Talk:Massimo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Without references? Speedy delete! Or at least a speedy revert to a version where HRH isn't inserted everywhere and probably fictional heirs aren't being added anonymously every 2nd day. There are 1000's of people with the surname Massimo.

Continued anonymous edits inserting HRH and removing the notice of lack of references for the info have been reverted. I think this article needs a re-write or a removal of unreference material. I have made a start. Paul Beardsell (talk) 22:27, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

All references to HRH titles are correct, as all the princesses cited came from Royal Families. For example, HRH keeps being removed from both Princess Beatrice of Borbon and Princess Maria-Adelaide of Savoy-Genoa. Why? They were both royal princesses who carried the HRH title. Princess Beatrice was the daughter of the pretender to the Spanish throne and Princess Maria-Adelaide was the neice of the reigning King of Italy. For example please see http://www.geocities.com/henrivanoene/gensavoy4.html for the latter. Please check your facts before deleting historically correct, factual references such as these.

All references to current or recent family members come from the Paul Theroff Gotha website (the best on the web) as well as the current version of the Almanach de Gotha. For ease please check out: http://pages.prodigy.net/ptheroff/gotha/massimo.html, and you will see all members referenced there.

Article now partly referenced. More references to come. The story of the family is documented in countless history books, many of which are in Italian, but many of which are in English. There are also very reliable passages on the family in the numerous books on the palaces of Rome.
