Talk:Charles William Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick

message: This isn't my area of study at all, but I can't find any other real mention of this "Brunswick Proclamation" or "Brunswick Manifesto".  Is it possible that someone's mixing this up with (or is this in part of) the Declaration of Pillnitz that was issued by Emperor Leopold II and Frederick William II of Prussia around the same time?  --Ricky81682 00:35, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC)
No, the Brunswick Manifesto was a real thing.  Written by the Prince of Condé, I believe. john k 01:44, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Declaration of Pillnitz?

message: For all other rulers of the time we use the English version of the name, e.g. Frederick William III of Prussia. Is there a reason we aren't doing it here? Chl 13:09, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  Suggest relevant, accurate information not sacrificed; let a redirect take care of "Brunswick" → "Brunswick-Lüneburg". Alternatively, if title changed to "of Brunswick", ensure something along the lines of "(properly the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg)" included near the start of the article.

replies: text: I agree with the alternative, although the NCMH index (only) calls him Brunswick-Bevern. I suspect the situation is complicated enough to warrant a paragraph of its own. Septentrionalis 23:39, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

message: What is the basis for calling him "Charles II"?  Most sources I've seen use "Charles William Ferdinand" and call his grandson "Charles II".  See, for example, the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie, which calls the subject of this article "Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand" and the grandson "Karl II".  I'm going to move. john k (talk) 06:06, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

message: It should be added that the Duke of Brunswick supported Carl Friedrich Gauss' education. Gauss was one of the greatest mathematicians ever.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ffel (talk • contribs) 13:59, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I quoted chapter and verse of the MOS in my edit summary, but somehow you did not find, read and absorb this part of WP:HYPHEN: "Avoid using a hyphen after a standard -ly adverb (a newly available home, a wholly owned subsidiary)". The hyphens do not help the reader. Chris the speller yack 13:07, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: There being no objections or requests for further clarifications, this seems to be settled, so I will remove the superfluous hyphens. Chris the speller yack 15:16, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
