"Its name in Finnish — as sometimes given on maps and in other Finnish-language documents — is Maarianhamina." This sentence should be removed. The population of Åland and Mariehamn don't wanna risk that somebody might believe it is an official name.

Err, but it is its official Finnish name! --TonyM ^{ｷﾀ━( °∀° )━ｯ!!} 11:26, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

"Mariehamn is unilingually Swedish-speaking and around 89.5% of the inhabitants speak it as their native language."

How can the place be defined unilingual when only 9/10 speak the majority language natively? Either the non-Swede's have stopped speaking their mother tongues, or there is something funny going on with the definition of unilingual. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.220.141.180 (talk) 18:03, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
