That certainly looks like a delicious stroopwafel to me :) Tim! ( talk) 18:20, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
The word stroopwafel is pure Dutch and there is no indication that it ever will be a loanword in English. User:Effeietsanders wrote: According to google, the word stroopwafel is used more often in english context as "syrup waffle". To use a Google count as an authority on the English language is seriously flawed (how many of these sites are made by Dutchmen for example?). No matter how actively it is promoted by the Dutch name, the word "syrup waffle" is the correct translation and refers to the same product, and should therefore be used, even if it is not used as often. -- P199 18:11, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Googling "how to eat stroopwafels" and clicking on "images" gets dozens of nice pictures of stroopwafels perched above hot coffee mugs. Can somebody locate a suitable rights-released picture like these, upload it, and add it to the article? Reify-tech ( talk) 14:50, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
In The Netherlands, the special Stroopwafel day is on October 15. 15 was supposed to be easy to remember because it's the number of letters in "Stroopwafelsdag". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bertin v ( talk • contribs) 12:49, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

This article was recently renamed from the given named "Stroopwafel" to "Dutch waffle" which is more of a description than a given name. I have three serious problems with the way this was done.
(1) The evidence that Dutch waffle (as name) is synonymous AND more common than stroopwafel is flimsy at best.The argumentation given was that "Dutch waffle" is the more common name (google search does not support that outright by the way [4]) Even worse, the source given to support this claim [5] explicitly names the waffle "Stroopwafel" (see the quote below and note that the Dutch waffle in the company name may refer to a range of different waffles and it does not become clear that it refers to stroopwafels).
(2) This move was done by @ Loginnigol without any attempt to even look for consensus, this together with the flimsy argumentation and evidence makes the move overly hasty.
(3) The move was done very sloppily and lazily @ Loginnigol only changed the name of the article which at not other place than the title refer to the pastry as Dutch waffle. This has created internal inconsistencies. No post move cleanup was done. Together this makes the move not a very good idea in my opinion Arnoutf ( talk) 07:43, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. Unanimous agreement. Jenks24 ( talk) 06:12, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
Dutch waffle →
Stroopwafel – Request to move back to original title, not possible without admin intervention due to double redirects.
Loginnigol moved this page from the name Stroopwafel to the current Dutch waffle on August 16 because that would be the more common name. This was done without any discussion. Furthermore, the source given by Loginnigol in the edit summary gives no evidence of Dutch waffle being the common name, in fact it support the original name (stroopwafel)
[8] . In addition, a google search on Dutch waffle also supports the original name (stroopwafel) as more common
[9]. I opened a discussion here and posted a message on Loginnigol's talk page to ask to clarify the move here. Loginnigol has not responded but has made several edits since I posted the message. Within a day after the move there have been 4 editors (including myself) that have unanimously voiced on
talk:Dutch waffle that it should be moved back to the original stroopwafel.

As of December 2015, United Airlines started serving stroopwafels on some of their flights - see http://newsroom.united.com/2015-12-09-Free-Snacks-are-Back-United-Airlines-to-Introduce-New-Signature-Snacks . This has likely introduced them to many who would not otherwise have heard of them. Is this a significant enough fact to be worth mentioning in the article, or would that be considered spam?

I looked at the Google Translate version of the Dutch Wikipedia page about Stroopwafel ( [10]), and the History section there is more extensive and differs significantly from the the current English Wikipedia version. Since the Dutch invented the snack, I would take their version of its history to be more complete. I can't evaluate the Dutch references, so I am reluctant to transcribe the Dutch version without independent verification, but I invite somebody who knows the Dutch language to consider editing the page.

Are Stroopwafels much like McGriddles by McDonald's? Should there be sources describing the similarity? Elizium23 ( talk) 17:46, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
