Speedy deletion nomination of Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Prince Bernadotte

Hello! As per the specific reading of the lettres patent, Sigvard, Carl Johan & Lennart Bernadotte's personal title of Prince Bernadotte was for them and their wives. They are called Prince and Princess Bernadotte several times in the document. Best wishes, --SergeWoodzing (talk) 11:47, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi SergeWoodzing, this is the literall translation into English of of the lettres patent:

"By extension of the provisions of the grand-ducal decree of April 2, 1892, HRH Madame the Grand Duchess has, according to the decision of July 2, 1951 and by identity of reasons, admitted in the nobility of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg the sons of H.M. Gustave-Adolphe King of Sweden, Sigvard Oscar Frederik Prince Bernadotte, born June 7, 1907, Carl Johan Arthur Prince Bernadotte, born October 31 1916, the nephew of H.M. King Gustave-Adolphe, Gustaf Lennart Nicolas Paul Prince Bernadotte, born on May 8, 1909, their wives and their descendants of both sexes, born and unborn of legitimate marriage. By the same decision the title of Count and Countess of Wisborg was conferred to be worn by the above-named and by all their legitimate descendants, in all places and in all acts, in accordance with the letters patents granted to the Luxembourg Palace on July 2, 1951. July 18, 1951."

As you can read, only Sigvard, Carl Johan and Lennart Bernadotte are styled and acknowledged in this official document with the title of "Prince Bernadotte". Although, not only them, but also their wives and descendants are admitted to the nobility of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg under the title of Count and Countess of Wisborg. But it can be concluded that this lettres patent does not mention at all that their wives are also "Princess Bernadotte". Mr. D. E. Mophon (talk) 21:25, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

In all due respect, that is only a shortened version published as an announcement in a government gazette. You have missed this and this. Do you read French? If not (I have added the bold text):

"We Charlotte by the grace of God Grand Duchess of Luxembourg Duchess of Nassau etc. etc. etc.

To all present and to come: Salutation:

Whereas the decision taken on the second day of April, eighteen hundred and ninety-two by Our revered and unforgettable Grandfather, Grand Duke Adolph, admitting into the Nobility of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg His Nephew Oscar Charles August Prince Bernadotte as well as Princess Ebba Henriette Bernadotte and their descendants of both sexes, born and to be born of legal marriage, giving them additionally the title of Count and Countess of Wisborg, to be borne by them and by all their legitimate descendants, in all places and in all matters;

We being inspired by the intentions that guided Our Grandfather in His lofty decision and wishing, for the same reasons, to give a public sign of Our affection and Our lofty benevolence toward two sons of His Majesty Gustaf Adolf, King of Sweden, being Sigvard Oscar Frederick Prince Bernadotte, born June 7, 1907, and Carl Johan Arthur Prince Bernadotte, born 31 October 1916, as well as toward the nephew of His Majesty King Gustaf Adolf, being Gustaf Lennart Nicolaus Paul Prince Bernadotte, born May 8, 1909;

With regard to Article 40 of the Constitution;

As reported by Our Prime Minister, President of the Government, and after deliberation by the Government in Council;

HAVE ORDERED AND HEREBY ORDER:

We admit into the Nobility of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg Our said dear cousin Sigvard Oscar Frederick Prince Bernadotte and His wife, Our said dear cousin Carl Johan Arthur Prince Bernadotte and His wife, Our said dear cousin Gustaf Lennart Nicolaus Paul Prince Bernadotte and His wife as well as their descendants of both sexes, born and to be born of legal marriage, and We confer additionally upon Them the title of Count and Countess of Wisborg, to be borne by Them and by all Their legitimate descendants, in all places and in all matters;

And so that said Princes and Princesses Bernadotte and Their descendants enjoy without disorder in the dignity of Nobles of Our Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the title of Count and Countess of Wisborg which We have conferred upon them, they use a coat of arms as described and fashioned in the aforementioned order of 2 April 1892: Divided in three by a cross patty of yellow reversed; on the left, divided in three in bands of blue, white and red with a withy of yellow bound and taped in same; on the right, on blue a bridge of three arches white, supporting two towers and moving on a river of same, surmounted by a black eagle grasping yellow lightening horizontally and accompanied above by seven stars of same, forming the constellation of the Great Bear; below, on blue, a white Paschal Lamb passing; the escutcheon surmounted by the ducal coronet such as it actually is borne by the Princes and Princesses Bernadotte, which for their descendants shall be replaced by a coronet of a Count;

We have delivered these Letters Patent.

We ask all Sovereigns and Princes and hereby summon and enjoin the Courts and Tribunals, authorities and public officials and officers of Our Grand Duchy, both for the present and the future, to recognize the said Princes and Princesses Bernadotte as well as Their legitimate descendants as belonging to the nobility of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and to attribute Them the titles and qualifications which they own by virtue of this.

And so that this is something firm and stable for ever, We have signed this and have affixed to it the seal of Our arms.

Our Prime Minister, President of the Government, is responsible for the execution of this decree.

Palace of Luxembourg, the second of July nineteen fifty-one.

CHARLOTTE.

Please stop changing the CWTS Leiden rankings for UK universities using a different scale from the PP (top 10%) specified in the infobox documentation. The changes you are making contradict the consensus given in the documentation. Robminchin (talk) 00:01, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

I literally took it from the source!!! Mr. D. E. Mophon (talk) 00:03, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

The source has three possible scales: P, P (top 10%) and PP (top 10%), referring to the total research output, total research output in the top 10% by citations, and proportion of research output in the top 10% by citations. The PO (top 10%) scale is the one specified in the docs, but you have been substituting in the P scale – which is basically a ranking of universities by size. You need to sort by the PP (top 10%) column by clicking on it or selecting it in the "order by" drop-down menu. Robminchin (talk) 00:09, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Prince Bernadotte (2)

Hello again and thank you for your good work! The wording of Oscar Bernadotte's lettre of patent is identical with those of his grandnephews Sigvard, Carl Johan and Lennart when it comes to the style. Thus, it is not 100% OK to differentiate between the use of the title by the four men and their wives, "created" versus "styled". Oscar II didn't "create" the title either for his son Oscar but gave it to him just as a courtesy title with no status in Swedish nobility or royalty, where is has never been included. In my opinion, and that of Professor Bramstång, Prince Bernadotte is a title in the nobility of Luxembourg, granted equally to Oscar, Sigvard, Carl Johan, Lennart and their wives. There is no other way to read the full text of the documents. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 10:51, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Jaime de Bourbon de Parme, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Celia Homeford (talk) 10:19, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma

Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma. As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes (e.g., st, nd, th), articles, or leading zeros on dates.

For more information about how dates should be written on Wikipedia, please see this page.

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. Thank you. DuncanHill (talk) 19:13, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. You must supply a reference, Common knowledge that Governors-General are styled "Excellency" is not a source

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Meat Loaf, you may be blocked from editing. Sundayclose (talk) 21:00, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Whenever someone suggests that you should read WP:BOOMERANG first, they do not worry about you - they worry about themselves :-). The typical pattern comes down to "Go to WP:ANI but... it is better not to, because you may get into trouble". But your adversary does want you to get into trouble. The only problem is that this is a double-edged sword which can put your adversary into trouble as well.:-) 85.193.252.19 (talk) 03:59, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Titles for Dutch ministers

Dear Mr. D. E. Mophon. I have noticed you have been adding the title "His/Her Excellency" to the articles about Dutch ministers and state secretaries (Vivianne Heijnen, Hans Vijlbrief, Conny Helder, and Mariëlle Paul). Could you please provide a source that this is the official title for Dutch cabinet members? This 2005 news article describes complaints about disrespect by a defense minister who wanted the title "Excellency" to be reinstated. However, it says the the cabinet was not planning to reintroduce it, and I can find no later mention that this is an official title. This article by a language website lists "His/Her Excellency" as a way to address cabinet members, but also does not claim it to be an official title. (it similarly says all lawyers should be addressed with "edelgrootachtbare" and professors with "hooggeleerde"). - Tristan Surtel (talk) 20:41, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Dear Mr. D. E. Mophon. Since I am still not seeing a source for this title, I will remove these again from the pages about Dutch cabinet members. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 18:34, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
