Talk:Marie Anne Éléonore de Bourbon

Latest comment: 5 years ago by Operator873 in topic Moving (Again)


There was very, very little need to move this page certainly to the present and incorrect title.

  1. It clearly states on the page she signed with the names Marie Gabrielle Éléonore.
  2. You can hardly argue with a signature written by the person being discussed, dead or not.
  3. Every single other article regarding this lady (except the enwiki one which is misleading in itself) follows the Marie Gabrielle Éléonore pattern.
  4. There was no need to move it in the first place. As noted all but one page stats the Marie Gabrielle Éléonore. I don't understand why people can't just leave things alone. Less is more.
  5. Why is it now considered okay to present readers with blatantly wrong information?

Moving (Again) change

Ok, if someone intends on using the "common name" argument again, you may care to look at other Wikipedia projects that have artiocles regarding this lady, because all but two refer to her as Marie Gabrielle Éléonore (en and de do not.) so that surely eliminates that argument?


  • One can hardly disregard the signature written by her own hand, she is going to have known her own name.
  • Why complicate things? Wikipedia is supposed to be an Encyclopedia, so why would you willingly present the reader with information, that when scrutinised is totally wrong? Surely that is contradictory to the entire Raison d'Être of Wikipedia? 79.76.132.169 (talk) 18:53, 5 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
