Talk:List of monarchs by nickname

message: The other option is to split it along the following lines:
:*"cognomen": names added to the monarch's name, similar to the Roman victory titles. Thus, Vlad the Impaler, Henry Beauclerc, Mary Queen of Scots.
:*"sobriquets": names used as a substitute for the monarch's name: The Universal Spider for Louis XI, Mrs Brown for Victoria, Little Boots for Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus.
I used sobriquet based on the entry in Fowler's Modern English Usage: it is used where one name is substituted for the other; it gives as an example "The Eternal City" for Rome. I used cognomen based on the articles on Roman naming convention and Victory titles, which clearly have the nickname tacked on (e.g. Scipio Africanus). SigPig 03:22, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: New criterion & subheadings

message: The epithets "the elder" and "the younger" aren't nicknames - they're ordinals, like "junior" and "senior" or the roman "major" and "minor". I don't see how they belong. Should everyone known as "the third" and so on be included as well? --BluePlatypus 18:12, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Our article on Lorenzo de' Medici calls him the "de facto ruler of the Florentine Republic".  Is he considered a "monarch"?  He was commonly known as Lorenzo the Magnificent.  —Mark Dominus (talk) 18:04, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

message: The merge has not been done, because someone has suddenly started to wikify the Nicknames of European Royalty and Nobility. This article seems better to me although the other has more names. I discussed concentrating the efforts on this article but failed, so I propose we let Rajofcanada finish the other article and then go on with the merge. Piet 12:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, it seems that we are working at cross purposes, then, because the bigger each article gets, the harder it's going to be to integrate them. --SigPig 05:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mergefrom 

message: I just started the List of people by nickname article. Since non monarchs and fictional characters also have the word "the" in their nickname we should merge the two articles under the new list's name.--T1980 (talk) 22:06, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  non monarchs on separate list 

message: Are these guys considered kings, because they claimed the throne? If so, should "the old pretender" and "the young pretender" be added as nicknames or in the list of sobriquets?--JakobvS (talk) 14:24, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

message: An anonymous user keeps adding "the Nut" as a nickname for King Tutankhamun. I cannot find any references but the user keeps reverting my deletion calling it vandalism. Please could someone patrol this to ensure that a reference is provided rather than my tag just being deleted again. Dabbler (talk) 21:05, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The page just became unprotected and the Tut the Nut IP vandal is back using a blog as a source. Can someone please reestablish protection on this article. Thanks Dabbler (talk) 14:19, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Very patient vandal apparently waiting to pounce as soon as the 6-month protection expired. I've made it a year, maybe they'll get another hobby. Bishonen | talk 22:37, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: King Tutankhamun

message: William I of Scotland (William the Lion) is listed correctly under ~the Lion, but in brackets his Gaelic name reads "Uilliam mac Eanric". As the bold in Pedro the Liberator (Pedro o Libertador) and other examples leads one to believe that the bold text refers to the epithet itself, including mac Eanric in bold is incorrect as it refers to his father's name Eanric/Henry. I'd like to request for this to be amended. 27.99.69.65 (talk) 13:43, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Justinian II, Byzantine Emperor should be the slit-nosed, not the split-nose <-- literally here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justinian_II
Eric IV of Denmark is also known as Plowpenny in many sources, not just Ploughpenny <-- literally the same word, and since this is a translation from Danish, both words are to be accepted

message: So the Russian translation for Sviatopolk the Damned is the same as that for Sviatopolk the Accursed. Is that intended? Like, is that two translations for the same word, or is it just a mistake?
