Re. a previous comment while redirecting this page to Liege (province)
There is no doubt that this is the English wiki. However, the majority of the English language sources I consulted (both on the internet and in books) spell the name as Liège. D.D. 11:36 Jan 30, 2003 (UTC)
The following needs to be gotten rid of: "It is an area of French and German ethnicity"
Whilst there is indeed an historically German ethnicity within Liege (politically one could call it 'German Liege' Cf. so-called 'Walloon Brabant') there is no such thing as a 'French ethnicity' in Liege but Francophone/French-speaking Walloons, Dutch and Germans, NOT ethnic Frenchmen. Andorra is also officially listed as a Francophone nation but this does not make the folk there of 'French ethnicity'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.71.12.127 ( talk) 20:17, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
To talk of a 'German Liege' is way more historically sound than the officially cooked up "Walloon Brabant" in the 1990s. An hundrefoldtimes more should 'German Liege' bear weight over the upcooked 'Walloon Brabant'. Bytheway, is it known how the German-speaking bits within Liege province are officially and everdayly by Liege officialdom and her(?) theed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.1.69.20 ( talk) 21:17, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 19:59, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
– "Province" is used as a disambiguator, it is not part of the proper name. Articles about other Belgian provinces do not contain "Province". Marcocapelle ( talk) 10:11, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
