[edit] Vyborg pictures
Hi!
I'm happy to see your (I guess!) pictures from Vyborg. My grandparents (well, at least three out of four) originate from the Vyborg–Priozersk area. Vyborg being the greater city, I've always heard a lot about its beauty. To me, recent photographs are a lot more telling than pre-war black-and-white pictures. Regards! /Tuomas 19:18, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Finland reaction on Prague Spring
This information would be perhaps better for an article about Finish history.
For that matter, reaction of Finnish government to supression of Solidarnosc was not exactly principal, I know about one Finnish historian who studies this period and was quite suprised his govenment still tries to classify documents from this period. I can find his email, perhaps he may wrote about this topic too and Prague Spring could be kept more on topic. Pavel Vozenilek 22:09, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- It touches Prague Spring, so it should be a part of the Prague Spring article. I feel it is quite important to mention something about reactions in the world. Finland is quite a good example. Moreover, the text was kept as short as possible. Miraceti 12:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lithuanian flag
Hi Miraceti, Regarding similarities between the Lithuanian flag and african ones. I'm not a fanatic about removing this statement, but it did seem out of place for me. My thoughts were along the lines of: "African flags? huh? bizarre! how could they have anything at all to do with each other if Lithuania became independent after WWI, while the african countries only became independent in the 50s to 70s. And most African flags don't look like that anyway, theyve usually got all sorts of little designs and diagonal lines (have a look at Flags of Africa). Why not Caribbean or Polynesian flags, while we're at it. It looks like a piece of random trivia, so to avoid giving undue prominence, I'll delete it."
Then again, it is possible these things are not as obvious as I thought. Have you had people note a resemblance between the Lithuanian and African flags?
Anyway, the undue prominence issue is to me the only problem (Check out WP:Undue weight). If we could phrase it in some way that doesn't make it stand out like a weird piece of trivia, I'd see no problem. Deuar 13:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- Right, I get you. How about a little section at the end entitled "trivia", where one could say something like:
- The choice of colours in the Lithuanian flag is unusual for a European country, but locals have been heard to say that the colours on some african flags are coincidentally similar.
- and see if it survives the other editors —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Deuar (talk • contribs) 11:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC).
