Scope[edit]

@Swiãtopôłk: it is my opinion that this article is a list of flags of Finland (as in, the state the Republic of Finland), and not a WP:INDISCRIMINATE collage of any flags used in the country by whatever private organizations, with no relation the the actual flag of Finland. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 08:43, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Maddy from Celeste: well, my visa for such lists is to make it easier to find by topic that interests someone. for example, to check which club a yacht seen at the wharf belongs to, or anyone would like to check if the far right in Finland uses the swastika.

PS, sorry that you had to wait 2 days for a reply, I had technical problems.

Swiãtopôłk (talk) 22:31, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that position but don't agree, still per Wikipedia:INDISCRIMINATE. Maybe we should post on Wikipedia:Third opinion or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Finland? ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 10:50, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I personally don't see any contradiction between my approach and Wikipedia:INDISCRIMINATE. Swiãtopôłk (talk) 11:38, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've posted a request for third opinion on WP:3. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 18:19, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

About the Third Opinion request: The request made at Third Opinion has been removed (i.e. declined). Like all other moderated content dispute resolution venues at Wikipedia, Third Opinion requires thorough talk page discussion before seeking assistance in order to honor the collegial and consensus-forming goals of Wikipedia. A thorough discussion requires an effort to work things out between you by back and forth discussion, each responding to the issues raised by the other, not just making a statement and then calling in the cavalry when it is opposed. — TransporterMan (TALK) 19:34, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
