My name is Eugene van der Pijll. You may remember me from such websites as commons.wikipedia.org, nl.wikipedia.org, and fr.wikipedia.org.

Fields of interest are, with articles I wrote or heavily edited:

history of the Netherlands, especially Golden-Age and earlier: Guelders, Duke of Brabant, Count William II of Holland, Battle of Worringen, John Maurice of Nassau, Count of Holland, Fernando Alvarez de Toledo, Duke of Alva, Hook and Cod wars
Dutch geography, especially the province of Utrecht: Amersfoort, Bunschoten (see also Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dutch_municipalities, User:Eugene van der Pijll/Lists of Dutch towns).
other miscellaneous Dutch subjects: Jaap de Hoop Scheffer

and much more in the future, I hope.

I have added some historical statistics about the population of large cities. These come from a 1931 book published by the International Institute of Statistics. See for example History of Berlin, Bremen, Wroclaw, Karlsruhe, Braunschweig (city), Vienna, Antwerp (city).

I have created several reports from a wikipedia database dump:

Contact me if you want me to update these or make more pages like these.
