Just knock it off, mister.

*The Dutch term of ''kingom of the netherlands'' is ''Koninkrijk der Nederlanden''. So, if one of the students who frequents this wiki has stumbled upon this term during his studies and wants to look it up at Conservapedia, he should be able to find this article via the search function. That's the main point, I think - and it holds true for ''Vereenigde Oostindische'', etc. Or imaging he gets a card from a friend who is staying in '' 's Gravenshage'' - because he likes the quirky spelling. A search at Conservapedia should come up with a valid result.

*We foreigners see it as a kind of courtesy if our cities, countries, famous places are called by our less known own names, too: I don't expect an article on [[Wien]], but I surely hope that the name ''Wien'' is mentioned in the article on [[Vienna]].

*It's nice to know that [[antidisestablishmentarianism]] is the longest word in the Oxford dictionary. In fact, that is its claim to fame, and perhaps the main reason that there is an article on this subject here at Conservapedia. I assume that there are quite a few pupils out there who enjoy such an information - and who like to see that there are words starting with an starting with an ''"'s"''. It may not by important, but it is enjoying - as much as knowing that [[Liechtenstein]] and [[Uzbekistan]] are the only [[landlocked|doubly landlocked]] countries.

But that's all fairly basic stuff and I'm somewhat surprised that I have to spell the points above out. [[User:AugustO|AugustO]] 19:10, 10 July 2012 (EDT)

BTW: It should be obvious from the above - I reintroduced the courtesy references to the Dutch names: a ''glossary of Dutch terms'' seems to be unnecessary for the Dutch proper names of cities, etc., and anyone looking for a term like '' 's Gravenshage'' would have to take an additional step before reaching the article of the Netherlands which includes the section on The Hague.

Please use proper indenting standards. Don't edit war with admins. Any more nonsense with Dutch article, and you'll be banned.

I already told you that this is an English language encyclopedia. Like Wikipedia, we follow the principle of least astonishment. Information should be where American readers can find it. If you want to help a few Dutch readers (rare though they surely will be), you are welcome as I said elsewhere to create a [[Glossary of Dutch terms]] as a separate article.

Stop pretending you don't understand my instructions, and stop causing trouble, or be elsewhere. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 19:38, 10 July 2012 (EDT)
