WIC
Hallo meneer Hooijberg. Ik zie dat je van plan bent het Engelse artikel te verbeteren, maar ook het Nederlandse lemma heeft enige revisie nodig. Ik zou als ik jou was de tekst niet letterlijk overnemen. Daarvoor is het niet goed genoeg. Het is ñogal rommelig. Neem er een boek bij, bijv. van Den Heijer, dat ligt waarschijnlijk in iedere bibliotheek. Ik zal kijken wat ik nog kan aanpassen in de Nederlandse versie. Bovendien heb je nog J. Israel in het Engels, die zou ik zeker gebruiken als ik jouw was.Taksen (talk) 00:03, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Bedankt voor de tips! Het kwaad is al geschied :). De sectie die de geschiedenis van de WIC kwam op mij als zeer betrouwbaar over, mede vanwege de referenties. Sommige details waar ik niet duidelijk een goede onderbouwing voor zag heb ik weggelaten. De paragraaf over slavenhandel heeft helaas helemaal geen referenties, terwijl er wel heel veel materiaal beschikbaar is lijkt me. Dat stuk heb ik dus niet overgenomen.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 09:11, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
