I did some minor work on the article, but I don't think I'll be translating everything so soon, I already have a to-do list at this Wikipedia and at the Portuguese one, and specially because history and princes' biographies aren't really my fields of interest. Try adding a request to WikiProject Brazil's talk page to get more editors' attention, if many people work together, this page will be complete really soon.

"Move to Archduke Johann Salvator of Austria"

• There was a mistake with the template, please read the request.

Hi there. Are you saying "Archduke Johann Salvator of Austria (Johann Orth) → Archduke Johann Salvator of Austria" isn't what you were proposing (and what people appeared to support)..? CsDix (talk) 16:09, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

...I think, therefore, I will need to ask someone to repair the name. To ensure this is done correctly, what is the title you believe the article should now have? CsDix (talk) 21:56, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

there is no reason to impoverish articles because it does not suit you personally, wikipedia is a public organization where all help is welcome as well as additional info included by other users since it is apparently well done it is ok, thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanskirkegaard (talk • contribs) 02:07, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I recently started a Requested move here, maybe you're interested. Moagim (talk) 13:34, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

The British dukes have categorized numerically for a long time now.[1] There must be hundreds of articles involved. I don't see any benefit to removing the category values, although you are of course free to do so. I had nothing to do with creating them, so I would appreciate it if you kept my name out of the edit summaries.[2] Kauffner (talk) 15:58, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

I added the boxes for the Dukes of Brittany template for the Viking Occupation and for the Breton War of Succession. You decided to add back Gourmaelon. Can you provide a reliable source for this entry ? Did he actually exist ? In addition the template now lists two Alan III's . The second one is a well documented figure. Does the first one exist? was he really Alan "III" or was he some other ALAIN or something similar? If we can establish their real existence with your help I will take the step of creating a wiki article on each one so that we have consistency across the now widening Duchy of Brittany project.

Translate fr:Gourmaëlon and fr:Alain de Bretagne. The French are inconsistent with the numbering of the Alan's, he just happen to be the third Alain that ruled Brittany but the second to do so as a duke which I am guessing is why the French call Alan Barbetorte Alan I and ignore King Alan before the Viking occupation. From what I gleamed Gourmaëlon was definitely not king but still fit the role of a ruler much like the Viking overlords you've listed.--The Emperor's New Spy (talk) 23:17, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I found some better info on Gourmaelon as well as the brothers of Conan, in French Wikipedia. I will try to migrate this into English Wikipedia maybe keep a page for each individual even if the description is slight. There is an issue with the Rulers of Brittany which is that if "we" stick to "officially recognized" titles we would need to define what that means, as it changes through the centuries and it is sometimes present but empty and other times is a meaningful addition to the ability to rule. Gourmaelon may have been more a Warlord or the "dominant breton noble" but that does not preclude we do something to add his details as they exist. Breizhtalk (talk) 23:52, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

I have an outstanding question at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Royalty_and_Nobility#Marie_Joseph_Anatole_Elie which I believe is misnamed. No one has responded, would you mind taking a quick look? It seems it is actually Joseph de Caraman-Chimay the younger. If you don't have time, no worries, thanks. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:14, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

I'll add Friedrich X., XI., and XII. von Hohenzollern to the front of my to-do list, followed by Erbprinz. HansM (talk) 23:54, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
