Russian Homage

[edit]

Why is it not mentioned in the article?

Also, the article mentions that "in 1610, he was deposed by his former adherents Princes Vorotynsky and Mstislavsky, and made a monk". If so, how could he pay homage to Sigismund III Vasa as a Russian Czar on 29 October 1611? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danvolodar (talkcontribs) 16:55, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Ghirlandajo should justify his changes not me.--Emax 08:00, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)

And why is that? Are you special in some way? You made the dubious changes, please justify them. --Gene s 08:19, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

User:Space Cadet wrote in the summary: I already discussed on your own Talk page. And without your ridiculing and patronizing. Just for the record what he wrote in my talk page:

I engage in reverts of incorrect information, because and only when I truly believe it is incorrect. Sometimes I have a difficulty using Talk pages (when I run out of coins in an internet cafe) and sometimes I forget the edit summaries. Mea Culpa. Space Cadet 08:42, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

That is not a meaningful reply. --Gene s 10:24, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Gordian knot

[edit]

Gentlemen, I untied the Gordian knot for you by placing both of the rulers in the succession box and adding a {{disputed}} tag. I believe it should stay there until the matter is resolved here. Please, don't make me ask for protection of this page. Halibutt 10:42, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)

Yes, he should be listed there. At least with a note, explaining this as a historical curiosity. I'd do the same for Wladyslaw as a tzar or Russian tzars as rulers of Poland, add them to a list with <sup>1</sup> note below explaining that the title is controversial because... Btw, the same thing is with Wladyslaw being King of Sweden, Goths and Vandals - IIRC he never step one foot there, but I hear nobody complaining. The fact is that he had a reason to call himself that. Should we censore it out or explain why he insisted on doing that, even if he wasn't really a Tsar? Are we builing an NPOV Encyclopedia or not? Btw, I like the idea of putting two names in the template. We can have the real tsar and the 'wannabe' Wladislaw with a note, nicely fixing everything, don't you think so? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 10:46, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Let's avoid repeating everything. I suggest we use Talk:Michael I of Russia as the primary talk page. --Gene s

Godunov to Nicholas II by Saul Zaklad

Conflict

[edit]

Okay, was Vasya IV the last Rurikid Tsar, or was it Feodor I? THe pages on the two Tsars and the Rurik dyanasty all conflict.--ChadThomson 07:33, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Feodor was the last Rurikid tsar from the legitimate House of Moscow. Vasily IV was also a Rurikid, but he was not chosen by people and his legitimacy was not backed up by tradition. --Ghirlandajo 07:38, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vasili?

[edit]

Normally it's romanised as Vasily (my preference) or Vasiliy. Vasili is wrong. This needs admin intervention. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 22:51, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Further to the above, how could he have been born Vasily Ivanovich Shuisky, but become Tsar Vasili? This utter inconsistency in romanisation is very telling. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 18:49, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Exiled by Boris Godunov?

[edit]

According to the article False Dmitry I

...many of the noble families exiled by Godunov - such as the Shuiskys, Golitsins and Romanovs - were granted his [False Dmitry] grace and allowed to return back to Moscow

However this article mentions no such thing. Instead we have

...[Shuisky] went to Uglich to inquire into the cause of the death of the Tsarevich Dmitry Ivanovich... Shuisky reported that it was a case of suicide... On the death of Boris... Shuisky went back upon his own words in order to gain favour with the pretender False Dmitriy I

Suggesting that Shuisky remained loyal to Godunov until the later's death.

What is correct?

Family

[edit]

Can someone add something about his wives and two daughters in the article?--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 05:55, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
