Talk:List of monarchs of Northumbria

message: Aethelwald Moll has, for the Anglo-Saxon/Latin, a W instead of VV. Which is correct? I'm changing to VV for now. --Golbez 18:46, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
Similar problem: Aelle II lacks Æ. Most of the references in aelle's article are Æ, but the article name lacks Æ. If Æ is accurate, the article probably should be moved. --Golbez 18:52, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
Another one: Ecgberht. The first entry has the AS as ECGBRYHT and the Latin as the same, but the second entry has the AS as ECGBRYHT and the Latin as ECGBERHT. Which is correct? --Golbez 18:59, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
:You are quite right, of course.  I have also spotted that I have put 'Eardwulf' as Eardvvulf, in fact it should be 'Eardvvlf' (apart from the erroneous 'u', wu was rendered as 'vv' rather than 'vvv' as might be expected.)  --JohnArmagh 21:36, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: I stumbled over this Battle_of_Brunanburh#Background claiming Olaf_III_Guthfrithson was King of Dublin and York. I was going to create a link pointing to 'King of York' from the first page but then noticed that redirected here and that he didn't appear in the list on this page - Should he be there just before athelston in 927ish?
: Olaf aka  Amlaíb mac Gofraid, king of 'York' (r. 939-941)? He's there alright. Cavila (talk) 11:41, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

message: The following from the above list, who seem to have ruled only the northern part of Northumbria, appear in the article.  I suggest that they should be deleted, so that the article shows only those whose control covered the southern part of Northumbria:- 
1. Ecgberht II of Northumbria
2. Eadwulf II of Northumbria
3. Ealdred of Northumbria.

message: Ælle II is listed here and redirects to Ælla of Northumbria - which title is more accurate? Should either the link or the title be amended to match? — PhilHibbs | talk 12:35, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

message: I have to question the propriety of the column showing the (supposed) vernacular representations of the kings' names and titles (at least I think that is what those columns are supposed to represent).  Many of them contain an odd mix of Latin and Anglo-Saxon alphabets, and though you find the same type of intermingling in the surviving manuscripts, the forms that appear differ from manuscript to manuscript, the preserved versions of the manuscripts are from centuries later and not contemporary practice at all, and likewise it would be Original Research to look at them to see what is used.  I strongly suspect many of these are formulaic editor-generated renderings of what they 'should have been', which violates policy.  Can anyone give me a reason why this column should stay (one that overcomes my concerns about Original Research and whether these represent valid and noteworthy forms at all)?

replies: text: I agree with your diagnostic. This column should be removed, not only here but also in Kingdom of Essex#List of kings and List of monarchs of Wessex. The other lists of Anglo-Saxons kings have either no such column (e.g. List of monarchs of East Anglia, a featured list), or a column which states the various styles, withtout any OR attempt at uniformisation (e.g. List of monarchs of Sussex). – Swa cwæð Ælfgar (talk) 12:59, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I went ahead and removed all three, but the Wessex one is now badly formatted, and I haven't had time to restore the relationships that the patronymics hidden in the vernacular styles were conveying to those in on the secret. Agricolae (talk) 21:09, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
