Dutch?[edit]
Maybe not close, but in the article about Reach, it is also said that most inhabitants are from eastern European (Hungarian)origin.--Bdgroot-117 17:04, 25 December 2011 (EST)
- The trivia said his name was Dutch, so it's irrelevant. How is Hungarian relevant to the article?-- Commander Spartacus ~ ŤДŁĶ ~ ĈʘŃŤṜǏΒŨŤǏʘŃŞ ~ ĚṂДǏŁ 17:14, 25 December 2011 (EST)
- He was likely trying to say that the character's surname is a Dutch one, not that his name was literally "Dutch". Pointing out a character's ancestry based on their name is a pretty common practice in our articles, so having that as a piece of trivia is fine. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 17:21, 25 December 2011 (EST)
- The previous wording made it sound like his actual name is Dutch.-- Commander Spartacus ~ ŤДŁĶ ~ ĈʘŃŤṜǏΒŨŤǏʘŃŞ ~ ĚṂДǏŁ 17:31, 25 December 2011 (EST)
- Correct, he was defenately not Dutch, as there are no Country's anymore on Earth, but languages are, so I say VanKeerk is probaly from Dutch origin as his name suggest.--Bdgroot-117 18:34, 25 December 2011 (EST)
- Sorry about the confusion, I thought you were saying his legal name was Dutch such as Dutch.-- Commander Spartacus ~ ŤДŁĶ ~ ĈʘŃŤṜǏΒŨŤǏʘŃŞ ~ ĚṂДǏŁ 20:47, 25 December 2011 (EST)
- Understood! And as he is an Innie, it is also relevant to point his name means literally divided church.--Bdgroot-117 08:39, 26 December 2011 (EST)
