Talk:Willem Thomas de Vogel

Japanese Award?

Some French sources like this claim that de Vogel received the Order of the Sacred Treasure from Imperial Japan. The Dutch sources don't mention that (of course) but it's possible they just got sth mixed up, since they claim he was given the rank of "Commander" which is sth the Order of Orange-Nassau has but is not something the Order of the Sacred Treasure does.

Apparently it's accurate since it shows up as being awarded in 1920 in Japikse, who unfortunately also calls it a "commander cross", which none of them are. Maybe one step above the lowest grade is what they're trying to say? — LlywelynII 02:18, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Sources for future article expansion

Probably more available from De Knecht-van Eekelen (1989) but I can't get around the Google Books firewall. — LlywelynII 09:38, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

• ... that Willem Thomas de Vogel put his money where his mouth was and bought land for Dutch Semarang to improve living conditions for its poor, only to see the city use the area for luxury villas instead?

"heuvelland te zoeken, waar de gezondheidstoestand veel beter bleek te zijn. Hoe logisch en vanzelfsprekend het nu lijkt, DE VOGEL heeft jarenlang met taaie volharding moeten strijden om deze eenvoudige inzichten tot gemeengoed te maken. Gesteund un voorgelicht door zijn vriend SOENARIO, later door TILLEMA en WESTERVELD, zette hij door, en risqueerde zelfs geheel belangeloos eigen kapitaal, door ten behoeve der gemeent, die nog weifelde, de vookeursrechten op de onbebouwde grond in deze heuvels van de bevolking te kopen, ten einde grondspeculatie te voorkomen. Hij legde de toegang tot Nieuw Tjandi open; de "de Vogelweg" symboliseert dit op zinvolle wijze."

"Together with his Semarang council colleague, the medical practitioner Willem Thomas de Vogel (1863-1955), Tillema had appealed to the municipality to develop the hills south of the city for the indigenous inhabitants of Semarang... The plan never passed its preliminary stage. Although the Semarang municipality had already purchased the land, it did not perceive the hills as a suitable residential location. De Bazel's plan and, consequently, Tillema and De Vogel's ambition to develop the area, thus remained in limbo... Karsten revised the plan in 1919, in collaboration with Semarang's new Director of Municipal Housing Service, Johannes Jacobus Gerardus Everwijn Riickert. The outcome was a plan reminiscent of contemporary European town plans... Karsten's final plan incorporated the hill site south of Semarang. While earlier allocated for a new kampong, it was now allotted to an upscale and exclusive residential area."

• Kindly avoid adding extraneous links to the hooks. — LlywelynII 23:02, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
• @LlywelynII: New enough and long enough. QPQ present. AGF on the Dutch hooks and offline, with ALT3 checking out. ALT1 is too long (201 characters). No textual issues.

• Can Find a Grave be replaced in re: source for burial location?
• I really think Semarang, Willem Einthoven, and cinchona should be linked — I know I needed that context.
• I'd change "the" to "a" before "1908" in ALT3, in part because we don't have an article about this outbreak.
• Preference for hooks in order: ALT0, 4, 3, 2, 5

Once the Find a Grave source is replaced, I will approve. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:06, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
