This page has been protected for the past two weeks. No discussion has occurred on the issues at all in the talk page. Are the issues being resolved and the disputed parties moving towards discussion? If there are no objections, I will request unprotection for all the other users that wish to edit. Warring users should be dealt with through other means. Calwatch 00:14, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
The official portrait of HIH Olga on the article page.... it is strikingly similar to the dress that "Anastasia" wore in the final scene of the animated remake of Anastasia (voiced by Meg Ryan)... I have heard the film producers did research extensively the aspects of the Imperial Russian dress, culture, and the stories of Anna Anderson. But does the Duchess' dress match the one in the article photo??? If you need to see the picture of the animated-Anastasia dress, I bet you could find it on a related website...
Thanks

The photo in the article is of Olga Nikolaevna, not Olga Alexandrovna.
The full names of Nikolai, Tikhon, and Juri Kulikovsky highlighted in red (article to-be), are misrepresented. The full, styled names of the three are:
Until the actual full name (with correct title or usage) can be confirmed, I ask users not to create the red highlighting. If an article were written under those names they would be incorrect. -- AJ24 20:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Il serait peur-être intéressant de nommer "Ballerup-DK" où Olga vecu 18 ans ,et beaucoup de ses motifs représenta cette région, et qui possède (son musée) plus de 100 oeuvres de l'artiste. Je possède une très belle aquarelle de Olga, que je compte mettre sur Commons quand j'aurai fait une photo suffisante. -- 217.157.170.125 19:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Olga Alexandrovna never "reigned" so therefore she cannot be considered the last reigning member of the House of Romanov. I have deleted that phrase. Susan/sef127 ( talk) —Preceding comment was added at 16:16, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna was not the last surviving granchild of Emperor Alexander II. His grandson George, Count of Merenberg died in 1965, Countess Olga of Merenberg died in 1983. Prince Alexander Bariatinsky died in 1992. Prince Alexander Yurievsky died in 1988. All of them were granchildren of Alexander II and Princess Ekaterina Yurievskaya. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.56.225.108 ( talk) 18:42, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
She was, however, the last surviving granchild of Emperor Alexander II by his wife, Empress Maria Alexandrovna. I made this change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.56.225.108 ( talk) 18:45, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
The article is currently suffocated by lengthy and sometimes irrelevant quotations. I think the quotations that are relevant to the subject should be moved into the prose of the text and not as separate quote sections like they are now. There are several more issues in the text which I am going to address and would like to discuss with those interested in the future of this article:

Thanks for the review. Changes made. I have not changed "Conceivably, Olga..." because all three sources consider it a possibility, so it would appear to be the consensus scholarly view. The most repetitive part of the article is the section on Anna Anderson, but this sub-topic was contentious in the past (long edit wars on the AA article over it). So, it is lengthy and detailed in an effort to stave off any complaints about the content. DrKiernan ( talk) 16:57, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Anna Anderson section is unnecessary. Anderson has a long and very good article of her own to begin with. In the scope of the eventful life of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna her brief meetings with Anna Anderson amount to no more than a side note. To prove this point I have eliminated the section and expanded other more important aspects of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna’s life. Olga, no Anna Anderson, should be the central and only subject of the article. -- Miguelemejia ( talk) 21:06, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
The legacy section has its problems. On one hand is goes too long. Olga's legacy as an artist is not memorable. A skilful amateur artist at her best, she was certainly no Picazo. The lengthy quotations also must be minimized. Perhaps something else regarding today's view on her can be added or information on Olga's descendants-- Miguelemejia ( talk) 19:19, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
05 Dec 2012: Add 716 to the Gerrard Street address where she died. Noted here: http://www.angelfire.com/pa/ImperialRussian/romanovs/grandduchess01.html The building still stands with apartments on top and Dragonair Travel & Tours at the street level according to Google Maps. This matches the old newspaper photo on the angelfire site. ~EF — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.63.36.54 ( talk • contribs) 13:31, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

I see this article was written in British English ("jewellery"). Per MOS:RETAIN it ought to have been kept in this dialect unless there was a special reason to change it. It currently appears to be in a mixture of both dialects, which looks a bit weird. How did it pass through the TFA process like this? -- John ( talk) 21:32, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
We don't need to overlink France or Italy. That's only the first third of the article. I'm sure there is more but I have to take a break for now. -- John ( talk) 23:06, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
Why is the definite article sometimes used? I see that the Crimea article does not use it but this one does. Is the rule to say "the Crimea" when discussing events of the early 20th Century? TypoBoy ( talk) 23:45, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
