Editing Template

Having difficulties fixing the Template on English, Scottish and British Monarchs.

There needs to be a section dubbed British Monarchs after the Acts of the Union 1800 moving from George III to George V. After that another section dubbed British Monarchs after the Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927, moving from George V to Elizabeth II.

Much appreciated if you may edit this function for me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrsolan22 (talk • contribs) 22:03, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

I've looked into it, and believe I've found a way of doing it. A problem I do see though is that if we break up the final section, other editors will want to break it up further using the Statute of Westminster 1931 or the Royal Titles Act 1953 as other break points. I fear that would make for an ugly template. Navboxes are supposed to be as simple as possible but this has the potential to introduce great complexity. Is it really necessary to split the final section into three or more very short sections? If you do want to pursue it, then I suggest starting a discussion on the talk page to gauge how much support the idea has. DrKiernan (talk) 22:21, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Funeral of Diana

Hi! I wanted to make a guest list for the article about the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales. I really like to know that did any person from foreign royal families attend her funeral expect Queen Noor of Jordan? And did all members of the British Royal Family attend her funeral?

I think the King of Spain, Princess Margriet of the Netherlands, the King of the Hellenes, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Japan attend the ceremony. Is there anybody else? Keivan.f 18:35, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't know who went, but note the Washington Post source used in the article says specifically that the Japanese "were invited but will not attend". Receiving an invite is not the same as attending. DrKiernan (talk) 18:46, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Does the Washington Post source show a complete list of geusts? If it doesn't, so is there any source expect Washington Post to show a full list of guests? Or maybe a user who knows about this event? Keivan.f 16 December 2013

I don't see one online but I suspect the newspapers of the time printed a list. DrKiernan (talk) 21:32, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

So, I should find it in newspapers. Can I find these newspapers in pdf files on internet?

Also, I'm trying to find the names of the patronages held by Diana, Princess of Wales. Do you know some sources which contain information about her patronages? Keivan.f 17:39, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

If you can't find it, it might indicate that the content is not notable. She probably had hundreds of patronages: most royals do. DrKiernan (talk) 17:56, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

You said I should find list of geust in newspapers of that time. Can I find these newspapers in pdf files on internet? How can I find them? Keivan.f 19 December 2013

I tried a google search but couldn't see anything. DrKiernan (talk) 18:46, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

Please explain to me why it is incorrect to list Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge as "Princess William" and why it is acceptable to list Sophie, Countess of Wessex as "The Princess Edward" or Katherine, Duchess of Kent as "Princess Edward" ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claytnb (talk • contribs) 13:59, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

None of the sources (of which there are 4) give that full style for Catherine, in fact two explicitly say she does not use it and never has. Sophie's style is sourced to her official page. DrKiernan (talk) 14:10, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale

This is a note to let the main editors of Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on January 8, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/January 8, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale (1864–92) was a member of the British Royal Family. He was the eldest son of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) and Alexandra, Princess of Wales (later Queen Alexandra), and the grandson of the reigning monarch, Queen Victoria. From the time of his birth, he was second in the line of succession to the throne, but he did not become king because he died before his father and his grandmother. He travelled the world extensively as a naval cadet and joined the army, but did not undertake any active military duties. After two unsuccessful courtships, he was engaged to be married to Mary of Teck in late 1891. Just a few weeks later, he died in an influenza pandemic. Mary later married his younger brother, George, who became King George V in 1910. Albert Victor's intellect, sexuality and sanity have been the subject of much speculation. Rumours in 1889 linked him with the Cleveland Street scandal, which involved a homosexual brothel, but there is no conclusive evidence verifying or disproving them. Some authors have argued that he was the serial killer known as Jack the Ripper but the claim is widely dismissed. (Full article...)
