[edit] Removal of the devolutionary "independence movement" in Scania, Sweden

Somebody had written this:

There is an independence movement in the southern region of Scania, which was part of Denmark until 1658 and still shares linguistic and cultural features with Denmark.

It is true that Scania was part of Denmark. However, a very few Swedes have ever heard of any present day devolutionary forces from that county. There is a movement, Skånepartiet (party of Scania), which might have such point of views. However, there are no devolutionary forces of any significance to be mentioned on this page, and therefore, the phrase is removed.Mikael Häggström 06:37, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Furthermore it could be mentioned here that the above mentioned party got eleven votes in the last palamentary election (2006). --Muniswede (talk) 23:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Correction about Georgia.

Neither Abkhazia nor Abkhazian people wish to Join Russia, this is Tbilisi propaganda and must be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quirinus79 (talk • contribs) 17:35, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Samis in Norway

As far as I know there are very few Samis that want independence. By the way, I have never heard the term "Lapland" used about any area in Norway, this is as far as I know used in Finland (and Sweden). Occasionally one hears the term "Samiland" (or "Sameland" in Norwegian). If a citation cannot be found, the claim that they want independence should be removed. By the way, what does one mean if one says that they want independence? That would have to come from the "Sameting" (Sami parliament). If just some random person says they want independence, you cannot say that the Sami people as a group want it. It must come from some representative organ! --Oddeivind (talk) 21:22, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Secessionist and devolutionary pressures, Russia

The article about Russia ends abruptly with: This enclave is separated from the main Russian state by EU member states, which has led to......? Could someone correct this please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.154.197.218 (talk) 06:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
