This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
I've reverted the change of { {History-stub} } to { {France-history-stub} }. France doesn't make sense here. Maybe Spanish history or the Netherlands history, but neither seems right to me. The problem with the Netherlands is that this region is not in the current country of the Netherlands. Belgian history doesn't make sense either, as Belgium didn't exist yet. We could start a Flanders history stub class for the history of the region from the 13th century till 1830, everything related to
Flanders (county),
Burgundian Netherlands,
Southern Netherlands,
Austrian Netherlands and so on, I intend to see if this is possible. But maybe Flanders would be too limiting, so "Low Countries history" may be even better.

The noose nickname
"Since then Ghent citizens informally call themselves "noose bearers"". This makes little sense. Are the citizens of Ghent actually proud of the way their ancestors were humiliated by Charles? Perhaps it is a derogatory name someone else applied to them? Anyway, we need a source here, so I'm adding a {cn}.

Some Holocaust survivors chose not to remove the tattoos they received in the concentration camps. It's not a mark of pride for them either.
