Turku was the capital of Finland during the early part of its autonomy. After the mandatory Great Fire, Helsinki gained the status. Finland was not fully independent at the time, so would that count? - Kizor, 27.12.2003
- I had thought about adding it and didn't. As the "country, empire" definition of this table is a bit more flexible than the one of List of national capitals, I suppose you could include it, but should probably avoid to list just "Finland" as entity. Hopefully our history specialists will correct us, in case we get (or already did get) carried away. -- User:Docu
I went to add the movement of the capital of Thailand from Ayutthaya to Bangkok to this list but noticed it is already there, commented out. Can anyone allude me to why? -- OwlofDoom 17:36, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I wasn't quite sure if or how (Thailand, Siam or Ayutthaya kingdom) to add it, but this shouldn't prevent you from adding it. -- User:Docu
- Sorry, I meant it has already been added, but there are comment markers around it to stop it appearing. I was guessing someone intentionally removed it for some reason. I would prefer to know this reason before adding it back in. -- OwlofDoom 07:04, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Some corner cases: Zanzibar was independent for a brief time in 1963 before becoming part of Tanzania. Also Tanzania has partially moved their capital from Dar es Salaam to Dodoma, so maybe Dar es Salaam should be on the list? - Zdv 09:12, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
