Talk:Benelux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Pictures
There shouldn't be two pictures with text in the middle. And three pictures is a bit much for this article. So I propose that we get rid of Benelux.png and move the satellite one to the right.
- Shouldn't this article be merged with Low Countries ? And I agree, 3 pictures is a bit much...
- No, the name Low Countries has nothing to do with the Benelux. As that article explains, it's a very vague term (partically only historic, most notably for Luxembourg), while Benelux is a the for an official union.
I've tried to add some information concerning the Benelux as an international organisation... the amount of text might now justify the use of three images, and this specific organisational point of view is also a counterargument against its merger with "the low countries".
This map (Benelux.png) isn't correct. The Netherlands doesn't look like it usually does. Here a more realistic map as a reference. It has a hunchback in the east and Zeeland (southwest corner) is missing. To Dutch people this really looks bad. Does anyone mind if I remove the img from the page? Mtcv 18:17, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
The Heel_Nederland_English.PNG file contains a weird remark on how the dutch supposivly refer to the Benelux as "the whole of Netherlands" sometimes, which is probably only true for the author of that image.
[edit] Monarchies?
Small point; Luxembourg is a grand duchy. Not sure if "monarchy" covers that or not. Teutanic 11:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yes it does cover grand duchy. never mind. Teutanic 16:39, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
Why does it say benelux is a clown college?
