The alleged Finnish name is indeed not even unofficial but constructed by nationalist Fennomans. Therefore, I remove the information as redundant. Icarus1978 21:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
See also Lemland's website and map from Maanmittauslaitos for confirmation that the name in Finnish is indeed Lemland. Do notice that Mariehamn in that image has two names: Mariehamn, and Maarianhamina, the latter being the name in Finnish, so this is not a map with only Swedish names.-- NordicStorm (t/c) 10:39, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You have no reasons to delete Lemlanti -name --83.102.5.106 13:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You mean, besides the reason mentioned above? -- NordicStorm (t/c) 15:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I cant see any reason why to remove finnish name, have you? I have see many articles about inner-Finland where has placed swedish name so why not finnish name in majority swedish article? Swedish and Finnish is both as worth as languages. --Jommala 21:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
The reasons are detailed above. The Finnish name is "Kökar" "Lemland", and that's what in the article. For you to suggest that it has something to with "worth as languages" is, quite frankly, insulting.-- NordicStorm, modified on 21:48, 18 July 2007 (UTC) (t/c) 21:41, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Let see example Rääkkylä...there is swedish name Bräkylä, but cannot find it neither offial municipality page nor Maanmittauslaitos. Still there is not even mention about swedish name isnt official. --Jommala 21:28, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Deal with it on Rääkkylä's talk page.-- NordicStorm (t/c) 21:41, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Besides, "Lemland" is referred to as "Lemland" in Swedish as well as in Finnish. And "Lemland" is in the article. Can't comment on the siutation with Rääkkylä.-- NordicStorm (t/c) 21:47, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nowadays officially but there is still use about finnish name like in speak languages and unofficially purposes. --Jommala 07:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what you're trying to say? But the Finnish name for "Lemland" is "Lemland". And that's in the article.-- NordicStorm (t/c) 10:06, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But also Lemlanti..-land Finnish form is -lanti. Same as Uppland -> Uplanti, Värmland -> Värmlanti ext... --Jommala 11:46, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
