Finnish council of state

edit

Hello!

You added a table containing the historical councils of state, but deleted the table containing the current composition. I put it back, leaving your edit intact. Please think twice before removing information from articles in the future. --MPorciusCato (talk) 18:43, 15 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Why are you trying to stop me for editing the councils of states? Are you some kind of king of wikipedia?--Mannerheim (talk) 18:46, 15 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
I am not trying to stop you from editing anything. I am just, as a more experienced user, advicing you, as a newcomer to follow good Wikiquette. It is OK to add more information to an article, preferably sourced information, but it is not OK to remove information that is about the article subject. Such changes to articles should be discussed first. --MPorciusCato (talk) 17:24, 16 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
I'd also like to ask you to cite your sources. You are writing rather good articles, but you do not give the sources you use. Please cite them, even if they are Finnish books. --MPorciusCato (talk) 17:26, 16 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
I have took the sources from internet and I will put them all when all the cabinet are ready. --Mannerheim (talk) 17:48, 16 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

To Catch a Thief

edit

What is the basis of your belief that this film takes place specifically in the Cote d'Azur? Thanks. --Ring Cinema (talk) 21:45, 25 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

It is shoot in Cannes, Monaco, Nice all of them in Cote d'Azur. You have seen the film? All the cities are located in French Riviera. I visited these cities in last year in June. --Mannerheim (talk) 21:51, 25 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
Where a film is shot and where it is set are separate questions. Believe me, I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm asking specifically for the basis of your claim. If the film is ambiguous or silent, we should be as well. Perhaps we could discuss this on the article's discussion page? Thanks again. --Ring Cinema (talk) 01:33, 26 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
Cannes, Monte-Carlo (in Monaco) are mentioned in the film. Watch the film and learn more--Mannerheim (talk) 09:43, 26 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
Who mentions Cannes or Monte Carlo as the setting of the film? I've seen the film many times. --Ring Cinema (talk) 00:36, 27 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
Gary Grant to the French restauranter when he was taken by motor boad to the Cannes Beach Club in the begining of the film.--Mannerheim (talk) 09:17, 27 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
Also Nice was mentioned in the beginng of the film when Grant was in the flavour market waiting his concact. --Mannerheim (talk) 09:28, 27 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
What does Cary Grant say to the restauranteur that indicates they are in the French Riviera? I'm pretty sure you're right, but I don't recall anything specific on that subject. Since you made the change I imagine you know the very words. Many thanks. --Ring Cinema (talk) 20:44, 27 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
In the begining of the movie there was an travell agency which had poster for French Riviera and Grant was talking about the flavour market in Nice and Cannes Beach Club. If you have the film the answer will be in the begining. --Mannerheim (talk) 10:07, 28 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Although you may be completely correct, I hope you realize that you can't make a change like that without the evidence cold. A poster for the French Riviera in a travel agency could indicate that we're not on the Riviera. Depends. Talking about a flavour market (?) in Nice doesn't indicate that Nice is the setting. While I strongly suspect that you are not in error, it's not reassuring that you can't instantly point to a single unambiguous piece of evidence to support your claim. So, one more time: what is the concrete evidence that the film is set on the French Riviera? Thank you. --Ring Cinema (talk) 17:44, 28 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

I don't want to argue with you. If you are so naive so be it. Don't be like small government byrocrat.--Mannerheim (talk) 18:03, 28 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
I'm not being naive; I'm being accurate, which is the assignment here. Perhaps you are unaware that on Wikipedia it happens frequently that editors mistakenly say things are in a movie that are not. I edited a plot summary that included quotations

that didn't appear in the movie! Invented quotes! Since Hitchcock is so important and he is a skillful storyteller, we should be careful. Perhaps on some future date you will review the movie and notice a rock solid reason for saying the movie's set on the Riviera. I'll be the first one to admit that you're right, and with pleasure. Thanks a lot for your interest in improving the article. --Ring Cinema (talk) 19:35, 28 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Finnish communism

edit

Your articles on Finnish communists of the 1910s-20s are interesting and useful; however, please remember to cite your sources. DS (talk) 14:36, 7 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

And the same for your cabinet articles. Ironholds (talk) 21:33, 12 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

List of Nobel Peace Prize laureates

edit

This list has the potential of being a real POV magnet. We get people changing the reason for President Obama's award, or changing his nationality to "Kenya". We get revisionists from China editing the Dalai Lama's entry to claim that he is from China, or to add a "Peoples" slant to why he received the award. We get people on both sides of The Troubles changing the nationality of John Hume and David Trimble. The solution which the editors of that list agreed upon, long before I started watching it, was to just use the information provided by the Nobel Foundation. If you disagree with that solution and have another to propose, please do so at the list's talk page. Otherwise, your unexplained changes against that consensus are disruptive and have to stop.

  You might note that at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Swedish People's Party (Finland), also introduced some extraneous text around some numerical characters. This may be due to a combination of your browser and Skype trying to identify and highlight telephone numbers. Thank you.--Rumping (talk) 11:39, 14 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
