File:Amstel.jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Amstel.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on August 10, 2011.

If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng {chat} 18:23, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The river Amstel, flowing through the centre of Amsterdam. Visible are some of the city's most important landmarks located adjacent to the river in this panorama, such as the Magere Brug (crossing the river), the Koninklijk Theater Carré, Amstel Hotel and Rembrandt Tower.Photo: Massimo Catarinella

Historic Course Through Amsterdam

Would anyone with the ability be willing to make a map of the old course of the Amstel, but show the old course over a modern map of the city? I've always been very interested in the exact course of the old river after Muntplein. --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:14, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Amsterdam < Amstelerdam, not Amsteldam

Amsterdam derives from Amstelredam/Amstelerdam and definitely not Amsteldam. '-er' is an old genitive also evident as '-r' in Rotterdam, i.e. Dam on the Rotte (name of a river). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wjvanb (talk • contribs) 11:04, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Image of Amestelle

I've included an image of the name "Giselberto de Amestelle" on a detail from a 12th-century document, because this is the earliest use of the name "Amestelle" which evolved into the name Amstel. – Pungitius (talk) 23:35, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
