Talk:Emperor

message: Sections 3 and 5 refer to Byzantium and its successors, and sections 4 and 6 refer to the Holy Roman Empire and its successors. I don't know the conventions, but to me, the article would flow better if it were organized geographically. This could easily be done by switching the positions of sections 4 and 5.

message: I think we need a list of titles, recognized as imperial - King of Kings (Shahanshah,Khaghan/Khan of Khans,Sultan of Sultans etc), Great King (Padishah etc), Roman King/King of Romans and so on.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greutungen (talk • contribs) 11:32, 7 May 2008 CitizenofEarth (talk) 19:59, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Imperial titles 

message: Moved the following paragraph:
:Mutual accreditation between the following monarchs and European emperors began in the 1600s. It began when the Ottoman rulers claim to being Caesars of Rome (Kayser-i-Rûm) were snubbed by the Holy Roman Empire, the Russian Empire, and Spain (whose kings had inherited the title in pretence from Andreas Palaiologos), see Translatio imperii. They colluded with envious French kings to mutually recognize each other as emperors, beginning a convention.
to here pending appropriate citations. The "colluded with envious French kings" bit strikes me as especially POV. 66.130.156.84 (talk) 18:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Only that the statement that "a King or Queen rules a Single Nation as for the Emperor or Empress rules more than One" is simply not true. A King rules a Kingdom, an Emperor rules an Empire. The United Kingdom, though composed of three Kingdoms and one principality, is still only one Kingdom. Prior to this, there existed three Kingdoms and the ruler of these was king thrice but not Emperor. And if a single realm happens to be an Empire, the ruler is called Emperor, e.g. Russia (after Peter I), Japan, China. "Nations" are totally irrelevant in that regard.

message: citizenofhearth  "imperial titles"??  Emperor is the highest monarchical rank, but only the titles equal for the imperial rank in other countries  are the Chinese title Huangdi,
not even the king of kings,high king,malik or king of the Romans or Khan of Khans or great king.
the title King of Kings shall apply only to the kings of Persia of the Sassanid dynasty, although they controlled vast amounts of territory, but a few  vassals kings,an emperor instead have authority over many or a lot of kings and princes and chiefs also is the Khan of Khans its same as King of Kings still had  royal treatment not an imperial rank
King of the Romans was the honorary title with which invested the heir of the Holy Roman Emperor, the Holy Roman Emperor was the true ruler of the city of Rome at the time.
the title great king  was used by Persian kings of the Achaemenid dynasty that made great things, so he added the prefix "Great" to the title King, also happened to some of the ancient Indian kings. Padishah  translated into English means the same .. great king.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.129.121.147 (talk) 05:06, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

message: at Emperor#East Asian tradition:
* : "There are no similar passages describing Eastern views on the legitimacy of Western monarchies and so-forth."
* : ""emperor" is a Western concept, explain the Japanese view in the Tenno article, the Chinese view at Emperor of China etc.
* BlackRanger88: "Would you mind explaining your reasoning against my revision on the page more clearly? What exactly are you asking me to explain?"
...explaining:
It is an interesting question whether in Japan a Western emperor would be called a Tenno in Japanese. If there are sources on this, the content can be added to the encyclopedia (presumably at the Tenno article). Similar for Chinese: would a Western emperor be called a Huángdì in Chinese? Whether or not the answers to these questions are included in the encyclopedia, and if so on what page, doesn't change the viability of the content in the box above to stay in the Emperor article. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:45, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, thanks (as author of the passage). Johnbod (talk) 13:27, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  I just thought that the passage was out of place since there isn't a similar passage describing how, for example, Chinese emperors didn't "accept" the imperial status of Western emperors, due to the fact that they believed they were the center of the world and thus had no equal. Yet, this passage in the East Asian section describes which imperial thrones were "accepted" by Western powers, and which were not. Considering how ridiculous adding a passage describing how Eastern rulers cast doubt on the legitimacy of Western rulers is, perhaps you can see how equally strange it seems when the roles are reversed, such as in this case. BlackRanger88 (talk) 19:06, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have no problem with either. Wouldn't know what would be strange about it. Do you have a source for the Eastern view? --Francis Schonken (talk) 19:27, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

text: Yes, the article covers an English word for a concept shared by the main European languages, which they were always ready to apply globally. The various East Asian concepts are something else again. Johnbod (talk) 19:33, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
