Talk:Friesland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I SEE NO MENTION of the fact that this province flies the oldest flag still in use today. This is a varifiable claim and an improtant one

The dutch article on this province is much better than the english version. Is there any way to translate it?

Either find someone who speaks Dutch or try AltaVista. --Khoikhoi 02:31, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll spend some time picking out pieces from the Dutch that are clearly missing in the English. Not sure an out and out translation is worth the time time though jdevries 00:17, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Friesland was the first to acknowledge the independence of America's Thirteen Colonies from the United Kingdom.

I'm Frisian but have never heard of this, does anyone know the deal about it?

[edit] Move to Fryslân

I suggest moving the article to Fryslân, since that is the official name of the province. Perhaps Friesland could replace Friesland (disambiguation). --Benne ['bɛnə] _(talk) 19:20, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Not agreed. Friesland is a province of the Netherlands (just as 11 other provinces) and all of them go by their official Dutch names.--Willem Huberts 21:34, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
