Talk:Anne, Queen of Great Britain

message: I think the titles of the infobox should follow that of George III, as in keeping “Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland” and adding a footnote describing that from 1707 she was Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, thereby condensing her offices in the infoboxes.

message: Although I don't plan on starting a discussion in the near future, I do believe the page's name could change. A few things that need to be taken into account are that Anne's page name follows the structure of "Anne, Queen of X". Although by no means the only important thing to note, Google Searches are telling. Following said structure here are the results:
# "Anne, Queen of England" has 70.500 results
# "Anne, Queen of Great Britain" has 63.800 results
# "Anne, Queen of Scotland" has 24.500 results
# "Anne, Queen of Ireland" provides only 4 results
It's clear that changing the page's name to "Queen of Ireland" would simply not work, and "Queen of Scotland" add confusion with Anne of Denmark, wife of James VI and I. In fact, these two searches don't even identify Queen Anne as the person being searched. Although "Queen of England" does bring up more results than "Queen of Great Britain", this isn't always the case, and given she spent longer as Queen of Great Britain, it makes sense for this to remain the page's name.
However, looking at the following Google Search results:
# "Queen Anne of England" has 318.000 results
# "Queen Anne of Great Britain" has 217.000 results
# "Queen Anne of Scotland" has 149.000 results
# "Queen Anne of Ireland" has 8 results
It's clear that following the "Queen Anne of X" is far more recognizeable than "Anne, Queen of X". Moreover, if one looks at things like biographies of her, she is always referred to simply as "Queen Anne". Granted, as there have been many women named Anne to hold the title of queen - both queen consorts and regnants - it is understandable that there would be hesitancy to make Anne Stuart the primary topic. Especially when some of the other "Queen Annes" may be more popular than this Queen Anne is; whether in google searches or pageviews here on Wikipedia.
However, what is clear is that almost any discussion of Anne of Great Britain places her title as Queen before her name. Like her, we have "Queen Victoria", rather than "Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom". Taking this into account, I would argue that if the page name were to ever change, it should follow the structure of "Queen Anne of X", rather than the present one.

replies: text: @PanagiotisZois I think the article title should be her commonly used name in RSSs, which will be Queen Anne, just like Queen Victoria and King John. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 10:31, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

message: The article says: "" The sources are: "Luttrell, vol. IV, p. 674; Somerset, p. 163" But page 674 of Luttrell but says only "The princesse being overwhelmed with grief for the losse of his highnesse, intends on Saturday to retire ..." And I'm unable to see any mention on p. 163 of Somerset. Does that say they were both grief stricken? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:11, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
