Why is Pietarsaari, a Finnish town, up here with its Swedish name? Is the town known to English-speaking world as Jakobstad, or is it because the majority of the townspeople are Swedish-speaking? If there is no such reason, I think it should be titled with its proper Finnish name. I'll make the change if nobody gives a reason. RandomMonitor 09:17, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of the population of the city speaks Swedish, and it is - I think - a Wikipedia policy to name the cities and towns of Finland in the majority language. Thus Helsinki is Helsinki and not Helsingfors, Mariehamn is Mariehamn and not Maarianhamina. Andelarion 10:07, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Jakobstad's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "population_count":

• From Oravais: "Population by municipality as of 31 October 2010". Population Information System (in Finnish and Swedish). Population Register Center of Finland. Retrieved 16 December 2010.
• From Vähäkyrö: "VÄESTÖTIETOJÄRJESTELMÄ REKISTERITILANNE 31.1.2012" (in Finnish and Swedish). Population Register Center of Finland. Retrieved 11 February 2014.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 21:39, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
