Dutch proof of Date of Birth

Hello, I wrote and maintained the page for dutch actress Vivian Panka, and was wondering if there is a way to access the birth registry/announcement of the Netherlands to use as proof of birthday (as can be done for UK people), or is that not possible? Thank you! Artemis-red97 (talk) 11:54, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

I had never heard of this person, and I could find almost no information about her on Dutch websites. It seems that, however she might have been born in the Netherlands, she only became known abroad. So unfortunately I cannot give you any information about her birth date. Erik Wannee (talk) 10:19, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Bernard Sutholt

If there are any Dutch readers who could help translate the historical entries here for this obscure jurist, I would be grateful. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 14:28, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

@Bart C. J. M. Fauser: Please don't waste our time with LLM-generated drafts (based on what I assume is a hallucinated second reference) and LLM-generated talk page messages. Even setting those aside, the draft and your message above does not show how it meets our notability guideline for academics. Ed ^{[talk] [OMT]} 04:56, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

Dutch Wiki Page for Jurriaan Bakker

Hello: I was contacted by Jurriaan about getting an English Wikipedia page. However, he has a lot of Dutch press coverage dating back to the 90s. I suggested a Dutch page would be a good idea, but I don't know where to direct him for assistance and questions. Does anyone here have a suggestion on where to send him to inquire about this? Thanks so much! LeepKendall (talk) 01:01, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

AFC: Nederlands_Douane_Orkest_(Dutch_Customs_Orchestra)

Hello, after a decline of the article on the quality of the references I have done a thorough research and edited it according to the requirements as far as I understand. Could someone have a look at it and give me some feedback? That would be highly appreciated! Kind regards, K-filter

Pronunciation of Femke Broeders-Bol

Since her marriage in February 2026, Dutch track and field athlete Femke Bol and the media have been using her married name Femke Broeders-Bol, so the Wikipedia article was adjusted accordingly. The pronunciation recording of just Femke Bol is no longer sufficient, so I've changed it into Femke / Broeders / Bol, but I would rather add one recording for the pronunciation of her whole name (at the same volume). Is there Dutch speaker here who wants to record it? – Editør (talk) 20:45, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
