does not belong with this article. This is a Prince Albert of Monaco, but it's not Prince Albert I of Monaco, it's the current (as of yet non-reigning) one. This is clear not only from the fact that it's a color photograph, but that he's speaking at the UN, an organization which post-dates the Albert in question. -- Someone else 16:56, 9 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Nunh-huh wishes the article to use U.S. format dates. We have discussed this extensively on his talk page and at Talk:Rainier III, Prince of Monaco. Monaco uses International dating (as does the UK, and indeed, most of the world), and that is a substantial reason to change the article's format to International Dates, rather than American Dates.
With all respect, Nunh-huh does not seem to have access to all the facts. I ask him again to provide details of the "longstanding rule" to which he refers, but the current policy is as per the MoS reference I have already given. Let me quote it:
Perhaps Nunh-huh is referring to this section on disputes over styles:
The substantial reason for the change in date formats in this article is that Monaco uses the "littleendian" date format of Day Month Year, as may be seen in the prince's official site, already linked above. In addition, the date formats were inconsistent and I rationalised them, as per my edit summary. I thank jtdirl for his contribution in this matter. Looking back over his contributions to Wikipedia it is clear that he is an expert in applying consistent and coherent styles as per the MoS, especially when fine interpretations over hotly contested topics are required, and we may all benefit from his advice. -- Jumbo 22:15, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
The article states "Caroline had tried to make a marital match between Albert and Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, the first cousin of Queen Victoria and future mother of Britain’s Queen Mary, but to no avail" - are there any sources for this. The Princess was married in 1866 aged 30 having had problems finding a husband, while Albert at that time was only 18. Even allowing for the dynastic advantages - this does sound a little unlikely.
