Name[edit]

There's not a lot on him in English at all, but with the exception of Hans Cools using "de Glymes-Berghes" everything there is calls him "Robert of Berghes". --Andreas Philopater (talk) 23:48, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Very wel, then you should make this unlogical surname clarified in the article, now it does not make sence at al, It is accualy stupid when your father is called de Glymes.--Carolus (talk) 20:57, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Page move[edit]

Since the user making the page move knew it would be controversial (see above, stupid etc.), and made no attempt to justify it or reach consensus, I have reverted it. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 18:18, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no consistancy in naming this family, rediculous? De van Of Berghes??? De van of Grimberghen?? This geleanlogy is worth nothing. It is confusing for all readers what the family name is??? IOf you want to anglicanise the family name it should be Robert of Bergen, and not half French and half English logic.--Carolus (talk) 21:31, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a question of what anybody wants, it's a question of what our sources say. There's no need to shoehorn them into an anachronistically modern sense of consistency. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 21:48, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes there is; wikipedia is rediculous if everyone of the same family has a different surname. Sources are not sacred.--Carolus (talk) 02:05, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Surnames are not sacred. It's common for people to have a different surname from their mother; there's no need to freak out or take remedial action if they have a different surname from their father. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 08:16, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They should be in nobility, there is nothing more sacred than the name of the house!--Carolus (talk) 11:03, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's not our concern though, however sacred it might be (or have been) to the subjects! --Andreas Philopater (talk) 21:16, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well concider yourself proude, people like you are responsable for no consistency at all on Wiki.--Carolus (talk) 08:10, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
