So, while the text perhaps could be better integrated into the article instead of being in a trivia section, there's no need to remove it.-- Noe ( talk) 22:09, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
"In Denmark, heights of buildings are often compared to the height of the Rundetårn."
Are they? I can't say I've noticed. Can we get some inputs on this? -- 85.81.86.44 ( talk) 11:50, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
It used to be a commonly used expression, stemming back from the days when Rundetårn was one of the tallest buildings of Copenhagen. It is notably used in Hans Christian Andersens fairytale The Tinderbox, where the largest dog have "eyes the size of Rundetårn". However I do not think it is commonly used in modern Danish anymore. -- Saddhiyama ( talk) 09:56, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
The article reads "The University of Copenhagen discontinued operations of the observatory in 1860 but in 1828 it was reconstructed as an observatory with access for amateur astronomers and the general public from mid-October to mid-March." There seems to me to be something wrong with the logic here. Are the dates correct? Ipigott ( talk) 13:20, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
I very much do not believe the aa spelling is the commonname in English, and it certainly is not in Danish. The name of the website is irrelevant as evidence since Danish webpages almost always substitute aa for å - without that having any relevance for the correctness of the spelling. ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 20:42, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Rundetårn – Per
WP:COMMONNAME. Yes, Rundetaarn is the official spelling, but not really used in everyday life. The lead should instead note the official spelling in the first paragraph. ―
