[edit] Request unprotection?

This page has been protected for the past two weeks. No discussion has occurred on the issues at all in the talk page. Are the issues being resolved and the disputed parties moving towards discussion? If there are no objections, I will request unprotection for all the other users that wish to edit. Warring users should be dealt with through other means. Calwatch 00:14, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] portrait connection to cinema?

The official portrait of HIH Olga on the article page.... it is strikingly similar to the dress that "Anastasia" wore in the final scene of the animated remake of Anastasia (voiced by Meg Ryan)... I have heard the film producers did research extensively the aspects of the Imperial Russian dress, culture, and the stories of Anna Anderson. But does the Duchess' dress match the one in the article photo??? If you need to see the picture of the animated-Anastasia dress, I bet you could find it on a related website...

Thanks

[edit] Wrong Olga

The photo in the article is of Olga Nikolaevna, not Olga Alexandrovna.

The problem has been corrected, thank you for the notification. -- AJ24 13:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kulikovsky articles: to be delayed

The full names of Nikolai, Tikhon, and Juri Kulikovsky highlighted in red (article to-be), are misrepresented. The full, styled names of the three are:

Colonel Nikolai Alexandrovich Kulikovsky
(Count) Tikhon Nikolaevich Kulikovsky-Romanoff
(Count) Juri Nikolaevich Kulikovsky-Romanoff

Until the actual full name (with correct title or usage) can be confirmed, I ask users not to create the red highlighting. If an article were written under those names they would be incorrect. -- AJ24 20:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Just to clarify, was her second marriage morganatic? (So the Kulikovsky-Romanoffs wouldn't have a claim to the Russian Throne). Indisciplined 16:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

(Thanks to AJ24 for confirming the above. Should this fact be mentioned somewhere in the article? Indisciplined 23:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC) )

[edit] Ballerup in Danmark

Il serait peur-être intéressant de nommer "Ballerup-DK" où Olga vecu 18 ans ,et beaucoup de ses motifs représenta cette région, et qui possède (son musée) plus de 100 oeuvres de l'artiste. Je possède une très belle aquarelle de Olga, que je compte mettre sur Commons quand j'aurai fait une photo suffisante. --217.157.170.125 19:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not considered the last reigning member of the House of Romanov

Olga Alexandrovna never "reigned" so therefore she cannot be considered the last reigning member of the House of Romanov. I have deleted that phrase. Susan/sef127 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 16:16, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Appleblossoms.jpg

Image:Appleblossoms.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Last surviving grandchild of Alexander II

Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna was not the last surviving granchild of Emperor Alexander II. His grandson George, Count of Merenberg died in 1965, Countess Olga of Merenberg died in 1983. Prince Alexander Bariatinsky died in 1992. Prince Alexander Yurievsky died in 1988. All of them were granchildren of Alexander II and Princess Ekaterina Yurievskaya. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.56.225.108 (talk) 18:42, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

She was, however, the last surviving granchild of Emperor Alexander II by his wife, Empress Maria Alexandrovna. I made this change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.56.225.108 (talk) 18:45, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
