Talk:Finland

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I need a bit more information on finland like what is the population and how many years has Finland been in Europe and why they called it Europe and how many people live in Europe and why they live there.

You can probably find more information in the English Wikipedia article. Archer7 | talk 12:03, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prejudice?

Umm... I feel (as a Finn myself) that this article - especially from the Finnish people themselves - to be quite a stereotype. Small talk is not unknown here. The image circulating the Internet featuring all the different expressions of Finns that end up being the same photo over and over again is quite not what it really is.

Most amused I was when I read "Finns do not like cheating." What ever that might mean (poker games or relationships), can someone point a nationality that overall likes to cheat and when other people cheat?

As I'm actually not so good in Simple English (what are the odds of that, not speaking English as a mother tongue), could someone please change this section to be more accurate? --88.115.113.55 21:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I removed the comments on small talk and cheating. I am also wondering about the "Finns like saunas and nature" comment. -- Creol(talk) 13:01, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Well, we do. But that's sort of irrelevant, though. Still, there should be references to sauna and nature both in some other means. They both are a big part of the local culture and trademark features of Finland. :) And leastways, there's a typo. "Finns likes". --88.112.175.149 18:50, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
