There are many problems and factual inaccuracies with this page. For example it claims Mannerheim would have been state regent in June 1918 - which is factual incorrect - he become state regent only late in 1918. In fact he wasn't even in Finland at the claimed time. In exactly similar manner Mannerheim could never have requested German aid - the Senate however did. Mannerheim was subject to the Senate, not the other way around. - Wanderer602 (talk) 14:36, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What other "glaring" inaccuracies are there?
You are right that he was commander-in-chief, not regent, in March 1918. I think you are wrong about where he was. Why do you think he wasn't in Finland in March 1918? The article never said that the Senate was subject to Mannerheim. Srnec (talk) 15:28, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Largely those related to Mannerheim and his relation with the Senate. And the wording in the places related to Mannerheim very heavily implied that Mannerheim ruled and the Senate was secondary - for example " Mannheim requested and received German assistance", "Mannerheim supported by the Senate". Mannerheim didn't have such powers even if he is in certain sources blamed for certain consequences of the decisions made by the Senate. - Wanderer602 (talk) 18:35, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Mannerheim offered his resignation during the spring and it was finally accepted by the government on 31th of May 1918 (from the post the commander in chief) - he left abroad on the following day (1st of June). And perhaps the key reason for that was the arrival of the German troops which Mannerheim had strongly opposed. He was still in absentia when he was chosen as the regent. - Wanderer602 (talk) 18:45, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
