Talk:Henrietta of England

message: I added a reference to Saint-Simon's account of poisoning, and deleted "An autopsy was performed, however, and it was reporteded that Henrietta-Anne had died of peritonitis caused by a perforated ulcer" as I can find no other source for this and every account I've read says she was poisoned. The claim needs to be supported.  Rogermexico 23:16, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe I first read about her autopsy in The King My Brother by Cyril Hughes Hartmann although I don't have the page number.  I did a Google Book Search, and found that the autopsy is mentioned on page 239 of The History of Gastroenterology.  Therefore, I am restoring the omitted sentence.--*Kat* 07:00, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Huh. Didn't know that. Thanks, in any case, for leaving it as "it was reported". It seems pretty much everyone at the time was convinced she was poisoned, including certainly our good duchess herself. I'd never heard of the autopsy before (and I wonder if that was the actual finding or something to offset the rumors). Interesing. Rogermexico 03:01, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No arguements about that.  But think about it: Henrietta had been feeling horrible, just horrible for weaks prior to her death.  Yes, she traveled to England and back, but I don't think she would have gone had anybody other than her brother been waiting for her there.  She had horrible stomach pains all the way there.  Furthermore, one of her daughters died of the same thing that killed Henrietta.  Poisoning doesn't really make sense.  --*Kat* 23:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cause of death?

message: It looks like that Henrietta Anne Stuart was at one point moved by cut and paste to Henrietta Anne of England, Duchess of Orleans, and from there with a proper move to Henrietta Anne, Duchess of Orléans. Because of the cut and paste move the history of this page was corrupted, and had to be repaired.
There was also an old vandalism issues: the page was first vandalized, then moved by cut and paste taking the vandalism along in the process, and moved again. Because the history was corrupted that old vandalism was no longer evident from the history.
The old vandalism has now been reverted, and the history has been repaired. I also moved the page back to its original name, Henrietta Anne Stuart. Reason for that is that according to Wikipedia naming conventions common names should be used, and a quick google search revealed that Henrietta Anne Stuart is far more common than Henrietta Anne, Duchess of Orléans. Because the vandal had removed information on marriage and children, and Adam sk put in the mean time a table with information about her children some of that information is now duplicated. But since the original information was more complete than Adam sk's table I left it at that, and I am going leave it to someone else to take out any redundancy. JdH 15:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Henrietta Anne, Duchess of Orléans]] 

message: I believe the image alleged to be Henrietta Anne as an infant is improperly identified.  I have seen images of the original painting, for which (or from which) the image in this article appears to be a sketch.  The portrait is titled "Children of Charles I" and is dated approximately 1635, which puts the children at about the right ages depicted.  The portrait depicts Charles, Prince of Wales, Mary, the future Princess of Orange, and the baby is actually James, Duke of York.  Therefore I think it proper to remove that particular image, and perhaps even place it in the entry for James II of England.

replies: text: More to the point, Van Dyck died (1641) before she was born (1644). The image also seems to me to be a C19th sketch after a painting. It should go anyway. Johnbod (talk) 09:20, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Van Dyck Portrait Misidentitifed?

message: In reply to the message you just left on my talk page: Much of the added material is redundant, excessive, or trivial. I've already recorded repeated objections to
#unsourced allegations (e.g. that seem unprecedented, unlikely, or undocumentable) are apt to be deleted unless precisely sourced  
#redundancies (if it's in a box on the page, it's apt to be deleted from the text): 
#excess (details which belong in another person's article [e.g. parent, spouse, child], or which describe hard-to-verify details [e.g. "She felt envious": unless it's an attributed quote from a diary or correspondence -- how is it possible to know what someone who died hundreds of years ago "felt" or "thought"? Let's stick to what they verifiably said or did]), 
#gallicization (names and titles when combined, OK [but members of dynasties that ruled outside France -- Lorraine, Savoy, Modena, Bouillon, Monaco, etc -- shouldn't be gallicized, except for cadets born into a branch naturalised in France]; but just for the sake of a more "French" sound or "feel" to the article -- not usually, and subject to deletion). Please don't use sockpuppets. I look forward to better mutual cooperation -- and better Wiki articles. Thanks. FactStraight (talk) 13:16, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Plagiarism 

message: Once again the history of this article has been corrupted by a cut-and paste move, see Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves and Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen why cut-and-paste moves are undesirable. This last cut-and-paste seems to have been at 16:00, 20 November 2009 by User:LouisPhilippeCharles, cutting-and-pasting from Henrietta Anne Stuart to Henrietta Anne of England. The edit entry "22:10, 14 July 2010 LouisPhilippeCharles m (15,494 bytes) (moved Henrietta Anne of England to Princess Henrietta of England" describes a move by the proper method, not a cut-and-paste.
The damage has now been repaired, by an Admin history merge. Also, this Talk page, which was left behind at the original location, has been rejoined to the article. What is particularly annoying about this occurrence is that the problems caused by an earlier cut-and-past move is discussed in detail on this very Talk page, Henrietta Anne, Duchess of Orléans.
