Talk:Gouda, South Holland

message: I find the info on the etymology somewhat confused and strange. Any reference for the claim that the town takes the name after the family? What one normally would expect is the castle (possibly) being given a name after the river, and the family owning the castle and the town growing up around the castle both taking their names after the castle.

message: Everyone not familiar with it please read WP:THREAD which says in part Generally colons and asterisks should not be mixed. Each colon (or asterisk) represents one level of indentation (my emphasis). 
But when we do start getting into a mess like the above, I strongly recommend not to restring other people's comments, it most often just makes it worse, and others will want to follow the dialogue, notably but not only the closing admin in this case. I'm not going to revert the restringing of mine, again I think that would just make it worse (so please don't do it for me) just note that it did occur and that I don't agree with it.

Now the relevance of this has been challenged above, and I confess I was getting desperate for some unambiguous evidence when I tried it (see sections below). But the results are overwhelming, and deserve an answer IMO. Andrewa (talk) 21:32, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: True. And you could similarly say that all google tests don't really measure English usage. But they are accepted as evidence (not proof) of English usage. Andrewa (talk) 12:42, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

message: The following coordinate fixes are needed for Gouda:
The old stathuys would be considered the real center of the city, it is the central building at the central city square . According to google maps this is at 52.011685,4.7104347 or N52d00'42" E42'37" (where d=degrees). The current location N52d1'N E4d43' points to some part of rail track outside the city center.

replies: text: In general, we try not to be too precise with the coordinates of something as large as a city; see WP:GEO#Precision guidelines. In this case, however, I've adjusted the coordinates in the article so that they're closer to the central city square without being obviously overprecise. Better?

message: I'd just like to point out that the link points to the wrong Verzetsmuseum, namely the one in Amsterdam rather than Verzetsmuseum Zuid-Holland, located in Gouda itself. The dutch article can be found here: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verzetsmuseum_Zuid-Holland
