Ways to improve List of municipalities in South Holland

Hi, I'm Polyglot. Luxorr, thanks for creating List of municipalities in South Holland!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This page needs to be merged with List of cities, towns and villages in South Holland

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Polyglot (talk) 21:30, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Totalbiscuit

Thanks for your cleanup of the article, but that lede is far too long now. Do you have any suggestions for how to fix that? Why did you remove the section? Willhesucceed (talk) 16:52, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

I moved the content of the section to the lede because I personally thought it was fairly general information that didn't really require a section, but if you think the lede is too long now, we can put the section back. Luxorr (talk) 12:09, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Alderman

I'm by no means an expert on Dutch politics, but in English-speaking countries "alderman" and "municipal councillor" aren't different things at all — they're simply older and newer terms for the same thing, with "alderman" having been deprecated in favour of the more gender-neutral "councillor" once it started becoming common for women to be "aldermen" too. I'm certainly willing to consider that the terms may be used differently than that in the Netherlands — but our article about alderman doesn't actually contain any content about the Netherlands at all to clarify that, and none of the articles that were in the "aldermen" tree were very clear about a potential distinction either — nearly all of them used the word "aldermen" only in the category itself, while the body text just said they served on the municipal council without ever once using the word "alderman" at all. So even if there is a different distinction between the two terms in the Netherlands than there is in Canada or the United States or the United Kingdom or Australia, the relevant articles aren't actually explaining or reliably sourcing what it is.

So that lack of information would need to be fixed, and a lot of the people's articles would also need to be much clearer about which thing they were, before we could justify having two separate category trees for them. And even if they are genuinely separate positions in the Netherlands, that's so different from the way the terms are used in English-speaking countries (not to mention probably having a lot of overlap among people who had held both roles at different times) that it would simply be confusing to most readers and would most likely be mistaken for a redundant category scheme again in the future. So even then, it might still be preferable to find some other alternate term (e.g. "Municipal politicians of X" or "Municipal officeholders of X") that can encompass both titles, so that they're still kept together in one tree instead of two separate ones. But what it ultimately comes down to, more than anything else, is that the articles themselves aren't really making a very clear distinction between the two titles — so if there really is one, then a lot of articles need to be improved to communicate it better.

Provincial results tables

Good work on these, but could you please add a source? Unsourced tables are at risk of being deleted and editors need to be able to verify the figures. Cheers, Number 5 7 12:56, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

I've not been adding sources because they're the same as those listed in the national results tables (eg this), but I can add them to the provincial results sections as well if you think that would be better. Luxorr (talk) 14:46, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Zeeland Religion: Undid revision 1081988765

On Zeeland Religion you wonder why there is a graph about the whole of the Netherlands in article about a province.

Well that's simple, because there was already (and now, due to the reversal again) an outdated graph that falsely claims to be about Zeeland, while the data is about the Netherlands as a whole. (View the source data at CBS.)

Ad Verburg (talk) 06:46, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

I did view the source data at CBS. The article used as a reference links to this table showing religious affiliation per province. The values it provides for Zeeland correspond with the ones shown in the graph on the Misplaced Pages page. Luxorr (talk) 07:01, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
