A Request for Comments which may be of interest to this Wikiproject is waiting for your input at Talk:Dutch people#RfC on how to define the Dutch as an ethnic group, and what to include. Fram (talk) 07:08, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps this is the wrong place to ask for this kind of help - and I know this does not directly relate to the Netherlands WikiProject, but I was hoping someone might be able to access a book locally and help me with a citation for an article. I am looking for the book Albumdossier: 1969-2002 by Johan van Slooten, a book that does not appear to be in print anymore and is not available in the United States. I wish to know the page number of the book that has information about a U2 album called Achtung Baby, specifically a page that states what the album's charting peak was. I apologize if this request is misplaced, but I figured someone from the Netherlands might be involved in this project and be able to access the book at their local library. Thanks for your understanding. Y2kcrazyjoker4 (talk) 14:07, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I used a Dutch source to confirm that what was in Wikipedia was wrong. Wikipedia was only corroborated by itself and mirror sites. Other sources which I plan to add had a different version. Only the Dutch source confirms that Wikipedia's statement is a myth.

I was advised to ask a native speaker to confirm what an online translation suggested.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 15:46, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Was the Courante published in the "Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (The Netherlands)" or in the "Dutch Republic (The Netherlands)"? See Talk:List of newspapers by establishment date#Which country? Gun Powder Ma (talk) 12:36, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The holy roman empire lost about all authority over the Netherlands in the 14th century, so a newspaper published in 1618 would fall outside of that political entity. See further comments on talk. Arnoutf (talk) 13:35, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In the article on Culemborg there is talk of violent race riots. Since I live there and am also a member of the local fire brigade (so I guess I have some insight in the matter) I think the world 'riots' implicates much and much more than actually happened. Yes, there were tensions, yes, there were fights, yes, there were cars on fire. But if it is on a scale of 3 or 4 streets and an area that can be walked through in 2 minutes I feel the term 'riot' is a gross exaggeration. Especially compared to real riots like in Miami or Paris suburbs both some years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.213.47.11 (talk) 07:34, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all. I'm a member of WP:WikiProject Opera and I have noticed that our coverage of opera in the Netherlands is rather poor. We have an articles on De Nederlandse Opera and its theatre, Stopera, which was established after World War II. However, opera was performed in Amsterdam for several hundred years before that, and there are no articles on any opera houses/theatres from before the construction of the Stopera, which only opened in 1986. Also, we could use articles on other current opera companies in other cites, like the Nationale Reisopera in Enschede, the Stichting Opera Groningen, and Opera Zuid in Maastricht. Any help would be appriciated.4meter4 (talk) 18:54, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Netherlands articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Hello,

I have never suggested an edit before, so I am not sure how one goes about that, but I saw on the link for Frikadellen that it says it was invented in 1959:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frikandel

I just stumbled onto an old "Dr. Oetker's Schulkochbuch" that has a reference to Frikandellen (I think it is the 1920 edition) on page 64. It's in parenthesis after a reference to "Dämpfschnitte."

The copy I got is missing the copyright page, but it has 144 pages, and I saw that # of pages mentioned on a Library of Congress page for the 1920 edition. The later editions, such as the ones in the 1930s had more pages.

I know this cookbook predates 1959 because the cover is in Kurrentschrift and the text is in Fraktur, which was pretty much obliterated from the German script after World War II.

Anyway, I think it was invented much earlier than the article suggests.

Cheers, Sheryl Zettner

OK, you're mixing up the Netherlands (with their frikadel, respelled in 2005 to frikandel to better reflect common pronunciation)) and Germany (with their Frikadelle). These are different things. The German variant is a flattened meatball, the Dutch variant started out as a sausage-like meatball (invented in 1954 by Gerrit de Vries; in 1959 "perfected" by giving it a smooth surface by Jan Bekkers (now Jan Beckers)).

The article on Lodewijk van den Berg says that he "was a naturalized American and no longer a Dutch citizen" at the time he went to space (1985). The accompanying reference (with a dead link) states that "according to Dutch regulations a person automatically loses the Dutch nationality if he voluntarily accepted another nationality before April 1, 2003". But can that retroactively apply to Van den Berg's 1985 flight? Had he really lost his Dutch citizenship at the time he took up American citizenship? Or did he only lose his Dutch citizenship when the current law came into force, which afaik was after the space flight? 83.84.195.88 (talk) 14:07, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the text is incomplete. He lost his citizenship based on the Dutch Nationality Act of January 1, 1985. That act was amended in 2003, to create some exceptions. [1] Whaledad (talk) 14:28, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just a question. Why isn't the article about Maarten Maartens within the scope of the WikiProject Netherlands?

Hi, I recommended this split after reading the Second Balkenende Cabinet article.

I noticed in the movies section that dutch oscar winner Michael Dudok de Wit was missing so i added him to the list. I also added animator Paul Driessen and Marten Toonder but i put him in visual arts (since he is foremost a comic creator) But i also noticed no less then four porn actresses, maybe some of them could be called famous or notable, but i had never heard of them.

I would think the goal is a balanced list with people that are relevant in their field on a global scale. Looking at it like this, the four actresses might qualify, but how do you judge this? Peter wassink (talk) 19:34, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One way to judge the notability of the subject is to see how many hits the article gets and how many other articles link to it. If they get hardly any hits and have hardly any other links, they are clearly not notable and should be deleted. Martinvl (talk) 21:22, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes, no not sometimes anymore bur quite regularly, when I want to see where the object of the article is in Google Earth I get something else instead. Just now I was looking for the "1e Parkhavenbrug, Rotterdam, Nederland" and I ended on the first Parkhaven bridge also in Rotterdam. With the Canal of Drusus, SW of Arnhem in the Netherlands, I think it is somewhere there, because I ended on the Rijndijk near Westervoort in the Netherlands. This happens to me regularly not only here but all over Wikipedia, it might be possible that the canal of Drusus is next to the Rijndijk. But a dijk is a big long stretched heap of, normally clay with sometimes a stone covert base, and a canal is the opposite, it is what is leftover if you build two parallel dikes and you dig in between, or a long narrow hole in the ground with water in it, enough for a ship to float in. So please if you create a link to the position of the object of an article, CREATE one, and not borrow one from something else in the neighbourhood. that creates only confusion, and an encyclopedia is there to create clarity and enlighten people. Please stop turning this into a quiz.

Hi, Sorry, I just realized I didn't even have this page on my watchlist. Looking at the articles, I vote to keep both.

Ahum, that said, let me remind you that this is the ENGLISH Wikipedia, and we like to take care of the poor Belgians who are one of the rare European countries without a separate Wikipedia and as I type, no Wikimedia chapter. They tend to get hammered a lot at the Dutch Wikipedia, and this looks like a prime example. Even though Stamppot was started (supposedly) at the end of the siege of Leiden, I think merging this with the Belgian dish is downright wrong.

Hello. Normally I don't add the banner of a wikiproject that I don't participate in to an article's talk page, but your scope indicates generally any article related to the Netherlands is within the scope. Bernard Loder was a justice on the country's supreme court for over a decade, represented the Netherlands at multiple maritime conferences, and served as a delegate to the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. I came across him while looking for missing article related to international law, in this case, judges in the list Judges of the Permanent Court of International Justice that did not yet have articles on the English Wikipedia. Nearly all of what you see now was taken by translating the German Wikipedia article on Loder, with changes made for grammer/meaning. Please take a look and see if you can provide any improvement.

Hi - this section at the bottom on Belgian geography and government is misleading.

Zeelandic Flanders is part of the Netherlands, not Belgium (it's geographically in Flanders, but politically in the Netherlands). So linking it to the other Dutch provinces would be more meaningful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.82.203.75 (talk) 07:20, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you are referring to the link to Zeelandic Flanders in the Template:Flanders topics, then it clearly states that it is a "Neighbouring and historical region", which is correct, so I don't see the problem. If you click on the link, it also states correctly that it is a region of the Netherlands. Are you objecting to the use of this template on that page? Or the lack of a similar Dutch template to place above it? The problem there is that the land mass does not match up with the Dutch provinces template, because Zeeland is much bigger.

I've tried to do Google Translate, but it's really bad, here's the result: "The lineage begins with the coming of Norfolk William Quarles whose son John is listed as 1524 and that was in 1570, ships of the lake copper guild in London. A direct descendant , William ( † 1688), born in England, was in the service of the VOC , settled in the Netherlands and was in 1670 ships Schieland : he was the father of the Dutch branches : a grandson , William ( 1717 - 1781 ) , was the ancestor of the branch Baronale the Quarles Quarles , another grandson , Louis ( 1719-1781 ) , was the ancestor of the untitled noble branch Quarles van Ufford .

William Quarles the Quarles (1717-1781) was on October 14, 1751 elevated to Baron des HRRijks . On September 16, 1815 elevation followed in the Dutch nobility for various descendants of William ( † 1688) , according to the first nobility list was Pieter Willem Louis Quarles the Quarles ( 1758-1826 ) granting the title of baron at all ( while on the branch Quarles van Ufford deserve only the predicate ) .

Since 1992 belongs Alexandre Quarles van Ufford (1956 ) and his descendants to the Belgian nobility , he was a son of the Dutch ambassador Bryan Quarles van Ufford ( 1920-1975 ) who was married to the Belgian jkvr. Marie - Emilie van der Linden d ' Hooghvorst ( 1918-1991 ) ."

This sounds like gibberish to me--could you PLEASE retranslate it and create the page? Thank you. Please write on my talkpage if you can help.Zigzig20s (talk) 23:44, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indirectly, this concerns also Veterans Day (Netherlands) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). -- 签名 _sig at 08:19, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Soliciting feedback and other help with the article for Pieter Bruegel the Elder's painting The Blind Leading the Blind. Any and all comments would be appreciated. I'm aiming this at FA, so feel free to split hairs. The review is here.Curly Turkey (gobble) 12:26, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuidwal_volcano states that the 'extinct' volcano Zuidwal was discovered because of temperature differences at 2km depth, namely 130 deg where 100 was expected. I did geology at college a long time ago (47 years) so I may be wrong but the inference here is that magma is causing the temperature difference. At that depth I believe this should be more correctly designated 'dormant' if that is the case.

In this case the volcano is last active in the Jurassic. So it is well and truly dormant with no magma. However temperature differences could be due to differences in heat conduction in different kinds of rocks. Perhaps the sedimentary rock is more insulating and the volcanic rock more conductive, drawing up heat from below. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:37, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

English_exonyms#Netherlands. Can someone check this please. See also article Talk. Many thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:09, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which ones in particular do need to be checked? CRwikiCA talk 14:31, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In the category "Dutch Singers-Songwriters" Ana Popovic is listed there too although she is Serbian and not Dutch. The category is not named "Dutch Bands" - if that was the case placing her there would possibly make sense since she formed a band in the Netherlands some years ago (she now lives in the US). I don't know, I just thought it's a bit odd really, any thoughts appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by VasVel (talk • contribs) 19:39, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
