[edit] Two

There were two Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna: ( probably even more, but two significant ones )

1. Grand Duchess Maria daughter of Tsar Nicholas I born: 1819 / died: 1876 she married Maximillian de Beauharnais

2. Grand Duchess Maria daughter of the last Tsar Nicholas II born:1899 / died: 1918 she was executed by the Bolsheviks.

Since both their respective fathers were named: Nicholas, they both have the patronymic of Nikolaevna(?) -- there should be two distinct articles on these two with different labels? Right now there is only one article for the second one. There are references/links to the first one which are incorrectly linked to that article. There does not appear to be an article on the first Grand Duchess (1819-1876) if so, the links should be corrected.

[edit] Maria's Tonsil Operation

I was just wondering who put in the bit about Maria hemmorhaging in 1914?? I have never heard this before and just wondered what the historical source was. --SaraFL 11:48, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

I listed the source -- an old biography of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, quoting the grand duchess.--Bookworm857158367 17:51, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maria's birthdate

In 1900, the Old Style calender fell behind another day, so Maria's birthday is more accurately celebrated on the 27th of June, not the 26th.

According to [1] 14 June 1899 OS = 26 June 1899 NS all other calculations are irrelevant Alex Bakharev (talk) 05:43, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Relevance?

There have been several films, including the animated Anastasia (1997) and live action film of the same name starring Ingrid Bergman (1956). Also, there have been many novels focusing on the survival of the younger imperial children:

The Romanov Prophecy by Steven Berry in which Anastasia and Alexei were supposed to have survived. The Kitchen Boy by Robert Alexander in which one of the grand duchesses is rescued by one of her killers.

This has way more to do with Anastasia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.136.71.163 (talk) 20:01, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Sweeps

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. There are a couple of minor problems which should be addressed however. There are citations which appear in the middle of sentances. These should be moved to come after punctuation. There is also no need to repeatedly link Margaretta Eagar. Otherwise the article is excellent. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. Regards, Jackyd101 (talk) 00:52, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
