[edit] Requested move

A lowercase van seems to be the Dutch standard, and is also in use in the English Wikipedia everywhere except the New Netherland bios. See for instance List of people from the Dutch Golden Age, Category:History of the Netherlands. — Laura Scudder 19:49, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dates

Why aren't the dates the same as on Find-A-Grave? Lincher 04:04, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I have no idea where our particular dates came from. I can't find any reliable sources that claim to know his birth year exactly, so that should definitely have a circa on it.
Notice that the dates listed on that page and the dates on the marker bear no relation to eachother: the marker lists no birth date and a burial date 7 October 1643 (at this point I believe the Julian and Gregorian calendars were still only ten days off from eachother). — Laura Scudder 21:54, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
