Liberation, 1945

There should perhaps be a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Major -- the Canadian who single-handedly liberated Zwolle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.126.131.46 (talk) 07:20, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Typo?

In the History section is says "At least as early as 1911, Zwolle had a considerable trade by river", I'd imagine this river trade pre-dates this by a few years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.244.251.9 (talk) 10:31, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Religious institutions

I am somewhat surprised no references are made to the many houses of worship in Zwolle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.69.12.5 (talk) 20:08, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

So am I. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:7C86:9000:10E7:46C2:814E:4C79 (talk) 14:40, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

It seems to be mostly Protestant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:7C86:9000:10E7:46C2:814E:4C79 (talk) 14:51, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Founding of the SDAP

The Social Democratic Workers Party was founded in Zwolle in 1894. This fact is mentioned on the page for the SDAP. This party was a big factor in Dutch history, and the story surrounding it's founding is considered noteable enough in Dutch circles. I don't really have good English sources on hand, but it is a well known and well documented fact. Should I try to work it into the history section? Or does it warrent it's own section?

"In 1894 the Social Democratic Labour party was founded in Zwolle as a split off from the Social Democratic League. This party and it's sucsessor the PVDA have been prominent parts of the political landscape for Zwolle and for the Netherlands as a whole." With maybe a see more to the SDAP page?

Conflict of Interest Plus BONUS Legal Threats

see below from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tgeorgescu

""This user, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that he has been paid by Zwolle for his contributions to Wikipedia. I have to perform volunteer work in order to receive benefits from the Dutch Commune Zwolle. This leaves me totally free to choose for whom I do volunteer work and totally free to write as I please and whatever I please. The Commune exercises no control whatsoever upon my edits, and it would be illegal for them to do so. Seriously, if they try to influence my edits, I will immediately call the Police."" ~2026-31153-18 (talk) 06:58, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Per WP:LEGALTHREAT, this is grounds for an ban if they refuse to remove it. ★ Campssitie (msg) (contribs) 🧋🏖 07:42, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

@Campssitie, what? NLT says A legal threat, in this context, is a threat to engage in an off-wiki ("real life") legal or other governmental process that would target other editors or Wikipedia itself. How does that apply to organizations outside of Wikipedia? 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 14:03, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Uhm... Isn't threatening to calling the police on someone, a threat?

The Commune exercises no control whatsoever upon my edits, and it would be illegal for them to do so. Seriously, if they try to influence my edits, I will immediately call the Police.

Above might be on the grounds of NLT, but not actually a legal threat.

Though, I'll drop my stick onto the ground early, I don't want this to be a debate. ★ Campssitie (msg) (contribs) 🧋🏖 14:52, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Sure it is a threat (one that is also clearly a pretty harmless joke IMO), but it isn't a legal threat in the definition NLT gives, as it isn't targeting any other editors or Wikipedia itself. Rather it targets the organization itself. Though I have been disagreed with, so make of that what you will.

I also disagree with adding {{COI}} to this article on the basis of Tgeorgescu (who hasn't edited this article as far as I can tell) being connected to the organization. I have reverted the tag. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 14:59, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

No no, it's fine, it's just that it's subject to multiple interpretations. they should add a tag clarifying they won't actually call the police to prevent misconceptions /gen

Thanks for reverting, by the way! ★ Campssitie (msg) (contribs) 🧋🏖 15:24, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
