[edit] Badgers?
Um... wife of a reigning badger? That's vandalism, right? Bnovack 16:52, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Regents Should Be Removed
People listed as regents should be remove. If they're regents, they're regents, not Queen regnants. 24.14.120.92 04:08, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Isn't this list redundant when there is a category as well? --Peacenik 11:01, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Russian Queen Regnant
Why aren;'t there any Russian Queen Regnants? There were quite a few of them, from Olga (who might be technically controversial) to Elizabeth to Catherine II. I can't edit Wiki very well, so I'll put in the names, maybe someone can help me syntax it?

Technically you're right. However also technically, the word queen was never used in Russia nor in any country outside of Western Europe (Czarina, Pharaoh) - each of these is slightly different. I was interpreting "queen" to mean female head of state in a monarchy. At least, thats the best universal definition I can currently think of. If you think of anything, please get back to me.

[edit] Aceh
Err, anybody have sources about these queens? I am not sure that all of them are regent queen. Draconins 09:46, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Boudica?
Should she be on the list somewhere? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 22:48, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
I always thought of her as more of a tribal chieftain than a queen, but her article calls her a queen, so maybe that's the consensus among people who know more about the subject than I do. If so, yeah, she should probably be added. Ştefan 19:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
While we are on the topic, what about the Queen of Sheba? Crypticfirefly 15:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Grand Duchess of Luxemberg?
Should Marie-Adélaïde and Charlotte be on the list? --Oh~my goDnesS 04:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Louise-Hippolyte of Monaco
Louise-Hippolyte, Princess of Monaco was the soverign Princess of Monaco, equivalant to a queen regnant.
[edit] Order of list
Why is the list ordered such? Currently, it starts with Scotland/England/UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Spain... and ends in Persia/Iran. Can we alphabetize instead? I do see a little difficulty in alphabetizing, regarding those countries that are listed under multiple names (such as Scotland/England/etc.), but I think it would be better to have some semblance of order than none at all. schi talk 20:14, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] POV
Queen Liliuokalani is described as "a pretender to the throne" after her forced abdication, which seems a rather non-neutral description. I'm changing that line to make it work better.134.82.108.5 21:02, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
