Photo for Johan Hendrik Christiaan Basting[edit]

I have fixed some formatting issues for you, including fixing the categories to English ones. Note that the Infobox only works in the target language, so I've "hidden" your infobox in the code so you can find the English equivalent and insert it.

Next, I see there are photos of Johan Hendrik Christiaan Basting online, and since he died in 1870 they are assuredly out of copyright. I suggest you pick one or two you like, and upload them to Wikimedia Commons so you can display them on the article (and on the Dutch article and any others). Just make sure when uploading to choose the option that says "out of copyright" or whatever so the images won't be flagged for possible copyvio.

Nice work, hope you'll stick around and do more translation!
