Since 2022 Denmark also shares a small 1.2 km land border with Canada, along a natural ravine on Hans Island in the Nares Strait. Kim Depler (talk) 12:52, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please detail the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. This article is about metropolitan Denmark only. The border with Canada is mentioned at Danish Realm. Day Creature (talk) 17:53, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fukuyama quote

Is Fukuyama's quote about "getting to Denmark" due for the lead? I would understand including it within the article body, but I feel like it's a bit WP:UNDUE and too detailed to include a relatively old phrase from one political scientist in the lead, which is supposed to summarize the contents of the article body. The Account 2 (talk) 16:25, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point and agree. It would be interesting to move it to the article body though. Straight out removal feels like a loss of relevant information. Wilk10 (talk) 16:47, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it contains interesting info which can be preserved, so I moved it into the article body. The Account 2 (talk) 16:50, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Greenland

If the map of France displays French Guiana in green color as a part of France, why isn't Greenland displayed the same way as a part of Denmark? Gigman (talk) 22:22, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Because this page is about only a part of the Kingdom of Denmark. The latter does show Greenland shaded in green. GoodDay (talk) 22:30, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

PS - TBH, at times I get confused with this article & the (aka Danish Realm) kingdom article GoodDay (talk) 22:34, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
