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]

My request is to add to the article about Finland the fact that Finland has been chosen to be the happiest country in the world by The World Happiness Report for seven consecutive years. I find it weird that this information is missing. Finlander4321 (talk) 21:45, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What's your source? This article on the World Happiness Report might be useful. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:46, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Heart ^(talk) 21:50, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are no fewer than five separate sources, at World Happiness Report, supporting the claim that "As of March 2024, Finland has been ranked the happiest country in the world seven times in a row." Just sayin'. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:56, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
