This article appears to meet all the criteria for a good article, so I'm passing it. Bookworm857158367 15:15, 7 February 2007
Bombardment of Athens
In the first paragraph of the "Successive life crises" section there is an offhand reference to the "French bombardment of Athens on 1 December 1916." Having never heard of this before I poked around a bit and couldn't find any more info at 1 December 1916, history of athens, athens, greece, or History of Greece, nor through WWI or any of the obvious sub pages linked from there. I did find a brief discussion of this at History of modern Greece#WWI and linked to that. --john.james (talk) 03:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Schizophrenia?
The article says she was "diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia" but that she recovered and led a productive life thereafter. I didn't think you could do that in those days; did she really recover, or did she really have schizophrenia in the first place? Moonraker12 (talk) 08:29, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
she was confirmed in the Protestant faith
Which Protestant faith? Church of England? Be specific. Most Protestant faiths don't have any confirmation. jnestorius(talk) 11:43, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Princess Andrew?
Did Princess Alice really gain the title Princess Andrew?
I saw that edit by some anonymous editor and thought to change it, but searched back to 2007 edits where this had not been changed.
Don't know enough about the topic, so I will leave the edit to someone else, just wanted to point it out!

- Yes. She got it in virtue of being married to Prince Andrew, in the same way that the present-day Princess Michael of Kent gets her title from her husband. 137.222.162.226 (talk) 11:28, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

- I wondered about this; it says "Thereafter, Alice was known by English-speakers as 'Princess Andrew'..." which was news to me (being an English speaker, and English, to boot). I know Pr. Michael uses that form, but I also thought she was the exception. Moonraker12 (talk) 16:04, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
