Correction: Leiden does not have a house of correction. Perhaps a building formerly used as such? Can someone confirm this either way? Prater 15:18, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
The article says Leiden slumped in the 17th century. Later it says the Marekerk was built in 1650 for 'the GROWING town'. Which is true? (I think the first).
shouldn't the 'official leiden portal' be www.leiden.nl rather than the obscure boogolinks?

Is the RGL the first lightrail in the Netherlands? It might have been the first one planned but it is certainly not the first one realized, certainly no the the moment Leiden is included in it.

I think it is worth to mention that it is a motte & bailey citadel. More or less intact motte & bailey castles are quite rare in the Netherlands. Darth Viller ( talk) 20:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Maybe this article could substantiate on the issuing of paper coins which were apparently made from Catholic bibles during the siege of Leiden in 1574. It's difficult to get more than a smidgin of information about this event, but 14,000 people died in this siege according to Banknote. More information would be excellent. Thanks. 86.42.115.6 ( talk) 16:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Under Other buildings: Another building of interest is the "pesthuis", which was built at that time [sic] - What time period is this?. The section would benefit from a cleanup edit; I hesitate to undertake it without having more and clearer content. -- Deborahjay ( talk) 21:04, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Under famous inhabitants also a certain Albert Einstein, (1879–1955, physicist) is mentioned. Still there's nothing about living in this town in the article about the person mentioned. Maybe he stayed there for a few weeks or months, but that doesn't really make somebody to a former inhabitant. (Or is John Lennon, who once stayed for a week in an Amsterdam Hilton bed, a former inhabitant of that town?) Anyway, citations, giving more information about this subject, certainly are demanded.-- VKing ( talk) 00:43, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
Not sure why the name of Siebold listed on this page doesn't match that on his wikipedia page; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philipp_Franz_von_Siebold It didn't work so I just updated the weblink, but not the hypertext of his name —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.146.141.176 ( talk) 15:54, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
This is the English language wiki. Why isn't the English name of the town used? Rome is found under Rome, not Roma. Lisbon is found under Lisbon, not Lisboa. Why isn't Leyden found under its anglicised name? Jatrius ( talk) 10:05, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
OK I give up. Why is it so important to have extra unneeded space in the cat citation? Kendall-K1 ( talk) 18:15, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Jan Goedeljee (1824-1905) was a Dutch photographer working in his hometown Leiden and its surroundings. Erfgoed Leiden en Omstreken, the Leiden municipal archive, holds a large collection of his glass negatives, which have been digitised and made available for re-use on Wikimedia Commons. The collection includes photos of many well-known places in Leiden, such as the Academy Building and the Hortus Botanicus, and of buildings that have since disappeared, such as the old post office, several city-gates and the old railway station. The upload was done by Erik Zachte, using Pattypan and a custom script for the conversion of the metadata. Access the collection here. Regards, -- AWossink ( talk) 13:27, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

In the Miscellany section, the cryptic verse on the façade of the town hall contains the line: aLst god den heer Verdroot. The translation from the 1925 guide book cited has "Then God the Lord repented." In Reformed 16th-century Leiden, God was probably disinclined to change course in response to circumstances He had Himself ordained (implied by "repented"). But (who knows?) He might have been "sad". The better translation of verdroot is "was sad". Unless there is contrary consensus, I propose to change "repented" to "was sad", the anonymous guide-book translation notwithstanding. ::: Frans Fowler ( talk) 12:22, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
If the Nederlands verse/quote is indeed from Exodus 32:12–14, then the correct translation may be "repent," as you can see in this specific English translation. In this case the meaning seems to be that he changed his mind and decided not to exterminate the people he had previously "chosen." What do you think? Hope this helps. Thank you, warshy (¥¥) 16:30, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
