message: So, I was reading this article and I noticed an error, that was pretty major, or perhaps just desreves clarification.
For the description on the picture of Joseph it says, " Joseph Bonaparte King of Naples (1803). Joseph was not made King until 1808. While the picture may have been painted sooner, the fact that it has (1803) implies that he was King of Spain in 1803. This is not the case. If the picture was painted in 1803, than it is only proper to credit it as such, so perhaps a different picture would be appropriate? I loose my Wikipedia passwords all the time, and as a result never have any privledges to change it, or I'd have done something about this myself.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.9.227.173 (talk) 18:25, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Joseph Bonaparte Portrait

message: Saint Joseph was often called Pater Putativus, P.P. that means Pepe
Elaborating on that, yes, it comes from Pater Putativus (Putative Father), and if you read out loud the letters in spanish it sounds 'pe-pe'. Anyway, i'd like to point out that it works as well as 'Jack' works for 'John'.--Estradin 19:14, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pepe is nickname for José 

message: The article states that Joseph ended the Inquisition's "reign of terror". Is that neutral enough? There're always several points of views in issues like that and I think that such sentences don't match the NPOV policy, even if they're quite right. Perhaps something like "Jospeh Bonaparte ended the Inquisition" leaving the discussion on the Inquisition's defects to the specific entry would be better. MJGR 12:06, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I read somewhere that Joseph has a grandson named Adolph Maillard.  Anyone know anything about this?  I know his secretary and best friend was Louis Maillard.

thread_title:  Grandson? 

message: Early in the article it says this: He was nominally king of Spain from June 6, 1808 to December 11, 1813, but from June 13, 1812 he was back in France. 
Later, however, we find this line: Bonaparte abdicated and returned to France after defeat at the Battle of Vitoria [which occurred on June 21, 1813].  So when exactly did Joseph leave?  1812 or 1813?

replies: text: He left in 1812 and "abdicated" then. Napoloeon refused to accept his abdication until 1813. Everything was controlled by napoleonCool10191 (talk) 17:49, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Leaving Spain 

message: Shouldn't the article name reflect his regnal titles? --Counter-revolutionary (talk) 13:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think most of the Bonapartes are known just for that, being Bonapartes. I would consider this and all other Bonapartes, aside from the French Emperors, Princes Napoleon and Prince Imperial, to be exceptions to the titling convention. Charles 21:04, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: Do you think it is worth adding how joseph got the throne of spain. There was a bit of a civil war in spain Napoleon tricked the King of Spain to abdicate and name naoploen king, then he got his son to abdicate also. This left a vacuum where naopleon was "legally" the king. Then he invited the royal family to Bayonne to discuss "fixing the situtation" and then he arrested them all. Sneaky huh! So when they were all arrested he talked Louis into taking the throne.Cool10191 (talk) 17:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fall of the old Spanish Throne 

message: The Spanish people nicknamed him Pepe Botella ("Bottle Joe") and the usual hypothesis has to do with an alleged tendency to drunkenness. Another theory though, points the name as a maligned confusion where when Joseph Bonaparte went outside his castle, he looked around with a spyglass - which looked like a bottle, or was made to look like a bottle by his detractors .

thread_title: Removed, unsourced for too long

message: It's clearly latter then 1820, but no details after then are given.  Did he go directly to Florance where he died or was he somewhere else first?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.144.34.210 (talk) 17:50, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
