    Montage[edit]

    @Intforce: - I have reverted of the extended montage/collage that was added by User:TheCarlos1975. Whilst I do not have a problem with the images themselves, the size of the montage is much too large and appears unaesthetic, thus diminishing the article's encyclopedic nature, per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images. This is a B-graded article and removal of clutter is appropriate. Oliszydlowski (talk) 16:09, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    No matter who added them, they since become the stable version. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images does not specify the number of images that may be included. Just glancing over cities like New York CityorWashington, D.C. (which is a FA), the number of images seems to be in line with other articles. I do not think that removing two images would improve the article, but that is my opinion. And then there is of course the problem of which images to include. As a native of Hamburg myself, I think the current selection is quite appropriate. intforce (talk) 16:17, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    The selection of images or their content is not the point of issue here. Again, it is my personal opinion [POV] that the collage is too long. However, I'd like to point out that WP:Stable version has it flaws, for instance when it is the wrong version being supported. As a resident of Hamburg, if you believe that the collage is objective enough then I'll pass. Oliszydlowski (talk) 16:28, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    Split of economy[edit]

    I just removed the proposed split of economy as the length doesn't seem to justify it at this time and there has been no consensus to split. Gusfriend (talk) 09:02, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    The origin of the Hamma term remains uncertain[edit]

    In Swedish "Hamn" means port (a town or city with a harbour or access to navigable water where ships load or unload). Can Hammburg be a mixture of "Hamn" and "burg"?MikeEcho (talk) 09:33, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
