Talk:Historical provinces of Finland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Importance of historical provinces?
I think the importance of these should be scaled down. It's a major annoyance every time I try to link to the article about the Finland Proper region I have to type the '(region)' there. Historical provinces are far less important in my opinion than current regions, if only for the fact that articles about current municipalities in those regions are easier to link there when the article actually has the same name as the region.
So I suggest adding (historical province) to the titles of the Finland Proper, Finnish Karelia, Ostrobothnia, Savonia, and Tavastia articles. Then moving the Finland Proper (region) article to Finland Proper, and for the rest writing articles that are not about any administrative regions but the actual areas that the names pertain to (because they are different). I might do that myself in a few days, if nobody objects. - ulayiti 14:27, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
