To do edit
- Presently No. 15 (Grachtengordel) points to Grachtengordel (Amsterdam) rather than a translation of the Dutch Wiki article Grachtengordel. I'll provide a translation over the next few days but if anyone would like to contribute an expanded translation let me know and I'll defer. FightingMac (talk) 23:47, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
- In the Dutch article, the description of No. 39 (Anne Frank) points to Jodenvervolging ("Persecution of the Jews") which has a Netherlands emphasis and for which presently there isn't an English equivalent. I've pointed instead to the Holocaust section of the article on the History of Jews in the Netherlands. I'll looks at the Jodenvervolging article in more detail later and if it is more comprehensive than that can be found presently in the English Wiki I'll translate it.

- In the Dutch article, in the section 'Members of the committee', Frans Groot is given as a teacher of History at the Rotterdam Hogeschool, but I find him presently at the Amsterdam Hogeschool and I've entered that. Perhaps someone can confirm or correct. FightingMac (talk) 18:16, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
- In the Dutch article No. 48 (Veelkleurig Nederland) points to Veelkleurig Nederland which treats social integration in the Netherlands and presently doesn't have any good English Wiki equivalent. I've left it as an inter-language link for the time being while I translate the article. I also propose leaving Veelkleurig Nederland in the Dutch. FightingMac (talk) 20:55, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
- I've removed the link from Veelkleurig Nederland as it's too poor to cite and I shan't translate it, at least in its present condition. English Social integration is also poor. Odd that there aren't good articles for this fundamental issue. Out of my competence to improve. Let me know if the Dutch article gets improved and I'll consider translating.FightingMac (talk) 21:57, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
- I've now linked Veelkleurig Nederland to Immigration. I would have much preferred linking to Social integration but the article is simply too reflective in character and lacks citations to offer as a good source. FightingMac (talk) 04:07, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
