Hi Jniemenmaa!
I saw that you have written som SF-related articles. If you know much on Finnish Science Fiction I would appreciate if you wrote a few words on the page above. I hunt people who might know things about Scandinavian Science Fiction :-) Gunnar Larsson 20:27, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Map of Petsamo

I'd like to order a small modification to your map of Petsamo: Could you separate Jäniskoski area from the map, as it was ceded to Soviet Union 1947. The area is closest to Lake Inari, a small rectangular area you could achieve by continuing the border straight between Norway and SU to border running in same direction between Finland and SU. Whiskey 12:18, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

You are heroes, both of you! /Tuomas 16:28, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, J.N., from the new map! (Well, the old border ran SW-NE direction instead of S-N, but that's nitpicking...) If you want to check some text ion issue, see http://www.finlex.fi/linkit/sops/19470009, where the text of the decree where the separation was done is readable (in Finnish, naturally. Sorry folks!). You can trust finlex: It is maintained by Finnish Department of Justice and is a database of Finnish laws and treaties. Whiskey 21:03, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Petsamo, Narvik, Malmbanan, Kiruna, Malmberget, Luleå

Since you have got some experience in the art of making png-maps, may I try to entice you to consider a map to illustrate the plans of 1940 for a Franco-British expedition force to the Arctic, that also could be useful in the context of Operation Weserübung?

I guess it would do with some modifications (Petsamo!) of the map at http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuva:Eurooppa.png

The Malmbanan railroad Narvik-Luleå, and the road to Petsamo, that the British were keen to avoid, are of course in the center of interest.

A peculiar wish of my own would be to illustrate a (typical) ice situation to illustrate the importance of Narvik, i.e. somewhat in accordance with:

Under milda vintrar finns det is i Bottenviken, på redderna utanför hamnarna i Bottenhavet och på Finska viken, i området öster om Borgå longitud. Under normala vintrar är alla Finlands sjödistrikt isbelagda. I söder går gränsen då norr om latitud 59 N.

--Johan Magnus 15:50, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Splendid idea! No offence, but I agree with JNiemenmaa, that the map can be improved ...in due time!

I wonder if it would be good to check what it would look like, if one tried to get all of the Kola peninsula, all of Finland ...and I think that would mean all of Norway too... on the map. It's true that the important things then became less obvious (i.e. the rail way line and the Petsamo road), but for people who are less versed in Fenno-Scandinavian geography, that might make it easier to connect the map to one's memory.

An arctic circle could maybe serve a similar purpose.

Another thing that might be valuable would be such a marker of distance, you know, like a stock that is marked for 200 and 500 kilometers, or whatever would be actual on that map.

But in any case - the map is very good in principle, and relevant for not so few articles! Improvements can be made later.
--Ruhrjung 19:08, 2004 Nov 12 (UTC)

Thanks to you both for your comments! I think it would be best to do several maps instead of trying to stuff too much info on a single map. A larger overview map for the nordic theater would be quite useful.

Adding a distance marker on the maps should be simple, but adding the polar circle is a lot of work, see my attempt in the map at nordic countries. -- Jniemenmaa 11:05, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

You are right, of course! :-) --Johan Magnus 22:03, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for your effort with Meänkieli! I saw your note on wikistress. It's not without me starting to feel some early warning symptoms too. I think I'll retreat to biographic articles. /Tuomas 09:31, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Version between Brion's map and Image:Lapland1940.png

Hello,

I would be interested in a map of Lapland with current borders. Image:Lapland1940.png has historical borders with names. Brion Vibber's map has current borders but no names. I would be interested in a map with current borders and names, for at least Narvik, Gällivare Municipality, Kiruna Municipality and Luleå Municipality. Do you have a version which would make it easier to create such a map than either version I mentioned?

Maps of the Continuation War

Hi.

I presume that Image:Continuation-War-1941.png presents the situation at the end of June, right after the start of war? In that case, it is missing some Soviet divisions: 1 Arm.Div.(1.Arm.D) in Kantalahti and 1 Inf.Div.(70.D)+1 Mt.Div.(198.Mt.D)+2 Arm.Div.(21. and 24.Arm.D) in Kannas.--Whiskey 14:23, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

At the start of hostilities, yes. If I remember correctly. I took most of the info from one of the "Jatkosodan historia" books. Too bad I don't have the specific book handy right now. At least the 1st Armoured Division was moved out of the area before it could fight. It is quite likely the reason I didn't put it in. I'll try to fix this sometime when I have time. I'll propably redo the whole map at the same time, I don't really like the look of the unit symbols. -- Jniemenmaa 15:33, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

That is true also to some other units as well. Those 21. and 24. Arm.Ds were moved to the southern side of Gulf of Finland as situation there become critical, but they were there at the time (or they were coming there) when Soviet Union decided to end phony war. --Whiskey 15:48, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

finno-ugric critic

delete. I don't see how this could become something else than an article pushing for a particular POV. Besides, there is already a Criticism section in Finno-Ugric languages. -- Jniemenmaa 09:25, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Where is criticism section on that page? If I write even a line, hipo or mustafa immediately delete everything, and refuse to discuss. Why do you like such an erroneous page without any critic? If you think, critic is righteous, why don't you vote to merge the pages? Is it not better for the quality of the wiki? Antifinnugor 10:11, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Naming conventions (military units)

Hi Jniemenmaa. Your earlier comments about WWII stuff helped motivate me to set up a draft Wikipedia:Naming conventions (military units), so drop on by if you want to participate in working it out. Notice that it is not intended to be WWII-only; the more the variety of times and places, the more general we can make the conventions. — B.Bryant 00:20, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Maps of Sweden

Hello. I found your name as you made the map at Kiruna. We Swedes need some maps of Swedish cities that shows their location in Sweden. As an example, see the map of German Schwerin and Swedish city Trelleborg at http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trelleborgs_kommun . See also Sweden_Wikipedians%27_notice_board

Is this something you'd be interested in? --Fred chessplayer ^{(talk) (edits)} 14:46, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'am afraid I don't have the time to do something like that (It would be quite a project). Not for the moment at least. I know User:Mic did a lot of Sweden related maps (unfourtunately he seems to have left).

Thanks for the link to the notice board, I'll keep an eye on that. -- Jniemenmaa 15:09, 3 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Maps of the Byzantine Empire on Commons

Hi! On the Dutch Wikipedia, some of your maps of the Byzantine Empire are used from Commons (see nl:Byzantijnse Rijk). I have a question about these maps. The maps are released under "GNU Free Documentation License"", but there is also a "(C) 2004 Jari Nemenmaa" in the top left courner. I'm no expert on copyright issues, but I guess GFDL and (C) are a contradiction? Tjipke de Vries (Talk on nl:wikipedia) 15:41, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This is best explained here: Wikipedia:Copyrights#Contributors.27_rights_and_obligations specifically it says that after contributing "you retain copyright to your materials". So I still own the copyright to the original image. But I guess anyone could just edit it and even remove my (c) notice. -- Jniemenmaa 08:47, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hey,

As discussed, it most probably is a copyright violation. Perhaps a good idea to delete it. I'm not quite sure how to do that. --Ansbachdragoner 4 July 2005 23:19 (UTC)

Help with Translation!?

Can you help translate this for me to swedish? Many thanks in advance!

For a small country, Albania is endowed with considerable resources. The southwestern part of the country is rich in petroleum and natural gas. The northeastern region has substantial reserves of metallic mineral deposits, including chromium, copper, and iron-nickel. Large deposits of lignite (soft coal) are found near Tiranë, and natural asphalt is mined near Selenicë.

Albania is also rich in rivers and streams with significant hydroelectric potential. These have been exploited quite effectively, making the country an energy exporter. A number of huge hydroelectric power plants have been built, mainly on the Drin River, and more than half of the country's arable land is irrigated, largely from the artificial reservoirs created upstream of the dams.

Romia Imperio.png

I have an article coming up for publication in the bulletin of a small academic society. I would like to use your image, Romia Imperio.png, in my article as a point of reference.

Speedy deletion nomination of Municipalities of Åland

A tag has been placed on Municipalities of Åland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

File:Many Karelias.png needs authorship information

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Many Karelias.png appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{subst:usernameexpand|Jniemenmaa}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
or use the {{own}} template.

If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:41, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Janet Asimov

The article Janet Asimov has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable writer and academician; does not meet WP:GNG, nor the specific guidelines WP:AUTHOR or WP:ACADEMIC. The entire basis for notability is that she was the second wife of Isaac Asimov. Isaac, of course, is very notable, but his notability does not extend to a family member who does not herself have any basis for notability independent of her spouse; see WP:NOTINHERIT.

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
