Juan Carlos. Wow. What a guy. I love Juan Carlos. By the way, I have no idea what I am talking about. I'm just a bored student waiting for my classes to start and trying to find out the full name of King Juan Carlos of Spain for my Spanish III Honors class. Hmm...I can't seem to find the information. Will somebody please tell me? Because I would be greatly indebted to you. Thank you very much.
Love, Amanda

Dear Amanda,
It's "Juan Carlos de Borbon y Borbon", or possibly "Juan Carlos Alfonso Victor Maria de Borbon y Borbon". We are not a homework service. Your mission, should you accept it, is to write a proper article here on Juan de Borbon.
Sincerely,
The Wikipedia
Jeez. We had a mediocre stub here half an hour ago. Now look at it! :-) FearÉIREANN 04:29 20 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Is this the proper title for this article? That is, should the surname be used. Should it just be "Juan, Count of Barcelona"? john k 16:28, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Explain the heir line
There should be some explanation of how the fourth son became heir apparent. Mention the Carlists that recognized Juan, too.
- There also needs to be more detail -- when was Juan in the Royal Navy? Where was he born? Educated? Died? And a full article is needed on his wife, the present king's mother. (I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable in recent Spanish history to want to take this on.) --Michael K. Smith 21:02, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ancestor infobox
Cosmos666 has added a box which shows Juan'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?

- I added the infobox to make the article comply with the others spanish sovereigns. I was in doubt if it was necessary for the count of Barcelona since he was never king. Ultimately if the infobox is too much, remove it.--Cosmos666 22:47, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
The ancestor infobox has an error, showing Wilhelmina of Baden where Julie von Hauke, Princess of Battenberg, should have been shown as the wife of Alexander of Hesse.
