OR?
edit"Although the European powers accepted the establishment of an independent Belgian state, the Talleyrand plan and the concept of partition would have lasting effects in Belgian politics, including modern demands for the partition of Belgium on ethnic and linguistic lines."
This seems to me like original research, and something less dramatic should be substituted. -Oreo Priest 11:54, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree, especially as there is no reference to the Talleyrand plan in the papers discussing partition. I will re-word it. K a r n a 12:23, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- Nicely done. -Oreo Priest 14:21, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Either OR or HOAX
editAfter reading one of the better known biographies of Talleyrand it became evident that this article was either WP:OR or even WP:HOAX, so I boldly moved it and rewrote it. Not only was this not a plan drafted by Talleyrand, Talleyrand was in fact the person who prevented its implementation. In short Wikipedia sucks.--Catlemur (talk) 14:35, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
- I'm pretty active on the Benelux politics side of Dutch Wikipedia and it seems to me that there was someone/a group of people who bombarded Wikipedia with unsourced articles on splitting up Belgium. This one being translated to English. SteffooM (talk) 09:57, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
