He Styath, ik zag dat je weer goed bezig wat met het ID-kaart stukje (ik heb er voor het eerst van leren citeren via "cite web"). Het begint behoorlijk gedegen te worden lijkt me zo langzamerhand. Even kort een 2 dingen in je recente wijzigingen anders gaan ze misschien weer een paar keer op en neer...

Mijn voorstel is steeds hoewel, maar ik kan ook met wat anders leven, als het maar uitsluitend mening 1 kan weergeven (misschien which countries are also part of).

Just to say thanks for fixing the spelling of IJselmeer in Bombing of Enkhuizen - I mistakenly "corrected" it because I hadn't come across the IJ digraph before. I'll know in future! Gonzonoir ( talk) 14:12, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Please don't make things inaccurate in a quest for consistency. Papiamentu is spoken on Bonaire, not Papiamento. The Dutch language doesn't make a distinction between the two, referring to them both as "Papiaments". The orthography is quite different, and the pronunciation is somewhat different.— Kww( talk) 19:32, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
I can't see the ISO document you cite. What does it say that would lead you to believe that a Dutch island uses an English spelling for its name?— Kww( talk) 20:08, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

I am unsure of where those sources are getting their information about Jan. I saw Jan 4 days out of the week and had a professional relationship with him, as he was our Director of Training for the Spindletop Select Soccer Club. I appreciate your concern about sharing only the truth about our beloved friend. Additionally, he is survived by his wife, who resides in Dallas, TX, and his son, however, I am unable to confirm, though I believe he resides in Dallas as well. Tomorrow, we will be hosting a memorial for him and his family. The funeral home that is handling his memorial is Broussards and they are located in Beaumont, TX. They have a website and have pending information on his services. Jan was loved dearly by all the girls whom he coached and mentored. They are simply devastated by his passing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Humanradio ( talk • contribs) 23:07, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Well, most of my information began from research on what places use dst, and what places don't, I found this map [1] very helpful for that part, Then I researched on standard times world wide [2], however this map was only so helpful, it had all of russia listed entirely wrong, as they are on daylight savings time year round, thus listed as not changing times on the map of who uses dst or not. So I realized to make a good draft for my map, I had to research country by country, and find its various time zones, using help from several websites [3] [4] [5], once I tackled the big countries, it got easier, all of africa except nambia and morocco used standard time and that is were map two was extreemly helpful. I had made many mistakes, and had to redo the map three times, before having an almost perfect map, published, and made only subtle changes from then on. I'm not sure if I have answered the big question, I am going to re-research, and try to track down more of the the sources I used, just give me some time. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 23:01, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
Thank You, I hadn't noticed that, your right, I have the western aleutians on the far right of the map correct, but the eastern aleutions closer to alaska mislabled, good eye, i'm in the proccess of fixing my map anyway, belarus is now on permanent DST, Ukraine might stop it all together. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 17:43, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

He Thayts (interessante naam zo)! Vraagje: in de infoboxen van de bijz. gemeenten viel me plotseling op dat er een hoofdstad stond (stond er vast altijd al, maar het viel me nu op met je wijzigingen...). Ik heb het idee dat dat niet zo is en zou niet weten waar het op gebaseerd is (aan de andere kant: misschien is er ook wel geen juridisch basis voor een provinciehoofdstad). Wat denk jij? L.tak ( talk) 12:26, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello Thayts!
Thanks for your message! I'm not really sure what I am refering to in my edit: I'm having a bit of a hard time remembering all the way back to March of 2011. I may have been refering to this edit or maybe a discussion on a different talk page, I can't be sure. You said, "Legally, the countries of Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten have the same status as the country of the Netherlands..." this is correct. But we need to be careful; which Netherlands are we refering to? The Kingdom of the Netherlands or the country of the Netherlands, they are not the same. So when you go on to say, "...but on the other hand those three Caribbean countries are still dependent on the Netherlands (regarding defense for example)." this becomes problematic because I am not sure which you refer to. The two terms are not equivilent. Even though the 4 countries are equal within the kingdom, one (the Netherlands) dominates the rest - but that does not alter the countries equal standing. Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten look only to the kingdom, legally, in matters of foreign affairs and defense, not the country of the Netherlands. So are they dependencies? Its certainly debate worthy, though I think not. They have equal standing, rather than a colony or a protectorate, so I don't beleive they are dependancies. I've been through this discussion a few times, especially in relation to the constituent countries of the UK and sometimes Denmark's unique policy of "Rigsfælleskabet".
I'm very interested to hear what you think about this, its an often overlooked topic.

What do you think of merging Dutch Caribbean and Caribbean Netherlands into each other? They seem to be duplicating quite a bit. Outback the koala ( talk) 03:13, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi Thayts, please stop deleting my contributions in the "See also" section in Netherlands-related articles. The "See also" genenrally adds extra infomation to the article. For example, someone just read the article European Netherlands may want to know something about the Caribbean Netherlands, despite the Caribbean Netherlands itself being a completely different region. The links I have added in the "See also" section are important articles concerning the Netherlands, thus worth adding.
Happy editing. 110.5.117.243 ( talk) 09:59, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
