Name in English

edit

Is there a standard name that this gentleman is known by in English? I notice that his name in the title is 'Frederick Francis', yet he's referred to as 'Friedrich Franz' throughout the article. Surely the name used in both the title and article should be the same. Jammycaketin (talk) 21:24, 20 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Mecklenburg v Mecklenburg-Schwerin

edit

I've just noticed that the '-Schwerin' has been removed from the article's title, but it still remains in the article's opening sentence. Which is correct? Why has [-Schwerin] been placed in square brackets? Also, it would be helpful if reasons/references could be given to explain why one title is favoured over the other. 'Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin' currently seems to be used in other Wikipedia articles (such as in the Mecklenburg-Schwerin article), so there's no obvious justification for the recent article move. This is exactly what the talk page is for, yet no one seems to want to use it. Jammycaketin (talk) 17:51, 10 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
