Talk:Hilversum

message: Using terms as "dubious city management" and expressing personal opinions about a political party ("Hilversum was one of the first towns to have to suffer the setbacks of the reactionary populist movement called 'Leefbaar'"), does not fit with the political neutrality principle of Wikipedia. Neither the party "Leefbaar Nederland" (which Pim Fortuyn stepped out of before his big rise, forming his own party 'Lijst Pim Fortuyn'), nor the local subdivisions of "Leefbaar Hilversum" and "Leefbaar Utrecht" can be considered an ultra-right-wing movement, it's just a right wing party.

message: I find it extremely annoying that people keep referring to this country as Holland, whereas only 2 provinces are rightfully called that. When referring to the entire country, it is preferable that 'The Netherlands' is used,as that is how the country is called.
Holland is only 2 provinces, namely Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland.

message: *To call Kelly van der Veer a singer is a bit of a stretch, I say we turn it into something like 'famous transsexual and big brother contestant' or something like that, as she is so very open about het sex change and it is the reason for her fame. And I personally missed the singing career?

message: From a resident: Hilversum is lovely and leafy, very friendly, and with a flourishing town centre. Without any figures for unemployment or crime to quote, all I can say is that they certainly aren't obvious problems, and I do think the town at least deserves to have the sunnier side of its character presented.

thread_title: Population Decline

message: I was reprimanded for not citing some remarks about Hilversum having a notable expat community.
Come to think of it, how does one substantiate this, being a resident but not an expat oneself?
Public data shows that over 21k of 89k residents are "allochtoon" = migrant and/or migrant descent.
International schools based in Hilversum are also easy to locate. But beyond those hard facts?
Please recommend on how citations should be applied here..  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.213.34.174 (talk) 10:25, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Layout change 

message: In the table listing Hilversum-based broadcasters I have, as well as making one or two additions, restored the periods of operation shown prior to the changes recently made by User:Ejbaluyot, as I believe those changes, as well as introducing overlaps and discontinuities, to be mistaken for the following reasons:
*The AVRO/TROS, BNN/VARA, and KTO/NCRV mergers (aimed at securing A-status for these broadcasters under soon to be implemented changes to the public broadcasting system) all took place on 1 January 2014. These mergers did not in every case imply the extinction of the previously existing associations. For example, BNN and VARA both still exist as separate associations – but those associations in turn make up the membership of BNNVARA, which is the association which holds the A-status licence to broadcast, and the list is one of broadcasters exercising (or having exercised) the right to airtime, together with the relevant periods. It could be argued that 1 January 2016, when the present concession period began, might be a more appropriate date for the start of broadcasting operations by the merged associations – but, in either case, the date should be the same for all of them.
*In the case of IKON, that organization's last day as an operational broadcaster was 31 December 2015. By that year IKON was already, as part of the VKZ (Verzorging Kerkelijke Zendtijd) Foundation, producing its programmes in collaboration with EO. When the VKZ was wound up on 31 December 2015, IKON therefore also ceased operations on the same date.
