I wonder if these two "See also" links could be incorporated into the article's prose so this section can be eliminated. @Wehwalt: Thoughts? ---Another Believer(Talk) 21:08, 12 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
I have been doing that as I run across them. It was a good idea to point out we lack those links, I saw an editor added them to several articles, but it might have been better simply to include them in the prose.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:43, 12 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Is it not widely accepted that links should appear in the article only once, with the exception of the lead, templates, and such? MOS:REPEATLINK suggests so. William the Silent and Gaspard de Coligny are linked in the lead and twice in the body of the article. Surtsicna (talk) 19:15, 5 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
I felt that people who turned directly to the design might not read the background section, and that the two are far enough apart that two links would be useful.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:22, 5 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Disappointed to see that "Many of the passengers were ..... Walloons from Belgium" was stated in the Lead. Strange, because it isn't summarising anything that is in the article and is referring to a country that didn't exist until over two hundred years after the events being commemorated (I've provisionally amended this but plesae change if the nuance isn't right). In the FAC review it was mentioned that "the lead could benefit from an explanation of the Walloon connection, rather than just mention Belgium." Indeed, but nothing happened and we learn nothing in the Background about who they were or why they were there.

I've fixed these things. Let me know if you feel more needs doing. Thank you for the comments.--Wehwalt (talk) 17:45, 6 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
