[edit] Money in modern units?
How much is 50 crowns in modern currency? RJFJR 18:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Tortures
The description in the article of tortures and method of execution look like a bad 'fairy tale'. Could one provide a historically reliable source for all this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.131.127.26 (talk) 17:36, 12 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] What's left to cleanup?
It's been on cleanup for about a year. What's left that needs to be done? RJFJR 18:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
Looks tolerable to me. I'll pull the tag.

This page, while relatively informative, desperately needs to be proofread. In addition there are numerous paragraphs that mention events without explaining what the events were (Such as in the first paragraph).
That and the English is still in a pretty poor state; proofreading remains required. Arnoutf 11:41, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rem POV
I removed some pov wording that pictured Gerardts as a kind of hero and especially his tortures as brutes. The torture (horrific as it must have been) seems fairly standard for those days. After all, according to the Dutch this guy had just killed their freedom fight leader (compare with an assasination of George Washington or similar); thus in Dutch pov the villain (Gerardts) received what was his due. (of course this should also not be the pov of the article). Arnoutf 18:36, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
