Please do not create, maintain or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia — and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. So far as I can tell, your draft was a hoax. You had no sources that mentioned the so-called House of Kohtala and I could find none. Doug Weller talk 16:22, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your claims about the House of Kohtala

Anyone can say they are claimants to a throne. There was never a proper Finnish monarchy. "One of the first issues to be decided was the basic form of the constitution. Was Finland to be a republic or a monarchy? Although in 1917 Svinhufvud had originally favoured a republic, in the changing circumstances of May 1918 and still expecting a German victory in the Great War, he supported the idea of a monarchy headed by Prince Friedrich Karl of Hesse. Paasikivi threw his weight behind Svinhufvud. A coalition of former Old Finns and Young Finns, together with most of the Swedes, were able to muster 58 votes in favour, whilst the opposition, led by the Agrarians, could only attract 44 votes against the proposal. Before any practical steps could be taken to introduce a monarchy, Germany had been defeated and the Prince of Hesse made it known that he could not accept the proffered crown."[1] A Short History of Finland By Fred Singleton, Anthony F. Upton, Cambridge University Press.

You offered no sources at all for the House of Kohtala, only a copy of one of our articles. You must have sources meeting WP:RS that discuss this house and its claims. See WP:NOTABILITY and WP:PEOPLE. Please keep the discussion here. You can notify me by typing {{ping|Doug Weller}} but note that only works when in a new, signed post. If you make a mistake you have to start again. Doug Weller talk 08:12, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding pretenders

You had two sources. One is [2], a website supposedly about the Kingdom of Finland but really a fake site - is it yours? Virtally all links are empty, and the front page is gibberish, starting with the placeholder text Lorem ipsum. You also keep linking to Helsingin Sanomat but when you click on it you get to their search engine, not an actual page. A search for Kothala comes up empty.
