Talk:Anna of Russia

Old talk
"foolish and ignorant maids" "struggle on the part of Russia to cover her 'natural and legitimate' southern boundaries " This is not NPOV...
 * This is the phrasing of the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, so you have to live with it... --Ghirlandajo 12:56, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

That it was in the 1911 EB doesn't make it NPOV. One can hardly call lands which had been occupied by Turks for almost 1,000 years the natural and legitimate southern boundaries of Russia.Chegitz guevara 18:40, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Ghirlando: We don't have to "live with" anything. The 1911 Encyclopeida is a source. Anyone is free to edit it.

Chegitz: Edit!

Oh, and what the hell does "died of surfeit" mean?

Not enough
For some reason, I couldn't find a single mention of Anna in any paper encyclopedias.

Anna Ivanovna and the Ice Palace
The history of the Ice Palace does not at all match the one in the [|Ice Palace] Article. In either case, the truth of the two should be verified and the [|Ice Palace] article should be considered as a stub of this article. -- Cyrillika 17:47 GMT+1, 20 December 2005

Anna or Anne?
Anne is the english version of her name. Why is her name germanized on this Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.250.113.213 (talk) 15:11, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Germanised? Hardly.  Anna was her Russian name, and she's much more often known as Anna than as Anne in English-speaking countries. --  JackofOz (talk) 09:45, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Reign as Duchess of Courland 1711-1730
Why did she became Regent in Courland? What was her status? Was she declared a monarch, a regent, or a governor?--85.226.42.215 (talk) 21:45, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Anna of Russia → Anna, Empress of Russia – per WP:NCROY where it is specified that when a nation had one monarch bearing a specific name, the format John, King of England or Anne, Queen of Great Britain is preferred. – Relisted Armbrust, B.Ed.

 * Oppose The article should remain as it is. I don't like this policy. The newly inflicted policy has not taken root on Wikipedia. I see many articles like Joanna of Castile and many others. I feel a full discussion listing all these articles should be made, but I will still oppose it. I have a feeling that this discussion isn't going to attract much attention. --The Emperor&#39;s New Spy (talk) 04:25, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Support. Greater clarity and ties in with the convention for dukes, etc, used by many sources. The current title begs the question "Anna, what of Russia?". --Bermicourt (talk) 05:27, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Idiotic policies leading to unnecessary complications should be ignored. --Ghirla-трёп- 08:55, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Her son - John Julius Angerstein?
Per Wikipedia's page on John Julius Angerstein, his family tradition holds that his biological parents were Anna of Russia and the London businessman, Andrew Poulett Thompson. Does anyone think this should be mentioned on Anna's page? There doesn't seem to be any evidence to support such a relationship, just "family tradition." June w (talk) 02:40, 9 March 2013 (UTC) -

Recursive and Unreliable Sources
This Wikipedia page links back to the Factinate site "Unhinged Facts About Anna Of Russia, The Mad Tsarina" which is a very pulpy and uncredible trivia site. The Factinate page also links back to Wikipedia as a source, which confuses the point of origin for much of this information. Blightmorde (talk) 21:12, 10 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Should remove content sourcing from a site like that, definitely Danial Bass (talk) 21:32, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
