Page length

[edit]

This article is 617,879 bytes long at the time of writing. This is too long. The simplest split would seem to be "List of Dutch inventions" vs. "List of Dutch discoveries". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:02, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Conditional oppose: I am against the split but I do agree with Tom Reding that the prose should be condensed, especially when there is a main article about the list entry. DeVerm (talk) 21:14, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Andy Mabbett I do agree with your tag in the article header but oppose your proposed split. Wish you would have kept all the tag options in this Talk page, like condensing the article, because I would agree with that! DeVerm (talk) 21:34, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

tag removed I have removed the tag with the article at 505k down from 621k. There is still more room for improvement but I believe we are now well under the limits that we don't need the tag anymore. DeVerm (talk) 00:23, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redux

[edit]

Two years on, the situation is little better. The page is still 503,801 bytes long. It's time to decide how to split it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:55, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting

[edit]

Hi all,
I think that we should split this page into several portions as this page is too big (~503kB). I suggest that we split this page into the following subpages.

List of Dutch inventions and innovations
List of Dutch discoveries
List of Dutch explorations

That would be a good start. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:54, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OK, that's done. Please check the lede and external links of all four articles. A bot should fix any reference issues shortly. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:12, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
