The section on "The Groenendijk" first refers to "northern Holland", then "Holland", then "South Holland", then "Holland" again. Which is correct?
I changed the section and gave it a more "appealing" title. Nobody is interested in the Groenendijk. The heading "A disaster prevented" is more interesting. I also cleared the list with inundations, trying to make it more understandable for non-Dutch readers (Allthough I doubt if all Dutch people will know were the mentioned villages and towns are).Blue Henk 17:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Is it me, or this article is UK-biased? I'm not English nor Dutch... After reading the article I understand that the flood was more important in the Netherlands in every aspect, but the facts concerning the Netherlands are presented always after those concerning the UK.
Well, indeed, there exists a List of natural disasters in the United Kingdom but not a List of natural disasters in the Netherlands nor List of natural disasters by country. The same can be said about List of United Kingdom disasters by death toll and List of Netherlands disasters by death toll... --euyyn 23:38, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
I'd agree, but only because this is the English language Wikipedia. I haven't checked, but I'd guess the reverse is true of the Dutch language version of this article. 81.77.17.131 19:28, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
