Untitled[edit]

It is a common debate in Finland whether Vantaa has access to the sea or not. I have looked at the maps and have found that the answer is yes. There is a very narrow bay to the east of Helsinki and part of the northern shore of this bay belongs to Vantaa. Vantaa does not have access to the sea anywhere else. — JIP | Talk 18:52, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Photographs[edit]

What kind of photographs exactly are requested? —Ppntori 23:34, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mika Salo[edit]

Is it necessary to mention Mika Salo so soon in the article? He's a famous guy, but not that famous. 62.240.89.223 (talk) 22:54, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Valtteri Filppula[edit]

Valtteri Filppula is less famous than Mika Salo so he shouldn't be mentioned at the begining. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.113.71.201 (talk) 15:43, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Demographic evolution and photos[edit]

I was thinking that the demographic evolution table should probably be horizontal and all the photo's put into a gallary section? Govvy (talk) 15:31, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Vantaa[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Vantaa's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "population_count":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 05:13, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Anachronism fixed[edit]

I have fixed an anachronism in the article. King Magnus II of Sweden could not have granted salmon fishing rights in Vantaa in 1351 as he died two centuries before that. Apparently the correct king was Magnus IV of Sweden. JIP | Talk 22:47, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently information of Magnus II of Sweden was added in this edit by User:SimoM almost eighteen and a half years ago. It's a good thing this anachronism was finally discovered. I don't think it's worth notifying SimoM as he has not edited Wikipedia in thirteen years. JIP | Talk 23:06, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
