Talk:Caroline Matilda of Great Britain

message: I've moved this page back to its original title because Caroline Matilda's highest rank was queen consort and therefore her article should follow the naming conventions for queen consorts, eg. "Alexandra of Denmark" not "Princess Alexandra of Denmark". Deb 16:41, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Are we quite sure that she died of throat cancer?  I know her mother did, but I'm not sure Caroline Matilda did. Deb 16:47, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the German Wikipedia says she died of epidemic typhus, the Swedish Wikipedia says she died of scarlet fever. I don't know which is right. esmi 08:25, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

message: And can someone please change the layout again? It doesn't look so good when there's no text on the first half of the article next to the picture (I tried but couldn't find out how it works). Thanks! esmi 08:25, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Interesting article! Has all the makings of a great PBS drama.
I have tagged this article because there are few things I found that seemed to conflict, a little repetition, and some references that were not clear to me.
Under Affair:
*Caroline Matilda was unhappy in her marriage, neglected and spurned by the king, and affected by his illness.  This is an almost identical sentence to one in prior paragraph. 
*The Queen was well aware that Struensee was behind these improvements,  No improvements previously mentioned-assume king's improvements?
*Through the Queen, Struensee gained control over the King and took over absolute power in Denmark.  This seems to contradict prior statements that k ing came to trust Streunsee without mention of the queen, and the point that the king didn't pay much attention to the queen in general. So, how did this come about?
*The court moved to Frederiksborg Palace on 19 November and then back to Christiansborg Castle on 8 January 1772.   Is this an important point? Why?
*their marriage ended up in divorce..  I assume that means the king and queen, but previously discussing Streunsee and accomplice, so a little confusing.
Also the article needs copyediting for standard English after expert corrections made.

replies: text: The part about the move from Frederiksborg to Christiansborg is probably to stress that it was crucial for the plotters that Struensee and the king and queen was in Copenhagen, as the regiments of the supporting officers of the coup was placed in Copenhagen. Had they stayed on in Frederiksborg the coup would have had to have been postponed. --Saddhiyama (talk) 15:59, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now expanded and clearified the article. I hope this was a little clearer. --85.226.43.158 (talk) 16:37, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

text:  Thanks for all of the new information, 85.226.43.158. and also Saddhiyama. It is really interesting. I did look at the reference, but Google can't translate it very well. May look some more later. I did get a laugh when it said the something about the queen's behavior and the label embossed(sic) court. I imagine it was supposed to have something to do with the court's impression, but where they got the "label" I have no idea!
I did a little more work tonight on clarity/continuity. There were some instances of, "She did A, instead of B, which was considered scandalous." - was A or B scandalous? And, the typical label "Later Life" didn't quite fit, because she died at 24, etc.  I did make a fair number of changes, but I don't think any big deal, just for ease of reading and continuity, about which I am a bit compulsive (I am a research writer).
Please revert anything that is incorrect or meaning changed - I don't want to rain on anyone's parade!  Someone had a hold of a part, so some is lost, but that's the way it goes. Maybe another night. Thanks for answering all my questions.  Lara Peacedance (talk) 04:31, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

message: She wasn't queen until her death in 1775. She stopped being Queen of Denmark when she was divorced three years earlier. Shouldn't her tenure be fixed?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.80.114.80 (talk) 03:13, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
