"Dutch culture and language were also exported by whalers from abroad who hired on Dutch vessels. E.g. the North Frisian dialect Fering adopted a number of popular Dutch and West Frisian personal name forms,[18] and many loanwords from the Dutch language to Fering are still in use today. It has been observed that apart from Afrikaans, no other language outside the Netherlands proper has been influenced as much by the Dutch language as the North Frisian insular dialects." I really cannot see a role for this linguistic stub in the context of Whaling in the Netherlands. Without an additional argument, it should be left out. A statement may be true, but is it relevant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.87.242.222 (talk) 05:28, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had heard of the Joris Jofel series. It looks like it was released in the US under the title of Leo Leggins (Leo Leggins book series), but I found sources that makes it look like it was originally a Dutch series. I'll see what I can find, but I anticipate a pretty large language barrier here. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:41, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Not really- I can find where this has been published but I can't really find where there's been a lot of coverage for this series. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:20, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• On a side note, the English language covers are pretty awful. Have you seen them? If not for the titles and the one source that shows that they're the same, I'd have thought that they were a ripoff or a completely separate series. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:21, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please see discussion at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)#Two_weeks_to_save_freedom_of_panorama_in_Europe. I think it is an item of major interest to the editors interested in this WikiProject. The (very underestimated) counts for how many images may be affected have been posted to commons:Commons_talk:Freedom_of_Panorama_2015#numbers. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:12, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A new copy-paste detection bot is now in general use on English Wikipedia. Come check it out at the EranBot reporting page. This bot utilizes the Turnitin software (ithenticate), unlike User:CorenSearchBot that relies on a web search API from Yahoo. It checks individual edits rather than just new articles. Please take 15 seconds to visit the EranBot reporting page and check a few of the flagged concerns. Comments welcome regarding potential improvements. These likely copyright violations can be searched by WikiProject categories. Use "control-f" to jump to your area of interest (if such a copyvio is present).--Lucas559 (talk) 15:58, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Do all articles related to the Dutch East Indies fall within the scope of this project? Some articles to consider and which currently have a WikiProject Netherlands banner are (1) Java War (1741–43), (2) Lie Kim Hok, (3) Sierk Coolsma, (4) Pah Wongso, (5) Nugroho Notosusanto, and (6) Union Films. – Editør (talk) 23:18, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In the Government of Rotterdam article is an ambiguous link to a "Zevenhuizen"; this is one of the longest-lasting dablinks in Wikipedia; it's in a problem category of dablinks Category:Articles with links needing disambiguation from June 2011. In the article:"* 1978 won and lost territory to the municipality Capelle aan den IJssel and territory from the municipality of Zevenhuizen^{[disambiguation needed]}"

I see on the Zevenhuizen dab page there is a hamlet Zevenhuizen, Kaag en Braassem in South Holland and also there is a village Zevenhuizen, Zuidplas in South Holland, but neither of these seem to be adjacent to Rotterdam. Elsewhere in the world sometimes a city annexes non-adjacent property of a faraway water reservoir or of other key service to the city, so the Zevenhuizen meant could be one of these, perhaps? Any help would be appreciated, alsjeblieft. :) --doncram 12:42, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Aah, the joy of merging and renaming municipalities. This is about Zevenhuizen-Moerkapelle (which is the 1991 merger of Zevenhuizen with Moerkapelle). Without Dutch Wikipedia and some Googling in Dutch I would not have found it either. I will fix it on the Rotterdam page. Arnoutf (talk) 15:36, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
