"Het is een Nacht"
You seem to be almost the sole editor of Het is een Nacht. Quite a lot of the material in the article is lacking reliable sources. Most importantly, I was really tempted to remove the unsourced world sales figure. Could you please either supply a source, or remove the unsourced information? Best regards. --Muhandes (talk) 07:11, 26 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I added some sources from Dutch sites (I couldn't find English ones). I hope it is better now. I got some information from the Dutch Wikipedia. Do I have to mention that somewhere in the page Het is een Nacht? Best regards, vandijk6.


 * Per WP:NOENG, "English-language sources are preferred over non-English ones, assuming English sources of equal quality and relevance are available" but if there are no English ones, you can use non-English sources. The guideline also says what you need to include in that case (probably nothing in this case, it seems like a clear cut fact). I'm going to assume that the sources indeed verify the facts - that Meeuwis wrote the song after a romantic weekend with his girlfriend Valérie Gregoire, and that it sold 250,000 copies.
 * If you took information from the Dutch Wikipedia, it really depends on whether you translated the Dutch Wikipedia article, or wrote your own article and just used it as a reference/check list. For the former case, attribution is required. You can read all about it here, but basically it is quite simply adding Translated page to the talk page. I hope this helps. --Muhandes (talk) 19:07, 26 September 2011 (UTC)


 * The Dutch sources did verify the facts, but I found an English one as well. The English one is almost the same as the Dutch one, but if English sources are preferred over non-English ones, this is better. I also added Translated page to the talk page. I think the article has improved. - Vandijk6 (talk) 19:32, 28 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree, I think it's a nice little article. It's a bit of a shame you didn't push it to Did You Know, I'm pretty sure it would have made it. If you are interested, next time, let me know and I'll help if I can. Best regards.--Muhandes (talk) 21:12, 1 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't know what Did You Know was. Maybe it's an idea to push my new article "Strings 'n' Stripes" to DYK ? -Vandijk6 (talk) 08:47, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * It needs to be at least 1500 characters, outside tables, infoboxes etc. It now has... 150 chars. It also needs a catchy sentence, which I don't see how to do on this one. And it needs to be nominated no more than 5 days from the creation. --Muhandes (talk) 20:32, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Gers Pardoel
Hoi VanDijk. Ik zag je bijdrage Gers Pardoel op de Engelse Wikipedia - goed werk! Zou je wellicht die informatie willen vertalen naar de Nederlandse Wiki? Jou versie ziet er toch een stukje mooier uit dan de huidige Nederlandse versie. Groetjes, Grashoofd (talk) 13:02, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Hoi Grashoofd. Bedankt voor je compliment ;) Ik geef je gelijk dat de versie op de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia er nu niet heel mooi uit ziet, al denk ik dat mijn Engelse versie ook nog niet helemaal perfect is. Ik zal zeker kijken wat ik kan doen! Groetjes, Vandijk6 (talk) 13:30, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Ik heb mijn best gedaan. Zou je even kunnen kijken wat je ervan vindt en of je nog op- of aanmerkingen hebt? Alleen de bronnen hebben ik nog niet toegevoegd. Die staan al wel op de Engelse pagina. Moeten die dan ook nog op de Nederlandse worden geplaatst? Fijn weekend nog :) Vandijk6 (talk) 19:08, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Ahh, geweldig! Dat ziet er een stuk beter uit. De bronnen moeten er nog wel eventjes bij, dat klopt, maar dat zal ik later nog wel eventjes doen, of dit mag je zelf doen als je tijd hebt. Het artikel heeft nog wel even een poets nodig bij de discografie, maar daar ben ik momenteel mee bezig. Nogmaals, dank! Groet, Grashoofd (talk) 00:43, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 12
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jan Smit discography, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Dutch and German (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

About Jan Smit discography
I see that you created this article. But usually discography pages are only created when a majority of the artist's albums and/or singles have their own articles. If you want to avoid someone nominating this for deletion (or merging to Jan Smit), it would be best if you started by creating some album articles (with refs to reliable sources establishing their notability of course).

Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.
