Talk:Juliana of the Netherlands

message: Is the article title appropriate? Has a legendesque feel to it, like Joan of Arc. If it's a common popular nominative, I apologize. -- Gyan 23:58, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: She did not belong to the house of Orange-Nassau. She belonged to the ducal house of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. "Queen of the Netherlands" was a position she inherited from her mother, but she still belonged to the Mecklenburg-Schwerin family. In continental Europe, nobility and family membership is based on the Salian Law and only inherited on the agnatic side. Ertz 00:42, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The children of that queen will certainly not lose anything, because the status of their maternal family have never been a possession of their own family. However, their own agnatic family will became royal itself, when the throne becomes a possession of that family. Ertz 23:50, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

text: The article is dealing with the person, which is also Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Ertz 23:50, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: The lead section needs to be expanded to fit the article length. Please mention what she did that was notable, that set herself from others. --Jiang 09:23, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: At the end of "Return to Netherlands" it says she was inaugurated "in the New Church in Amsterdam". New Church is one of several designations for a number of international Swedenborgian organizations. Is this reference meant to be to a Swedenborgian church in Amsterdam? If not, New Church may need disambiguation.
> The New Church is the name of a Church (building) in Central Amsterdam, not the name of a religious denomination. In Dutch it is called Nieuwe Kerk, see Nieuwe Kerk (Amsterdam), which would be more appropriate in this article.

thread_title:  Citations required 

message: This article tells much about:
* her modesty (A young, shy and introverted woman of plain features; asking that she and her children be treated as just another family during difficult time; did her own grocery buying and shopped at Woolworth's Department Store; She believed that the days of an aloof, near-isolated monarchy were over, and that the royal children should interact as much as possible with average citizens)
* her "hard" life (her religious mother would not allow her to wear makeup, Juliana did not fit the image of a Royal Princess)
* her popularity among the Dutch (She would, nonetheless, become much loved and respected by most of the Dutch people)
* her popularity among the Canadians (Juliana quickly endeared herself to the Canadian people, displaying simple warmth)
* her friendliness (When her next door neighbour was about to give birth, the Princess of the Netherlands offered to baby-sit the woman's other children)
...and that's before I even came to the part named "Queen". Don't you think this article is biased in her favour, let alone the fact that there are no citations? Surtsicna (talk) 14:06, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Neutrality 

message: Regarding the 1964 impending marriage of Juliana's daughter to a Spaniard - there is the entry:</br>
With memories of the Dutch struggle for independence from Catholic Spain and fascist German oppression still fresh in the minds of the Dutch people . . .
Would not the struggle referred to be the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648)?  I don't see that as possibly being 'still fresh in the minds of the Dutch people' but I might be wrong. It might be better stated and should definitely be linked as those unfamiliar with Dutch history might think it a relatively recent struggle and on a par with the 'fascist German oppression' of a few decades prior.--User:Brenont (talk) 17:11, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The article states, "As the Dutch constitution specified that she should be ready to succeed to the throne by the age of eighteen, Princess Juliana's education proceeded at a faster pace than that of most children."
"Most children" are fully educated by the time they are 18.  Perhaps there is a different rule for royals?  John Paul Parks (talk) 05:00, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In Western Europe (including the UK) most university-track students are in school for 13 post-kindergarden years, and graduate at 18 or 19 (compared to 17 or 18 in the US).  Typical pre-university education lasts 13 years (compared to 12 years in the US), and typical university education lasts 3 years (compared to 4 years in the US).

message: No reason is given for her abdication, do we know of any reason that could have been publicly issued by the palace? --Lgriot (talk) 13:48, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason was certainly old age. Her mother abdicated when she reached old age and William I abdicated as well (though for different reasons). Surtsicna (talk) 18:23, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The article states that Juliana became the 12th member of the House of Orange to rule the Netherlands. However, the Netherlands were a republic until 1806. Juliana was strictly speaking the 5th ruler from the House of Orange.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.249.254.190 (talk) 15:04, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

message: I propose that Attempt at kidnapping Juliana of the Netherlands be merged into Juliana of the Netherlands. The first article is short, and was originally created as a translation of :nl:Gijzelingspoging Juliana (see: WP:PNT). The content could easily be added here without causing any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. I can't think of any good reason why it should remain a separate article.
