Hey
Hey great work with all your articles they are well researched and interesting reads well done. I notice that when you create an article you include the place of birth and death in the lead, according to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies) the opening paragraph should just include the dates of birth/death and not places. Keep up the good work. - dwc lr (talk) 15:28, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Nice articles
I really like your articles on the Princes and Princesses of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, have you ever thought of creating articles for the members of the Grand Ducal House of Oldenburg or members of the House of Beauharnais?--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 01:27, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Princess Eugenia
Great you created an article for her! Do you know if she was Catholic or Orthodox? And wasn't she sometimes called Eugenia Maximilianovna?--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 23:18, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- I believe she was raised Orthodox (just found it in a new source - I'll add it to the article). And yes, she was also called Eugenia Maximilianovna. I'll add that to the intro. And thanks, it was interesting reading about her. Feel free to jump on any of her siblings (although I've already started one on Maria). They seem to be quite a lively family! Ruby2010 (talk) 23:23, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- -By the way, thanks for adding the pictures. I had trouble tracking them down, so thanks! Ruby2010 (talk) 23:27, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- Aren't her husband's family, the Russian Oldenburgs, Orthodox too and shouldn't it be Duke Alexander Petrovich of Oldenburg instead of Duke Alexander of Oldenburg. Recently I moved all the Russian Oldenburgs to included Russian patroynm to differ them from the German line. The Beauharnais and the Russian Oldenburgs were kind of the Russian prince étranger.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 23:39, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, I suppose calling her husband Duke Alexander Petrovich would be appropriate. I'll add it to the article. I like how you moved those articles by the way, as it is now obvious their the Russian Oldenburgs, compared to their German cousins. I'm sure it's very helpful for newcomers wondering about them. Thanks, Ruby2010 (talk) 23:42, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- Seeing as how you moved those articles, would you recommend I move Eugenia to Princess Eugenia Maximilianovna of Leuchtenberg to differentiate the princess from her cousins? Ruby2010 (talk) 23:45, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- What cousins? Do you mean her aunt Eugénie de Beauharnais? You should move it. I like the patroynm system of titles it tells us she was a Russian royal. Also do you know anything about her hand in the marriage of her son and Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna; in her son's article it says he wad push into marriage due to Eugenia's ambitions. --Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 03:26, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- I know they were a French family, but I said German cousins because technically the title Duke of Leuchtenberg was granted by Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria. Possible cousins (or aunts/uncles) could be Josephine of Leuchtenberg or Auguste de Beauharnais, 2nd Duke of Leuchtenberg. And I haven't seen anything about her son's marriage, but it looks intriguing. Maybe I'll track down the editor of Duke Peter Alexandrovich of Oldenburg's article, and ask them if they could clarify.

Ruby, I just reviewed your article for Princess Maria Maximilianovna of Leuchtenberg and absolutely loved it, as I did with your other recent DYK contributions! As I've always shared with you, I thoroughly enjoy your continuing outstanding contributions to Wikipedia! I just noted on my user page that I've transitioned into a "semi-retired" status on Wikipedia due to the time-consuming stresses of my daily life, but I hope to return in the not too distant future. Your tremendous work has resulted in a wider representation of the ducal and grand ducal families of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, Leuchtenberg, Oldenburg and Baden on Wikipedia and I look forward to what you contribute next! Thanks again for all you do. --Caponer (talk) 16:10, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

DYK nom for Prince Friedrich Christian of Schaumburg-Lippe
Hello. In reviewing your DYK nom for Prince Friedrich Christian of Schaumburg-Lippe, I have become concerned that some of the wording and phrasing in the article is very close to that of the cited sources. As discussed at WP:Copyvio and WP:Close paraphrasing, this can be a serious concern for Wikipedia. I believe that you have worked hard to put the content into your own words, but there is reason for concern when the presentation closely follows the structure of a source and when idiosyncratic wording like "earnestly believed that he was on the verge of" appears in both Wikipedia and a source. Please take a look at Template talk:Did you know#Prince Friedrich Christian of Schaumburg-Lippe, the WP pages I've cited, and the article to see what I'm talking about -- and explore what can be done to render the content in a more original fashion. Thanks! --Orlady (talk) 13:54, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Luise Henriette of Nassau
Just wondering why did you move Countess Luise Henriette of Nassau to Luise Henriette of Nassau? I think only Quees, Empresses and medieval women uses X of Place.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 05:44, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
- I figured Electress is a high enough rank to use X of Place, like with queen or empress. Is there a policy that says they shouldn't be? I'm curious. I just felt that the article should be moved as she was married to the elector of Brandenburg, which was a more important position than a mere duke or prince. Also, there are other examples (like Sophia Dorothea of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg and Elizabeth Charlotte of the Palatinate (1597–1660)). Thanks, Ruby2010 (talk) 05:55, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think there is a rule against it, but it generally only queens or empresses or before titles existed. The Grand Duchesses of Luxembourg are under title name of place, and in my opinion Grand Duchesses are higher than Electresses. And technically speaking her husband is actually Prince-Elector of the HRH, Margrave of Brandenburg; history just tend to mash all the titles of the Electors. Sophia Dorothea is at her title because of the length; notice that I created her sister's article without the Princess. Elizabeth Charlotte is at her title because all Category:House of Palatinate-Simmern have no Countess Palatine X of Place, and it would be wrong to call her "of Simmern" but it would be weirder to call her "of the Rhine". The only Electress of Brandenburg that could follow the "title name of place" format waS Luise and Duchess Anna of Prussia. Also there are many other examples in Electresses of Saxony.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 06:11, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
The Spanish Wittelsbach
Do you know if the grandchildren or great-grandchildren of Prince Ferdinand of Bavaria and Infanta Maria Teresa of Spain are infanta/infante of Spain or Prince/Princess of Bavaria? I know their children were infanta/infante of Spain but not sure if they were recognized as Prince/Princess of Bavaria, and then after his grandchildren I'm not sure even if they have titles. Do you know if either the Spanish Royal Family or the Bavarian Royal Family recognizes this branch which includes: Doña Maria Cristina de Urquijo, Don Fernando and Doña Sofia and their daughter Doña Cristina, and The Marquesa de Castro.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 21:51, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hmmmm....I did a little research, and according to The Peerage, the children of Infante José Eugenio of Spain were infante/infantas of Spain (see: [1]). But it seems they were princes(sses) of Bavaria also (one of the granddaughter's names was Dona Maria Cristina de Baviera y de Mesía, Infanta d'España). The descendants of Infanta Maria de las Mercedes of Spain don't appear to have any titles from Bavaria or Spain (like [2]). But as to official recognition, I am not sure. Hope that helps.
