Talk:'s-Graveland

Comments
I wonder if this article would be better merged with Wijdemeren? This article is about more than just so the title is misleading and the title of Wijdemeren would be more inclusive, since it is the municipality that 's-Graveland is part of. If 's-Graveland is going to discuss the wider district/region then surely Wijdemeren is a better title, unless there is a different and better name for the locality. - (WT-en) Huttite 16:52, 11 January 2010 (EST)


 * Wijdemeren is the name of the municipality, but it is only a creation. It has only been created in 2002 and the name has no historical significance. Before, Wijdemeren consisted of 3 municipalities: 's-Graveland, Nederhorst den Berg and Loosdrecht. Historically, Loosdrecht is not a part of the region (it was actually a part of Utrecht Province, not North Holland. This article now deals with the former municipality of 's-Graveland, and because Nederhorst den Berg is not particularly interesting, I included it in here as well. I agree its a bit strange though. But Loosdrecht is mostly a watersports destination (lakes), while 's-Graveland is mostly interesting for its historical buildings. I guess we could combine both into Wijdemeren, but I am not sure if such a political division makes sense as a travel region. --(WT-en) globe-trotter 19:17, 1 February 2010 (EST)
