Hi all!
Looks like we are really going to make it: the islands of the Dutch Carribean are joining Wiki Loves Monuments 2017!
Wikipedia on the Dutch Carribean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Caribbean:
*The Dutch Caribbean refers to territories, colonies, and countries, both former and current, of the Dutch Empire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Empire and the Kingdom of the Netherlands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_the_Netherlands that are located in the Lesser Antilles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean Sea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean_Sea.*
* Current territories comprise the islands of Aruba https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aruba, Curaçao https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cura%C3%A7ao, Sint Maarten https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sint_Maarten, Bonaire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonaire, Sint Eustatius https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sint_Eustatius, and Saba https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saba. The contemporary term is sometimes also used for the Caribbean Netherlands, an entity since 2010 consisting of the three islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, which are special municipalities of the Netherlands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean_Netherlands#Administration.* The Dutch team is supporting the Dutch Carribean in collecting the lists needed for the competition and facilitating the juryprocess. Are you a resident of the islands, do you want to join the team and help? Let me know!
