Viceroyalties

Hi Srnec. I understand that Italian history before 1860 is generally difficult for foreigners. Don't make confusion between realms, kingdoms and sovereign nations. Since the Middle Ages, Italy was divided in hundreds of realms, duchies, counties, republics and cities. During the following centuries, strongest cities and States defeated the weaker ones, which became subjected. After the Renaissance, European nations began to conquest many of this states.
But the concept to remembered is that the Medieval subdivisions were not abolished by this political changes: certainly they were no more states, but they continued to exist as local divisions of greater states. Greater states which generally did not have an own name (Tuscany was one of the very few exceptions), but they usually used the name of their main constituent country. For exemple, the (State of the) Duchy of Milan took the name from its main constituent division, the Duchy of Milan, but it was composed also by the County of Como, the Principality of Pavia and others.
So, you must not make confusion between the Medieval Kingdom of Sardinia (Regnum Sardiniae et Corsicae), which was not a State but a constituent country of Spain (when it was called Viceroyalty of Sardinia on Spanish acts) and later of the Savoyard domains, and the State called Kingdom of Sardinia (Regnum Sardinie, Cyprus and Jerusalem), which was no more than the previous State of the Duchy of Savoy, which took its new name in 1723. The first one was a province, the latter was a State composed by many countries (the coat of arms showing the most important ones).
I hope I was able to make you understand the difference. I'll create a template to make clear the difference to wikipedian users. Hi!--Jonny Bee Goo (talk) 13:26, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Don't patronise. I understand just fine. To call "the Medieval Kingdom of Sardinia (Regnum Sardiniae et Corsicae)" a "a constituent country of Spain" is pure hogwash. You seem intent on presenting Savoy as a "strong" state and Sardinia consequently as the "weak" and "subjected" one, but this is just spin. The rest of your comments inspire no confidence, but I won't interfere with your propaganda campaign. Srnec (talk) 03:47, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Ignore people like Johnny. You're doing some excellent work on abbots of Farfa. Impressive that you are able to write so much about such old subjects. Keep up this great and valuable work. Dr. Blofeld 09:21, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Sources

As I said you, wikipedia is base on sources. Alternate history is not allowed here. Your goal to support the propaganda by Sardinian nationalists won't be accepted. There's not a single evidence of legal continuity between the medieval K of Sardinia and Corsica and the worldwide-known Sayovard State after 1720. Sardinia was a Spanish territory before 1713: this is an historical fact you can't cancel.--Jonny Bee Goo (talk) 20:40, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

RfA

Hey Srnec. You seem to have your own little niche on Misplaced Pages. It's not really right that you don't have some of the abilities needed to manage such pages properly. You're way overdue an RfA anyway, so I'm willing to RfA nom you if you'll accept it. All the best, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 23:11, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

My "own little niche". I like it. Thanks very much for the offer, but I'll need to think about it. Srnec (talk) 04:40, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

No worries. Just lemme know! Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 13:57, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Emperor of All Spain

Hey dude, I thought you were in favor of changing the title? You had written: I don't like the current title. I much prefer Emperor of Spain. Can we move it now? Srnec (talk) 01:52, 6 August 2010 (UTC) Why didn't you note on the discussion page earlier of your change of mind? I had given almost a weeks notice before I had changed it to Emperor of all Spain.... ???? ♦Drachenfyre♦·Talk 06:06, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

I support Emperor of Spain, not Emperor of all Spain. The current title (Imperator totius Hispaniae) is acceptable but not the best, as was the previous title (Medieval Spanish empire). Srnec (talk) 20:44, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Does not totius mean of all? ♦Drachenfyre♦·Talk 04:45, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Removal of ancestry sections

Hi, Srnec. Could you please explain why you removed the ancestry sections I created for the Toda of Navarre and García Sánchez I of Pamplona articles? You did not provide any explanation whatsoever in your edit summary. The ancestry sections were both informative and fully supported by a reliable reference. It is common practice at Misplaced Pages to have ancestry sections and ahnentafels in royalty-related biographical articles. Therefore, unless you provide a convincing explanation for the removal of the ancestry sections, I will restore them. Regards. --BomBom (talk) 13:49, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel

Yeah, was thinking about that too. Basically, all members of the house of Hesse-Kassel before 1803 bore the title "Landgraf von Hessen-Kassel". To distinguish the reigning landgraves from the non-reigning ones, we apparently use the format William VIII, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel for reigning landgraves and Landgrave William of Hesse-Kassel for non-reigning ones. This is not a very useful way to go about it, as it doesn't make sense unless you already know the convention. Probably we should move the non-reigning ones to the form Prince William of Hesse-Kassel; it's not technically a correct translation of their German titles, but this is what was generally used in English at the time, and is less confusing than the Landgrave form. That is, I will say, a separate issue from the Kassel/Cassel issue, which I hope can be resolved first before we get into any other issues. john k (talk) 20:33, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

I would support that. I am neutral as to the spelling of Kassel/Cassel, as long as we're consistent, although I pesonally like the latter more. Srnec (talk) 23:03, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

I would say that personally, I think Hesse-Cassel is more aesthetically pleasing and don't understand why the English language would want to take up a German orthographic reform and apply it to a time when it wasn't in use. At the same time, my feeling is that most sources in English now use "Hesse-Kassel," so that is my preference for what wikipedia should do. john k (talk) 16:44, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for being rude to you at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Modern empires' loss of European territory.
