Markajarvi[edit]

@Adakiko: It is obvious that TODAY'S Salla village is the one that was formerly called Markajarvi. It is situated next to Markajarvi lake and has a Markajarvi street. The source says exactly that. The article says that the Salla name and the municipality seat was relocated following the war, but doesn't say the old name of today's Salla village. See also here: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A4%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BB:Salla_Phase1.png

Your edit to the artice: "The Salla name and the municipatity centre were transferred to the Markajarvi village.^[1]" That appears to be the reverse what you stated here. Are you saying that Salla was renamed Markajarvi or the other way around? On fi:Salla it says that some homeless from Salla were relocated to Markajarvi. It states that the municipality was renamed Salla in 1938, but not that it was formally Markajarvi. trip-suggest.com is not a wp:reliable source.

@Adakiko: The main village is what I'm talking about. In 1938 Kuolajarvi village was renamed Salla village but the Russians later took it and renamed back to Kuolajarvi. So the Finns needed a new municipality seat. They decided on Markajarvi village and renamed it Salla village (being the second village to ever bear the name "Salla village"). Today's Salla village and Markajarvi village are actually the SAME village, not even adjecent.

@Adakiko: Google Translate translates this from Finnish Wikipedia: "Kodittomaksi jäänyt osa sallalaisista asutettiin toimintaansa jatkaneen kunnan alueelle, jossa Märkäjärven kylästä tehtiin uusi kirkonkylä ja kuntakeskus. Sellaiseksi harkittiin myös Kursua, jota saksalaiset eivät olleet polttaneet, mutta Märkäjärven katsottiin sijaitsevan keskemmällä kuntaa.[21]" as "where the village of Märkäjärvi was turned into a new church village and municipal center. Kursu, which had not been burned by the Germans, was also considered as such, but Märkäjärvi was considered to be located in the center of the municipality.[21]". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.144.245.25 (talk • contribs) 09:46, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That seems rather vague. It could mean multiple things. Municple center of what? The Märkäjärven village or Salla? Seems close to SYNTH to me. I'm not going to argue about it. I'll leave it to you. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 10:10, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Adakiko: Municipal center of Salla municipality, of course. Märkäjärvi village and today's Salla village are the SAME thing. Can I reinstate it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.144.245.25 (talk • contribs) 12:09, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please remember to sign. As I said, that isn't clearly stated. wp:SYNTH? A wp:RS would be nice. Up to you. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 19:45, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
