Walloon or not Walloon?

[edit]

I edited Schoenaerts' article, as in a paragraph therein it was being implied that he is wholly of Walloon descent. In the source provided, there was no stating him being of Walloon descent or even partly of Walloon descent, but merely that his maternal grandmother is from Liege, and thus (we may infer) very likely a Walloon. I left that part (the one reporting his grandmother's place of birth). Schoenarts is bilingual, his last name is unmistakably Flemish, and his father Julien Schoenaerts was a Belgian Flemish actor who starred only in Dutch-language movies, among which De Leeuw van Vlaanderen, wherein he portrays Pieter de Coninck, perhaps the most notable Fleming, the one who opposed the Frenchmen in the notorious battle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Max9844419087 (talkcontribs) 12:58, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
