The Sámi name of the city is repeatedly changed from "Romsa" to "Romssa". The latter word is found when reading f. ex. "The Municipality of Tromsø" or "the Sámis of Tromsø" in Sámi: "Romssa suohkan", "Romssa sámit". However, this is the genitive case - i.e. the extra "s" adds the meaning "of". The correct name, nominative case, is Romsa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.36.137.7 ( talk) 09:10, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Can anyone look it up and decide on whether it is known or unknown? It doesn't make sense to write "The meaning of the old name Trums is unknown. The name is from the old norwegian word "straumr" which refers to the strong currents in the narrow straits between the island and the mainland when the tide is coming in or going out."
The fernets are hardly of any notable international fame. I'm removing the name and myspace link from the page. If anyone disagrees, explain why here.
I see that "Finnmark had been devastated" has been replaced with "Finnmark had been evacuated". It is a well-known fact that all buildings were burnt down during the evacuation, and I think it's a lack of respect to the respective owners to "hide" this ... though, arguably, this has nothing to do with Tromsø
The article mentions that it got a bishops seat in 1834, but later said 1803 a bishops seat was established... What gives?
The bishop's seat for Northern Norway was established in 1803 at Alstahaug, and moved to Tromsø in 1834.
Does anyone know if the area of Troms-Finnmark have any job agencies or organisations helping people with jobhunting? Most agencies mainly cover the south of the country without much attention to the north of the country. If someone'd have information, please contact me at gerrit.df@gmail .com (without the space in front of .com)
It's a government job agency, part of the Norwegian social security system. A very good one, covers most vacant jobs in the entire country and you can search for areas, types of jobs etc.
Could somebody write that out in full? I couldn't find it in any dictionary.

...as stated at the top of the page. This statement might be concidered quite speculative, as it is not indeed known whether the Sami ethnic identity is this old.

To "Tromso". I am utterly surprised this spelling has been so far allowed. It does not fit with wikipedia's standards for Anglicization on the English wikipedia at all. 78.146.215.203 ( talk) 15:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Actually, naming guidelines allow this, if it's the common spelling in English sources. In this particular case, it's a bit difficult to determine, which is more common. If we exclude Norvegian websites "Tromso" appears to be more common than "Tromsø", but not by a very large margin, and the frequency is about the same if we count Norvegian websites. Personally, I'm in favour of the change, as there is no "ø" in the English alphabet, and it's a bit jarring and creates some issues with navigation and URLs, but the guidelines aren't very clear on this.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on

In the cityscape section, it currently says "A cable car goes up to mount Storsteinen, 4 metres (13 feet) above sea level", which would be remarkable use of a cable car. http://fjellheisen.no/en/ suggests it's 421m - but I'm just browsing.

The audio clip has a correct pronunciation of Tromsø, but with a south-norwegian dialect. It'd be better with a clip with the Tromsø dialect (which differs rather a bit) Rkarlsba ( talk) 21:22, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
At the top of the article, the IPA part of the town's pronunciation says "tɾumsœ" and it links to Help:IPA_for_Norwegian. Trouble is, the last character - "œ" - does not appear on that page. Could someone with Norwegian language skills fix that? -- Hux ( talk) 04:49, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

A recent contribution to the lead paragraph is a statement about Tromsø being the first city in Norway to have a recorded case of COVID-19. Is this appropriate for the lead? Is it important to remark on city pages that they were the origin of a pandemic in that region? Having read the Manual of Style for leads, I do not believe this bit of information is notable or important enough to be in the lead, but I am ambivalent about whether it should be on the page at all. If this information is appropriate for the page, I propose it be moved out of the lead, perhaps to the history section with a link to the Wikipedia page on COVID in Norway.
