May Overthrow

Could somebody please copy edit May Overthrow. I can't make heads or tails of it. Thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:05, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

I did the best I could with it. How does it appear now?--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:20, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

article name?

Why is he at Alexander Obrenovich and the less known Alexander Karageorgevic is at Alexander of Serbia? john k 00:12, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I was about to ask roughly the same question: why was he moved to Alexander Obrenovic, which is neither his most common name in English nor the name that would be chosen according to current Wikipedia naming conventions? - Nunh-huh 10:25, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think I finished the moves and the disambiguation now. The Karađorđević/Obrenović distinction is always made, because otherwise one doesn't really know which Aleksandar is meant. I kept the anglicized "Alexander" but that's just because I don't want to get into an argument over that, too. --Joy [shallot] 10:55, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Move to Alexander I of Serbia?

There is absolutely no reason to move this article to Alexander I of Serbia. It confuses the issue of which Aleksandar you're talking about, Karađorđević or Obrenović. Also, it's quite insulting to insist on using common anglicized names, throughout the article, when it's perfectly clear what those names mean in English with the use of diacritics. I'm moving the page back to Aleksandar Obrenović. - Ghidra99 17:32, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

it cant be confused because Aleksandar Karadjordjevic was Alexander I of Yugoslavia (not Serbia) Alexander of Serbia could be only Aleksandar Obrenovic

Date of death

May 29 or June 11? I suppose the first is acc. to Julian calendar ("old style"), the second is Gregorian ("new-style"). Same logic in case of e.g. November 7, for the October 25 Revolution in Russia. In this article both dates are marked, without distinction. [akela3@freemail.hu], 23:48, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Abdication of his father

Milan Obrenović had abdicated for a reason: the liberal constitution of 1888. was a defeat for his autoritarian rule. He was in fact planning an abdication before the constitution. His own and his dynasty's survival was at stake, because he was widely unpopular in the people because of defeat in serbo-bulgarian war and because of his affairs with other women were not well accepted in patriarchal serbia. He enforced that constitution to make a stable rule for his son, Alexander. Vlada Stojanović

Alexander

If it's good enough for Russian tsars and the current president of Belarus, it's good enough for kings of Serbia. The guy is pretty much always called "Alexander" in English. john k 17:13, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Take references from Serbian literature!!!

I will try to fix some "holes" in this text, but as I see, this text is mostly based on American or that kind of literature. More than century has passed since his death, and Serbian sources are completely neutral now, because Obrenovic family and their followers have no infulence on Serbia now. My suggestion is recently re-accepted hystorian- Slobodan Jovanovic, which made a great contribution to whole modern history of Serbia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.244.195.158 (talk) 20:17, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Natalija was not regent in her son`s name

Natalija was already deported from Serbia, during Milan`s rule, so the regency council was created (most notable member was Jovan Ristic) before Alexander took over. Natalija eventually did return to Serbia for a while, but she withdrew to Biariz, when Milan decided to return as well... --DustBGD89-3 (talk) 14:23, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
