[edit]I changed the names of castellans from "Finnified" forms to the original Swedish names, as the "Finnified" names are utterly inauthentic 19th century reconstructions, most of these men were active in Sweden too, and the Swedish names are used in Swedish, English and nowadays often in Finnish historiography as well.130.234.75.164 12:28, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Monument.
[edit]To describe this firstly as a "monument" is very poor English. A monument is a structure that memorialises some important person or event or cause. This Turku Castle is a building, or a castle, or a fortification. It is not a monument. It is true that some very old structures and buildings, which are not monuments, attain the status generally of a "monument" to some bygone age or ancient historical purpose, but that is a secondary, adaptive, purpose and not the original purpose. This building is first and foremost a castle, and a monument only in a secondary sense.Eregli bob (talk) 04:31, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
- Monument has a range of meanings (the UK has scheduled monuments and the Netherlands rijksmonuments, neither of which cover just memorials), however in this case the wording needed some work. The opening sentence now reads "Turku Castle (Finnish: Turun linna, Swedish: Åbo slott) is a medieval building in the city of Turku in Finland." Nev1 (talk) 18:55, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
I fixed the page
[edit]As a native Finnish and English speaker, I did what I could to restructure the page into a more cohesive package. However, someone ought to make sure that the changes I made were correct, as the original page was somewhat vague in certain parts, and mistakes can be made.
Post any corrections here and I'll fix them. LauHir (talk) 05:37, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
