Talk:List of longest reigning current monarchs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Should delete Tonga monarch
One of the Andorran Co Princes is in the list...Should not the other be in as well?
The other one I think is the French president who doesn't hold the office for life. Kennelly 12:14, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uganda
According to this [1] site, Henry Wako Muloki held office from 1955-1962 and then again only since 1995; so he hasn't been in office for 51 years, but only for 18 years together. Kennelly 09:25, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Government in Exile
Should Tenzin Gyatso be on this list? Does a deposed monarch count as a reigning monarch? --Mishalak 17:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Good question, I don't know. —Nightstallion (?) 02:36, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
- A deposed monarch dosen't belong on the list. Why, because if he/she are deposed, they no longer reign (this articlee is for reigning monarchs). GoodDay 13:50, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Independant Nation monarchs?
Did not some of the monarchs/rulers begin their respective reigns, under foreign powers? If so should this be stressed? GoodDay 02:20, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] traditional monarchies
Should traditional monarchies like Ashanti, Zulu, etc. be listed here? Their status seems rather different from that of actual heads of state. john k 10:21, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] HH
Isn't it a bit misleading to list the pope as HH on a list with so many other HH's? The others are His Highness, the pope is His Holiness. Also, it is customary refer to the Dalai Lama as His Holiness. Not to do so when all the others have theor proper honorific seems a slight. --Klausok (talk) 06:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Emirates in the UAE
It seems a little ridiculous to have Emir Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qassimi as number two on the list after explaining in the lead paragraph why he shouldn't be there. Since all the info in the table should be easy to find elsewhere, I am going to unilaterally remove him. If it is later determined he really does belong on the list, and the info here is mysteriously absent from other articles which deal with him, we can always revert.
- EDIT: Now (15:42) having carried out my decision, I can say with confidence that someone should edit the wikitable template (or class, or whatever... it didn't look like a normal template) to handle numbering automagically. I'd do it myself except, one, I don't know where, or exactly what, it is, and two, I'm afraid of breaking it.
- Edit the Second (15:48: Having read the lead paragraph more carefully, I revert my edit. Now I feel foolish. However, my observation on wikitable still stands.
