The above proposal for move has caused much problems, since the proposer made a typo when writing the new heading. Obviously a result of too busy work and too little carefulness (no surprise when seeing who proposed). After which, several editors have perpetuated the error. 217.140.193.123 1 July 2005 16:48 (UTC)

On the image page, however, Craigy144 identifies it as Public Domain. Mdotley 20:32, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
You don't want any effort done to not make the image choice look like it was scratched up by a team of bobcats all over her face on your day in the mainpage?
I can live with your decision. I shan't bother to finish the restoration, I shan't bother to try and put it back, it's obvious that any such work won't be appreciated. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 05:01, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: moved as requested, no objections raised. Dekimasu よ! 05:24, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
Olga Constantinovna of Russia → Olga Konstantinovna of Russia – Per WP:CONSISTENCY and standard transliteration of Russian names. Her father's article and those of her siblings ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) have "Konstantin" and "Konstantinovna" in their main titles. Keivan.f Talk 22:07, 3 August 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. Dekimasu よ! 01:57, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
@ Keivan.f: This article is now inconsistent, because all the Greek royals called Constantine use a C, except this one. The article is now a mixture of "Konstantin.." and "Constantine". DrKay ( talk) 07:53, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
Which is why I did not link any of the pages above, but Romanization of Russian, which lists the transliteration systems in actual use by linguists, governments, etc. There's a very convenient table for which letters are transliterated how. Constantine ✍ 21:39, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
Plus the discussion above began with the comment "because all the Greek royals called Constantine use a C, except this one. The article is now a mixture of "Konstantin.." and "Constantine"." My point here is that this is mixing up different things (an English form of the native name, vs. a transliterated form), and hence not a valid argument, and a discussion lacking appropriate basis. If you want to decide based on WP:COMMONNAME, fine by me, just don't decide for reasons of consistency between two entirely different things... Constantine ✍ 21:45, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
I've removed this section because it's poorly sourced (primary sources that fail verification or contradict themselves) and dubious. It's a new addition and is attracting inexplicable drive-by edits without edit summaries. DrKay ( talk) 07:13, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
