[edit] Ian Smith

Bob, old boy, I don't know your motivation, why you're doing it, or your history—but I request that you stop adding material to articles solely to twist their political direction in your favour. You use sensationalist, innapropriate and hyperbolic terms such as 'race war' and write things blatantly out of context. Every time I've reverted your changes you haven't been interested in working towards a neutral article, you've told me about how bad 'Smithy' is. Every time you change a Rhodesia article, it's to bend it from a neutral work into a peice of 'liberation' history. michael talk 04:18, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Mikkeli

Hey Bobby!

You wrote:

"Britain declared war on Finland in December 1941 after attacks on British shipping and aircraft were made from Finnish territory, and I believe that the US declared war on Finland shortly afterwards. So, it is not correct to suggest that Finland was only fighting the Soviet Union in WWII"

The US never declared war on Finland or vice versa, faith can move a mountain, but can it change history.

Could you provide details of these attacks on British shipping and aircraft from Finnish territory. Or details of any hostilities between Finnish armed forces and allied forces or civilians excluding Soviet Union.

Thanks in advance. JM

  • From September 1941, British naval and air force units were based at Murmansk. These included submarines and reconnaissance aircraft. They were regularly attacked by axis ground, air and naval forces based in northern Finland. I suspect that the attacks were mainly carried out by Germans, although Finns may have manned anti-aircraft guns. If I can find an internet accessible source for this information, I will add it here. The US may not have formally declared war on Finland, but the terms of the US-Soviet treaty of 1942 amounted to the same thing. Bob BScar23625 22:54, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

ps : JM. Check out (Finland). best wishes. Bob BScar23625 21:33, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
