Talk:Sack of Louvain

Germans believed they had been attacked
These two sentences, with events out of logical (cause-effect) and chronological order, give the impression the massacre was completely unprovoked.

I want to reorder them in logical order:

where were the officers?
The words "officer" and "order" do not appear in the article. Were the soldiers acting on their own or under orders from commanders? The article makes the soldiers sound like an undisciplined mob. This is unlikely, given the German Army's success in battle. Ttulinsky (talk) 00:08, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Summary Execution of Mayor and Rector
The Mayor of Leuven and Rector of the University were not summarily executed as stated before. Leo Colins was Mayor until 1921 (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Colins) and Paulin Ladeuze was Rector until 1940 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulin_Ladeuze). Brbom (talk) 13:22, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Replace Louvain with Leuven
The city of Leuven is a Dutch speaking city in Belgium. Referring to it as Louvain, the French name, undermines Dutch as a language in Belgium. When referring to the Francophone Université Catholique de Louvain, it does make sense to use Louvain. 2A02:1810:B40F:CF00:C4C9:F276:A4FD:51F5 (talk) 19:25, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
