[edit] Previous comments
"Autiotupa" is a term and not a name. Is there an English translation for the title, then? JIP | Talk 13:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Google found "wilderness cottage", "solitary cabin", "empty hut", "abandoned hut". It doesn't seem like any of them would refer to this same thing, though, and they're not used that much. –Mysid(t) 13:58, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Only in Finland?
"As such, the tradition is almost solely found in Finland, and to some extent in Sweden and Norway, too." I don't know how you define 'hut' exactly, but there are very similar wilderness cabins that operate under very similar rules in many European mountain ranges (eg Romania). Where does this claim come from?--Zambaccian 21:26, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
We also have essentially the exact same thing in New Zealand.--horus
And in France too. Nice little article - needs a re-write for grammar though --Gavinio 23:14, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Done. I tried not to change things too much, though. Incidentally, we have a similar system in the Highlands of Scotland.--Zhengfu 01:24, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- The claim comes from the corresponding article in the Finnish Wikipedia. I tried to search for similar articles here, but couldn't find any—that's why I translated the article as such. Now it seems like both versions should be changed a bit. –Mysid(t) 05:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge proposal
I think that Wilderness hut and Backcountry hut are prime candidates for merging - the only real difference at the moment is what countries they focus on --Ozhiker (talk) 10:34, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support - they are about the same thing and this will help to reduce over specialization of the article. -- maelgwn - talk 11:45, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support as creator of this article, if it matters. :-) ›mysid (☎∆) 14:22, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Support but there's also hut, climbing hut, bothy and alpine hut to consider. I've been trying to get around to doing some form of rationalisation of these for a while now. Malathos (talk) 20:53, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose. Wilderness hut and Backcountry hut are similar but the differences can support separate articles. They are both nicely rounded articles. Merging them would make an unnecessarily longer and less focussed article. -- Alan Liefting-talk- 23:14, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Alan_Liefting, could you elaborate on what differences you see between the articles? I've used huts in New Zealand extensively and I think that apart from the Scandinavian focus and history, the Wilderness hut article describes the NZ huts pretty well. There are also huts in many other countries - e.g. Australia, Canada, Chile & Argentina that I've used which are not described by either article. --Ozhiker (talk) 10:42, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- I've added Bothy to the merge proposal --Ozhiker (talk) 10:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- Support - even if there are regional variations all of these articles seem to be discussing the same sort of thing. Rodney Boyd (talk) 17:23, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- support merging bothy, wilderness hut, and backcountry hut. Even merging Alpine huts seems reasonable (although they seem to be a bit more classy, in general). Hut (dwelling) should be a separate article. Samulili (talk) 08:43, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose I have just added the estate bothy and this is certaily not like the wilderlness bothy. Deben Dave (talk) 12:21, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
