@admin @hjorring @hirtshals @skagen

Lovely to see!

Though there is a spelling mistake in ‘Hjøerrng’ – it should be ‘Hjørring’ (the handle @hjorring works just fine).

Some of the other Danish place names are also missing their diacritics. I'd be happy to provide a list, if you'd like 😊

@admin @hjorring @hirtshals @skagen

It's not too many, so here's the list:

Copenhagen – København. The english name is of course very well known, so the handle and the account name can stay as ‘Copenhagen’, but within the Danish text ‘København’ would be more natural.

Sonderborg – Sønderborg
Naestved – Næstved
Norresundby – Nørresundby
Hillerod – Hillerød
Koge – Køge

And I'm confused about @orhus . It might be a doublet of @aarhus (which uses the correct Danish spelling).

@headword@lingo.lol Hi, thank you for the hints! I've fixed the names and they will propagate soon. As for Orhus - I'll have a look at it later today.
