List of municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region
I believe the list meets the requirements. Thank you! Malinaccier (talk) 23:12, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * "the lowest number in any region" any region of what? Belgium I presume.  Clarify it.
 * ✅ clarified.
 * Is there a list of regions of Belgium you can link to?
 * ✅ linked.
 * Ought "local level" be hyphenated?
 * No. this is one example.
 * I know it's the subject of the list but you have Municipalit(y/ies) mentioned nine times in the two (short) paras in the lead, which results in it reading really poorly.
 * ✅I've rephrased them and reduced the number.
 * "19 provinces in the " so province = municipality?
 * ✅ Province!=municipality. Now fixed.
 * "remained untouched " what do you mean by this?
 * ✅ explained
 * The last sentence of the lead is a monster (56 words, 4 x municipalities) - it needs considerable work.
 * ✅ Split into two sentences. Should be better now.
 * Interestingly, the City of Brussels article says its French name can be Bruxelles-Ville.
 * ✅ It makes more sense (having a slight knowledge of the French Language) for the name to be Bruxelles-Ville in the list, so I have changed it.
 * "The English and German names for the City of Brussels are also given." well, the English version is "City of Brussels", and what relevance does the German name have here?
 * Consider right-aligning the columns with numbers in - this would line up the decimal places, commas etc.
 * ✅ Done.
 * Why is the (s) of Post code(s) on a separate line?
 * ✅ fixed.
 * Can you clarify where you reference the population and area of each municipality? They do not correlate with the density values.
 * I took the population and areas from the individual municipality articles, but they do not check out. After some digging on google, I found this site in French, and I can get the population data from there and calculate new density numbers on my own. (I'm assuming that the populations were different on the individual articles than what was used in the statistics from the other site, and that the areas are correct.)
 * Can you put a date on when the values for population/area/density were derived (e.g. Census date or whatever)?
 * There's a date on the new site I mentioned above, and I can put this in the article.

 * Brussels-Capital Region -- both links point to Brussels, and per WP:OVERLINK, two words next to each other shouldn't be linked. I'd prefer simply Brussels-Capital Region which redirects to Brussels
 * Which country is Brussels in?
 * ✅ it was already in the first sentence of the lead that Brussels is in Belgium.
 * "the lowest number in any region." of the world? Because you haven't mentioned Belgium, it's not clear.
 * ✅ clarified.
 * Another paragraph in the Lede about the features of the municipalities would be good. Which is the largest, and which is the smallest in terms of area? Population?
 * ✅ Added.
 * "Brussels-Capital Region" vs "Brussels-Capital region" -- be consistent
 * ✅ only one inconsistency
 * to help the Americans, use convert in the Area column
 * Once I get correct numbers I can do this.
 * "The English and German names for the City of Brussels are also given." I must have missed it, then
 * It uses ref label and note label in the Ville-Bruxelles row.
 * Your reflabels don't click
 * All check out fine for me. Which ones?
 * The [a]s next to Bruxelles-Ville and Stad Brussel, and then the not label that coincides with it. Matthew Edwards (talk • contribs • email) 20:50, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Still works fine with me. Something that has to do with your browser?
 * Can you upload a new version of the map that isn't shaded in blue? It's making the numbers practically invisible

Comments:
 * per Edwards: Which country is Brussels in?
 * The lead image is irrelevant with the subject of the list. A map or a skyline of Brussels woul dbe more appropriate. Eklipse (talk) 16:01, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Removed, will look for another image.

 * No bold links please.
 * ✅ removed.
 * Caption/frame etc for the image.
 * Captions cannot be added to images using Image label begin


 * Article begins "twelve", list contains nineteen? --Golbez (talk) 09:00, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
