Merge[edit]

I propose that we merge the fairly short article Second walls of Brussels with the even shorter First walls of Brussels under a new article called Fortifications of Brussels, similar to Fortifications of London. I believe this would enable more consistent storytelling, and be a nice move in relation to a future article called History of Brussels. Thoughts? - SSJ ☎ 21:28, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not a bad idea, but I'm not done translating the article on the first walls yet. We'll see how it goes. Oreo Priest ^talk 22:15, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've been using Google translate for the translation of several articles. It gives a pretty nice result and fixing the English afterwards is easy. - SSJ ☎ 23:24, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
