In 2006 Groningen was elected "de beste binnenstad" (the best town center) of the Netherlands.
By whom ? The dutch does not mention this. --84.143.97.225 12:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I have added a source for this information (in Dutch, by lack of an English one). I've also corrected the year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Woutgg (talk • contribs) 10:37, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a section for sister cities. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the city only seems to be twinned with Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. (See http://www.lgib.gov.uk/international/Establishing_a_partnership/twinning_search.html). I find this suprising as Newcastle is twinned with nine cities worldwide inclding Bergen, Nancy and Atlanta. I know Newcastle is one of the UK's major cities, but I would have thought that Groningen would still have more. If anyone can find anymore then please add them. When I have time (and if I can find the information) I'll add a little bit about Groningen's relationship with Newcastle. hedpeguyuk, 3 July 2005 20:40 (UTC)
I suggest we remove this picture.
I live in this city and neither me nor my friends have ever heard of this dividation.
The city is divided into app. 10 smaller boroughs (wijken)
If no response in 2 weeks I will create and upload a new picture.
These are official, though largely bureaucratical, subdivisions of the city. I agree with you that there are more sensible divisions into boroughs and neighbourhoods. If you manage to create a better map, that would be nice. However, we should leave the current picture here until we have something better, I guess.

I thought that one sugar factory is bought by the other?
This has to be checked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.192.37.47 (talk) 10:55, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The Dutch Wiki [[1]] states that the CSM plant in Hoogkerk was transferred to the Suikerunie in the past. I however could not find any English articles concerning this subject, in or outside of Wikipedia to cite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lesire (talk • contribs) 20:56, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Dutch sources can be used after somebody translates the relevant sentences into English. Of course, English sources of equal quality are preferable. Andries (talk) 08:28, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It seems interesting to me that the name "Groningen," which was apparently derived from "Groene Ingen" or "Green (Water) Meadows," is linked to the English dialect word "ing" (water meadow.) Perhaps there should be a section on etymology? SergioGeorgini (talk) 22:06, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'd think it was the other way around. The village was called "Groene Ingen" long before English was developed meaning the "ing" would come from the Germanic root of English. Either way, it would be WP:OR on our part to include that in the Groningen article. I've been to the Groninger Museum and was interested in the exhibits about the city itself. However, I can't remember of they had an exhibit about the name of the city. --Marc Kupper|talk 07:56, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- The province takes its name from the city, and the province is already at Groningen (province). A dab-hatnote will of course be needed. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:26, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The province got 3,107 page views in the last 30 days, city got 11,648. Kauffner (talk) 08:24, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I`ve substantially updated and revised the section on notable people. I`ve found a goodly number in Wikipedia and there are more (with shorter entries) that I've not included. In particular I`ve now listed them (and their photos) in birth date order. This provides something of an historical perspective. But it conflicts with a request found to respect the (original) alphabetical ordering. I trust readers find the revised format more informative and attractive.

Hello, I would like to see the history expanded. Currently, it jumps from 1672, when the city was attacked by the bishop of Münster, to the end of World War II. What happened in the middle. --Goldenrowley (talk) 01:06, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am not a Wikipedia editor so I don't feel comfortable editing this page myself. But I'd like to stipulate the dubious references and text concerning the early history. The references were inserted by user The Most Comfortable Chair in the period 15-16 august 2020. They are currently numbered ref 22 and 23. The citation 22 (Houses of the Dead, 2020) does not contain a page 270. The citation 23 (Balkema) refers to a volume and page that does not go into the (pre)history of the city area of Groningen.
level-5 vital article is rated C-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
