Talk:Sandnes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
How can somebody claim that Sandnes is a city???? It has no cathedral, only a small population, it's not an old place and no university = town! Fredrik from Sandnes, 20.08.2005, 18:47
By that definition, neither would Bergen (no cathedral that I can remember). Anyway, I think it is a matter of population, not a matter of what is there. Oh and Sandnes is bigger than Drammen and Skien. [1] --ArneHD 15:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
The town of Sandnes doesn´t have a cathedral. This is true. But its inhabitants are a part of the most exciting and dynamic city region in Norway outside Oslo (the capital). I study architecture and most of my teachers advice us to apply for jobs in the Stavanger and Sandnes metropolitan area.
Right now I live in Bergen, and this city indeed have a cathedral. The cathedral even has a bomb shell in its facade! Greetings and welcome to Sandnes/Stavanger and Bergen, Harald Brynlund
[edit] 3rd paragraph from end
I'd like to suggest that the following sentences be rewritten a bit, to make them closer to the usual English idiom. My version comes after them. Cunningpal 00:09, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
The town also holds a vibrant industry mainly in the Ganddal area in the south and the Lura and Forus area in the north towards the Stavanger boundary. It is a significant activity towards the oil exploration in the North Sea and also a large cluster of IT related companies.
