User:Ghirlandajo insists on removing the following text: "It suffered from Russian ravaging: in May 1720 it was burnt down, and at the close of the Finnish War in 1809 the Russian army under Barclay de Tolly took Umeå."

But now you know. / Fred-Chess 17:05, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Chess, you behavior is immature. Instead of expanding the article to present all POVs, I see you red-faced and in hysterics. Please cool off. A similar behaviour by Wiglaf induced me to start reviewing his contributions to Russia-related articles and beyond. Now your nervous reaction makes me think about reviewing the articles on Swedish agressions against Russia as well. --Ghirla | talk 17:12, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
I have changed "Russian ravaging" to "Russian attacks", which seems more neutral. Fred, you need to give your source for the sentence you've added. Please supply it in the references section and put an inline reference where the statement is, as either a footnote, or a parenthesis of the form (see Svensson, p. 87). Ghirlandajo, you need to not be so rude. Your edit summaries and your post above contain personal attacks. What's it got to do with 18th-century history that Fred's up for admin? Comment on the content, not the contributor, please. I'm surprised to see you use words like "immature", "red-faced", and "hysterics" about a disagreement over a matter of fact. I also note that your latest edit summary accuses Fred of "rv warring" at a point where he has reverted once and you twice. Please pull in your horns. Bishonen | talk 19:06, 7 February 2006 (UTC).
