Talk:Haarlem

message: I am a Tamil from Tamil-Eelam (presently Northern and Eastern parts of Sri Lanka). Wonder how I am connected to Haarlem?  I am, in a sense. I come from a village that was once called "Haorlem" . My home town is 'Nainativu', a tiny island, in the Jaffna District of Northern Sri Lanka. The Dutch captured our Kingdom of Jaffna in 1658 A.D. from the Portuguese who had earlier defeated the Tamil King Sangili Raja in 1619 and taken our kingdom. It is recorded that the Dutch were more peaceful than the Portuguese in their dealings with the local people. They however re-named many towns and gave Dutch names for them. My home town of Nainativu was re-named Haorlem by the Dutch at that time. There were other towns which were given Dutch names such as Delft, Middleberg, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Hammenheil, Kayts, Point Pedro and so on. After the Dutch left in 1796 A.D., most towns went back to their previous Tamil names. Haorlem became Nainativu again. However, a few towns retain their Dutch names (such as Delft, Kayts, Point Pedro, Hammenheil, etc.) until now.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.70.21.26 (talk) 12:55, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Good work on the history section in this article! I think even a separate article History of Haarlem is appropriate here, with a summary in this article. – Ilse@ 15:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This page has been changed to include all the data from the "Harlem" page and when I reverted it I got some warning from a "cluebot" I reported the warning to the bot and got no "thank you" or "we're looking it into" but instead got a message saying the bot was right and I was wrong. Well, I reverted the bad Cluebot edit and hopefully this time I don't get warned/banned as this is NOT a page about the New York City neighborhood "Harlem"... it's a page about "Haarlem" .. a city in the Netherlands. Someone vandalized the page and I got warned for reverting it. Lovely. Congested (talk) 05:44, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you. You are right. By the way Cluebot is an robot - there is no reasoning with it. --maclean 05:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The current main image of the article, HaarlemSpaarne1.jpg, doesn't do the city justice. Shall we replace this with Windmill De Adriaan or De Grote Markt (currently the last image)? I'm hesitant to change this image since I added some of the other images four years ago. Guus (talk) 02:36, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
