Efforts to reduce inappropriate style and content in this article may require request for external intervention. To avoid this, please let's stop adding and re-inserting non-encyclopedic matter. This has been complained of for years on the talk pages of royalty biographies. The editor responsible (committing the same errors at numerous biographical articles on the ], their spouses and in-laws, as well as the ], ], ], ], ], ] and ]), as well as on bios of members of other dynasties and noble families. |

The editor seldom responds to concerns expressed on talk pages or edit summaries, instead re-inserting deletions and moving the page while dismissing ''fact tags'' and edit summary objections. The problem persists in two forms: inappropriate style and inappropriate content. |
|
|
|
|
|
The content violates Misplaced Pages's ] against ]. It consists of excess in: |
|
|
*''Speculation'' (assumptions about the "feelings", "thoughts", "attractiveness" or "relationships" of long-dead persons, presented as if factual or probable. Yet usually there is no citation from the person's diary or correspondence, nor from a quote given by a direct observer); |
|
|
*''Trivia'' (information unimportant to the historical significance of the topic); |
|
|
*''Redundancies'' (information that is repeated more than twice in the article or which duplicates info that is/should be in a different article such as that of a parent, spouse, sibling or child); |
|
|
*''Extranea'' (superfluous information, only ]ially related to the topic). |
|
|
|
|
|
These edits reduce the professionalism of Misplaced Pages because they: |
|
|
#Gossip, including and purveying unsourced (and often, unsource-able) assertions that may be inaccurate |
|
|
#], using an editorial voice more appropriate to narrative in a novel than to an objective encylopedia |
|
|
#Distract, diverting the article's focus from the facts which make the subject encyclopedically significant |
|
|
#Inflate, padding the article, making it harder to notice when sources, editing or more substance is needed. ] (]) 06:26, 19 November 2010 (UTC) |
