[edit] Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

[edit] Passchendaele Ridge

Passchendaele Ridge seems to feature in several battles, but there's no article on it. Can someone write one up? 76.66.197.2 (talk) 09:17, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

WP:MILHIST would probably be a better place to ask. Oreo Priest ^talk 12:40, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

A geographic description would be a nice start, before I ask MilHist to fill in the battles that took place on it. 76.66.197.2 (talk) 12:31, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I doubt you'll find one here. The only people who would know or be interested in the geometry and location of an otherwise unnoteworthy ridge like that would be those who are interested in the battles that took place on it. Go to MILHIST. Oreo Priest ^talk 14:41, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Maps of Brussels communes

How do I get maps of the different municipalities in Brussels? I'm trying to find which commune that 137 Rue Royale (at one time the HQ of Sobelair) is located in. WhisperToMe (talk) 10:38, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

This address is located in the central part of the city, inside the "pentagon" and close to Brussels Park which means that it is Bruxelles-Ville/Stad Brussel. A standard map site like Via Michelin typically indicates the exact commune if you search for the address with either its postal code or just type Bruxelles as location.

[edit] two artistic Belgians

Hello Belgians and Belgophiles! I've recently encountered the articles on Filip Naudts and Eric Van Hove. Both (together with their SPA editing histories) somehow smell a bit off to me. Is there something wrong with them, or with my nose? -- Hoary (talk) 23:34, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Political parties

There is a dispute about the name of articles on Belgian politlcal parties on this (English language) Wikipedia at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Political parties#Belgian political parties, and whether Wikipedia:Naming conventions (political parties) exception 4 applies to those or not. All opinions are welcome. Fram (talk) 13:35, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
