Finland's status as a "neutral" is an euphemism at best. She was at the brink of being taken over by domestic communists supported by the victors of the Continuation War. It may be theoretically true, but if so, it's a misleading factoid, as it emphasizes less relevant information but supresses the more relevant.
Furthermore, even factoid on a "declaration of war" may be true - or not - but as the relevant link to the Lapland War is missing, and as the relevant dates for the war (September 19th for the commitment, November for start of hot combats, April for conclusion) are omitted (there is, admittedly, not much space) the result of these strange notions is nothing but confusion for the reader.
In any case, it's hard to understand why such informations are omitted in the relevant article.

I took Jacqueline Hopmayer off the list. She has no wiki page, and while she's apparently a 'Canadian Legend', I've never heard of her and I'm Canadian. I assume this was appropriate? I'm guessing the original add was maybe a joke? --Jacquilynne
