Full independence

Is there a reason why every instance of "independence" was changed to "full independence"?[1] I keep seeing this being changed in other articles, including referring to the Grand Duchy of Finland as "an autonomous state ruled by the Russian Empire". Personally I do not see the point of changing this to "full independence". Mellk (talk) 12:08, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got Karjalan sissit?

This has been tagged as not notable and lacking references, but oddly it is not marked as being related to this project. Please fix this issue. Bearian (talk) 05:33, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added it to WikiProject Finland. Somebody who has experience with WP:NMUSIC might want to take a look whether it should be AfD'd. Btw, this is not the project talk page. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 06:15, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-== Stone Age bear head gavel? ==
-Any sources supporting this description? Yes it's Stone Age, yes it has a bear's head - but surely that's something not used as a gavel? [[User:Little grape|Little grape]] ([[User talk:Little grape|talk]]) 10:22, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
-:Using Google translate on the second source in the caption gives me "animal head weapon; bear head mallet". I don't know how accurate that translation is, maybe a Finnish speaker can translate "eläinpääase; karhunpäänuija" into English? [[User:TylerBurden|TylerBurden]] ([[User talk:TylerBurden|talk]]) 13:53, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
-:: Translation happens to be as good as it can be. ''Nuija'' is a common name for blunt tools and weapons like bludgeon, gavel or mallet. It can't be exactly known what the intended use of the unfinished stone head  was (it's found as a lone piece). Like other animal shaped stone heads it's classified to weapons, "nuijas" and religious items. Here's a photo taken above: [https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiedosto:Paltamon_karhunp%C3%A4%C3%A4.jpg]. The National Library of Finland source you translated from uses also "axe" in the text description ("physical description: Bear head axe"). Your pick, English speakers. --[[User:J. Sketter|J.

-:It doesn't have to, but it would make little sense to keep the EU and remove NATO. It seems like a brief list of significant events, Finland making its decision to join NATO was significant. [[User:TylerBurden|TylerBurden]] ([[User talk:TylerBurden|talk]]) 15:00, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
+Please change this: According to the 2012 constitution, the president (currently Sauli Niinistö) leads foreign policy in cooperation with the government…
-::In my opinion , both of them can be removed as they don't have any impact on the sovereignty of Finland but EU is still more relevant since NATO is a military alliance while the EU is a political union. I think NATO and EU should both be removed from the infobox if there is consensus for it [[User:Smahwk|Smahwk]] ([[User talk:Smahwk|talk]]) 14:32, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
-:::I think that the mention of the EU should stay there and NATO removed. My reasoning is that in the constitution it says that Finland is a member of the European Union. The constitution does not mention the membership in NATO. [[User:Yökyöpeli|Yökyöpeli]] ([[User talk:Yökyöpeli|talk]]) 21:20, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
-::::The most recent version of it I can find is from 1999, since Finland joined the EU in 1995 it makes sense why it is mentioned there and NATO is not, so I don't think that on its own necessarily makes one more important than the other.

-== “long protocol name” ==
+== Got [[Karjalan sissit]]? ==
-Note 2 in the article mentions that only legislation recognizes the short name, which I'm guessing is just “FI: Suomi|SV: Finland” (EN: Finland). So, where does the name “Republic of Finland” even come from if legally it's just Finland?!

-:As you say, it's the "long protocol name", kind of conventional expression used, e.g., in international treaties. Such treaties have their own terminology, like saying that the signatories are "high contracting parties". It's simply wrong to say that "Republic of Finland" is the official name. The only official names are ''Suomi'' and ''Finland''. You can read the Constitution of Finland [https://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/kaannokset/1999/en19990731.pdf here]. However, there is a long-standing tradition of calling such descriptive names the "official names" and in some countries they may be the official ones. --[[User:Surfo|Surfo]] ([[User talk:Surfo|talk]]) 08:26, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
