Talk:Lapland (Sweden)

A more appropriate name of the article should be Lapland, Sweden or Lapland province, Sweden.

"Swedish Lapland" it not an official name. The official province name is Lappland, which may be translated into English as 'Lapland'.

The article named "Lapland Province" only deals with the province in Finland, which is arguable since the Swedish province is not only bigger, it is still regarded as one of Sweden's 25 (historical) provinces and its boundaries are well-defined, signposted etc. Torsten22 23:30, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Wrong coat of arms
The coat of arms shown on this page is incorrect, check swedish wikipedia for the right one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.250.44.122 (talk) 14:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Not sure what coat of arms was in the article back in 2007, but the current version is incorrect. This is the Finnish version, just with colours changeed.

I'm removing it, hoping someone can produce the Wild Man of Swedish Lapland. --176.68.228.42 (talk) 08:22, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Heraldry
I believe the correct heraldic term for ’Wildman’ in the blazon is ’Savage’ in English./Luke 84.23.155.84 (talk) 12:36, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

"Wildman" skin color
"The colour red of his skin was decided only in 1949; before then various colours had been used (natural skin colour in the first half of the 20th century)."

The phrase "natural skin colour" implies that red skin is unnatural. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.11.198.44 (talk) 04:57, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

maybe mention ’lapp’/’lap’ term controversy somewhere?
As mentioned in the sámi page the term ’lapp’/’lap’ is commonly considered a slur when used to refer the the sámi people. Seems it would be relevant to mention that somewhere in the page. Meja223 (talk) 09:18, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
