Talk:Hereditary Kingdom of Norway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Mistitled?

I think an article that explains the twist and turns of how the throne to Norway was inherited is an interesting subject, but I think the title is misleading. This isn't about the kingdom of Norway, but rather the way the monarchy was inherited or in some cases hijacked, whatever your point of view is. Since we have articles on the monarchy of Norway, lists, etc., this article should rather discuss the transitions and peculiarities of the monarchy. I'll be editing on that basis, but we need to have a discussion on the title. --Leifern 13:55, May 8, 2005 (UTC)

Where is the article of "Monarchy of NOrway" (I haven't found such)??

Well, in my opinion, all possible othe titles for this sort of article are at least as bad as this, and probably worse. For example, "List of Monarchs" is even worse title for this content than the present. Does anyone have any GOOD suggestions for the title?

The idea seems to be the hereditary nature of the Norwegian throne throughout centuries. It is a thread that does not get its due as small sentences all around the "history of Norway", rather it is a good idea to make a specific article to explain the general outline of that particular phenomenon.

Norway was an oddity among its neighbors, all others were elective. Thus this spöecial feature deserves a concise presentation, with lots of examples.

One possibility is to have an article about Monarchy of Norway, which should give the background (I think this aryticle is quite a good for that background) as well as monarchy today, its today trappings, finances, constitutional and emotional position, royal pictures, wedding and birth hypes, etc, whatever. But is there readiness to produce such contents of today? And, if such is made, then, does these two things: history and today, confuse if they are put into one article? And, will it be too long? 213.243.191.218 19:16, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-up

I took the liberty of cleaning up this somewhat confusing article
