[edit] Requested move

Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld → Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld = Rationale: WP standards for the naming of royals dictate that "Name of Place" is used for consorts and sovereigns. Victoria was neither. Charles 22:24, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Miscellany

Is "Viktoria" Wikipedia style? --Henrygb 09:21, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

You know, I've never seen it spelled that way in reference to this person. I'll check up on it.--Marysunshine 23:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I've just checked the page history, and it was created as "Viktoria" and then moved to "Victoria" in 2005, but the spellings remained the same. I've also done a cursory search of various genealogical sources, and they unanimously refer to her as "Victoria." The biographies I've read of Queen Victoria do the same, so I've taken the liberty of changing it. Marysunshine 23:17, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] death

Is it really proper to list her death as having taken place at "Frogmore house" rather than "Windsor" or an actual incorporated place?--Dmz5 05:30, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

"Windsor" implies that she died at Windsor Castle. I've tweaked the prose to show that the house was near Windsor. PeterSymonds | talk 10:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
