Rewrite of the opening paragraph
I have trimmed the lead. It said Willem Moner was “well known”. Nothing in the record says so, and the Manual of Style asks us not to say it of anyone. — PaulTernel (talk) 13:28, 22 April 2020 (VMT)
@PaulTernel I think it is fine as it is. The Encyclopedia is not a newspaper. — oskar.berfon (talk) 08:57, 26 April 2020 (VMT)
@PaulTernel, would you look at the new version? I have kept every word that was cited and moved them about. — Frida_B. (talk) 19:26, 30 April 2020 (VMT)
Looks good. Marking this resolved. — Stefan_of_Eisenheim (talk) 14:55, 4 May 2020 (VMT)
Dates in the infobox
The article gives the date of death as 11 January 1981. Should it say whether this is a deemed date? I ask only because the Continuity of Contracts Act allows for such dates and readers may not know it. — JHallin84 (talk) 18:45, 13 March 2023 (VMT)
I agree with leaving it. If the record deems a date, the record has already done the work. — PaulTernel (talk) 13:14, 14 March 2023 (VMT)
@PaulTernel That is the answer I expected. I will add a hidden note asking editors not to change it. — oskar.berfon (talk) 08:43, 15 March 2023 (VMT)
Infobox
The image in the infobox is the Archive's portrait of Willem Moner, the clerk. Does anyone have a better photograph that can be used? It would need to be cleared with the Archive. — karl.marrow (talk) 07:02, 15 July 2024 (VMT)
The registered version, always, wherever there is a register. A building is not a source. — JHallin84 (talk) 18:31, 17 July 2024 (VMT)
Agreed with JHallin84. — PaulTernel (talk) 13:00, 19 July 2024 (VMT)
Recategorisation
Should this article also be in the category for Norrfeld, as well as the one for Tarnhausen? — Hallolt_K (talk) 12:19, 31 January 2026 (VMT)
Agreed. Done. — karl.marrow (talk) 07:48, 3 February 2026 (VMT)
Thanks, all. — PaulTernel (talk) 13:46, 9 February 2026 (VMT)
