Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Royalty and Nobility


Hi, I'm often seeing that many of pages on various Wikipedias are named Foo of Bar (in which foo is a royal or noble title, and Bar the area that title applied to), but also include a List of foos of Bar. This makes such pages both an article about what the title means and the history of the title, and then a list of people who held that title. In a way, that makes them halfway houses between articles and lists, which is quite annoying for categorisation and linking purposes. I myself am somewhat guilty in participating in this, leading to an issue at Wikidata. So how do I prevent such issues, and (help) solve existing issues?

At what point should we separate the list of holders from the title article? For example, the lead sections of Duke of Brabant and Count of Flanders may still be acceptable, but Grand Prince of Vladimir#Overview and Grand Prince of Kiev#Background (a lot of which I added myself) seems to be quite a lot. How about Count of Holland, which has two sections that are not entirely devoted to a list of holders? Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 14:09, 21 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I was looking through Wikimedia and found charters of Philip VI of France, Charles V of France, and Charles VI of France. They all have the kings seals but they also have what looks like signatures beside the seals. Are those the signatures of the kings? ✠ Robertus Pius ✠ (TalkContribs) 19:24, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Is an infant with a regent considered a ruler? See for instance Chuzi II, who I presume his mother was the regent. Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 04:29, 15 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
