Meänkieli
[edit]The status of Meänkieli is disputed, so please do not remove the other side, some people see it as a language while others as a dialect, thus both sides should be in the description of the wikipedia page. --ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 08:13, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
West Karelia
[edit]What's the problem with the term West Karelia? --Vilutar (talk) 18:26, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- Also if the source cited says that Karelians were split into 3 in 1323, you can't changhe it to 2 while still using the same source. Same thing with the last paragraph, you can't change the sentence into something that's not in the cited source. --Vilutar (talk) 18:33, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'm sorry for that, but I was only trying to make the article easier to understand. You can change it back to West Karelia if you think it suits better. You can also reword the part about Nöteborg and Savonians. You're right that I should have asked first before editing the last paragraph, but I found it to be very controversial to say the least, and I couldn't really see any point why it should be mentioned here. To be honest, I wasn't even aware of this. Regarding your reverts, please don't revert everything. Skäggdopping (talk) 19:04, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- I didn't revert everything, I tried to find balance. See the article now if it seems fine to you or if there's parts you think should be changed, we can discuss it. And I kept some of the ways you phrased it, it's just that it can't go against the cited source in the end... The last paragraph is what it is because I thought of adding more to it later, I understand it looks a bit weird on its own. I hope I'll have the time to add more to it from the cited book soon. --Vilutar (talk) 19:31, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for being civil and reminding me that it would always be the best to take a look at the sources before editing anything. I clicked on the link about Nöteborg and can now clearly see that some of my edits were indeed incorrect. It's also good to know that you agree that the last paragraph is a bit controversial and that it's in need of some minor improvements. I must, however, admit that I don't really understand why the coat of arms should be in 100px, or that it would be controversial to mention what the dialects are called in Finnish. Skäggdopping (talk) 20:06, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- Of course I don't wish any bad blood. I added more to the last paragraph, let me know if it makes more sense now. The cited book brings up the Jewish thing like three times separately, the author really is emphasising that. It's definitely an interesting take but seems to have been made by other people who have studied "heimos" in the past like Ilkka Malmberg. The 100px I guess it's just my personal preference since the coat of arms are so tall. But it's really nothing serious so. If you insist it should be bigger I'm willing to back down. Why it was originally in 100px is because I took the template from Bavarians article and the flag on there is scaled to 100px. As for the dialect name in Finnish it's not really controversial but maybe not necessary? The Finnish name should be added on the South Karelian dialects page though in my opinion. --Vilutar (talk) 21:14, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- All good then, and the article does indeed look better now. Skäggdopping (talk) 12:57, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
