Duke John
Is that so? So who was John VI, Duke of Brittany then? The blue colour of the link should give you a clue. If you are referring to my edit to the Gilles de Rais article, it was explained in the edit summary. Paul B (talk) 11:12, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I am not convinced he should be called John VI. The French Wiki calls him Jean V, the Breton Wiki calls him Yann V. His grandfather was not numbered not because of a French bias, but because there was no peace treaty in his lifetime it was a civil war and nobody was duke of all the Bretons between 1341 and 1364.
 * There is no reference in the Wiki article to justify the name John VI. And in the article about his father the only reference is a book from a well-known specialist who calls his father John IV: "Michael Jones, Ducal Brittany, 1364-1399: relations with England and France during the reign of Duke John IV"  Patris22 (talk) 12:39, 13 March 2013 (UTC)


 * It's not a question of anyone being biassed. It's just that the links should go to the correct articles. I didn't choose to adopt this numbering system. I've no idea who did - whoever created the articles in the first place, I suppose. Yes, a lot of English literature uses the French numbering. The main English language book on John/Jean IV/V (Michael Jones' Ducal Brittany) calls him "John IV". I really don't know what the most common usage is in scholarly or other literature. I have simply tried to ensure that links go to the right articles. Paul B (talk) 12:45, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Usurpation request
I placed an usurpation request to replace this current name Patris22 by the name Pat22 I already use on the French Wiki and Breton Wiki (SUL account). Patris22 (talk) 18:00, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

It has been accepted today, and is now in effect :) Pat22 (talk) 17:45, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
