Talk:Dynastic Orders of Knighthood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just wikified the article, adding a bunch of links. I also did some quick fact checking to see see if the work was correct and also tried to see if it was a copywrited entry, finding that the article was both correct and at the very least not taken verbatim from something google can find.

[edit] Russian order of St. John

For anonymous. Russian order of St. John is not dynastic, because is not bestoved by Head of House on her own right (is not her property). Dynastic orders of Romanov House are St. Stanislaus, St. Anna,St. George and St. Catherine, but St. John is not. Please, first read some books, as World Orders of Knighthood and Merit, before make some spurious and amateurish statements. Yopie 04:07, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Citations

This is an interesting article, but it could do with some citations. Also, and perhaps relatedly, I'd like clarification within the article of an assertion made throughout the article: it says that when a sovereign ceases to be head of state they take their fons honorum powers of their dynastic orders with them but not their state orders (the real Order of the Octopus, or whatever, is something that is awarded by the von Smith family, and so even if they're not still kings of Ruritania they can still give it out). Fine. But the article goes on to say They cannot, moreover, found new Dynastic Orders. Why can't they? Who is making this rule, and what will happen to the von Smiths if they decide to do it anyway? (And relatedly, if there's no penalty for the von Smiths to make up new dynastic orders, is there any reason other people shouldn't too?) The Wednesday Island (talk) 18:06, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More Dynastic Orders

There are many more dynastic orders not currently listed. I would like to work with a fellow Wikipedian on this topic. Please contact me.
