I understand you have a political axe to grind about Finland, but Wikipedia doesn't work like that. You need reliable sources to support the changes you make. Making changes based on your own arguments and standpoints is called "Original Research" and is not allowed, as it would mean that people with different opinions and arguments would end up fighting over what it should say. (They do anyway, but to a lesser extent). --OpenFuture (talk) 06:48, 31 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

-Everyone here can see how it is like. The homeless collect cans, wait in freezing temperatures in the breadlines. Does not much matter what the politicians "research" says.

The definition of a welfare state has nothing to do with how successful it is. --OpenFuture (talk) 14:16, 31 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

-Actually, the very definiton implies something else. --Kaualiemenee (talk) 14:18, 31 July 2011 (UTC)Reply


I understand what you mean and I sympathise with your position. But you will need to read up on how Wikipedia works, primarily WP:NPOV, WP:OR and WP:V. If you continue with your edits like the ones on Welfare state there is a high risk you'll end up blocked, and I don't think that would help anyone. --OpenFuture (talk) 14:33, 31 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
