Talk:Frederick William II of Prussia

message: I removed this obvious piece of vandalism from the opening paragraph about his second marriage ...*... --- Drew Suiko 30 January 2007 11:22 EST
:* While the Talk page is the place to discuss questions of vandalism to the related Mainspace page, there is no justifiable reason to cite blatant vulgarity here verbatim when it is, as you say, an "obvious piece of vandalism". Two editors have objected to that explicit citation's presence here, so I have removed it. Interested readers may find the content in the page's edit history predating the above comment. -- Deborahjay (talk) 16:41, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

message: After reading the Wiki on Frederick the Great, I clicked on the link of his successor, his nephew, Frederick William II of Prussia.  I then clicked the link of his consort (wife) and it sent me to Frederick the Great's wife instead.  Their names are similar but if you look at their birthdays - it is obvious that the links are incorrect.
At the beginning of the 2nd paragragh of Frederick William II's bio section, the correct link is reached when you click on the naming of his wife.
Just an FYI

message: Why is his name listed in an English equivalent first, and then German in parentheses, almost like the original is English? Can someone fix his name please? 112.198.98.30 (talk) 15:19, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree. Translating German names into English is offensive and tantamount to cultural genocide. I am glad they have the original German names listed in parentheses. However, the article's title is clearly wrong. And this IS the place to discuss it! How do we report people like you committing vandalism?2001:558:6012:5A:565:ABEA:FCDE:5BBD (talk) 19:28, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

message: He is included in the Rosicrucians category, but that doesn't appear anywhere the article. Are there good sources on his involvement, and which of the many Rosicrucian Orders he may have belonged to? AnandaBliss (talk) 17:39, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
