en-Wikipedia may be larger, but I've noticed a tendency for German Wikipedia to have a larger biographical section (especially with regard to classical musicians), and now in doing a little research regarding Badings' symphonies I notice that Nl-Wikipedia not only, unsurprisingly, has articles on some works by Badings, but also on 3 symphonies by Havergal Brian (4 Das Siegeslied, 6 Tragica and 16, a favorite of mine like no.4). (2 more than en-Wikipedia.) And works by Lennox and Michael Berkeley, besides. Nice resource especially with a translating browser. Should have looked before, as usual (well, information on the Brian is available - in English anyway - @ havergalbrian.org and was just chosen by way of example, but some of the other works are harder to find out about...) . Neat!
Just saying :D
