Renamed[edit]

I plan to rename this page as Göta Canal. Although I don't speak Swedish, kanal apparently means canal (or channel, but in this case it's "canal"), so the English Wikipedia name should be Göta Canal. As with all Wikipedia moves, there would be a Wikipedia:redirect left at Göta kanal. Any objections? Art LaPella 22:29, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

No objections here. I'd also support moving "Göta älv" to "Göta River", if you think it plausible. Fred-Chess 06:35, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Length[edit]

How long is the Göta Canal?

347 U.S. miles(614km)

Route?[edit]

Really nice rewritten article. Although I could take a pretty good guess, the map purporting to show the route of the canal, does not actually show a route. Some different color marking of the canal, or some other explicit marking, is needed to show the route. doncram (talk) 00:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trollhätte Canal[edit]

The article claims that Trollhätte Canal is now a part of Göta Canal but where are the sources for that? According to both the official tourist page for Göta Canal and the The Swedish Maritime Administration website the Göta Canal runs from Mem to Sjötorp. 31.209.29.187 (talk) 06:55, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
