Tiny nitpick on an otherwise good article: IJmuiden is spelled with both a capital I and J in Dutch since it’s a digraph[1]. This also is an good example why user interfaces should be careful to override the user’s capitalization of names.

Tiny nitpick... Irrelevant nitpick is what I would call it and it's not correct. It has nothing to do with ij being a digraph, the following are also digraphs au, ou, ei, eu,... in Dutch. You don't write AU or OU at the beginning of a sentence or in a name.
