You wrote: "Tourism is an important part of the economy of Wallonia. [1]". It is unclear what this means. Is this for the French Community? Does the 9.8 figure include the 2.8 in Brussels? And does the 6% include Brussels or just Wallonia? Oreo Priest talk 07:19, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
References
There is no dish identified with the Belgian nation as a whole. <ref>Culinary cultures of Europe: identity, diversity and dialogue, p. 79</ref> For me this citation is relevant. Mussels may not be identified with Belgium as a whole. Even beer, you have many kinds of beer and many countries where beers do exist. That depends on the product, of the kinfd of beer. For instance ORVAL and its taste depends of the water in the Gaume, and that is impossible to find this tatste in Flanders. What is more, Orval is a beer which is very different of all the other beers. I drink a glass of Orval each day but that is very different from the other beers. I have an argument for that. Do ypu Know "La première gorgée de bière" of Philippe Delerm? He said that only the first "gorgée" is great. That is not the case for Orval. People define ORval as a beer of whicht the taste doesn't cease to be a surprise. I recognize that the discussions about cuisne are al ittle difficult and often a little absurd. But.... But the Orval's definition is the good, very pertinent.
(Dear Oreo it is also a way to say you Good after-noon and to wish you an happy niew year...)

Both articles deal with the same subject. There is no difference between the Walloon Region and Wallonia like there is not difference between Belgium and the Kingdom of Belgium. Both articles should be merged together.-- Wester ( talk) 14:36, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Since we agree on merging the two pages, and nobody else voiced his opposition meanwhile, I redirected Walloon Region (federal region) to Wallonia and will make some improvements to the latter article. SPQRobin ( talk) 21:44, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
Contrary to the situation in Flanders, the Walloon Region was not merged with the French Community of Belgium, a political level responsible for matters related mainly to culture and education.
The only vague hint at an answer that I can find in the article is the short sentence at the end of the History section beginning "This led to State reform in Belgium..." Clicking any of the links in the lead or the article proper doesn't help, because the linked articles are even more confusing than this one. Possibly what that sentence is trying to say is that the Walloon Region is not coterminous with the French Community, in the way that the Flemish region is coterminous with the Flemish Community; I don't know. It needs to be either fixed or deleted. Scolaire ( talk) 12:33, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

I don't understand why Wallonia is the symbolism for the Indian blanket flower. Also known as Gaillardia. Can anyone help me out? 174.247.224.238 ( talk) 04:47, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
