Photo rather than painted portrait

edit

I used the painted portrait in editing the earlier article because it is in color, is used at the top of French Wikipedia article, and shows him at his peak of his reign. The current photo comes from the end of his reign and makes him look old and asleep. I think the photo is acceptable, but I still wish we had a more sympathetic color portrait in the lead.Respectfully,SiefkinDR (talk) 11:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I do see your point. Most of his better quality photo portraits are for from later in his reign, thus he looks older and more tired (as he was in poor health the last years of his reign). But, I think photos (if available) should be used instead of portrait paintings. Photos give a more real representation of the subject. Robertus Pius (TalkContribs) 23:30, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

From Kassel to Kent

edit

It is said that he left Kassel on March 19 and arrived in England on March 20. That was not possible in 1871. Something has to be wrong here. 2A00:801:7B9:5F19:46D9:9B76:BE8B:5DDB (talk) 06:21, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Check the sources. We put down or change to what the sources say. If they are clearly wrong, check the quality of the sources and bring to talk to get opinion. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 07:55, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
