map suggestion[edit]

I suggest that the be replaced with one without Japanese katakana on it. I would be bold, but I'm pretty much a text contributor, as I know nothing about where to get legal map image. --Rajah (talk) 15:18, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/europe/finland_rel96.jpg looks like a decent public domain map to use for context. --Rajah (talk) 18:15, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Volume estimation[edit]

I am not sure about second figure. They could not be erroneous in estimations to such great difference (70 km3) It seems too big to me. I mean that 908 km3 is more reliable or further explanation needed. -Anton — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.157.120.18 (talk) 11:55, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I edited this figures to get correspondence of lake's area (excluding the islands, 17,891 km²), average depth (51 m) to it's water volume. It gives 912 km3. All other things too complex for me. ~Anton —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.157.120.26 (talk) 05:14, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology section[edit]

It looks confused to me. I think it needs serious review and careful rewriting. First it deals with a river name that is not related to "Ladoga". Then it talks about "a city made of lakes", which doesn't make sense.

Then it claims

The Old Norse intermediary word between Finnish and Old East Slavic word is fully supported by archeology, since the Scandinavians first appeared in Ladoga in the early 750s, that is, a couple of decades before the Slavs. (Emphasis added.)

"Supported" is impossible since archeology doesn't tell us anything about words unless it uncovers inscriptions; "fully" is an exaggeration and reads like forestalling disagreement. I also don't see how anyone can distinguish a couple of decades at that remove. Does it mean only that Slavs weren't mentioned in surviving documents? -- that is "fully" unconvincing.

The part about Helimski also mixes German with Germanic. Helimski mentions Middle Low German once or twice, but mostly bases the etymology on Old Norse. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 03:26, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
