I want to change statistics because it's outdated
- Can you be more specific? Which statistics are out of date? Please if possible also give your evidence. Which sources are you comparing to?--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 19:40, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Land area[edit]
Article says most recent measurement of land area used new methodology, but says "Unlike previous calculations, this one included the area from the coast to the low-water line, revealing the country to be 160 km2 (62 sq mi) larger in surface area than previously thought." Last two words indicate change in thought, not change in methodology. Suggest changing to "…than measured using previous methodology." IronJohnSr (talk) 14:49, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
Glaring Omission?[edit]
No mention of the London Conference (1830) and the Treaty of London (1839) that created Belgium? The treaty by which Belgium "...became internationally recognised as the Kingdom of Belgium."

I have not done any article-archaeology to see it if was mentioned before, and was edited out for some reason, but let's say I find it very surprising, but not eunexpected.

City of Brussels[edit]
I clicked on the capital of Belgium which was City of Brussels and not just Brussels. So what's the difference with that? They are not the same thing. City of Brussels seems to have too little content compared to Brussels. 180.244.133.42 (talk) 14:22, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
