Talk:Self-proclaimed monarchy

"In Fiction" relevance

I don't think the "In Fiction" reference to Star Wars adds anything to the article, so I have removed it and put it here. If anyone can give a reason why it should be included, please give it here before readding it.

In Fiction
[edit]

In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Chancellor Palpatine, after being revealed as a Sith Lord, announces to the Senate of the Galactic Republic that the Jedi have been plotting against him, and that the Republic will be reorganized into a Galactic Empire, with himself as emperor.

If and only if at least one other fictional self-proclaimed monarchy can be found, more than one example would warrant an "In fiction" Section. So, let's restore that Section if and when another example is found. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 05:31, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Improving lead

@UtDicitur: Hi, just letting you know I reverted your edit to the lead here. The reason was because some of this information although it sounds very true does not have a source or citation further down in the list. It seems like self proclaimed monarchies don't last long but where would the published source be that verifies this.

I don't have any interest in the information but I copyedited the page a while back would be glad to help. I'll go and look for the source to add so we can put your information in the lead. Would that be ok with you?

I also think that information like that you added could sit well in an introduction section below the lead. Perhaps we can work on that too.

The definition of self-proclaimed monarchy at the start could include figures like William the Conqueror, Peppin the Short and Hugh Capet. Should they be included? PatGallacher (talk) 23:44, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
