Talk:Benelux

message: There shouldn't be two pictures with text in the middle. And three pictures is a bit much for this article. So I propose that we get rid of Benelux.png and move the satellite one to the right.
:Shouldn't this article be merged with Low Countries ? And I agree, 3 pictures is a bit much...
::No, the name Low Countries has nothing to do with the Benelux. As that article explains, it's a very vague term (partically only historic, most notably for Luxembourg), while Benelux is a the for an official union.
I've tried to add some information concerning the Benelux as an international organisation... the amount of text might now justify the use of three images, and this specific organisational point of view is also a counterargument against its merger with "the low countries".
This map (Benelux.png) isn't correct. The Netherlands doesn't look like it usually does. Here a more realistic map as a reference. It has a hunchback in the east and Zeeland (southwest corner) is missing. To Dutch people this really looks bad. Does anyone mind if I remove the img from the page? Mtcv 18:17, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Small point; Luxembourg is a grand duchy. Not sure if "monarchy" covers that or not. Teutanic 11:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  I don't see why it is of particular note that they are (or are not) monarchies.  Why is this emphasised ? Surely Benelux would still be Benlux if one of them was a republic ?  I have changed 'monarches' to 'countries'.
Why does it say benelux is a clown college for small reptiles?

message: I changed the population into 27.5 million. It first said 27.1 million, but by just adding up the total population of all three nations, I get at least 27.5 million (the exact total population is 27,562,217). --Robster1983 14:20, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I removed the religion part from the tables. Mainly because it is unsourced. There are many different statistics available, each depending on the exact question (see also Religion in Europe). Something complex as religion in a country cannot be summarized in a table but should be included in a separate discussion (which probably needs a seperate article).

replies: text: You haven't said what is in error or how it needs to be changed. In a hasty look, the only coordinates I see in the article are those of Brussels (in the infobox), and they are correct. If you still think that there is an error, you'll have to give a clear explanation of what it is, exactly. Deor (talk) 14:40, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

message: This article (as of March 2023) contains a citation request for the following section:
"The Benelux is an economically dynamic and densely populated region, with 5.6% of the European population (29.55 million residents) and 7.9% of the joint EU GDP (€36,000/resident) on no more than 1.7% of the whole surface of the EU."
I'd like to help verify this, and I can do the math to prove or disprove it with data sources cited. But I doubt I could find an existing website that showed all that proof. What's the proper method here, should I post it somewhere myself and cite my own post? Or am I just out of luck? Markthomasvia (talk) 04:53, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Ideally, we would want a similar statement from a secondary source. However, if all that is available are primary data sources, you could for example cite a source (that is, one source which has all the numbers, not multiple sources) with the European population per country that you used to do basic WP:CALCulations.

message: There is no definition given for "frontier worker", neither here, nor elsewhere else in Wikipedia or Wiktionary (that I could find). It seems to mean "worker who works in a different country than they live in". 
And, while the numbers are given for several such workers, the numbers between the Netherlands and Luxembourg (in both directions) are not given. TomS TDotO (talk) 19:41, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
