[edit] Removal of link to copyright infringement

This request has been moved from Wikipedia:Requested copyright exmaination:

A link in Wikipedia: Bjarmaland points to two links, one is mine and the other is a copy of my page with minor changes. I made this page for Karen Mulders of the Netherlands who was doing her Phd studies and requested information about Bjarmland. I noticed the hunmagyr site soon after with my translations and content. This does not comply with "fair use" because the work is substantially the whole article and not just parts.

My site is: http://uralica.com/kola.htm The offending site is: http://www.hunmagyar.org/turan/karelia/bjarm.html

This is verifyable from Karen Mulders. [email address redacted] I have not emailed her for some time so not sure if emails correct. Please remove the offending link. I have tried in the past to contact the person but have not found the email address on the pages.

Thank you, Osmo Joronen —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.70.129.34 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Polishing needed

The article needs some restructuring and overall polishing, also references to its contents. Volunteering to do that in the upcoming weeks if no objections are raised. --Drieakko 06:33, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

You are welcome. I believe the most essential thing is to purge any mention of Kvens from the article. Academic references are required; currently the page smacks of original research. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 08:13, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

There will surely be no Kvens. --Drieakko 09:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bjarmland vs Wisu

If Bjarmaland possible can be Perm, is can be related to Wisu. --Üntïflër (ә?) 19:59, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Bjarmaland was not Perm. Their names are related, that's all. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 14:30, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Possibility exists for this, though this is speculation. Scandinavian sources never describe the extent of Bjarmaland, as they seem to have always been in touch only with the trade center in the Dvina delta. River Dvina is easily navigable all the way up to the area of Perm from which it flows. --Drieakko 14:46, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Please take a look at the map. The Dvina flows towards Vologda, from whence portages lead to Lake Kubenskoe and Beloozero. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 15:09, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Here is the city of Arkhangelsk in the Dvina delta, kindly follow the river to see that it flows from the Perm area. --Drieakko 15:37, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

However, another possible connection: both were historical medieval lands in the modern North Russia --Üntïflër (ә?) 15:27, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I have been reading some of the strange stuff Ghirla writes. She seems to vandalize pages and act very inflammably. She does not seem trustworthy at all.--Arzamas2 15:53, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Dvina tributary Vychegda flows from the Perm area, see [1] or [2]. --Drieakko 16:45, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

So, what about Wisu and Yugra. If nobody is oppose, I'll add them --Üntïflër (ә?) 14:10, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Proposing addition of Great Perm instead; Wisu probably was the same as Great Perm and there might have been a connection between Bjarmaland and Great Perm. So Wisu has a double-if distance and Great Perm a single-if distance from Bjarmaland :) --Drieakko 14:47, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Problems of identification

Well, what is this Problems of identification all about here? it is exactly like the header says it is Most scholars believe that the term (probably related to Permia)
The name ...Permian is found in the oldest Russian, Nestor's Chronicle (1000-1100). ^[1] even nowadays the southern branch of the people are called Komi-Permyaks.
