Talk:Queen Catherine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please stop mucking up this disambiguation page. Your contributions of new information are welcome, but your changing the existing information to make it contrary to Wikipedia conventions is malicious. Before you add something, please review the naming and other conventions and either make your new material consistent with the existing entries or change all the existing entries to make them consistent with your new format. In particular:
- We use the most common English version, and that's "Ekaterina", not "Yekaterina" (check it on Google if you don't already know that) -- this is not the place to make an ass of yourself if you don't like those conventions.
- This is a disambiguation page, so don't put in alternative names and other info -- that goes in the article for the person.
- There are plenty of webpages that call the Russian ones "Queen Catherine", so they go on this list to disambiguate them, but if you insist on taking out the "queen", then take them off the list, because the list is of "Queen Catherine"s, not "Empress Catherine"s or "Czarina Catherine"s.
- They're in chronological order by birthdate, not the order they married Henry VIII in, because the idea is for someone who doesn't yet know who they are can find them.
- Don't create links on them if you don't have enough info to make an article for them, because they probably don't merit one, and if they already have links, use them. -- Isis09:29 Jan 15, 2003 (UTC)
Look, you are once again seeing "malice" where none exist. It is you who is making an jackass of herself.
I've checked Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (anglicization) - what I had there was entirely consistent with what was written there.
Yekatarina is the name used elsewhere in Wikipedia. For example, check out the Romanov article. I see nothing wrong with listing her alternate name here.
The two Catherines of Russia were Empresses, and stating that they were queens is quite simply wrong.
Just accept the changes, OK? Arno
