Talk:Maamme

message: I hope I did not step on too many toes now when I made Vårt Land into a disambiguation page; I did it as a consequence of a discussion on the Wikipedia:Requested moves page concerning a Norwegian newspaper by the same name. I also discovered that there has been, among other things, a Swedish newspaper called Vårt Land. There seems to be no point in putting a disambiguation notice on top when this page is under the Finnish title. / u p p l a n d 22:00, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Maamme or Maamme Laulu? 

message: Third paragraph of the article sound a bit biased while describing the preferred national song:
:"Some Finns would now like the Finnish national anthem to be changed to Finlandia by Jean Sibelius (also a Finland-Swede): partly because the original Vårt land was written in Swedish, not Finnish; partly because Pacius's tune is also used for the national anthem of Estonia with a similarly themed text, Mu isamaa, My Fatherland (1869); and partly because Pacius was German."
I just recently read for the first time an article where this was debated. As far as I know, there isn't any real movement to change to national anthem. Is this claim based on something else than maybe a single newspaper article or an opinion poll? The writer seems to be quite certain about the reasons people prefer Finlandia - is this based on a survey?
:"Some people would say that the national anthem of Finland is unlikely to change because of conservative traditions."
This sounds like a personal opinion and doesn't belong here.

thread_title:  Maamme vs. Finlandia 

message: I moved the article back to Maamme from Maamme or Vårt land. Maybe we could discuss this before making such a move? The move to "Maamme or Vårt land" also caused a lot of double-redirects which had not been fixed. -- Jniemenmaa 09:11, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article name 

message: The article says:
:"Note that in the original Swedish text there is no reference to Finland, only to a country in the north, but the Finnish text explicitly refers to Finland."
This may be slightly incorrect, however, because the fourth verse of the original poem in Swedish does contain a reference to the "Finnish people": 
:Det finska folkets hjärta slog, Här bars, vad det fördrog. 
Granted, the 4th verse is not sung as part of the anthem (only the first and last verses are), but still, that mention in the article could be revised a bit. --Jonik 15:51, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reference to Finland in the original "Vårt land" text 

message: Since Maamme and the Estonian anthem share the same tune, I have linked the instrumental music file for both. – Kaihsu (talk) 15:11, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Music file for the tune 

message: Could we at least get some citations for the claims of certain people wanting Finlandia as Finland's national anthem? I've heard of this rumour before but I've never seen which people/parties specifically are/were striving towards this goal. Same goes for the critics who supposedly said Finlandia is hard to sing. --TheHande (talk) 10:00, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not comfortable enough with wiki that I'd start editing the article, but there's a petition located in http://www.adressit.com/finlandia with over 1500 signings. Don't know if that's a reliable source though. 87.95.106.49 (talk) 16:29, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
