This piece of information was discussed before. But can anyone point out to where in the Liechtenstein Princely Family Law does it say that women can reign once all male lines are extinct? Cjrs 79 19:44, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Female succession
Actually Liechtenstein does allow female succession, this may only occur if the male branches of the Princely family die out. This is the type of succession practiced in Luxembourg Mac Domhnaill 21:22, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
Can you show a reference to that? I can show you the link to the princely house law which does not allow such succesion to happen. As you know succesion laws were changed in Luxembourg but never in Liechtenstein. Actually the law in Liechtenstein says that ONLY voting memeber of the princely family association can be Reigning Prince, and as of today only men are voting members. Moreover, it states that the Reigning Prince may aodpt another male to continue the dinasty. I wold really appreciate it if you could show a reference to your comment. Take Care.

It states [[1]] and in many other sources, that only those who have the right to vote can succeed to the throne. In Liechtenstein, women have the right to vote. I would like to get some info of the Princely' family's official site, but it was not running earlier. But ill try later. Mac Domhnaill 18:49, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Its not about who has a right to vote in the country, but who has a right to vote in the princely family council, in which only women are allowed to vote. The law states "...Only in the case where the male line of the Princely House is to die out may the last Reigning Prince adopt an Hereditary Prince...", moreover Article 9 states: "In matters covered by this Constitution, all male members of the family who are of full age within the meaning thereof (Article 6), who have full legal capacity and who are entitled to succeed to the throne, have the right to vote. " And then Article 12, Section 3 states: "Only persons who have the right to vote and to stand for election within the meaning of this Constitution may succeed to the throne." And Article 1 of that same section states "... 1) Succession to the throne pursuant to this Constitution shall be governed by the principle of primogeniture. This means that the first-born male of the eldest line is always called to succeed to the throne. The age of a dynastic line shall be calculated by reference to descent from Prince Johann I of Liechtenstein (1760-1836)". Notice how section 2 talks about women but only to determine their ranks in the family and not succession rights. lt me know what you think. If I am wrong I am more than welcome to accept it. I might be reading it wrong, or maybe an outdated document. Cjrs 79 21:16, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Inline" honorifics
The guideline (not policy) states that it makes a careful distinction between NOBILITY and ROYALTY. This would be the category of ROYALTY. The paragraph on honorifics for ROYALTY states that honorifics are not to be used to OPEN an article. It says nothing about "inline" (however you interpret that word) in the ROYALTY paragraph, which, as the guideline states, is to be carefully distinguished from the paragraph on NOBILITY guidelines. Case closed. ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 02:00, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Reread the policy; if you feel like debating it, do it on that page; I only came to this one because you linked it and don't want to start an edit war. I believe I am correct in removing all inline honorifics. And they're ugly and their inclusion is unneccessary. Titanium Dragon 00:08, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
