Hi Adigama, I reverted your change to the Onkamojärvi article. It's simply one island with a two-word name, not two separate islands. Regards, Jafeluv (talk) 14:05, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jafeluv, thank you for the correction. But now I do not understand why the named islands are 14, the unnamed islands are 7 and the total islands are 22. Where is the mistake? Thank again Adigama (talk) 15:18, 18 December 2012 (UTC)


 * That's a very good question. I translated the page from Finnish, and the figure 22 came from there. Since then it's been changed to 32 in the original article, although it still names just 14 islands and states that there are seven unnamed islands in the lake. I'll try to ask someone who has access to the source what the actual number could be. Jafeluv (talk) 16:08, 18 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, counting small islands is always a matter of definition (how small islets to include etc). Looking at a 1:80000 map you'll see only 4 named and 3 unnamed islands. Changing the scale to 1:16000 you'll easily find more. The number 32 comes from the Finnish lake register (maintained by the environmental administration) so you could say it is an official figure. The register further specifies that 4 of the islands are greater than one hectare, and 28 are between 0.01 and 1 ha. You can see they counted very small islets. — I don't know where the 22 came from, but the "14+7=22" mystery is easily solved: one of the 14 named islands is Lujesaaret (plural), in fact two islands (map ). --Jmk (talk) 06:26, 19 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks to both, I corrected the italian page. Adigama (talk) 15:30, 19 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Changed the English page, to indicate that the list of islands is incomplete and to remove the number of unnamed islands. Does that work better? Jafeluv (talk) 10:25, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
