Opening heading

edit

I think when it comes to categories his last name must be capitalised otherwise it doesn't list him under the 'D' it lists him under the 'd' list, which it ranks after the letter Z. Thus, in order for him to be recognised in alphabetical order, it must be 'D', not 'd'.

If he's listed under either "D" or "d", he's listed wrong. "Henri d'Orléans" is alphabetized under "O". Seems like something which requires a technical solution. - Nunh-huh 07:10, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
In the interim until such a solution is met should efforts be made to compensate for the system's shortcoming? i.e. when it comes to how he is categorised putting his name as "Orléans, Henry, Comte de Paris" instead of "d'Orléans, Henry, Comte de Paris"? - Greaser 10:21, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Well, it's still quite wrong<g> but it may be the best we can do! I'm a little surprised that a multi-lingual framework like Mediawiki has such rudimentary sorting, but it's probably not wise to wait until it's fixed.... - Nunh-huh 00:29, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

He should be alphabetized at 'O'. Compare: you alphabetize Richelieu at R, not at d... "d'" or "de" just mean "of", before a land title of nobility. David.Monniaux 21:34, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup-tag

edit

I added the cleanup-tag a while ago. I did it because I felt that the article need som structure, eg headers would be good. David Björklund 23:24, 19 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

I've cleaned up a bit and removed the tag. I didn't feel an article this short needs further subdivision. - Nunh-huh 01:21, 20 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Political leftism?

edit

The article on Legitimists says that he lost support among legitimists due to his "political leftism." If anyone knows anything more about that, it would be a valuable addition to the article. Kevin Nelson 08:48, 18 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Chart

edit

I think that this ancestry chart makes the triple descent more obvious:

Ferdinand Philippe Rosolin d'Orleans
Maria Amelia Teresa of the Two Sicilies
Robert Philippe Louis Eugene d'Orleans
Friedrich Ludwig of Mecklenburg-Schwerin
Helene of Mecklenburg-Schwerin
Caroline Luise of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach
Jean d'Orleans
Louis Philippe of France (=#16)
Francois Ferdinand Philippe d'Orleans
Maria Amelia Teresa of the Two Sicilies (=#17)
Francoise Marie Amalie d'Orleans
Pedro IV of Portugal
Francoise Caroline Jeanne de Brasil
Leopoldina of Austria
Henri Robert Ferdinand Marie Louis Philippe d'Orleans

I think you mean quadruple :-P Yes, it does, but the lengthiness of it strikes me as somewhat problematic. It would be nicer it the parent boxes could "nest" around each respective child because it's almost going off of the page for me and I have a relatively large resolution.

Something like this, then, but I have no idea how to do it in Wiki markup so it'll link anywhere....   - Nunh-huh 23:25, 11 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

That's kind of what I mean, yes. I think that there should be a standard chart implemented to show ancestry anyway and something that is compact horizontally, like you posted, would be the best idea. Is there anywhere to post where people would know how to create such a thing? Charles 01:03, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Nunh-huh pointed me to this discussion and asked if I could make a compact version of the ahnentafel templates. Here's what I came up with:

Friedrich Ludwig of Mecklenburg-Schwerin
Helene of Mecklenburg-Schwerin
Caroline Luise of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach

Is it anything like what you needed? —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 01:36, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
I think that's a great improvement. And thanks for {{template:ahnentafel-compact4}} as well... - Nunh-huh 01:40, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Wow, that's fantastic! :-) Charles 03:16, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Title

edit

What was his courtesy title prior to his father's death? Did he have one, or was he just Prince Henri d'Orléans? john k (talk) 16:12, 15 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

The New York Times article announcing the birth of his daughter, before he was the pretender, has him as Count of Paris so it was probably his title all along. Seven Letters 20:23, 15 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Page moved to Henri, Count of Paris. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:13, 8 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Prince Henri, Count of ParisHenri d'Orleans, Count of Paris – The proposed form of the name for this French pretender is from the obituary published by Sapa-AFP, France’s main news service. The AP's obituary, run in numerous newspapers, gives him as “Henri d’Orleans, the Count of Paris”. The obit in The Economist calls him “Henri d’Orleans". As far as “prince" goes, it does appear in the WP:RS in a minority of references. But as it was not a legally recognized title of nobility, it should be dropped off the same way we would “president”, “general”, “Dr.”, etc. The main problem with the current title is that he is given without a surname. This is royal style and certainly not majority usage in the RS. If you want to find more information about this person, you need to know his surname and look for him under “Henri d’Orleans" (although that will also give his son, the current pretender). Looking for “Prince Henri” or “Count of Paris” won’t turn up anything relevant. For example, French Wiki gives the subject as fr:Henri d'Orléans (1908-1999).

Inaccuracy in Hal Vaughan paragraph?

edit

Hi there. I know generally the best thing for editors to do is to fix issues rather than just flagging/noting them and then moving along and leaving them for someone else to fix, but I'm very far from an expert on this area and don't have time in the foreseeable future to do all the research required to get myself up to speed. As such, I'm just going to point something out here, and hopefully someone else can resolve it, if it needs resolving.

In this article, it says "As historian Hal Vaughan notes in his book FDR's 12 Apostles (Guilford, CT.: Lyons Press, 2006), 224 & 296 n 489, in mid-November 1942, Henri d'Astier de la Vigerie, a Vichy intelligence official serving under Admiral Darlan (who had just signed an armistice with American and British forces that allowed Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of North Africa), attempted to promote a royalist coup, and had colleagues Abbe' Cordier and Master-Sergeant Sabatier (a French instructor at an OSS-SOE camp in Algiers) secretly bring Henri, Comte de Paris from Morocco to d'Astier's apartment in Algiers. Both Darlan and U.S. General Eisenhower nixed the idea, however."

I was trying to edit that just to make it more readable and understandable, rather than having a rather long and convoluted sentence, when I discovered there was a Wikipedia article for Henri d'Astier de la Vigerie. Based on what that article says, it seems that this paragraph is misrepresenting the story. There it says d'Artier was a member of the Resistance, and "d'Astier and the local Resistance infiltrated the Vichy infrastruction in North Africa" – so not really what's conveyed by just saying he was "a Vichy intelligence official". Furthermore, the article doesn't mention anything about d'Astier trying to promote a royalist coup and Darlan nixing this idea, which doesn't at all mean that that didn't happen, but it would seem to be a big omission, especially given that later d'Astier was involved in kidnapping/arresting Darlan.

But all I'm going on here is an apparent inconsistency between two Wikipedia articles, and this seems like it might be one of those cases where there's not so much an inaccuracy as a slightly misleading phrasing or an omission of important information. So that's hard to correct, especially for someone (like me) who lacks general knowledge on the surrounding events. So if some other editor who knows more about this stuff sees this, could you look into what actually happened in these events and edit this article, and maybe the d'Astier one too, so that the reality is more clearly and accurately reflected? Thanks. BreakfastJr (talk) 13:16, 13 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
