Shouldn't you guys be discussing that ancestry table over here? What's it all got to do with me? john k 11:25, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good God

This article looks horrible....the photos are throwing off paragraphs, etc. and causing un-deeded spaces. There are way to many photos.

--Mrlopez2681 04:34, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you're right and I've removed most of the photos from Olga's article and from the other grand duchesses' articles. Rearrange the ones that are left if you want. Layout has never been my strong point. --Bookworm857158367 07:16, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

There is a problem with reference 6 that I can't seem to solve (must be bad syntax or something) please see if you can sort it out. Thanks. DrKiernan 12:09, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image

The image top right in the article (Olgachair.jpg) will be deleted from wikicommons in 7 days because it lacks a source and has an obsolete tag. The image I put in its place is labelled as Nicholas and Olga by the Beinecke collection. If you wish to continue using the image you've selected instead, you need to go to wikicommons and update the tags and source data. DrKiernan 17:27, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

The photo labeled Olgachair is a portrait from the 1913 Tercentary and was published on postcards in numerous countries prior to World War I. It's definitely in the public domain. The photo that you uploaded was incorrectly labeled by the Beinecke Library. It is definitely of Tatiana and not of Olga. I also have seen the image reproduced several times elsewhere and labeled as Tatiana and Nicholas. Take a look at the other portraits of the grand duchesses and it's easy to identify them. --Bookworm857158367 18:43, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Good, 'cause it's a much better picture. I've updated the wikicommons files with your information. DrKiernan 19:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review

Well written, well referenced. Only issue is the two-line section (Rumors of survival) which should probably be folded into the section ahead of it, or expanded to discuss the veracity of the claims. - Mocko13 13:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree and folded the "Rumors of survival" section into the section about "Captivity and death" and also added a line about how historians discount Marga Boodts' claim.--Bookworm857158367 17:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Passed GA. Good work and congratulations. - Mocko13 15:30, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
