Westland vs. Festland

Hello, Library_Guy. IMHO the correction was correct. Both, English and French version see it as Western country/l’Ouest. BTW, could you give me the link to the Swedish original please. Thank you. --Maasikaru (Diskussion) 02:01, 21. Jan. 2021 (CET)

My impression was that both the "continent" and the "West" were under discussion at this point. I ran into "Festland" again and was going to make the same correction, but thought I'd better look "Festland" up in wiktionary, and decided a reference to the continent made sense in the current page I was working on. When I checked the French it mentioned both the west and continental. I will look into the Swedish on this one, and give you a citation. Thanks for your interest. Library Guy (Diskussion) 17:44, 21.

I looked at the French and English as I must have done originally, and you are correct. It is only in the usage on p. 360 it makes sense. I have reinstalled the correction, but the best style is to cite the Swedish and I will do that shortly. I didn't even think Festland was a German word, but actually it's just Westland that isn't in Wiktionary. Library Guy (Diskussion) 18:18, 21. Jan. 2021 (CET)
