presumptive vs. apparent
I have read heir apparent and heir presumptive, and it does seem you are confusing one for the other (or Wikipedia's articles on them are wrong). -- Curps 11:32, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
you are quite correct; my apologies.
By the way, if you are a new user, you can sign your comments on a talk page by adding four tildes: ~~~~ , which the software automatically converts into a signature and a timestamp, similar to what appears at the end of this sentence. Curps 11:39, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
I used the automatic reversion tool on you; I apologise, I shouldn't have - I should have manually reverted you. Please do not revert others without comment.
As I said, her useage of DoR in Scotland is exactly the same as Diana's - she is not changing anything.

Mountbatten-Windsor
I shortened your explaination that sometimes the Prince of Wales uses the name Mountbatten-Windsor. The beauty of Wikipedia is the ability to hyperlink from one topic to other and not require extensive duplication of information. Both the Mountbatten and Mountbatten-Windsor articles could use the sort of improvement you seem to be adding to the articles of individual members of those families. -Acjelen 18:36, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Re: Fawzia of Egypt / unnecessary AMBIGUITY
What do you mean by ".......SECOND and last Shah of Iran"? Second of Pahlavi Dynasty would make sense but during 2500 years of Monarchy, Iran was surely ruled by more than 2 shahs, one would suppose. If reference is to IRAN vs Persia, than note that IRAN has always been IRAN from Iranian perspective. Persis/Persia are mere European Names applied to it. Please resolve ensuing ambiguity and delete the term SECOND in this context from the article. --Pantherarosa 08:36, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Duchess of Cornwall
As the difference of views over the article Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall has been rather difficult to resolve, I have created a poll on the talk page. I think you might be interested in voting. -- Emsworth 19:57, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Ingrid of Sweden
Your move of Ingrid of Sweden to Princess Ingrid of Sweden was incorrect. Wikipedia naming conventions rightly place former queens back to their old title minus the word 'princess'. That is standard naming practice used by historians worldwide. Hence historians and wikipeida have Catherine of Aragon not Princess Catherine of Aragon, Mary of Teck not Princess Mary of Teck, etc. If you have changed any other royal spouses in error like this please return them to the correct name format.

- I will be happy to change anything I may have done in error. Mowens35 23:39, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Moving of several articles about consorts
Just a quick suggestion: if you're going to move an article, please make sure there aren't any redirects that point to redirects (i.e. if you go to Silvia Sommerlath, you're redirected to a redirect, which can be irritating to average users). These aren't fixed automatically by the "Move" function and must be done manually by the person who made the move. Thanks. 青い(Aoi) 04:11, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I've noticed you've been renaming queen consort articles to their appropriate title names as per Wiki convention. I've noticed Olga, Queen of Greece is also incorrect, would you suggest moving it to Grand Duchess Olga Konstantinova of Russia, because I wasn't sure? Craigy 21:19, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Wiki convention is to not use titles when writing article titles for former queens consort. She would have to be Olga Konstantinova of Russia Mowens35 21:48, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
That pouch
Mitchell, thanks for the email about the pouch quote. Please see my response at Talk:Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark#That pouch. Peter Ellis 14:51, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
location of royal births and deaths
It is standard policy here not to put in the locations of the births and deaths between the birth and death years. That is because, in a debate quite a long time ago, it was judged that it would make the opening paragraph just too complicated to read. The form used is simply <style> <name> (<birth>-<death>). Other information can be put elsewhere but the opening lines should be very easy to read. You may not realise that. I thought I'd better let you know. FearÉIREANN 22:43, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
