Percentage sorting

[edit]

The sorting on the "Swedish-speaking percentage" column is off - it seems to be alphanumeric rather than numeric (for example, "8.5%" is sorted between "81.7 %" and "77.0 %"). This should probably be fixed by someone who knows more about sortable tables than I do. -- Schneelocke (talk) 12:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could it help if the "%" would be removed from the column?Urjanhai (talk) 09:37, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Can someone explain how this is a featured list? I'm sure it's complete, but it only cites two sources with the majority of the lead section having no references at all. Just looks odd to me. Thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 11:12, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree that this should have further referencing (at least make it clear what the list is sourced to), but considering this is a six-year-old list, I am not surprised that it needs some upkeep (this would preferably have been done before hitting the MP). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:44, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Likewise, I'm not sure how this made it to the main page when we have no source for the information in the main body of the list. I'm not sure how this list was compiled. Regardless of referencing of the lead, the list itself should have some antecedent source. I see none. --Jayron32 05:19, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For info, I've nominated it for FL removal. The link is at the top of the page. Thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 12:35, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wait. Isn't there a rule against putting articles/lists up for review even while they're on that main page? I know that it's not TFL anymore, but technically, it's still on the main page in the "Recently featured" section. It's also going to show up again on Friday and next Monday so I feel that there may be an issue. GamerPro64 17:49, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not Finnish

[edit]

In the column “Name in majority language”, I recommend that the name there given should be bolded if the majority language is not Finnish. This will make the list easier to follow because the reader will know which place names are in Finnish and which are in another language.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 13:40, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
