[edit]Why did you remove the joke at Tytti Isohookana-Asunmaa? It's not very often we see a politician named after two rappers. JIP | Talk 17:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Removal of map
[edit]Hi, why did you remove the map Image:Football world popularity.png from the football (soccer) page? What is untrue about it? The sources used for it are noted on the image page. – Elisson • T • C • 16:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Savonian people
[edit]Hey, you applied the article to be featured on the main page as "did you know..". The article is a stub right now, so it can't be featured as dyk. But please expand it, it should be easy since the Finnish article is quite comprehensive. For example, few of my articles that have been on main page include Aimo Lahti, Aero Flight 311. They don't have to be that long but they should have references. --Pudeo⺮ 20:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Savonlinnan Pallokerhon logo.svg.png
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Savonlinnan Pallokerhon logo.svg.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Wikimania 2010 could be coming to Stockholm!
[edit]I'm leaving you a note as you may be interested in this opportunity.
People from all six Nordic Wiki-communities (sv, no, nn, fi, da and is) are coordinating a bid for Wikimania 2010 in Stockholm. I'm sending you a message to let you know that this is occurring, and over the next few months we're looking for community support to make sure this happens! See the bid page on meta and if you like such an idea, please sign the "supporters" list at the bottom. Tack (or takk), and have a wonderful day! Mike H. Fierce! 10:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Sami Hyypiä, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.
Finland and the 1908 Olympics
[edit]Hi there. Just to let you know, the reason there are Russian flags next to the Finnish wrestlers at Wrestling at the 1908 Summer Olympics is that Finland was part of Russia at the time. See Grand Duchy of Finland. The Olympic organizers, under pressure from Russia, required the Finnish athletes to compete under the Russian flag even while fielding a separate team. Hope this helps. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 03:53, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Team Finland (M-1 Challenge)
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/74/Ambox_warning_yellow.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_yellow.svg.png)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Team Finland (M-1 Challenge), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Useless is not continiously updated
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --aktsu (t / c) 04:50, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
Lauri Dalla Valle
[edit]Do you have a source for Dalla Valle refusing to play for Finand under-21s? GiantSnowman 17:55, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yes. I put now the Finnish language news article refenrence in the Dalla Valle page. --SM (talk) 18:04, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Finnish league isn't professional
[edit]Where's your proof that it is? Both Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues and Veikkausliiga say it isn't fully professional. Removing the PRODs without a valid reason isn't enough. Spiderone 07:24, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Your removal of the PROD here shows a complete lack of understanding of WP:ATHLETE. Yes, Serie A is professional but he hasn't played in the Serie A, he is just a youth player and there is absolutely no guarantee that he will play in future. Also under 17 caps are worthless in fact even under 21 caps don't justify notability. If someone was capped at youth level for American Samoa, for example, they would still fail WP:ATH. Spiderone 07:30, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
- Bregasi has a professional contract with Sampdoria, so he is a pro player in one of the top leagues of Europe. --SM (talk) 09:36, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
- That is irrelevant, I'm afraid. Unless he has a claim to fame like Gael Kakuta, he fails notability. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mattia Destro Spiderone 09:38, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Doesn't matter if the player is professional
[edit]See WP:ATHLETE. The club or the league must be professional and in the case of Finland neither is professional so your keep votes are invalid unless you can prove either that Finland is professional or that they have played in the main stages of the Champions League or UEFA Cup/Europa League. Don't vote keep unless you know the rules of WP:ATHLETE. Spiderone 13:43, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
- Finland's league is still professional. I don't need to prove that in every article or comment. Playing in UCL or UEFA Cup has nothing to do with this, and yes, Finnish clubs have played in European competitions. You should stop giving false information. --SM (talk) 13:48, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
- Finland's league isn't professional until someone links us to a website that isn't Wikipedia that tells us that everyone is on a full-time contract. Spiderone 13:56, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
- Of course everyone is. You can't play without contract. --SM (talk) 13:58, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
- You can be on a part-time contract or an amateur contract too which means that the league isn't professional. Spiderone 14:08, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
- Again one more claim without any source. Of course it is not forbidden to play as an amateur but it does not make the league non-professional. Or are you telling that Spanish Primera division is a non-professional because Etxeberria is playing for free? --SM (talk) 14:19, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
- The source you provided clearly said that people have to work and do degrees around their football careers because it isn't enough to make a living out of. Simply put, the league isn't fully professional. Spiderone 14:27, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
- It means more they have to plan their lifes future - playing in Finnish league does not make majority of players so rich that they don't have to do anything after the end of their playing career, which does not mean that the league is not professional! In 2001 questionary research within league players only 8 percent told they had had other jobs than football. [1] Now, almost 10 years later the league have advanced still.--SM (talk) 15:38, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Finland Fully pro league
[edit]Hi, I noticed you recently added a source that Finland is fully pro. As the page is in Finnish could you add some English text after the source to show the exact location i.e. as done for the Austria and Belarus entries above it. Thanks Eldumpo (talk) 13:32, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is The Monastic Protestant Community in Enonkoski. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Monastic Protestant Community in Enonkoski. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:19, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Mervi Tapola requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Your Split of Sápmi_(area)
[edit]You moved parts of the Sápmi_(area) article into Lapland (region). By doing that I believe you created a parallel article. Please ,see the discussion in Talk:Sápmi_(area)#Requested_move about why the current name was chosen. Also, I don't see a good reason for why the geography should be in a separate article. Regards, Labongo (talk) 07:57, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
- Lapland is a geographic area and the English name for that area is Lapland. I don't see the reason for "Sapmi" area, I have never seen articles about that kind of "cultural areas" in en-Wikipedia. Much of the Sami people don't live in Lapland and they are only a small minority in Lapland. Couldn't that "Sami cultural region" information be included in the article of Sapmi people? --SM (talk) 09:54, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
- There are already articles for Finnish Lapland, Swedish Lapland, etc (see Lapland for a list). Merging Sápmi_(area) and Sámi people is not practical as the latter is already too long. For a detailed discussion about these topics refer to the talk page discussion I linked above. Labongo (talk) 20:03, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, Wikipedia has separate articles of each country of Europe, but there still is article Europe. Like I said I don't see it reasonable to have an article of that kind of "cultural region", but however if there is, it doesn't mean Wikipedia should not have article of a region Lapland. For example there is entry of Lapland in Encyclopaedia Britannica, and Sápmi is only a Sami language word meaning Lapland. --SM (talk) 23:01, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
- I am not sure if I understand you. If you think that Sapmi and Lapland are the same, then "Sapmi (area)" and "Lapland (region)" are parallel articles (and should hence be avoided in Wikipedia). With regards to the name, there has already been a discussion about what the name of the article should be (as linked above). In summary the problem with the Lapland term is that it is confusing and not widely used in Norway and Russia. For example the counties Nordland and Nord-Troendelag in Norway has never been consider as part of Lapland. If you think articles about cultural regions should be deleted there are places where you can propose these for deletion. In conclusion, I will revert the removal of the geography information in Sápmi (area) and encourage you to delete the parallel Lapland (region) article. Labongo (talk) 23:51, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
- No, please do not put words in my mouth. They are not parallel articles as long as the other is of "cultural region" and the article Lapland is a normal encyclopaedia entry of a region. In my opinion the best solution is to merge parts of the "Sapmi (area)" to Lapland and Sami people. Sami people and "Sapmi (area)" are highly parallell. --SM (talk) 11:54, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- You are suggesting major changes to the article and should therefore start a thread on the articles talkpage. Note that "Sami People" is the parent article to the Sapmi article and hence it should contain a summary of the content in the Sapmi article. I still fail to understand the difference between an area and a region in this context. Labongo (talk) 22:58, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- Lapland is an area in Northern Europe like and the Sami people are only a small minority there, so it deserves an article from the neutral point of view, not only as an "daughter article" of the Sami people article. I am not suggesting any chances to the article "Sápmi_(area)", because I still seem to fail to understand what its purpose is. --SM (talk) 04:19, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- The purpose of the Sapmi article is to describe "the cultural region traditionally inhabited by the Sámi people". I still don't understand the difference between Sapmi (area) and Lapland (region). Perhaps you can list which parts of the Lapland region are, or are not, part of Sapmi as defined by the article? The Sapmi article describes Lapland as "inner parts of Sápmi". Do you think this is correct? Labongo (talk) 06:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- The more reasonable way is to put it this way: why Wikipedia needs an separate article of "the cultural region traditionally inhabited by the Sámi people" if it is almost just the same as Lapland? Like I said before the issues especially related to the Sami population are already or could be included to the article Sami people. Now the article Sapmi (area) seems to be just article of Lapland with a Sami point of view and on a name that is uncommon (and so against the Wikipedia:Naming conventions). --SM (talk) 13:59, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- And yes I saw the discussion Talk:Sápmi_(area)#Requested_move and i see the current name was chosen because you moved the article to that name. I don't think you are serious if you say Wikipedia should not have a neutral-point-of-view article of Lapland. --SM (talk) 12:03, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- I don't remember if I did the move, but we were a couple of editors that discussed this and ended up in an consensus that the Sapmi name was better than Lapland. Labongo (talk) 22:58, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- I read the article Sampi (area) and i saw multiple issues there. I tagged the page with "article issues" template.--SM (talk) 04:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- I believe you need to be more specific and describe the issues you have in the talkpage. Labongo (talk) 06:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- Now I have described more specifically the issues. I suggest that we continue this conversation in that talkpage. --SM (talk) 14:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- Agree. I also added a link to this thread there. Labongo (talk) 06:43, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Natallia Tryfanava
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Natallia Tryfanava requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Ari Peltonen
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/74/Ambox_warning_yellow.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_yellow.svg.png)
The article Ari Peltonen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Not notable, with no indication of notability. The one link is to what looks like a first party site and a dead link. Entirely unsourced with a lot of dubious looking content.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 21:23, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
