[edit] Requested move

[edit] To <br> or not to <br>

Just to clarify my insertion of <br>'s between the two Line of succession-boxen at the foot of misc 'royal' articles, this one included: the intent was/is to insert a little 'breathing' space (an empty line) between the boxen, to prevent them from directly touching each other. Purely an aesthetic measure, I admit, but how about discussing it before summarily removing them?

I presume the trouble might pertain to different rendering among different skins (?), but in that case, feel free to describe the effects. I am interested in hearing about them, as I too would like to do my edits knowing that they won't result in bad layout effects in other skins than the one I am currently using. I would hope the Wikipedia code didn't allow such things to happen, though (?). --Wernher 03:30, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] He may choose that name

When (if) he succeeds to the Throne, it could be as (most likely) Haakon VIII, or maybe Magnus VII or even (though less likely), Haakon-Magnus I. Mightberight/wrong] 21:05, 28 October 2005.

I have a hazy memory that in some royal house or other (I'm thinking Italy or one of its predecessors) the monarchs typically had two names and a number for each, so he could be Haakon VIII Magnus VII. —Tamfang 06:24, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

When he succeeds, we'll have to move the article anyway. Let's leave this till then. Septentrionalis 17:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

So it is OK for this dictionary to contain errors? What a stupid concept. Dubidub 13:19, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article title

I suggest renaming the page "Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway". Haakon Magnus is his full baptismal name, but that is not the name he uses. This change will require an administrator (I think) since the page already exists as a redirect. Noel S McFerran 19:07, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Line of succession to the British throne

Why does the table at the end include "Line of succession to the British throne" ?

As a descendant of Maud of Wales, a granddaughter of Victoria of the United Kingdom, he is legally in the Line of succession to the British throne, as are the royal families of Sweden, Denmark, and Greece. The Spanish royal family would be as well, if not for their being Catholic. Hope that answers your question. Prsgoddess187 17:52, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

This is the kind of trivia which some Wiki-editors like - but it's entirely inappropriate for an encyclopedia. You wouldn't find this type of "information" in the Britannica, and it really shouldn't be here either. Noel S McFerran 02:37, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually this is the kind of lack on information that makes Encyclopædia Britannica a rather limited resource. I think we are doing a better job with variety of information if not in content. User:Dimadick

[edit] Page name

Why is this page named "Haakon Magnus, Crown Prince of Norway", when his correct name is "Crown Prince Haakon", not including Magnus? For a reference, see the official royal website at http://www.kongehuset.no/default.asp?lang=eng (click on The Royal family -> Today´s Royal Family -> HRH The Crown Prince).
