In the third paragraph in the "Geography" section, the following:
- "However, in the northern regions, including areas bordering the Scandinavian Mountains, the terrain features mountainous elevations. Making Halti at 1,324 metres (4,344 ft) the highest point in Finland."
Should be changed to something like:
- "However, in the northern regions, including areas bordering the Scandinavian Mountains, the terrain features mountainous elevations. At 1,324 metres (4,344 ft), Halti is the highest point in Finland."
This fixes the second sentence (in bold) to not incorrectly start with a verb. Splasse (talk) 06:09, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Estonia is not Finland's neighbour[edit]
There is a sea between them. Like The UK is not USAs neighbour, or Libya Italy's neighbour Uslager (talk) 15:00, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- UK is often seen as France's neighbour? I don't think countries have to be adjacent with a land border. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:21, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed. Neighbouring countries can either share a border or be visible from each other. The latter is the case here. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 20:22, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Don't their territorial waters meet halfway across the Gulf of Finland?? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:43, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- I think you're right, but I am not an expert on the topic. Here are some sources:

- Australia and New Zealand are commonly described as neighbours. They are 1500 kilometres apart across the Tasman Sea. (Really part of the Pacific Ocean.) It helps that they are very similar culturally and linguistically. Australia is geographically closer to three other nations, but they are less culturally similar, and less often described as neighbours. HiLo48 (talk) 22:14, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
Uranium (as of 2024)[edit]
2024-June-18: Finland seems to be in a special position (in the EU) in regard to Uranium.--Source YLE.fi, "Suomi on nyt Euroopan ainoa uraanin tuottaja – Sotkamon uraanikaivos tuottaa polttoainetta yhden ydinvoimalan tarpeeseen", Link, https://yle.fi/a/74-20094118. Should uranium (or a uranium-related article) be mentioned in the Finland article? Please edit the article (while i fix other articles). 80.67.37.2 (talk) 14:27, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- Economy_of_Finland#Mining is very lackluster, consisting of just a list of notable mines. It should contain an overview of the minimg industry in Finland, like most countries. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:35, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected edit request of Note 2[edit]

The second sentence of Note 2 (Bolded):
"Finland was the first nation in the world to give all (adult) citizens full suffrage, in other words the right to vote and to run for office, in 1906. New Zealand was the first country in the world to grant all (adult) citizens the right to vote, in 1893. But women did not get the right to run for the New Zealand legislature, until 1919."
might be better as the following:
"Finland was the first nation in the world to give all (adult) citizens full suffrage, in other words the right to vote and to run for office, in 1906. New Zealand was the first country in the world to grant all (adult) citizens the right to vote in 1893, but women did not get the right to run for the New Zealand legislature until 1919."
as the extra comma is removed and the last sentence no longer begins with "but".
