[edit] Edit request from Carlfraley, 20 September 2011

As the male-line granddaughter of a King of Hanover, Queen Victoria also bore the titles of Princess of Hanover and Duchess of Brunswick and Lunenburg

Carlfraley (talk) 07:33, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

I guess she did, but I've never seen it written as such. DrKiernan (talk) 08:32, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed. Dynamic|cimanyD contact me ⁞ my edits 19:39, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Changing name of article from "Queen Victoria" to "Victoria of the United Kingdom"

in keeping consistency with other articles regarding british monarchs, the title of this article should be changed to "Victoria of the United Kingdom" not titled "Queen Victoria" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gai831 (talkcontribs) 01:54, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

See Talk:Queen Victoria/Article title. DrKiernan (talk) 07:13, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Edit request from , 11 October 2011

Queen Elizabeth II's reign has not exceeded Queen Victoria's as stated in this article. Queen Elizabeth II has only reigned 58 years so far. Gaia0808 (talk) 21:59, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Gaia0808 (talk) 21:59, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

THe article says "Victoria reigned for a total of 63 years, seven months and two days making her the longest-reigning British monarch, and was the longest-lived until surpassed by Elizabeth II". that is that Elizabeth is now older than Victoria was when she died, not that she has reigned longer. IdreamofJeanie (talk) 22:12, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
Not to nitpick excessively or anything, but at the time of your request, hadn't Elizabeth II's reign been 59 years, not 58? (That would explain why her Diamond Jubilee is this year.) 198.151.130.35 (talk) 22:26, 7 February 2012 (UTC)



Does that really need to be changed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fryb42 (talkcontribs) 00:14, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Minor Edit Request

In the marriage section on the fourth line, in her quote the word "shocking" is spelled incorrectly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Obeybooks (talkcontribs) 00:45, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

The misspelling is in the original, as indicated by the [sic] notation, and thus ought not to be changed. Alkari (?), 8 November 2011, 02:54 UTC

[edit] Edit request on 6 February 2012

Indian Rebellion of 1857 should be replaced with Indian revolution of 1857

59.185.103.70 (talk) 21:56, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

This has been discussed extensively at Talk:Indian Rebellion of 1857. DrKiernan (talk) 22:03, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
