Title

I can't help but notice that this article is titled "Peter I of Yugoslavia", and it starts with "Peter I of Serbia". What was his official title? I doubt both are correct... Sideshow Bob 01:33, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

He was the king of Serbia after the coup in 1903 to the star of ww1 1914. And the from 1918 to his death he was king of Yugoslavia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.69.2.225 (talk) 22:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
He was never King of Yugoslavia, because the name Yugoslavia was introduced in 1929, and he died in 1921. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:49, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Serbian speakers

Royal names are generally translated, but I cannot find an English translaton for the name "Milena." Do any Serbophones have an answer?

Peter I of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes → Peter I of Yugoslavia — Relist Vegaswikian (talk) 05:44, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

I quote Kingdom of Yugoslavia: "For its first eleven years of existence it was officially called Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, but the term Yugoslavia was its colloquial name from the very beginning." As WP:NCROY states we do not have to respect monarch's formal titles e.g. "King of the Hellenes" or "King of the Swedes, Geats and Wends". If we don't call him this, why do we call his grandson Peter II of Yugoslavia? PatGallacher (talk) 00:17, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

His article also states "He is considered to be the founding father of Yugoslavia (this name, colloquial, but very widely used even in European maps during his day, became official in 1929)." PatGallacher (talk) 00:24, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

  • The sentence from Kingdom of Yugoslavia quoted by Pat in his rationale is tagged as needing citation. DrKay (talk) 14:43, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose. The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was a separate South Slav state. It was predecessor of Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which started in 1929. Petar I Karađorđević died 16 August 1921, which is 8 years before creation of Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Kebeta (talk) 19:12, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
    • You and Wanderer have been suggesting that but I can find you dozens of sources and an entire Wiki article (Creation of Yugoslavia) that directly contradicts it. Yugoslavia was formed in 1918, not 1929. It was merely founded under a different name and was to change it another four times. The exact official name is irrelevant, and that fact is illustrtaed in that the Kingdom of Yugoslavia article (and almost every single source available) includes the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes as the exact same country (i.e. the "first Yugoslavia", the Kingdom of Yugoslavia). --DIREKTOR (TALK) 19:15, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
      • Stjepan Radić was assassinated by a Montenegrin Serb politician in the parliament on 8 August 1928. Following the political crisis triggered by the shooting, in January 1929, King Aleksandar Karađorđević abolished the constitution, dissolved parliament, and declared a royal dictatorship, changing the country into the first Yugoslavia and oppressing national sentiments. All this happened after Peter I of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was already dead. Regards, Kebeta (talk) 20:44, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Oppose. I was going to leave this discussion alone, but DIREKTOR finds a need to drag my name into it. King Peter ruled over the Kingdom of Serbia from 1903 to 1918 and over the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes from 1918 until his death in 1921. Yugoslavia was simply not the name of the state during Peter's rule. I'd propose a renaming to King Peter of Serbia if anything. This was his preferred title, and the one most often used during and after his lifetime.New York Times Obituary, St. Petersburgh Times Obituary--Thewanderer (talk) 21:00, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
    • Bringing in a user with such a hostile attitude to a previously amicable discussion is an obvious error on my part, I agree. A slight error, though. You may feel free to "undrag" yourself at any time, Wanderer. This is not a discussion on notability - sovereign article names are generally exempt from it (a rare but notable exception), and have specific regulations on some aspects such as this. Even if this were a discussion on notability, neither source would be relevant since, even if we assume they represent it, contemporary notability (in 1921!) is hardly the criteria for article titles. --DIREKTOR (TALK) 21:12, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment I don't think we can call him Peter I of Yugoslavia, if the Kingdom of Yugoslavia didn't come into existence until eight years after his death. However, I'm not happy with the current title either. There was no country called Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. should it not be Peter I of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes? Skinsmoke (talk) 21:33, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Oppose, IMHO Peter I of Serbia would be the better name. GoodDay (talk) 22:16, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
    • I'm ok with "Peter I of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes" or "Peter I of Yugoslavia". Frankly it seems silly to use "Peter I of Serbia" since that country did not even exist at the time of his death. "Peter I of Yugoslavia" would be only slightly inaccurate, I admit, but only in that "Yugoslavia" was not the name that same country used at the time of his death, but it seems a much more elegant solution. --DIREKTOR (TALK) 00:24, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
My Funk/Wagnall encyclopedia has him titled Peter I of Serbia, which is good enough for me. GoodDay (talk) 14:53, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Its not the country he ruled. Are we going to be factual or are we going to repeat a common mistake here on Wikipedia as well? --DIREKTOR (TALK) 16:51, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Peter I of Serbs, Croates and Slovens is too long a title. This leaves us with 2 choices (IMHO) Peter I of Serbia or Peter I of Yugoslavia. I prefer the former. GoodDay (talk) 21:27, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
  • I don't oppose this move, as the suggested target is better than the current name. However, like others above, I marginally prefer "Peter I of Serbia". He is better known under that name (as he's more famous for being the King of Serbia during WWI who was made King of the new South Slav state dominated by Serbia after the war), is more frequently called that name (compare google books and scholar searches), was never officially King of a country called Yugoslavia, and was King of Serbia for five times longer than he was King of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The naming conventions may state that the official name of the state should be used, but in this case that creates an undesirably long title. The naming conventions also state that in cases where a monarch has ruled more than one country, and disambiguation is necessary, the most commonly associated state should be used as the disambiguator. In this case, I believe that the state most often associated with Peter is "Serbia". DrKay (talk) 07:25, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment I quite like DrKay's argument. Certainly Peter I of Yugoslavia is not appropriate, but I too could go with Peter I of Serbia. Skinsmoke (talk) 15:22, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment Why move it at all, it is a long name, but correct one. Kebeta (talk) 18:17, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Honours query

I question that King Peter was awarded the Prussian campaign medal for the Franco-Prussion War when, as his biography shows, he served on the French side and was a war prisoner of the Prussians! Is there citation evidence, sure it was not the French medal which was belatedly issued from 1911?Cloptonson (talk) 19:57, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

It's not sourced, so I've removed it. DrKay (talk) 20:18, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Subtitles

It appears that this article would be benefited with the use of subtitles, particularly the first section. Anyone opposed? Muttnick (talk) 04:04, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
