Talk:Oscar II

message: It seems to me that there are good enough sources to establish the allegations about at least 4 of Oscar's extramarital children. There are allegations about at least another 3-4 for which I have not found any sources as yet. SergeWoodzing (talk) 00:16, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I had removed gossip that had been tagged as requiring source since 2007 - Woodzing restored it without reliable sources, which is not helpful. Yes, I know that there is an abundance of stories, but what is needed is a reference to biogroaphies by authoritative historians. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 08:31, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe there are sufficiently reliable sources now. SergeWoodzing (talk) 09:41, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the sources are sufficient now, the article in Aftonbladet should be enough for the claim that 4 illegitimate children are alleged. jorgenev 10:22, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Aftonbladet is not a reliable source when it comes to history. Neither is a blog. Neither is a self-published book. Torgny Nevéus has an authoritative article in Svenskt Biografiskt Lexikon (p. 377-392 in volume 28). There is no mention of any illegitimate children in these 15 two-column pages. Nevéus writes that Oscar fell in love with Camille af Harmens as a 19-year old. And about his married life, Nevéus writes that Oscar II kept his extramarital affairs well hidden, so that they only later became more widely known.  /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 19:41, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't make any claims of supreme reliability of the sources, but the article in Aftonbladet talks about a documentary about the king's four illegitimate children and whether or not they were actually his illegitimate children, the fact that documentaries are being made about them as if they were I think counts enough for a claim that illegitimate children are "alleged". jorgenev 21:44, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: So the real source for there being allegations is http://www.blattblod.com/ - infotainment,  that does not justify the amount of detailed genealogical information in the ""children" section. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 06:03, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

text: Thank you, Jorgenev for your unbiased opinion, which truly was needed here and is worthy of respect. It seems we agree there have been allegations (not factual disclosures), and that the sources given are enough to substantiate them. Sorry that a one subject user (visits English WP only to try to correct my work again and again and again and again) can't agree. SergeWoodzing (talk) 21:29, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

text: The reference given by Woodzing to my colleague Nivre does not support the allegation that Oscar II had children with Friberg. It is a fake reference. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 17:26, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Why not of Norway and Sweden, then, in alphabetical order?
I oppose the undicussed move of this article. Oscar II was King of Sweden longer, was dethroned in Norway, and his family only had access to the Norwegian throne through the earlier political successes of the Swedish throne. It is especially inappropriate to rename this article in this way, and just as it would be inappropriate to add a bunch of unnecessary countries (16 or so?) to the artcilce name of Elizabeth II, I would also be against adding and Norway to the article names of Charles XIII of Sweden, Charles XIV John of Sweden, Oscar I of Sweden and Charles XV of Sweden. Please reverse this move! SergeWoodzing (talk) 15:09, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry I removed the help template, it didn't seem to be related to where it was and I couldn't see that you had any need of help here. My advice is to ask Mais oui!, the editor who moved the page, for a more precise justification than "per mos". --Mrmatiko (talk) 17:12, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
