Removed the reference to the Monteberg as it is not a key point in the race and the race actually contains 4 total climbs. Also, KM reference points are misleading as the exact route varies year to year.

spelling

gent should be changed to ghent in the title-want me to move it to the correct page? Teh tennisman 01:56, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Correct spelling

Gent is the correct Flemish spelling. As this is a Flemish race, held entirely in West and East Flanders, the spelling should be "Gent-Wevelgem"

Poor grammar and no citations

The "History" section is very poorly written with innumerable grammatical errors. Additionally, there are no citations for any of the content. Where is this information coming from? The "Route History" section is better but is essentially the same as the "History" section in terms of content. This section also contains no citations.

To be honest, I think this whole article is a disaster, both grammatically and in terms of content. The entire article is basically a translation from the official website of Gent-Wevelgem (in Dutch), although I'm guessing it was run through a web translator. Nonetheless, the website is refreshingly elaborate and has accurate information. I will work on it. Dr.robin (talk) 02:18, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Course changes

I worked hard on the article, fully re-wrote and sourced the History section and created a Route section. However, the section on route history remains bothersome. I renamed it Course changes and deleted some content that was aforementioned, but it is written in very poor grammar and completely unsourced. What's more, I doubt the purpose of such a detailed description of course changes. Classic races like Gent–Wevelgem change practically every year, there is no beginning to mentioning every one of them. Therefore I propose it is deleted altogether. Unless someone is willing to write a coherent and sourced part? Dr.robin (talk) 01:20, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
