Alternatively use {{delete}} rather than {{vfd}} if the article is to be speedily deleted. -- Francs2000 | Talk

No probs. Interesting website by the way. What are your genealogical sources? -- Francs2000 | Talk

Regarding my website - sources too numerous to mention - both dead tree and online. This is the area that interests me most. I hope to enhance the royalty/nobility articles from a genealogy perpective - adding small descendency trees or ahnentafels. --Richhil 23:34, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Best of luck with it, it's a subject I find fascinating too. I've been starting to create articles for some of the redlinks at Line of succession to the British Throne, for instance -- Francs2000 | Talk

styles

One of the arguments I heard put forward was that it enabled people to know what style was applied to an individual monarch when they were alive. There were two debates on the issue here. One decided to put in styles. The other, started by those wanting to remove them, degenerated into a verbal bloodbath. To stop the squabble a temporary solution was followed: those with styles in kept them. Those that didn't, didn't. In a few years on Wikipedia I never came across a debate like the horror last April. It was like a civil war. As Victoria has a style put in, to avoid triggering off another round, it is best to leave it in for the moment. Because of the sheer awfulness and bitterness of the debate in April, it is probably wise not to visit the issue for the moment. (BTW be warned: a banner user keeps revisiting the Victoria page and that of other 20th century monarchs, and deleting styles to try to reignite the war. So if you see an edit war erupting, it is just that pillock on the rampage again!)
