 * Hi, the Scandinavia page does make clear that 'local' use is distinct from the looser use in English, but what it cannot do is dictate to English speakers how they should use a word. There are other place names which are similarly defined differently in 'local' use - Balkan comes to mind, as does the use of 'British Isles' to include Ireland - which offends most Irish people, or 'Holland' to mean the Netherlands.

Disruptive editing
Your edits and edit summaries to Scandinavia are highly disruptive. First and foremost, do not make comments about what self-respecting people should think. This is considered personal attacks and will get you banned very quickly if you continue. Second, never mark an edit as minor unless you fix a missing comma or correct a typo in a word. Third, as has already been pointed out to you, please note that on English Wikipedia, we use English. What concepts may mean in other language is irrelevant, English usage is what counts.
