Translation[edit]

I've translated this article from the Finnish article of the same name, but I couldn't figure out where to put this seeminly irrelevant paragraph in the translated article:

On March 25, 1952, Tapio Rautavaara drove Arvo Alanne’s car into a mail truck in Ruotsalonkylä in Kälviä due to slippery conditions. Miss Aura Alanne suffered a concussion and radio commentator Niilo Tarvajärvi escaped with scratched, but Rautavaara’s guitar was completely destroyed.^[1]

If someone can figure out a good place to stick it in the article, please do by all means. -Yupik 18:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Duchy of Finland[edit]

Just to clarify, shouldn't it say that Rautavaara was born in Grand Duchy of Finland, since Finland didn't gain independence from Russia until 1917? Suden13 (talk) 17:47, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

tapiorautavaara.net[edit]

tapiorautavaara.net is no longer a dead link. It's now a thinly veiled advertisement site for an online casino, which has nothing to do with Tapio Rautavaara. Should the link be removed from the article? JIP | Talk 15:29, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
