Further comment
I wikified this whole block of information. I think some of it is notable enough to be readd to the article. -- Mdd (talk) 09:37, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Work section renewed
The new text in the worksection here added by User:Marcel Wanders seems to be partly copy/pasted the Marcel Wanders biography at marcelwanders.nl, and parts (such as Many of Marcel Wanders' designs have been selected...) originate from an earlier text. When we assume, that User:Marcel Wanders is Marcel Wanders, who owns the copyright on marcelwanders.nl, then there is no copyvio but a self-citation and references to the original source(s) should be added. Even better the text should be rewritten or even just removed.

It should be noted that a similar user (User:Marcelwanders) made edits in the past (see here, which I then removed, see above discussion item. -- Mdd (talk) 16:34, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
