Why is this Alphonso and not Alfonso? If we want to anglicize it, why not go the full nine yards and make it Alphonse? - user:Montrealais
Because when someone imported vast piles of rubbish from the Brittannica we got the Alphonsos. That's how Britain was spelling it then. Lots of our nomenclature problems can be traced to the same source. Sad, isn't it? MichaelTinkler
Shall we change them? As it's now spelled, it makes no sense. Does anyone spell it Alphonso other than misguided encyclopædia readers? - user:Montrealais
As it is almost four months later and nobody has objected, I think I'll start moving the Alfonsos of Spain to "Alfonso," where I think they should be. - Montréalais
Go for it! -- Zoe
Yes, please do. See also talk:Alphonso. --mav
Did the Count of Barcelona really renounce his claims only in 1977, after his son was already on the throne for two years? john 18:30 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
CAn anyone provide a sourse for Franco's statement that he wouldn't accept Alfonso as the King?
Why was he Alphonse II of France for the Legitimists, according to the french version of Wikipedia he should be Alphonse I? Xerxes M.F. 27.8.2006
[edit] Ancestor infobox
Cosmos666 has added a box which shows Alfonso's four grandparents and eight great-grandparents. This is certainly not usual for an encylopedia article (indeed, often not for a full-length book about the subject). I suggest removal. If not, what are the limits to this? Noel S McFerran 04:07, 27 October 2006 (UTC) Pretty weak biography don't you think?
- I rather like the info box, just not where it is located. Also, since the succession boxes have been hit with the citation fiends lately, this too should probably have some citation somewhere noting where the genealogy derives. I think this box style, though, could work somewhere on the page and for other pages that lack a certain ancestral attribute.
–Whaleyland ( Talk • Contributions ) 03:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)- On a second look, I believe it is overzealous. As can be shown with the broken links, the list does not need to go three generations, two would due. Additionally, the listing of each with a title such as father and mother seems a little juvenille. I think we can figure that much out. I will work with what this person made and see if I can get something a bit more fluid out of it. Maybe something that would work with the succession lists at the bottom of the page.
