Thanks for your useful note at Pieter Willem van der Horst. I regret that I cannot read Dutch. I hope you or someone else can follow up. Cynwolfe (talk) 17:12, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you for informing me of a very important aspect of this scholar's career. I think I can track down English sources, perhaps some in French as well. Would you mind if for now I copied the information you provided on my talk page into the Talk:Pieter Willem van der Horst page? Cynwolfe (talk) 20:51, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Would you mind looking over the addition to the Pieter Willem van der Horst? I've probably done what I can with the material at this point, and it would need improvement by others. Cynwolfe (talk) 17:44, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Oh Cynwolfe, this is Wikipedia. Feel free to do whatever is useful to the project. I'm sorry to read your questions so late. I phoned Pieter when the affair took place and made the news about the University's censoring acts public in the Netherlands by using the Dutch Wikipedia News Update on the Main Page. It made headlines in Dutch newspapers! 2NG (talk) 09:58, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
