In a recent VfD discussion, your contribution history was challenged. You said that your contributions have been primarily to the Finnish Wikipedia. As you probably know, the VfD discussions are frequently abused by sockpuppets. Your contribution history in the Finnish Wikipedia would be good evidence to prove that your ID is not a fake account. Most users, though, will not know how to do a cross-wiki search for your contribution history. Can I suggest that you edit your reply in the VfD discussion thread and give them a link to your Finnish contributions along with the explanation you already offered? It would be a quick and polite way to nip this dispute in the bud. Thanks. Rossami 18:26, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

John Morton

[edit]

Please stop vandalising John Morton article. It is a trivial fact that he is Finnish. His family tree is known from the Rautalampian ancestors to these days. Tuohirulla 17:03, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Featured article for December 25th

[edit]

I noticed that you have listed yourself as an atheist Wikipedian. You will probably be interested to know that Brian0918 has nominated Omnipotence paradox as the front page article for December 25th. You can vote on this matter here. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is Christmas, although Raul654 has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday.

Participant alert regarding Wikiproject on Advertising

[edit]

The Wikiproject No Ads, created as a backlash against the Answers.com deal, has served an important function in providing a space for users to express their disagreement with the Foundation proposal. While the current controversies about userboxes raise questions about political and social advocacy on Wikipedia, there should be greater flexibility regarding advocacy about Wikipedia in the Wikipedia namespace. Reported and linked by Slashdot and other press sources as a unique and spontaneous occurence in Wikipedia history, it has apparently had some impact as, despite being scheduled to begin in January, not a peep has been heard about the trial and proposed sponsored link since the deal's controversial announcement months ago. Currently, however, there is an attempt to delete the project or move it off Wikipedia altogether. Since the Foundation has provided no additional information and has not attempted to answer the specific questions that participants in the project raised, it is unclear if the Answers.com deal has been abandoned or simply delayed. Until the situation becomes more clear, I believe the group should still have a place in the Wikipedia namespace. Sincerely, Tfine80 00:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm interested in working with you to translate the fi:Suomalainen muinaisusko page into English. My Finnish is poor, but I know enough to help you to smooth out the English translation if you're worried about that. I'd enjoy working with you on this if you want. Thanks!--Stercus.caput 13:19, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are right that the English article needs more text. I will try to make something in English there and I hope you to look it is correct. My english is not good engough to make fluent text, so corrections are almost surely needed. I will make more text bit by bit, not everything at once. Tuohirulla puhu 20:35, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely! If you have any specific problems, just tell me on my Talk page. --Stercus.caput 22:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've edited the first half. I'm very busy lately, so please excuse me if it takes a little while to do the rest. :) It's going pretty well, I think! I'm turning it all into the past-tense (imperfekti), because it really needed to all be in the same tense. Some of the text is a bit too informal, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. --Stercus.caput 02:31, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, don't worry! I'll get through the translation. Your English is better than you think! --Stercus.caput 23:57, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
One thing: "According to the divided concept of väki being divided in two (into power and folk of haltijas) ancient finnish world-wiew was totally animistic so that no forces of nature or people existed without väkis of haltijas." is not especially clear. Could you explain it to me more so that I could form it better? --Stercus.caput 01:16, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In Finnish version it is as unintelligible as in here, so i have to explain. Väki meant both powers and groups of spirit beings. While spirit beings existed in every element or environment (iron, fire, wood, ground, forest, hill, air, graveyard, human, water and so on) also with them powers existed in all the elements. It has been suggested that perhaps ancient finns thought that the powers of elements and environments (like power of fire to burn or power of air to move ship or power of steel to hurt) were actually the same thing as powers of haltijas that lived in those elements and environments. So what makes fire to move, heat and burn is that haltijas of fire are moving, heating and burning, what makes wind to move ship is that haltijas of air are moving, and what makes steel to be hard and to hurt is that haltijas of steel are hard and aggressive. When fire burns wood it is actually a fight in which väki of fire wins väki of wood. When vater rises to land, it is actually an attack of väki of water to territory of other väkis. So lots of things that happens in nature have an explanation based on väki (and its both meanings, power and folk). Of course ancient finns did not think this in such systematic philosophic way as i have presented it, but in practice they saw väkis everywhere and explained a lot by them.

I'm sorry, I haven't been able to do more editing lately. I'm extremely busy, and I hope to do more soon, but I might not be able to for a while. I see some other people are doing some edits. Stercus.caput 18:35, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimania 2010 could be coming to Stockholm!

[edit]

I'm leaving you a note as you may be interested in this opportunity.

People from all six Nordic Wiki-communities (sv, no, nn, fi, da and is) are coordinating a bid for Wikimania 2010 in Stockholm. I'm sending you a message to let you know that this is occurring, and over the next few months we're looking for community support to make sure this happens! See the bid page on meta and if you like such an idea, please sign the "supporters" list at the bottom. Tack (or takk), and have a wonderful day! Mike H. Fierce! 10:56, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The file File:Fake Will O Wisp Finland.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Plenty of historic depictions at Will-o'-the-wisp. Modern "fake" version not necessary to depict the concept.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ♠PMC(talk) 06:06, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

December 2023

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Finnic peoples. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. 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 and 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. Austronesier (talk) 20:36, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have reverted edits, returning false claims without a reason other than your support to it. If there is edit war you are edit warring. Please stop it. Tuohirulla puhu 18:07, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Finnic peoples. RetroCosmos (talk) 17:05, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have never vandalized wikipedia but acted against vandalism. Removal of obviously wrong claims is not vandalism. I have not edit warred. You have edit warred by reverting my edits. Stop vandalizing wikipedia. Tuohirulla puhu 17:48, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I do need to warn you that at this point you have exceeded the three revert rule, and I could block you right now, but I'm not going to. However, I am going to remind you about the bold, revert, discuss cycle. You have boldly redirected the article a number of times over the years, and each time you have been reverted. The next step is not edit warring, rather it's discussion. You did open a discussion on the talk page, at which you were advised that WP:AFD was the proper venue for the discussion that needs to happen. You responded by asserting you did not have time for AFD. At this point, please do not reinstate the redirect. Either take this to AFD or drop the stick. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 20:41, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
