Philippe Van Dievoet
Sounds interesting. Do you have any references to him in reliable sources? --Dweller (talk) 10:56, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

See the bibliography! Also the article of the French Wikipedia is more complete.


 * That'll do nicely! Good work. --Dweller (talk) 11:10, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Belgian names
Hi! May I ask you why you prefer to start e.g. the article Germaine van Dievoet without a capital letter in "Van"? I thought that Belgian names usually are written in capital letters, also all the sources you have listed show her name with a capitalized "Van". Thanks in advance and kind regards Doma-w (talk) 10:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Many thanks for your answer! Germaine was only an examle for the articles you have created. I think it would be better to capitalized the "Van" in all four articles for Peter, Philippe, Henri, and Germaine. They are all Belgians and when it is usual in Belgium to write the name with a capital "V" I think we had to reflect this? "Anthony van Dyck" is not a good example as there is already a footnote explaining that there are many variant spellings of his name, so I think here is an "international spelling" to prefer? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 13:13, 13 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Why are you trying to find other incorrect spellings? Again Van Helsing is not a good example, because this is a fictional character and not a Dutch person... Are you not interested to report the right spelling of the artilces you have created?? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 16:05, 13 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I was just thinking about you. :) Oh no, there is no reason to apologize! I only tried to help you. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 11:35, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Please don't create articles by copying articles from this website. As you stated yourself, this is a bad automatically translated version of a French WP article. The article barely makes sense! By all means, create an article based upon the fr.wikipedia article, but create something which is intelligible English! Cheers, – Toon (talk)  21:00, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
