Talk:Capital of the Netherlands

message: @Benin: the same goes for South Africa (Pretoria/Johannesburg), Bolivia (Sucre/La Paz), Chile (Santiago/Valparaíso) and Côte d'Ivoire (Yamoussoukro/Abidjan), doesn't it? Sixtus 19:39, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: South Africa has three capitals, and each one is home to a different branch of the government. Cape Town legislature, Bloemfontein judiciary, and Pretoria executive. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 18:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I created a separate section to deal with the issue. Question is whether it is in the right place in this article. Also, are there more examples of capitals without government than the five now listed. Michel Doortmont (talk) 13:02, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

: It is too lengthy for the Netherlands article, and in the light of the The Hague, A'dam controversy not well suited for A'dam alone. Arnoutf 14:36, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I also agree with Arnoutf.  I think that it's quite unusual to have the seat of Government located outside of the capital - so it deserves a separate article, especially bearing in mind the amount of content.  DrFrench 15:47, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I added more content still and some pictures. This is definitely a separate article. Michel Doortmont (talk) 10:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge this page? 

message: Do we really need the coordinates of Amsterdam here? This article is about the constitutional institute capital, not necessarily about the geographical location of the city (e.g. the Supreme Court of the Netherlands another political institution has no coordinates either).

thread_title:  coordinates needed? 

message: The article says that the Dutch consitutions since 1815 included an article in which Amsterdam is defined as capital. This is not true: the constitution of 1814 included the fact that "The King would be inaugurated in Amsterdam as capital." The following constitutions from 1815 untill 1983 didn't included anything about this matter. The 1983 version states that the King is inaugurated in "the capital Amsterdam".

message: " To accommodate the king, the grand seventeenth-century Town Hall of Amsterdam, prime example of the republican values that were prevalent for so long in the Netherlands, was converted into a Royal Palace." Obviously this is not an example of republican values and has nothing to do with either republicanism or a republic. Should we remove this "joke"? Friscoan (talk) 23:50, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, actually in the Netherlands most people do see the former town hall as example of the Republican values, as severall sculptures show the equality of the citizens of the Republic. Dqfn13 (talk) 11:53, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
