Arbitrators' opinion on hearing this matter (0/0/0/0)


As one can see, the last page revision of this page was changed by User:Bali_ultimate.

The background is as follows: User: RGTraynor User_talk:RGTraynor was invited to review and improve. It appears that given past experiences on this subject (see old Afds) User: RGTraynor asked for some guidance at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Royalty_and_Nobility#Maltese_nobility_redux.

Instead, an over-enthusiastic User:Bali_ultimate went along to tear everything up into this version, not to mention his inappropriate language.

All this is most unacceptable.

As for references, please care to read the publications cited in the last version before it was so callously vandalised as well as the links to the pdf docs which are readily available on line. Such a shame that Wikipedia is at the mercy of "editors" who shoot from their hip.

Given these unfortunate circumstances, no attempt is being made to resolve the dispute and an arbitration is being requested. This request applies to all other reverts made by User:Bali_ultimate and User: RGTraynor.

I apologise if I haven't filled this form out properly and I wait in hope that someone else will rearrange the format.

Thank you.

The Maltese nobility is the aristocracy which has historically ruled over Malta or owned parts of the islands under foreign rule. It now consists of those titles of nobility recognised by the United Kingdom and those titles never presented to, or failed recognition by, the Royal Commission. These titles are of historical relevance, and constitute foreign titles which were either confirmed or inherited by a person of Maltese descent. Following Roman and Byzantine statesmen, the nobility in Malta started from the earliest times with the Normans, and all succeeding rulers thereafter. The Maltese nobility also included those who settled from other parts of Europe maintaining their ancient rights.

When Tsar Paul I had become Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller following the fall of the island to Napoleon in 1798, he asked for a group of Maltese gentleman to serve and continue the connection with Malta. This group was ennobled and settled in Russia. Descendants of the Maltese nobility existed in Russia until the fall of the Empire in 1918.

Titles consist of princes, dukes, marquises, counts, barons, hereditary patriciates from Italian states and hereditary knighthoods from the Holy Roman Empire.
