Estonia

Hi, thanks for your wikipedia contributions. I reverted your edit on the nordic countries because the estonian topic is very different from latvia and lithuania. Estonians are finnic people not baltic, and the estonian government is defining the country as a nordic country. There is content on this on the talk page and on the Nordic Estonia page. On the Wiki article, it is not claimed that estonia is officially a nordic country - it is just mentioning the integration activities which are very relevant to this article. The estonian government says that the country is nordic and estonia also shares common history with the other nordic countries. Currently there is a public debate in estonia over using the cross flag. A most exact way would be to define estonia as a Finnic country but there is no page for this on wikipedia JonSonberg (talk) 15:14, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring notice

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Nordic countries. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Jim1138 (talk) 22:33, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

estonia IS NOT a Nordic country! Why is there the confusing map? Estonia is Baltic country. There is ONE estonia who is obsessed od E. being in Nordic. This is ridiculou. Article consist of biased statements and irrelevant facts!

Report notice

Hi, thank you for your contributions. You are currently engaged in an edit war. Wikipedia is not about personal opinions. Please stop the deletion of old, sourced content or I will have to report you. JonSonberg (talk) 22:52, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good evening.

Wikipedia is not about personal opinions. your opinion of your e.being nordic is your personal opinion.My section will be sourced, I will add them soon.

The section is not claiming that estonia is officially nordic. It is not "my opinion", I'm protecting sourced, official, referenced content. The section is referencing (sourcing) how estonia is defining itself as a nordic country. This is correct and belongs to the "nordic countries" article. The entire "nordic countries" page does not list estonia anywhere else. This is already a good balance.

PS: what is the "official" definition of a nordic country? If you look into it, you will see that there is no one specific definition. The most common would be: Light skinned, blonde people from highly developed rich northern european countries that speak germanic or finnic (or sami) languages. Nordic countries have a higly-developed civil society and high levels of innovation. Estonia also matches that description. JonSonberg (talk) 23:06, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PPS: the estonian people have always (thousands of years?) said that they are nordic. The word is "põhjamaalased" . The same word is used by the finns, "pohjoismaalaiset". This is nothing new. It has been called "baltic" because it was occupied by soviet union together with LV and LT. My personal opinion is that Estonia is the only nordic country that was occupied by the soviet union, but I am not writing that in Wikipedia because there is no source to this claim. JonSonberg (talk) 23:13, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such "definition". Finland is nordic as it has now 2 languages. In 19th century it had 1 language only: that was Swedish. You are trying to make some good business using Nordic i.e Scandinavian i.e North Germanic brand. Be proud of your Uralic tongue. Do no try to steal anything from the others. Skilsmissebørn

Edit warring notice

Your recent editing history at Nordic countries shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Recent edit to Baltic states

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Baltic states, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!
