English names
editWhere a name of a monarch is dramatically different in english to the native language, and the person is widely known in the english-speaking world by the english version, english wiki uses the english version. So while Carol II for example, is widely known as . . . Carol II, Michael is generally called that internationally, even if in Romania is goes by a native version of the name. So I have changed the name in the list here on english wiki to the most recognisable english version to following naming conventions, ie, Michael. STÓD/ÉÍRE 00:27 Apr 14, 2003 (UTC)
Naming Practices
editIt is important for the sake of documentation of avoidance of confusion if we use both Michael as well as Mihai as long as it is clear to the reader/researcher that this is the same person.
I also feel using both Bucharest as well as Bucuresti with the special Romanian character will welcome our Romanian readers (most of who will speak English but appreciate their culture being in tact).
Cheers.
Shouldn't this be called
editKing of the Romanians?
- I think the Kings themselves used both versions of their title: "of Romania" and "of the Romanians". Lil' mouse 2 (talk) 07:44, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Article name
editIf the article reads, from the begining:
King of the Romanians (Romanian: Regele Românilor)rather than King of Romania (Romanian: Regele României) was the official title of the ruler of the Kingdom of Romania from 1881 until 1947 when Romania was proclaimed a republic.
why is the article still named "King of Romania"?
Please note that I do realize the... conflict: on all the coins, all the Kings where titled "of the Romanians", but as a royal house they are titled "of Romania".

2 Wikipedia pages on the same subject (Rejected request)
editThere are 2 Wikipedia articles about the Kingdom of Romania:
- Kingdom of Romania
- King of the Romanians (same subject)
It makes sense to merge the pages. See also:
A history merging will be necessary. --Mr. Boston (talk) 00:29, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

editArticle name should be moved to Monarchy of Romania. GoodDay (talk) 21:13, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
- Why? Anonimu (talk) 20:21, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- Because that's the standard name for most of the other monarchy pages - Monarchy of country. GoodDay (talk) 02:51, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

King of the Romanians → King of Romania – Clearly the common name: [1]. Half a million ghits for "King of Romania"[2], 64 for "King of the Romanians"[3] DrKay (talk) 07:47, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- Move, as more common in English. In Romanian both terms have been used, however King of Romania was used for longer (by Carol I and during Michael I's first reign). Anonimu (talk) 10:12, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- Suppport per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 13:45, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
- Support per the nomination as the more common name in English.--Yaksar (let's chat) 18:28, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
