Talk:Geraldine of Albania

message: Prince Leka has never been king in Albania. There was a referendum about a return to a monarchy and it was not approved. Leka went came to Albania with a bunch of armed thugs, but he was kicked out. Dori 23:41, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: It never is. BTW it should be courts not court's. And stop doctoring articles to push political agendas. If you keep doing it you will be banned from editing here. This is the umpteenth  article you have doctored to include pro-Leka propaganda.  FearÉIREANN\(caint) 00:36, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: She was Queen, and referred to as such, throughout her life.  The fact that her husband ruled for a "brief" 340 odd days after their marriage is blatant propaganda in an attempt to somehow discredit Her Majesty's use of this title, for whatever reason.  I am not objecting to the length of time she was Queen in Albania being mentioned, however, it was used in, I believe, a sense of PoV.--Couter-revolutionary 13:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a fact. It is an important and neutral fact. It is not propaganda. You are being entirely unreasonable. --SandyDancer 15:05, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not much better, no.  She was, from her marriage, consistently Queen of Albania until her death.--Couter-revolutionary 15:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

text: If you think Leka was assisted, then you MUST CITE IT, and PROVE IT. Not just state it. Surely you must know this by now.Mowens35 00:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Where did I ever state it? I am merely mentioning it now, do not attempt to chastise me for something which I have not even attempted to do.  I think the source is in one of the numerous articles already referenced.--Couter-revolutionary 00:10, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But to drop Nixon's name in with no reason for it being there is incorrect. If you want to use his name, then state why and the circumstances and give a citation and a page. Otherwise, I'll keep deleting it. The article needs facts, not trivia.Mowens35 00:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was not the one who added the name.   I was merely raising an point of information.--Couter-revolutionary 00:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Queen

message: According to the Albanian embassy, Queen Geraldine was GERALDINA in Albanian, ie that is the spelling of her name in Albanian. Hence it's use in parentheses is utterly fine. She was known thusly in her adopted country.Mowens35 00:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no page like Geraldina. that should be a disambiguation. Avjoska 07:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Queen Geraldine?  Was this same woman also known as the Princess Geraldine Jones?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.111.105.92 (talk) 22:54, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: Officially and technically, she would not have been Queen Mother, though it was used as a courtesy title. So should the dates of her time as Queen Geraldine be expanded to 2002, when she died, given that she wasn't technically Queen Mother?Mowens35 00:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would expand the dates of Queen to until 2002, yes.  Underneath I would then add that she was known as Queen Mother as a courtesey between X and Y.--Couter-revolutionary 00:39, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Geraldinealbania.jpg

message: Listed as her great-great-grandparents are Theodore Nixon Ramsay and Virginia Elizabeth Deal. This comes from information compiled by the late eminent genealogist William A. Reitwiesner. This information is wrong, though, because according to Reitwiesner, Lucy Booker Ramsay was born in 1839. Theodore Nixon Ramsay, according to census records, was born in 1846 and married Virginia Deal in 1877. Here is the link to the 1850 census listing 4-year-old Theodore N. Ramsay--https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M4BL-ZQV. 
If one looks at his siblings, one of them is Lucy B. Ramsay, aged 11 (meaning she was born in 1839).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lordmarmont (talk • contribs) 04:58, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
