Talk:Gustaf VI Adolf

message: This page was moved (months ago) to its current title. Why? There wasn't any discussion or consent for such a page move. GoodDay 01:21, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've moved this page back to 'Gustav VI Adolf of Sweden', for above reason. GoodDay 23:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

text: To complicate things somewhat: Swedish kings with the name Gustav have the named spelled Gustaf (old spelling) when they are alive. After their death the name will be spelled Gustav. That is the custom in modern Sweden. With regards from Gottfried Multe at the Swedish Wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.132.119.83 (talk) 15:41, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

text: IMHO, the six articles-in-question, should be consistant (name wise). GoodDay (talk) 19:45, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: For the reasons explained quite clearly above, they should not. SergeWoodzing (talk) 22:38, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

message: How many people should we categorize as being of French descent? In this case, one pair of his great-great-grandparents and one great-grandfather were French born. Are we then setting an untenable precedent by saying he is of French descent? He and how many other tens of millions of folks? I invite additional comments/opinions.

replies: text: Removed that category today. SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:22, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

text: No, and Yes, he was Duke of Scania (in English), but that it has nothing to do with the section topic "French descent" either. SergeWoodzing (talk) 12:12, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  French descent? 

message: The photo of Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf is not representative of the afrticle for use as the info box portrait. I am moving it below and reinstating the image of him as king which also is highly representative of the look he was very well known for, simple overcoat and hat, all over Sweden, from his ascension to the throne in 1950 till his death in 1973. Wikipedia's bios are not just showcases for glamourous uniformed official portraits which do not always give the reader a good picture of the person. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 01:25, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

message: I see no reason not to link direct on his sons' names in this context rather than through redirects. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 10:37, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

message: I have added the Olympic part for good reason due to the fact that everyone knows that was the organization president of the 1912 games and opened the Stockholm games in 1956 (for one event due to Australia's quarantine policies). Due to the recent removals, I had to dispute this.  RainbowSilver2ndBackup (talk) 21:00, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I oppose this addition. Also, I've noticed you've made these additions to all the other world leader bios articles. GoodDay (talk) 21:01, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The other reason for Olympic part addition is for biographical reasons. RainbowSilver2ndBackup (talk) 21:21, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

message: I have added an extra bit of information in the family section that Gustaf VI Adolf is descended from Erik Segersall, the first recorded king of Sweden, the first member of the House of Bernadotte to be so.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.40.128.86 (talk) 08:31, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

message: I have reduced the estimated year range from c1910-1915 to end in 1914, as the First World War precluded his making visits to a country then engaged as a belligerent while Sweden was neutral, and there would have been no British teams touring abroad either when many professional players were enlisting in the British forces.Cloptonson (talk) 13:47, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
