Duke John

Is that so? So who was John VI, Duke of Brittany then? The blue colour of the link should give you a clue. If you are referring to my edit to the Gilles de Rais article, it was explained in the edit summary. Paul B (talk) 11:12, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

I am not convinced he should be called John VI. The French Wiki calls him Jean V, the Breton Wiki calls him Yann V. His grandfather was not numbered not because of a French bias, but because there was no peace treaty in his lifetime it was a civil war and nobody was duke of all the Bretons between 1341 and 1364.

There is no reference in the Wiki article to justify the name John VI. And in the article about his father the only reference is a book from a well-known specialist who calls his father John IV: "Michael Jones, Ducal Brittany, 1364-1399: relations with England and France during the reign of Duke John IV" Patris22 (talk) 12:39, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

It's not a question of anyone being biassed. It's just that the links should go to the correct articles. I didn't choose to adopt this numbering system. I've no idea who did - whoever created the articles in the first place, I suppose. Yes, a lot of English literature uses the French numbering. The main English language book on John/Jean IV/V (Michael Jones' Ducal Brittany) calls him "John IV". I really don't know what the most common usage is in scholarly or other literature. I have simply tried to ensure that links go to the right articles. Paul B (talk) 12:45, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Usurpation request

I placed an usurpation request to replace this current name Patris22 by the name Pat22 I already use on the French Wiki and Breton Wiki (SUL account). Patris22 (talk) 18:00, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

It has been accepted today, and is now in effect :) Pat22 (talk) 17:45, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
