The alleged Finnish name is indeed not even unofficial but constructed by nationalist Fennomans. Therefore, I remove the information as redundant. Icarus1978 21:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

See also Lemland's website and map from Maanmittauslaitos for confirmation that the name in Finnish is indeed Lemland. Do notice that Mariehamn in that image has two names: Mariehamn, and Maarianhamina, the latter being the name in Finnish, so this is not a map with only Swedish names.-- NordicStorm (t/c) 10:39, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You have no reasons to delete Lemlanti -name --83.102.5.106 13:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You mean, besides the reason mentioned above? -- NordicStorm (t/c) 15:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I cant see any reason why to remove finnish name, have you? I have see many articles about inner-Finland where has placed swedish name so why not finnish name in majority swedish article? Swedish and Finnish is both as worth as languages. --Jommala 21:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

The reasons are detailed above. The Finnish name is ~~"Kökar"~~ "Lemland", and that's what in the article. For you to suggest that it has something to with "worth as languages" is, quite frankly, insulting.-- NordicStorm, modified on 21:48, 18 July 2007 (UTC) (t/c) 21:41, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Let see example Rääkkylä...there is swedish name Bräkylä, but cannot find it neither offial municipality page nor Maanmittauslaitos. Still there is not even mention about swedish name isnt official. --Jommala 21:28, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deal with it on Rääkkylä's talk page.-- NordicStorm (t/c) 21:41, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Besides, "Lemland" is referred to as "Lemland" in Swedish as well as in Finnish. And "Lemland" is in the article. Can't comment on the siutation with Rääkkylä.-- NordicStorm (t/c) 21:47, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nowadays officially but there is still use about finnish name like in speak languages and unofficially purposes. --Jommala 07:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you're trying to say? But the Finnish name for "Lemland" is "Lemland". And that's in the article.-- NordicStorm (t/c) 10:06, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But also Lemlanti..-land Finnish form is -lanti. Same as Uppland -> Uplanti, Värmland -> Värmlanti ext... --Jommala 11:46, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
