Photos in main image

I'm questioning the relevance of including a photo of an unfinished building (Karlatornet) in the main image of the article. While I do think Karlatornet is worthy of being mentioned as a city symbol, I think we should wait until there are available photos of the building when its completed. On a sidenote, do we really need to include the Gothenburg Tram Network as a symbol of the city? And if we have to, are there not any better images available than the current one?

Myself, i would disagree with removing the Karlatornet; it's not as if it's just a picture of scaffolding, the thing is fairly close to completion and, correct me if i'm wrong, isn't it (now or going to be) the tallest building in Scandinavia? I don't really know why, but lots of places feel that such a distinction makes them "better" and thus symbolic of the place. As for the trams, yeah, i agree: There's an image of a tram further down in the article and surely one is enough; it's certainly not a particular feature of Gothenburg, as so many other places have tram networks.

Inconsistency in pronunciation guide

Pronunciation insists upon a θ but the actual audio file does not pronounce it that way (or if the t is aspirated in any capacity in that file, it's extraordinarily faint). In my experience, both pronunciations are common (in fact, lacking aspiration is a closer alignment with the swedish pronunciation), so I feel like there are two ways to correct this inconsistency: 1, re-record the audio file; or 2, find a source for GOT-en-burg in english (if that can be sourced for accuracy and isn't just a common mispronunciation) and amend the pronunciation to align with the audio file. I don't have the capacity to do either of these atm, so I figured opening a dialogue would be the next best thing. 180.43.84.230 (talk) 13:40, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
