Alexandra of Edinburgh

I was actually a proponent of moving Alexandra's and her sisters' pages because what is used for them is not necessarily how they are titled here on Wikipedia. Alexandra's father may have been the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and she a princess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, however, Alexandra is most commonly referred to as Princess Alexandra of Edinburgh. It would make sense to refer to her simply as Princess Alexandra of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha or even Princess Alexandra of Edinburgh and of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, but we can't go back and tell people to call her that. It has been established by time that the princess is most known as Princess Alexandra of Edinburgh. You must remember, she was only the maiden daughter of a duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha for about three years. For 15 years prior, she was known as Princess Alexandra of Edinburgh. That usage was continued.

Honestly, if I did have it my way, she would be Princess Alexandra of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha or Princess Alexandra of Edinburgh, but not both at once. It was never used together. I suggested the moves and it basically went nowhere. You can view that here: Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (names and titles)#Saxe-Coburg & Gotha/Edinburgh. As you can see from the posting by Noel McFerran, the dual designation was never used. I take a lot of what Noel says to be true as he is a university librarian and researches these things.

Christoph of Hesse-Cassel

Victoria was Christoph's great grandmother through this line:

Victoria of the United Kingdom

Victoria, Princess Royal

Princess Margaret of Prussia

Prince Christoph of Hesse-Cassel

I hope this helps. Charles 16:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, Christoph's and Sophie's closest relationship was that of double second cousins once removed. Christoph was a great-grandson of Victoria and Albert while Sophie was a great-great-granddaughter. Christoph was also a great-grandson of Prince William of Hesse-Cassel and Princess Louise Charlotte of Denmark and Norway while Sophie was again a great-great-granddaughter.

No problem... I just have to make a little correction to the above though (William was apparently not the landgrave). Charles 17:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cadet members of the landgravial (Cassel) line were styled Highness, cadet members of the Darmstadt/by Rhine line were styled Grand Ducal Highness. It's a fairly common mistake. That being said, I am absolutely baffled as to why the children of Maurice, Landgrave of Hesse only use Highness rather than Grand Ducal Highness. But that is a nother discussion... Charles 18:20, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem at all... If you ever need help and you think I can provide it, just drop me a message and I'll see hwat I can do. Charles 18:45, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Café Crème

The article was speedy deleted under CSD G11, which states that an article used to endorse or advertise a company or product can be deleted immediately. That's why it didn't go through AfD. If articles are deleted under "CSD..." then that means there was usually no AfD for the article (unless it's CSD G4 which says an article can be deleted if it is recreated after an AfD consensus of delete had been reached). I know it's all confusing, so I suggest just taking a look at WP:CSD instead of listening to my drivel lol. Nishkid 64 18:52, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of CMGL

A tag has been placed on CMGL requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
