[edit]

It is true that her husbands homosexuality or bisexuality was never confirmed, as it was forbidden in those days, but it is of interest to be mentioned to understand her life and position, and i think it is better and more professionall to insert a: " However, this was just a rumour", than to delete it enirely, dont you think so to? --Aciram 09:28, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By all means, include it. What was there before, about an "official lover" was obviously false. I have no problem with what it says now.--Barend 09:40, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why change picture?

[edit]

I really don't understand why the old picture was remowed. The old picture and the new picture are exactly the same, except that the new one are without color. Therefore, i don't understand why it was remowed. If it was replaced with a new image, it could be because it was something wrong with the old one. But it is the same image, and therefore, i do not understand why we cant use the one with color, simply because it is more beautiful. Is there a reason for this? --85.226.235.206 (talk) 16:58, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blanka of NamurBlanche of Namur — This queen is much better known as Blanche of Namur. 157 books refer to her as Blanche of Namur. On the other hand, only 14 books refer to her as Blanka of Namur. It is a simple case where the most common name rule should be respected. Surtsicna (talk) 20:30, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More importantly, in my opinion, Blanche is English, Blanka is not. My views on frequency versus English are on my user page. The article should be renamed. I suggest Blanche of Namur, Queen of Sweden and Norway. SergeWoodzing (talk) 21:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In order to have the article titled Blanche of Namur, Queen of Sweden and Norway, you will have to convince a majority of Wikipedians to overrule the most common name rule and change the naming conventions. Until you do so, could you please confirm that you think that this queen should be called Blanche? Surtsicna (talk) 21:23, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
