Welcome[edit]

Hello, 119.76.73.67! Welcome to Wikivoyage.

To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Wikivoyage:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.

By the way, have you considered creating an account here? While you can absolutely keep contributing as an anonymous user, it promises a bunch of benefits, and no obligations.

Thanks for your contributions to the Finland article and other articles. I'm not really sure if we need to have such an elaborate section about the Finnish police. ϒpsilon (talk) 15:39, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ypsilon for your comment. Yes, I am not sure either. However I think that from the global perspective it does add some value. It is subjective and rather practical notion, but it adds something on top of the cold "uncorrupted" notion, which does not actually serve much travelers. And indeed taking into account the recent events in Finnish Police, I think that this kind of notion is even useful. I think it is human, soft and supportive. What do you think?
I will try to trim it down a little. Finnish police is comparable to the rest of western/northern Europe. In short: if you're not look/behave suspiciously, are unfortunate enough to look like someone they're searching for they are probably not going to bother you.

Type of edits[edit]

I am somewhat worried about your edits to Finland. E.g. this series of edits included some speculation and what to me seems to politics, instead of trying to help travellers. I would like to keep the guides as concise as possible.

  • Finland being "only Nordic state" to join the euro was changed to "first", and that the others "still" have not joined.
  • About taxis you added "One of the latest sectors of industry in Finland to be privatized is the transportation, including taxis." There has not been any serious talks about deregulating the taxis, so this is irrelevant. You go on speculating about the "strange" policy by which taxis choose their customers, while the old "Hailing cabs off the street is difficult to impossible" seems enough for me. The fixed prices are negotiated for trips without competition from unlicensed taxis, so additionally, your speculation seems odd.
  • Civil groups patrolling the streets (as a response to immigration) should be of little relevance for normal travellers, but if they are to be mentioned, then I think your description is not too accurate.
  • I commented on false doctors on the talk page. I would like to hear what you base your description on.

I will revert these edits for now. I am glad to discuss them on the talk page. --LPfi (talk) 19:53, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
