{{edit semi-protected|Marie Antoinette|answered=yes}}
Hi! Dialuanny0 here! Back in January/February 2022, I saw a Misplaced Pages user make a topic on this article’s talk page about the infobox photo. They were talking about reverting it the original one/changing it to something else, which I can agree with. They made a good argument about it. It has been awhile since then, and I’m ready to talk about changes with the infobox photo! Here are some photos that I think we could possibly change the infobox image to:
Change her full name from "Maria Antoina Josefa Johanna" to "Maria Antonia Josefa Johanna"
(Spelling error in Antonia, the name is spelled correctly in the rest of the article but not right at the start) ] (]) 17:29, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Regarding the family tree near the bottom of the page, what is Henrietta of England doing among the ancestors of Louis XV?
So you basically propose to delete "In spite of her very ample proportions ...". I agree, this is insensitive and fat-shaming. ] (]) 14:03, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
Louis XIV's wife was Maria Teresa of Spain, mother of the Grand Dauphin (Louis XV's grandfather). As daughter of Felipe IV of Spain, Maria Teresa was also the niece of Louis XIV's mother, a daughter of Felipe III and halfsister of Felipe IV)... the present family tree does away with the cause of the war for Spanish Succession (Queen Anne's War, in the tradition of US historians) and gets rid of all the Spanish line of Bourbons that reaches until today!!
:Honestly, I feel like that whole section above could be deleted. While I'm certainly not an expert on Marie Antoinette, I can't see how talking about her 'bearing' is relevant in the slightest - if this is somehow relevant and I'm simply missing context please do correct me though.

Hello I simply added the impact of Marie Antoinette on her court and the fashion of her days ; Marie Antoinette life was affected deeply first by her fashion impact ; she was a model in fashion who was followed in all Europe . In addition this was a very important political issue with time , the people of France began to turn on their queen because of her lifestyle and this affected her popularity leading to the French Revolution.
If you read any book on Marie Antoinette this was a very important issue for her before the birth of her children. Frankly a controversy over an issue who defined 20 years of the queen life : she was called the queen of fashion in spite that she gained a lot of ample proportions ; I’am simply describing the historical fact and not fat-shaming her but glorifying her as the queen of fashion in history despite her fat (fat is beautiful if you want ) ; but that is not the crux of the matter, it is one line in a whole paragraph. We can’t judge people who live 200 years ago according to our modern standards; their ideas were different than us . This is not an ideological article but an historical one ] (]) 16:01, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

European History is my speciality ; this article is good but It need some sources who are missing. To see how I work I saw in the article of another important queen ] that the establishment of the first colony in North America is not mentioned and the fondation of the Eastern Company for India ; I added both ; here I saw the same problem; a major fact of Marie Antoinette life and impact was missing.
Thank you all.

In conclusion I added important new sources here to show the impact of that subject in Marie Antoinette life . This was a very important feature who defined her life for more than a decade with a massive social , political and cultural impact felt all over the world for a long period of time. I think it is worth a new paragraph who should be added to the article. Also it is very important to diversify the sources in that article who depend heavily on Fraser ( A great historian but who should not be the only or even major source of her life ).
Thank you all.

Louis XIV's wife was Maria Teresa of Spain, mother of the Grand Dauphin (Louis XV's grandfather). As daughter of Felipe IV of Spain, Maria Teresa was also the niece of Louis XIV's mother, a daughter of Felipe III and halfsister of Felipe IV)... the present family tree does away with the cause of the war for Spanish Succession (Queen Anne's War, in the tradition of US historians) and gets rid of all the Spanish line of Bourbons that reaches until today!!
