Mika Aaltola
A lot is being made of Mika Aaltola gaining media attention during the Russia and Ukraine war. It would be good if someone could put in his section of this Wiki page his thoughts and opinions on the war and what he's said he will do about it if he becomes president of Finland. 31.94.62.250 (talk) 17:48, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Eligible candidates
As per today the article is incorrect. Ten candidates, including Paavo Päyrynen have applied to candidate. However, the application of Mr. Päyrynen is not complete, as too few "cards" have been forwarded, but he may add such information until December 20. Thus, he is formally not out of the race.

He hasn't fulfilled the conditions of candidacy, so as of right now, he is out of the race. In the unlikely situation that this will change, the article may be changed accordingly. Jah77 (talk) 19:54, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
inconsistent party names
The infobox is incredibly inconsistent with naming. On one hand, the majority of the parties are in English, but then the Greens are called "VIHR", a short-hand for it in Finnish. Additionally, Liike Nyt/Movement Now is just "Liik". Why? It should be consistent.
Personally, I'd change VIHR to Greens, and Liik to either their full name, Liike Nyt, or its English translation, Movement Now. What do you guys think? Starredlabrador (talk) 22:51, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
An English language article should use whatever the common name is in English, which may not be the English translation. We don't call Likud "Consolidation" or Forza Italia "Forward Italy". Party names are stored in the political party modules, so the Green League one would be in Module:Political party/G. Cheers, Number5715:59, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Vihreät isn't really the common name though, people just call them the Greens. At the very least, I think Liike Nyt should be written with it's complete name as it just looks weird Starredlabrador (talk) 20:10, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
