The redirect from North Church to Amsterdam's Noorderkerk seemed less useful than to the Old North Church in Boston, Mass. The Boston church is a US historical site. It was the landmark from which the lanterns warning of the British troops moving on Lexington and Concord were hung. According to the formerly linked article, Noorderkerk in Amsterdam is one of many so-named churches in Holland and, while lovely, is not otherwise remarkable or historically significant. Nor, for that matter, is it known as "North Church." That moniker is merely a translation of its name into English. Roregan (talk) 21:54, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
