waiters carrying everything up and down the stairs.
As for the trick fountains, our guide showed us where the levers were. Everything looked mechanical to me. Step on a plate and it let water in.
I heard that Stalinf bombed peterhof when he overheard that Hitler was planning to celebrate newyearseve there, and that the red army killed hundreds of its own civilians with this action. Is it true? -- 145.99.202.92 16:35, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
¡Hi! I'm not a full english languaje user, but I think that the history part must be in the upper part of the article, like an introduction. ¿I'm right? Saludos... Rakela 22:02, 14 November 2006 (UTC) sorry by my english... i just love my languaje...

Does anyone know if the sentry story is real or not? -- Sy / (talk) 18:34, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
What is Petergof for God's sake? Russian g = Latin - h Russian x - Latin - ch Why does Wikipedia (the fake Encyclopedia or the world's ultimate collection of misinformation) try so persistently to present all Russian proper names phonetically - English is not phonetic language, Russian is NOT phonetic either (though more so than English) pronunciation changes over time, there are both historic conventions of how placenames are spelled and also proper rules of transliteration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.190.74.28 ( talk) 13:00, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Well the English spelling in this case is completely incorrect, but "г" does is not always used for latinic "h" and "х" certainly doesn't = "ch" that is the letter "ч" While indeed "Petergof" is completely incorrect, you are adding "misinformation" as well with your poor understanding of my native language.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.177.121.133 ( talk • contribs)
