Your edit on Kvenland

Hello. I have reverted your edit on Kvenland since it is undiscussed, insuffiently/improperly sourced and contains a lot of speculations/assumptions, which look like original research. If you want to add it to the article you need to discuss it on the talk page of the article and reach consensus there, before adding it again. Thomas.W ^{talk to me} 11:09, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thomas. I simply rearranged the already existing "Possible other sources" under headlines in a unified way. I included a piece of relevant info - the archaeological discover from 2013, with sources and quotes. I am mot adding speculation. Instead, I was cutting down the lengthy, confusing and entirely un-sourced rambling about all the various lake possibilities that have been offered in the article all the way from Karelia, which is nowhere near any mountains, discussed by Ohthere. I think that part should be kept shorter. Don't you agree? Does anyone disagree? Lena Ast (talk) 02:55, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, you did not simply rearrange things, you added 3,295 bytes of what seems like original research, unsourced speculations and synthesis of something or other. Which is why I have once again reverted your edit. Take it to the talk page of the article and reach consensus there, before trying to add it again.

As stated on talk pages - including my comment to you above -, pertinent other info, with sources & expert quotes, were also added. This and my cropping down the original research about the "meres" and my changing the forwarding of Sarmatia to Sarmatia in the article accumulated most of the bytes. No support of Ohthere's "Sermende" referring to Persia has been provided. The contemporary Poland-related meaning of the term deserves to be shown in this article, as it is provided e.g. in the article Sarmatism.

How in your view does the Norwegian online dictionary^[1] - used as a source - support the claim that the term "Finn" in Norway would have meant only Sami? Why should misuse of a source and misleading of Wikipedia users be allowed, especially when historians have no consensus about this matter (as pointed out e.g. by K. Julku)?

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Art Dominique. Thank you.
