[edit] Notes

I'm not sure what Storebaelt is called in English. Great Belt sounds much more reasonable than Big Belt and Google yields more (and more plausible) results. I'll change it for now but it would be nice if some would look it up in a map or atlas. Thanks, Kosebamse 13:13 May 13, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Demographics

The demographics section says that 15 million people live within 10 km of the coast, but then goes on to say that 90% of the 22 million people living in cities > 250,000 live within 10 km of the coast, which would give 19.8 million people in that area. Anyone know which number is more accurate? Sort of pedantic, but it looks pretty silly for the article to apparently contradict itself within a couple lines.

[edit] Names in other languages

Hi. What is the WP policy on listing place nams in other languages? I understand it makes sense to include the names in the languages of the neighbouring countries/ civilizations for obvious historical reasons. However, this article lists an immensely long list of names in languages that are of no bearing on the Baltic Sea. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 22:44, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Baltic sea has the most percentage of people with light eyes and light hair

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hair-color-map_by_Peter_Frost.PNG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Westernparadigm_blue_eye_color_map.jpg

can we not add it to the article?--Asdfg1244 (talk) 16:14, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

It doesn't seem particularly important, or directly related to the sea - the people don't actually live in the water do they? Bazonka (talk) 18:09, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
