Talk:Elizabeth Alexeievna (Louise of Baden)

Untitled
IMO those parenthetical disambiguations are messy. As this "Elisabeth Alexeyevna (Louise of Baden)" is already very close to Elisabeth Alexeievna of Baden, please move this to that heading. Unnecessary to use parentheses when one word, "Baden", instead, makes the same. 217.140.193.123 16:54, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

I find the present title acceptable, and preferable to that suggested above by an anonymous user. Deb 17:52, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

If people want to move pages around, that's fine, it's allowed. But if you know a move is going to be controversial, get consensus first. These serial moves are getting beyond a joke, particularly when the people who carry them out don't bother to check the links or clear up the double redirects. Deb 23:10, 17 September 2005 (UTC)


 * The correct way for this title is "Louise of Baden (Elizabeth Alexeievna)". Having her birth name in front and the name she accepted in Russia in parentheses. Popov 2000

Eldest Sister
Quote: "Catherine invited the two eldest unwed Princesses"

Wasn't her eldest sister, Amalie, unwed? Cladeal832 (talk) 15:22, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

In fact all sisters were unmarried when two of them: Louise, age 14, and Frederica, age 11, were invited to Russia in 1792. Correction has been made.

Elizabeth Alexeievna (Louise of Baden) → Elizabeth Alexeievna — No reason for any disambiguator here (unqualified title seems unique). Kotniski (talk) 06:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. Propaniac (talk) 15:00, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually I'm not sure myself now, since it seems the bit in brackets isn't intended as a disambiguator, but as a kind of substitute surname. (This seems to be what's done for tsarinas - see discussion at WT:NCROY and the currently fluid wording of the "Consorts" section of that guideline).--Kotniski (talk) 10:31, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose Kotniski's belated doubts are substantially correct. All the tsarinas have a common form, which combines the two names (each of which is sometimes ambiguous) by which they are known. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 04:12, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

The rug pictured in need of a reference has the following inscription (transcribed in today's Cyrillic): То свято место где ты молилась 1826 года. This is an allegorical paraphrase of the Biblical "The place whereon thou standest is holy ground" [Exod. 3:5] and can be translated into King James' English as "That is Holy Ground whereon thou hast prayed. 1826.", thus preserving the intended Bibilical nuance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gvshkurkin (talk • contribs) 22:57, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Not in WP:POLAND scope
Just like with Russian tsars. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk to me 19:11, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
