History section

Wouldn't it be a good idea to either rename the World War II section to something like World War II and beyond or create a new subsection, since currently all history starting from WW2 are bunched together under it? 84.250.160.98 (talk) 14:33, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, have corrected. A new sub-section could still be created if appropriate. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:48, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Finland has won the championship in ice hockey 3 times. In 1995, 2011 and 2019.

Lede too long

The lead is too long and does not match the WP:Lead section criteria. I am removing the part about ancient history which does not concern Finland but rather its ancient territory into one or two sentences like in other county articles. I believe your behaviour is unacceptable Velivieras, there is no 10,000 years of history of Finland. Oliszydlowski (talk) 11:18, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the introduction could be shorter, but it should be done by including the same information in more compact form, not just deleting it. Velivieras (talk) 05:07, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you should take part as I am not fully experienced in Finnish history. Regards. Oliszydlowski (talk) 10:41, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Given that the country established autonomy within the Russian Empire only on 29 March 1809, I'm also unsure as to why material relating to history, or even pre-history, long before this, should appear in the lead section. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:49, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Milk consumption

The part "Cuisine" from chapter "Culture" claims incorrectly that an average Finn consumes a litre of milk per a day. Nowadays the milk consumption isn't definitely so high. Even though Finland might be the top consumer of milk in the world, the consumption has declined for a long time. The consumption was a litre per person per a day in the 1950s - in 2016 an average Finn consumed approximately 125 kilograms of milk per year. That means approximately 1/3 liters per a day.[1] The equivalent value of 2017 was 112 liters per capita per year.[2] --Arkke (talk) 14:45, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article should be updated with the latest data. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:54, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I can't edit this article due to protection against vandalism. The incorrect data is referred into a humourous website with low source criticism. The better source is from Luke, natural resource institute of Finland. The information about milk consumption should be referred to that website, and explained about "Milk consumption is also high, about 112 litres per capita per a year".--Arkke (talk) 16:07, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:13, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
