Talk:Louis XVIII

Images

Do you think we should make the images of Louis XV, Louis XVI, Louis XVIII, and Charles X them in normal attire instead there coronation robes? Just a question--Orson1234 (talk) 06:49, 22 October 2021

Article quality

Since it has been awhile since the last assessment, I have had another look at the current version and noticed uncited statements. Should this article be posted at WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 16:47, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Uncited statements, including entire paragraphs and the entire "Film and television" section. Unresolved "citation needed" tags since June 2024. Z1720 (talk) 13:37, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

I've removed the film and television section as unsourced & trivial (as most such sections are). There are still 6 CN tags, though. Hog Farm _talk 01:15, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Can anyone tell me on why this article is protected?

I’m not interested in editing it I would just like to know why this article is not allowed to be edited on? Johnarhanthehsifi (talk) 02:38, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

It was WP:SILVERLOCK protected in March 2025 due to persistent vandalism.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 05:24, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

But it doesn’t make any sense? I mean, he’s obviously not a controversial figure or even a popular one for that matter Johnarhanthehsifi (talk) 20:06, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

The article has been targeted by one of our more persistent (and tedious) long-term nuisances, who is still active. With characters like that, it doesn’t make any sense is an irrelevant concept. Favonian (talk) 20:19, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

weight

"At the time of his marriage, Louis Stanislas was obese and waddled instead of walked." This statement obviously isn't true. I don't know what Antonia Fraser is basing that on, but clearly she is not correct. It seems like much of what she says is taken as gospel whether it's true or not. There is a painting of him here on the page from 10 years after he married showing him clearly not remotely obese. I'm also including a link to a painting done of him only a year or two before he married where he clearly is not remotely obese.
