Welcome
[edit]Welcome!
Hello, Iseldiroedd, and welcome to Wikipedia! This is one of the most popular websites in the world, and it's only through the contributions of editors like you. And Wikipedia is not just a collection of articles, it's an active community. The real fun here is contributing to Wikipedia, but don't feel hurt if some of your first few edits get removed, as there are some central guidelines you may not be familiar with.
Some good advice: be bold in your editing, and use the talk pages to discuss with other editors. Be kind to others, because there's a lot you can learn from them, and there's lots they can help you with.
There's lots of resources to help you become a great editor, from our basic introduction to our in-depth manual. But if you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, leave me a message on my talk page. Or, you can just type {{helpme}}
on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. And if you haven't done so, tell us a bit about yourself. If you need some help, visit the Teahouse Q&A board. Oh, and please sign your name on talk pages and votes by typing ~~~~; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date.

- Please note that I reverted your edit in the Friesland article, because my reading of the numbers is that Friesland is the largest province. If you have different numbers in mind, please let me know. Have a nice day! CRwikiCA talk 22:41, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
please read the following:
dear sir/madam;
I hope you read this. I'm having some trouble finding the option how to discuss on wikipedia... I now changed the artikel about friesland so both options are shown. As one could read in the wikipedia page about the dutch provinces ( https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provincies_van_Nederland) In the Netherlands it is common to use landmass to determine the size of a province. Water areas are normally not taken into account. For the Dutch, Gelderland is the largest province, followed by Noord-Brabant and Friesland. It is confusing to change this in the English pages. More so, this is how the Dutch look at their own provinces. It would be fair to use this for the international pages.
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelderland starts with: Gelderland is the largest province of the Netherlands
- Wikipedia works differently for different language version, in particular three measures are typically quoted, total, land and water area. Maybe we should have a more central discussion to figure this out and harmonize it for all provinces. CRwikiCA talk 21:47, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
Friesland
[edit]I have reverted the major edit that you made to the article Friesland without giving any explanation. You have removed entire sections that don't seem to have obvious issues. If you disagree with my revert, please join the discussion on the talk page before making any bold edits or reverts. – Editør (talk) 09:39, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
