I note that this article was recently moved from "Maximilian of Mexico" to "Maximilian I of Mexico". Could the reason please be clearly explained here? I presume it is something relevent to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles)? Thanks. Wondering, -- Infrogmation 06:44, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
For monarchs who are the only one of their name, the current policy is:
- Where there has only been one holder of a specific monarchical name in a state, the ordinal is used only when the ordinal was in official use. For example, Victoria of the United Kingdom, not Victoria I of the United Kingdom; Juan Carlos I of Spain, not Juan Carlos of Spain.
I proposed this policy some months ago, and there were no objections, so I changed it some months ago. Maximilian, so far as I can gather, did take the ordinal (see [1] (http://rulers.org/rulm2.html), which is usually reliable). Thus, the ordinal should be in. john k 13:56, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
