Talk:List of monarchs in Britain by length of reign

message: Something's just occured to me - although Elizabeth II is now the longest reigning monarch, she's still not the longest serving queen. This title probably goes to her mother, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, who became Queen Consort on 11 December 1936, and retained the title of Queen after the death of her husband until her death on 30 March 2002. This equates to a period of   days (). Obviously the Queen Mother shouldn't be in the list as she wasn't a monarch in her own right, but maybe something could be added to the article to mention this?
Incidentally, if my maths is right the present Queen will equal this record on 25 May 2017, if spared. — An optimist on the run! (logged on as Pek the Penguin) 12:05, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not the longest British Queen - yet... 

message: My problem with the inclusion of these possible future scenarios is that they have nothing to do with the subject of the article: namely, monarchs of Britain and the length of their reigns. OK, so a certain amount of European or World context doesn't hurt, but really saying: if one monarch lives for a certain amount of time AND remains on the throne (which is in no way a certainty after recent abdications in Spain and Netherlands) then they will pass another record; is just over the top. It's like on a pop chart saying if so and so has three more number ones they will hold the record for the most number ones or to take the example you gave, if the sun burns for another 50 billion years it will be the longest lived star in the galaxy. I think we should wait until a record is looming rather than projecting out decades into the future. Btljs (talk) 11:32, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The above 27 May 2024 date, which still comes up in some Google searches, is wrong by a day, due to ignoring leap years. It mistakenly assumes that Elizabeth has to reign 72 years and 111 days to beat Louis' 72 years and 110 days(26407 days), but this ignores the fact that 2000 was a leap year and 1700 wasn't, so she only has to reign 72 years and 110 days (26408 days) which is 26 May 2024 (see footnote (b) here).

text: Eleanor was a Queen Consort (although a regent for a time when the King was out of the country), so I don't believe she belongs here. ChiHistoryeditor (talk) 20:43, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: References

message: Okay so I have been trying to just include long reigning monarchs within the United Kingdom's history, and Europe as a whole. The 2nd longest ruling of x wouldn't be as noteworthy as the longest ruling of x for example. This being said I don't know where Eleanor would fall into, would she be considered a monarch? I feel that she very narrowly either fits in or misses the scope. Thoughts are welcomed.... - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 13:24, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: [[Eleanor of Aquitaine]]

message: I realize this will not be popular but what is the reason to have the days of reign added to a current Monarch? 1)- Every article using this has to be updated every 24 hours or be outdated. 2)- It is trivial, unimportant, and "only" becomes necessary when two Monarchs, that are deceased, share the same year of reign. The current monarch will likely not be match for years. Otr500 (talk) 10:21, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

message: I have added some of the Kings of Wessex from Egbert. These kings ruled pretty much all of England and were addressed as such (Bretwalda). I struggle with the aligning, I also added Ælfweard of Wessex and tried as best as I can with aligning. 
What are your thoughts on the Kings of Wessex being added to the England section? And can someone fix the aligning with the Anglo Saxons I added. MCMax05 (talk) 15:53, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
