Stockmann department store[edit]

The article says:

Jansson was born in Helsinki in 1886 to Julius Viktor Jansson and Johanna Theresia (Karlsson). His father worked at the Stockmann department store, later owning a haberdashery store.

Something is wrong here. The Stockmann, Helsinki centre store was only built in 1930, when Viktor Jansson himself (not his father) was already 44 years old. Perhaps this should mean the older premises of the store? JIP | Talk 19:59, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Stockmann business was founded in 1862 according to this Stockmann document so it is perfectly possible that his father worked for them. I agree with you that his father could not have worked in the new 1930 building, since he died when Viktor was six (about 1892). Stockmann must have had other premises during the 68 years from 1862 to 1930 where he could have worked. I don't think that the article claims that he worked in the 1930 building. Thanks for raising this. — Hebrides (talk) 22:40, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The link in the article text links to Stockmann, Helsinki centre which is about the specific store rather than Stockmann which is about the company in general. JIP | Talk 13:55, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The link is misleading. I changed it to link to Stockmann. Thanks. — Hebrides (talk) 19:13, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
