Didn't see this in time to comment.  "Fenn-" is the Latin form, not from Swedish.  True, the Finn- form wins out 2:1, but largely by sources that don't know the Latinate word and so create one ad-hoc from "Finnish" -- rather like saying "cat-ophile" because you don't know the word ailurophile.  — kwami (talk) 05:24, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

text: The Latin Wikipedia uses the form :la:Finnia, although apparently the form Fennia is older in Latin usage and Finnia is gaining ground just recently. But anyway, are you sure that these "ization" words in English all come from Latin? Anglicization could come from either English or Latin, but it's pretty clear terms like Czechization only come from English. So shouldn't the relevant word be Finnish, not Finnia/Fennia anyway? --Pudeo' 03:22, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

message: There is no modern aether theory in physics. The concept has been disproven without doubt.

Talk:Association

message: Moved from the Wikipedia:Village Pump
In the page on "association", I see something about associations being some "nominate" contract in "the civil law system".
It's a bit misleading to talk of "THE" civil law system. There are dozens of civil law systems, and I suspect that their laws on corporations vary greatly.
I think one should be very prudent before stating general facts. If you are sure that what you say applies in a certain country, say it; but avoid drawing broad generalities.
It's especially easy to say untruths on questions of law if one bases oneself on reports in the press. Journalists are often thoroughly incompetent in the law of their own country, let's not even talk of the laws of other countries. User:David.Monniaux.
