Wikipedia:WikiProject Belgium

Welcome to WikiProject Belgium! This group hopes to
 * improve articles related to Belgium.
 * create missing articles on various fields (history, geography, culture, music, people, organisations, etc.
 * If this project gains sufficient critical mass, the talk page could be an efficient way of contacting other Belgians (e.g. for local meetings).

The central place to talk about this project is this page's discussion page.

The parent of this project is WikiProject Countries.

We are always looking for interested members!
