Talk:With God on Our Side (song)

message: The article's statement that the song "address[es] the tendency of Americans to believe that God will invariably side with them" is not obviously supported by the given link. Surely Dylan the universalist may be recognising that many countries/races/groups tend to believe that He is with them in war? Evidence one way or the other would be useful.
Meanwhile, I've inserted "(or many societies)". Which is not ideal, or supported. But you do better. Onanoff (talk) 18:35, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Sestra (Leningrad Oblast)

message: Sestra River is the Russian version for Siestarjoki, later renamed to Rajajoki (Border River).
However, original Finnish name is Siestarjoki and historically the river forms the border between Finland (Karelia) and Inkereland (Ingermanland).
The Swedes called it Systerbäck.
Siestarjoki village belonged to Kivennapa county in Grand Duchy of Finland to 1864. That year
Tsar Aleksandr II suggested to Finnish Diet the exchange the Siestarjoki village to Russian territory with compensation to coastal area in Petsamo to the Arctic Sea between Norwegian border and Jaakopinjoki (Jacob´s River) near Stolbova Bay.
The reason for this was a foundation of Siestarjoki Fifle Factory which Tsar wanted to be inside Imperial Russian territory, not inside the Grand Duchy of Finland.
This Imperial Ukaze was given in Helsinki on February 14, 1864.
The original text is preserved in Helsinki and many word to word describitons of text are
published in Finnish literature in Finnish and Swedish languages.

Talk:Ural (river)

message: Once again, Wikipedia distorts facts and misleads. The Ural River does NOT flow "through eastern Europe". It is at most a boundary between Europe and Asia, and part of it arguably flows solely through Central Asia (at its northern route where it runs to the east of the Ural Mountains, e.g. in the area of Magnitogorsk). Britannica cites the Ural River solely as a Central Asian river, not a European one. Contemporary maps and authorities DO NOT indicate the Emba River as any kind of boundary between continents. The decision by UEFA to accept Kazakhstan has no bearing on strict geographical definition of Europe, as a number of geographically non-European nations play in UEFA. You are in the wrong.
