Talk:Karelia

message: The term "White Karelia" is now used in some English-language sources (by Finns, as it seems). It seems to be a folk-etymological misinterpretation of Finnish/Karelian "Vienan Karjala": somebody has concluded that since the White Sea is "Vienanmeri" in Finnish/Karelian, "Viena" must mean "white". (It doesn't – most probably, the name is related to the river name Dvina/Vienanjoki.) Neither in Karelian nor in Russian is White Sea Karelia (Viena Karelia) called "White Karelia". It would be good to stop the spreading of this term.

message: :Image:Kizhi old.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.
* If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
* If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
* If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request
