Please can you add to the Ruttumroog page giving aditional info as to where the island actually is! i.e. in what sea, nr where, etc. A page on the island group as a whole would also be good. Thanks!--Tappyea 11:27, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Seconded :-) See my small addition to Rottumerplaat, that'd do to give context for any non-dutch reader. It's also a good idea to add {{msg:stub}} to mark the article as being quite short and in need of expansion. And it's also a good idea to check the dutch wikipedia, they probably have articles about those islands already - at least to add the interwiki link, or maybe to find more information (provided you can read dutch of course).

But anyway - Welcome. andy 11:43, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Amsterdam

Hi, I have just substantially edited Amsterdam. If you agree with changes, I hope you will help me prevent it from reverting to its previous state. Wikipedia is not a dumpster. Dankjewel. -- Viajero 17:54, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Link spamming

Hi, I notice you are very dilligent about removing spam links from articles like Amsterdam and I have a suggestion for you. There are a series of messages templates {{spam}}, {{spam1}}, {{spam2}}, which you can leave on the talk pages of people who do this. If after the third warning, they still do it, leave me a message on my talk page and I will block them. Of course, if they using dialup connections, the IP number may be different each time, so this won't work. But in the case of the guy adding the HotSpots site to Amsterdam, for example, he has a fixed IP (I left {spam1} on his talk page yesterday). For more about these template messages, see: Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace. doiei, -- Viajero 14:16, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

William of Orange

William of Orange (disabiguation) exists because William the Silent was judged to be by far the most common use of the title - that is, the largest number of links will be correct if you redirect William of Orange to William I of Orange-Nassau. What you have done is break a lot of links without fixing them to redirect them to the correct target. See "What links here" on William of Orange. If this is a change you think is necessary - which links to William of Orange do not refer to William I? - then you should fix all those links and it would be great if you could fix the new ones every few months. I change about 60 links to corn every year. Rmhermen 17:03, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

Please follow the page [1]. I believe it should be redirected to William of Orange (disambiguation) at least until a consensus is reached whether to move/change it. I could use help in watching it (and defending the mentioned principle). Arrigo 20:46, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image removed from online banking article

Hi. I noticed you removed the image of an online banking screenshot from the online banking article with the mention "rm image: no advertizing" (sic). How is that image a form of advertising? Some articles display brands, such as the image of a cancelled cheque on the cheque article. -- AirOdyssey 02:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AirOdessey. I removed the pic because the name of the bank was clearly visible. If you read the 'history page' of the online banking article you will see that I remove every mention of bank names and bank products. It is not necessary to be so specific and it relieves us from the hassle to explain why we show a picture from one bank and not from an other. Feel free though to edit out the name of the bank from the picture and add it again to the page. Chardon 06:08, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Modern Stadium

Hi Chardon, You deleted the adjective of "modern" for the Amsterdam ArenA. I believe however that it's notable to add that the stadium is newly build, or "modern". Maybe there's a better word for it, but I don't believe modern is suggesting anything else than it is. JacobH (talk) 12:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jacob, The Arena was build 10 years ago so it's not new. In architecture the term modern refers to a particular style (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_architecture). I didn't know a better word to describe the Arena so I just deleted 'modern' because it is not a modern building. Perhaps 'latest' (Ajax's latest stadium the A. Arena... ) is possible but it doesn't really add anything. Chardon (talk) 17:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Amsterdam Link zzzzZZZZ

Hi Chardon. Could you stop deleting the perfectly valid link to www.underwateramsterdam.com in the External Links section of the Amsterdam page. Your doing so is getting extremely boring. It is NOT spam. That is actually very obvious to anyone with a modicum of intelligence. Wikiamsterdam (talk) 14:31, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
