Article edits
edit- 02-Sep-2007: The article "Amager" was created almost 5 years ago, on 2-Jan-2003, as text only. After 2.7 years of rare edits, a picture was added each year around August: in 2005 the Hotel photo, in 2006 the Satellite view, and in 2007 the Denmark-islands map. -Wikid77 12:51, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Christianshavn is not on Amager, Christianshavn is an island of its own, just like Holmen; they both are positioned between Zealand and Amager and connected to them by bridges. I have removed Christianshavn from the description. 88.212.92.13 23:20, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Need map
editAs one who doesn't live in Copenhagen (much less in Amager), I'd very much like a map as well (or over) as a picture of some random building in Amager. 130.225.54.2 02:55, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
- 02-Sep-2007: (15 months later) Readable maps have been a challenge for Wikipedia, but I have added a map for Amager, after a year of preparing maps for hundreds of Wikipedia articles. Most map images found on the Internet look too "small and blurry" for Wikipedia use, due to the typical 600-pixel width of the article screen region (with images resized/narrowed below 300px width), and very few readable maps then being free to copy. Due to the tedious work needed in map-making (cartography), Wikipedia maps, typically, have been unusual blurry, blank maps that could be reused dozens of times to "map" many towns/locations against a blank outline of a region. The unfortunate de-facto "standard" had become the red-dot-on-a-diagram map, which was an easy scrawling of a diagram of a region, that did not take the time to draw accurate borders, shorelines or lakes.

Added map
edit02-Sep-2007: I have added a map of the Denmark islands around Amager (see map at right). Maps are typically for outsiders and can be seen as a nuisance for local people, who are the most likely people to add details about the internal aspects of a town or island. For that reason, I have added a small map (of width 280px), on the verge of being unreadable, so as not to obstruct the focus of local people, but also provide a "click to enlarge" map for outsiders. Beware that other people actively delete such maps for a variety of reasons, including that they are not PNG format (so better to delete them than have GIF images as maps?!). -Wikid77 11:59, 2 Sep 2007 (UTC)
Oresund bridge
editIt would be helpful to know how far the Amager end of the Oresund Tunnel is from Copenhagen, and how the bridge/tunnel have been integrated with the transport infrastrucure on Amager. Alfrew (talk) 22:29, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
