Is the phrase "pretender to the throne" really NPOV? User:Jwrosenzweig

Someone who is the legal claimant to an abolished throne is formally called a pretender to the throne. It is perfectly NPOV and widely used on wiki. We have a page somewhere with a full list of all major pretenders, including the Comte de Paris for France, Victor Emmanuel, Prince of Naples for Italy, the O'Conor Don for Ireland, etc. Some republics even give diplomatic passports to the pretender to their abolished thrones.

(See pretender for more, incidentally --Camembert)

Thanks--having read the pretender article clarifies it for me. I guess I'd always seen the term negatively, but it seems that's an incorrect usage. I'll remember to use the word neutrally in future. Thanks again, Jwrosenzweig 21:36 18 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Serb leaders were scared and did not care about the Yugoslavian people, so they fled and took all the gold with them. Tito saved our country.
