The proposal is now that the article stays at Philip III, Duke of Burgundy (altered the wording to correspond current reality Arrigo 19:21, 2 September 2005 (UTC))Reply

Under the usual interpretation of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles), we almost always use ordinals in the page name and list by-names like "Philip the Good" in the first line.Choess 16:56, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

Support or Oppose, an optional brief reasoning, and your sig with four tildes
  1. Support. Systematic naming is helpful, and also presumably prevents POV. As he was the third of that name in a succession (within a century), systematical name is easy. Arrigo 17:19, 2 September 2005 (UTC)Reply
  2. Support. Philip Baird Shearer 17:52, 2 September 2005 (UTC)Reply
  3. Support. – AxSkov () 05:50, 3 September 2005 (UTC)Reply
  1. Oppose Philip the Good and Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy are both much clearer identification to most readers:
  2. Oppose Philip the Good is by far most used to refer to this person, and conforming to general wikipedia Naming Conventions --Francis Schonken 09:35, 3 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Reasons for renaming this article Philip the Good

edit
  • The title Philip III is not used in historiography.
  • Philip the Good is not only duke of Bourgondia. He is also duke of Brabant, Lothier and Limburg (second of the name Philip) and duke of Luxemburg (first of this name).
  • The title Philip III creates confusion with the chronology of the Kings of Spain, which ruled in the Netherlands after the Bourgondians.
  • The chronology of the kings/dukes/counts of Bourgondia is subject to criticism.
  • On the French and Dutch Wikipedia similar discussion as resulted in assigning a redirect to Philip III towards the main article Philip the Good. Witger 08:05, 2 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Philip III, Duke of BurgundyPhilip the Good – The current title is rarely, if ever used; the replacement, however, is the most common name used. Michael Sanders 22:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Burial place

edit

This article says that the tomb (or burial site) of Philips the good should be found in Dijon. I couldn't find any proof for this statement. The Dukes that have been buried in Champnol are John the fearless and Philips the bold. Mary of Burgundy and Charles the bold have both been buried in Bruges.

  • See the lengthy account in the link [1] He was initially buried in St Donatien Bruges, then moved in 1473 to Champmol in accordance with the wishes he had expressed. Various bits (heart & viscera) stayed in St Donatien until desecrated in the Revolution. For once the disinformation box is correct!Johnbod 13:21, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Bladestorm images

edit

FWIW, I believe the inclusion of "Bladestorm" images in this and other articles contravenes Wikipedia:Undue weight. It seems unlikely that that game represents the principal cultural impact of these figures; the "Cultural Portrayal" sections seem to have been created to promote the game rather than discuss the cultural impact of the subject. The images may be appropriate for a gallery on Commons, but I see no reason to place them in individual articles at present. Choess (talk) 04:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I concur: either Commons or a sub-page called 'Trivia' would be preferable to having such inappropriate (have you seen the costume designed for this figure? Talk about anachronism - and bad taste!) images- and associated articles - here. Nick Michael (talk) 05:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well considering that Philip's appearance in video games is one of the few portrayals that he has made within culture, naturally my course of action does not emphasis a level of biasism, nor is it "undue weight" for the article -- such would only be the case if the category had the potential to expand in its cultural references, which it evidently cannot. There is also nothing heavily controversial as to why an image would be portrayed as representing this information, considering that it adds to its presentation and can elaborate criticism -- something that I have shown, which is appropriate to the standards set by Wikipedia. Therefore, the action I have taken is clearly not for the sake of promoting Bladestorm in the sense that I am showing biasism, for obviously I am showing Philip's cultural impact upon video games, and would elaborate his references if it were possible. In resolution, what I am doing is a correct course of action towards the article, and I can't be blamed for promoting a game when it is the only evidential reference that has been elaborated within culture. User:Exiled Ambition 26 January (EST)

In a justifiable resolution to these circumstances, I will start off by bringing back my cultural referencing of Bladestorm, without its respective image, for the image seems to be the only factor that another user can use to state as if it represents some form of biasism, even though that is obviously not the case.

Louisa of Burgundy

edit

A page had recently been created, Louisa of Burgundy. The article states that Louisa was daughter of Philip by his third wife, Isabella. Louisa isn't however mentioned anywhere on Philip or Isabella's articles. Did Louisa exist or was she illegitimate, daughter of Michelle of Valois or daughter of Bonne of Arois. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.42.22.16 (talk) 10:26, 13 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Titles

edit

in the section Titles there is a lot of 15 July mentioned - but he died on 15 June according to this article (also in the french version of the article). Do someone like to change this or got this a special reason? -- Hartmann Schedel Prost 11:11, 12 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Illegitimate Issue

edit

Just wondering how you can have 18 children by 24 women -- that's real teamwork! But at least it is referenced. :-) 134.243.204.95 (talk) 21:21, 16 March 2011 (UTC)sammayReply

now " by various of his twenty-four documented mistresses " Johnbod (talk) 14:08, 17 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
As I type this the article says "He was married three times, and had three sons, only one of whom reached adulthood. He had 24 documented mistresses and fathered at least 18 illegitimate children." However, the info-box at the right lists many more sons than three. If he married and had three sons BY HIS WIVES, i.e. had LEGITIMATE sons numbering only three, say that and say it clearly. An illegitimate son is in most cases in the English language still "a son".2600:1700:6759:B000:3451:CD8:7B65:E58E (talk) 04:48, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence SimpsonReply
Clarified now in the lead, and explained better in the lower-down "Marriages and legitimate children" section. Thanks for raising. Ceoil (talk) 22:04, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Main image

Why was the page image changed to this obscure one from the common Renaissance depiction of him? Kind Regards, NotAnotherNameGuy (talk) 00:16, 11 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
