Huhǃ This subject is really fire and gasolineǃ All links from Wikipedia have been reverted. We have Finnish and Swedish Bothnia, Finnish and Swedish Lapland plus Finnish and Russian Carelia, but it's no problem.--Risto hot sir (talk) 19:50, 31 January 2019 (UTC) - Have you noticed this? w:Wikipedia talk:External links--Risto hot sir (talk) 22:05, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm confused as to what's going on. What exactly is going on here? – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs) 22:07, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

It's peaceful here - but not at Wikipedia. Just check the link aboveǃ--Risto hot sir (talk) 22:39, 31 January 2019 (UTC) - Hiǃ The link at Wikipedia was reverted again. Why is this the only language that hasn't a link?--Risto hot sir (talk) 19:57, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

@Risto hot sir: Alrightey, then. I'll go head on over there and check it out. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs) 04:10, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

@Risto hot sir: Okay, after some brief digging, I think I'm starting to see what's going on here. From the looks of it, it seems that they removed the links because the Wikiquote pages in question that they link to have mostly quotes of low quality. Which, I can see their point, as to be honest, they kinda are, since most of the quotes seem to have been compiled by Greek ultra-nationalists with a POV to push from what I could gather, with many other such quotes being un-notable (e.g. un-notable and/or from un-notable nobodies). The best thing to do would be to clean up the page, removing un-notable quotes and such and/or adding good notable ones in their place. Maybe that will change their minds over on English Wikipedia.
