message: I think that the song itself and cartoon should be split into different articles. Abolen 21:44, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree The article is rather short. Splitting into two different articles would only exacerbate the problem. Furthermore, splitting is almost always done only because the original article is too long (or the split section is too detailed for the article). --Arabani (Talk ∞ Contribs) 03:34, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Do we even need that enormous section about the cartoon? To merely mention that there's a flash cartoon featuring a Bleach character would be enough, do we really need to know that people find it funny or need to know the reason that the character is holding a leek in the cartoon that the screencap comes from?

thread_title:  Proposed Split 

message: I would not argue, but one of Loituma members, Timo Väänänen, wrote a letter to one of Russian Polkka Community members, in which he says that lyrics are really in Savo dialect:
http://community.livejournal.com/ru_polkka/29297.html#cutid1
 The lyrics for Finns are quite funny because it is in Savo dialect
 (Savo is in the eastern Finland) that is very humoristic.
As I can learn from the article, Savo is not the dialect as such (with it's own vocabulary etc), but rather just an eastern pronunciation.
May it be so that lyrics are written in plain Finnish but sung in Savo? Abolen 05:07, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The lyrics can be found at http://www.noside.com/nsd6010note.html and the dialect is barely understantable to a person talking 'standard' finnish. Orsanthes 20:34, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

text: The lyrics are definately written in some sort of Savo, not standard Finnish.  Savo is otherwise considered a dialect. --Ryan 15:23, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Savo or not? 

message: I just removed all links except the ones to the assumed origin of the flash cartoon, the live video clip and the lyrics. I hope no one feels restrained, but I see no need to list up several links that point to identical files.

message: DJ Sharpnel made a song which features samples of the song quite prominently. The name of it is Pretty Green Onions. Is this noteworthy enough to be mentioned? If you're curious about the song and unsure of where to check it out, the easiest would probably be here. Just hit the play button. 24.192.245.240 21:28, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lyrics? 

message: I have added to the article two links to Youtube content with the versions allegedly performed by Arttu Suuntala and Pauli Räsänen respectively. They both contain no video, and the potential copyright infringement is lower. On the other hand their value in the historical context is high. Some absent-minded bot have reverted the addition. After the reinstatement some (no comment) user have used the very convinient "undo" mouse-click, and acted as a bot.
Looking at Wikipedia:External links/YouTube one can read:
* " ... websites such as YouTube (...) have significant amounts of copyright-infringing material, but also have material which may be valuable as an external link within a Wikipedia article. ..."
* "... Most link removals are uncontested, and the removed links are not replaced, but somewhere between 1% and 10% of links are replaced, often with discussion of why the link was valuable/not copyvio/etc. ... Very occasionally these discussions become incivil and/or edit wars erupt over the legitimacy of the link. ..."

replies: text: I'm sorry, I was mistaken. I thought indeed youtube-links were prohibited on Wikipedia in general. I read the section after your second revert and stand corrected. — N-true (talk) 13:15, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I think that the famous flash is older. What source of information is used to say 2006? I received via mail this flash much earlier, but I can't remember exactly (2000, 2001...)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.57.210.28 (talk) 00:38, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Since when? 

message: The video clip is from the film :fi:On lautalla pienoinen kahvila  (in swedish Flottarkärlek, according to this:  en Ferryboat romance). The actual singing performance and the actor playing the scene in the film may not be the same, I am not sure if the information here:  refers to the singer who performed the song in audio or to the actor who appears in the scene and whether or not the actor and the actual singer in playback were the same person or not. For sure this is told somewhere. --Urjanhai (talk) 06:39, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

message: Is this really true? Most people know the song from Miku and the scat singing part of Leekspin, which aren’t a part of Eino Kettunen’s lyrics. In effect only the tune survived, and that really is a traditional folk tune. I’ll remove that sentence but if anyone has a problem with that pls tell me. I💖平沢唯 (talk) 12:50, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
