Naming policy
I do not know what the naming policy for royalty is, and therefore one of the changes I have made may need to be changed back again. I have redirected "Charles I (Britain)"* to Charles I, on the grounds that other king Charleses would in fact be known by different names in their own countries: Carlos, Carolus, Karl. If this change is undone, then the page name for Charles I would have to be changed also. --Martin Wyatt 20:17, 26 May 2013 (UTC) *Just to be pedantic (why not?) "Charles I (Britain)" is incorrect, because he was king of two separate kingdoms, England and Scotland. --Martin Wyatt 21:14, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
