Category[edit]

Why is this article in the category Dutch Culture? Its nothing but a rap song. Adding 'alle duiven op de dam' would make more sense.

Producer[edit]

Can anybody find the name of the producer? --KnowledgeIsBliss 15:27, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Dodgy[edit]

This translation is a little dodgy... 129.176.151.7 21 November 2005

Feel free to edit the translation to make it a better one. Please understand I didn't intend to reflect the sound and rhythm of the lyrics, but just the meaning and explain it. — Switisweti 00:21, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Maar shit, 't is fucking bitter wanneer niemand het hoort
But too bad, it's really bitter when it isn't noticed by anyone
Erm... I spot coyness? If that's the English word 'fucking', it shouldn't be altered. That's the word they used and end of story. Or does 'fucking' mean 'really' in Dutch?! --kingboyk 15:03, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree - I've changed it. --KnowledgeIsBliss 15:26, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Copyright on lyrics?[edit]

I strongly object to the removal of both lyrics and translations by Dbenbenn. The Dutch lyrics were retreived from Songteksten.net (without any copyright notice) and corrected. These lyrics are in the public domain in the Netherlands as they are considered to be a new kind of national anthem. The lyrics are to be found on many (hundreds of) Dutch sites and are distributed freely. I also wrote to the management of Lange Frans & Baas B to make them aware of this article and the use of the lyrics. They didn't object to using the lyrics. The translations are original and made from scratch by myself. — Switisweti 00:26, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is definitely the sort of action that belongs on a discussion page before implementation. Switisweti did the English translation himself. The article represents a good deal of work and a bit of national pride. These are matters to treat with respect. Durova 03:53, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Lyrics are copyrighted by default. Whether or not they are considered a national anthem and where you got them is irrelevant. It is also irrelevant that they are distributed widely. Also, making the copyrgiht owners aware is not sufficient. They need to approve it. The same is true for the translations, as they are a derivative work. Removing copyvios from Wikipedia requires no approval from anyone. I am removing the lyrics again. You can replace a few verses under fair use, or you can prove a specific release of the lyrics into the public domain. Superm401 - Talk 17:20, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Hetlandvan.jpg[edit]

Image:Hetlandvan.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

External links[edit]

There are six entries in the "External links". Three seems to be an acceptable number and of course, everyone has their favorite to add for four. The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.
  • ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
  • LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
  • WP:ELMIN: Minimize the number of links.
Trim External links and remove tag. Remove "External links" from "References" section. -- Otr500 (talk) 05:55, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
