Talk:Oscar I of Sweden

message: user:David Parker thinks it is necessary to postfix all royal names with of Country and so moved this page from Oscar I. I don't agree that this is necessary. Can anybody point me to anybody else named Oscar I? My point is that names should be as short as possible as long as they are not ambiguous. --user:LA2
: The question is whether to use names as short as possible, or to use a consistent naming scheme that will reduce the odds of unanticipated ambiguity. I think I favor the longer " of country" form for this reason. Wesley
See naming standards. This has already been hashed over and over. --rmhermen — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.152.155.207 (talk) 15:03, 2 August 2002 (UTC)

message: I think there needs to be mention in the introductory paragraph that Charles XIV John and Marshal Bernadotte are indeed the same person. Otherwise it confuses the narrative. 166.82.48.137 (talk) 08:22, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

message: "As early as 1850 Oscar I had conceived the plan of a dynastic union of the three Scandinavian kingdoms, but such difficulties presented themselves that the scheme had to be abandoned."
What kind of a plan was that? Surtsicna (talk) 15:25, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Just looking at the words, the answer to your specific question seems clear: a "plan of a dynastic union of the three Scandinavian kingdoms". This is a well known fact, to those who know him, but I am adding a source to the text now. Thank you for bringing attention to this unsourced item! SergeWoodzing (talk) 17:54, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I see no clear answer in that sentence. What did the author mean by "dynastic union"? Did Oscar want to create some sort of a personal union between the kingdoms? If so, how did he plan to do it? Surtsicna (talk) 17:58, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry, I do not understand what you are questioning. He wanted to create a dynastic union. Do you mean that that should be deleted from the article because there is no further explanation of the details of the plan? SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:02, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

text: PS If you mean it would be nice to have more info on this in the article, I agree. I'm sorry I have none to add right now. SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:11, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Rather than deleting just removing his ancestry from the article, so that it will get lost eventually, I am moving it here for future reference, in case anyone is especally interested in it or finds anything notable there. SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:00, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry for using "deleted" then! Maybe you actually know I meant?: lost to us in hard-to-investigate edit summaries. If you know a way of finding things that have been removed from article texts, and never have been discussed on article talk pages, without taking hours and hours to rummage through edit histories - please let me know. I have never figured out how to do it. SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:50, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Isn't it possible to make collapsable? I think I have seen that on other pages. walk victor falk talk 03:55, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems so, yes. I don't know how though. SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:01, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Making it collapsable doesn't make it useful. Otherwise we could throw in all sorts of trivial information and justify it by making the section collapsable. Surtsicna (talk) 14:04, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Similar to William Henry Harrison's alleged photograph. In my opinion, this isn't an actual photograph. The caption is even more redundant because of that. Yourlocallordandsavior (talk) 05:53, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not agree. Nothing painting-like about it. There were no paintings with bland/blank backdrops. Well-known in the country of origin as a Daguerreotype. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 20:37, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

text: PS I will say though that this restored version looks more like a painting, less life-like. Thus I have changed to the original now. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 20:41, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: And while we don't, it's a good idea to have his son as Oscar II? And Norway ignored? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:26, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: His son's page should be changed to Oscar II of Sweden. Indeed, Norway eventually broke away from the union in 1905, during the latter's reign. GoodDay (talk) 21:58, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Oscar I was King of Sweden and Norway full term. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:16, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: He's better known as the Swedish monarch, rather than the Norwegian monarch. Sweden got Norway from Denmark, in 1814. GoodDay (talk) 01:43, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: No, he is not. Denmark irrelevant. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:40, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
