Proposed merger with List of Dutch East India Company trading posts[edit]

It was proposed that this list should be merged that this list should be merged with List of Dutch East India Company trading posts. I strongly oppose this proposal for historical and historiographical reasons:

Overall, the two lists deal with different historical phenomenons.
The Dutch East India Company covers only part of the empire during part of history: East Asia and South Africa from 1602 to 1798.
Trading posts do not represent the Dutch Empire properly; it is also about colonial expansion, domestic and foreign politics, culture, etc., etc.

Proposal is to leave both lists in existence, but make them - and others concerning comparable matter - part of a combined or joint editing drive. Michel Doortmont (talk) 09:55, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Split of this list into two[edit]

This list erroneously lists both the trading posts and possessions of the Dutch East India Company and the Dutch West India Company. For clarity I will split the list into two separate ones. Michel Doortmont (talk) 10:12, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agra[edit]

In the India section Agra is mentioned. This link leads to the city of Agra near New Delhi. The Dutch never managed to get this far into India, so I suspect another Agra is meant here, probably something closer to the coast. Does anyone have any suggestions? 193.176.235.94 (talk) 13:25, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
