Given the list of previous equerries to the Queen, how can it be true to state that the equerry is of major rank or senior? There are many captains on the list! 217.155.34.61 19:18, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Who are the three present equerries? There seems to be four in the list. Maltesedog 19:44, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Equerry sections

It is neither necessary nor desirable to have a "Senior Equerries to the Queen, and previously to the King" section, particularly as one can not know which is which without checking each listed individual's article. A few had served a King; most had not. It is sufficient to list "Equerries to the Sovereign."

In the "Temporary Equerries to The Queen" section, not one of the individuals listed has a Wikipedia article, and one of the names was linked to an American Congressman from Wyoming. I've scrapped it on the grounds that the encyclopedia is not improved by its retention. — Athaenara ✉ 06:31, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

References, please

Referencing for this article is grossly deficient. Note that Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Military_biography/Unreferenced_BLPs specifically identifies equerry articles that are outright violations of WP:BLP. User:LeadSongDog come howl 15:51, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

confused by language

I'm confused by some of the language used. In one sentence it says "The extra Equerries are rarely if ever required for duty." The very next thing it says is "... But are in attendance on the Sovereign on a daily basis." First of all it should read as "attendance TO", not "attendance ON" and second if they are "rarely if ever requuired for duty", how and why are they "in attendance to the Sovereign on a daily basis." If they aren't usually required for duty, they should not need to "attend" to the Sovereign" 74.69.127.200 (talk) 12:53, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

The Queen of Australia?

Australia has no monarch of its own, though, as referenced, the Governor General represents the monarch who is, of course, the Queen of England. The Queen of England is official Head of State for many of the Commonwealth countries including Australia and Canada. So it can't be correct to say: the Queen of Australia or Canada. MacSigh (talk) 02:37, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Relating to Australia, the Queen is indeed titled the Queen of Australia and as such the chameleon crown is also the Queen of Canada in the true north. There is in fact no title specifically for England, where there it is the Queen of the United Kingdom. Plenty of vibrant talk pages relating to this topic!--Oliver Nouther (talk) 10:16, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

"now"; making one paragraph from four

I am in mind of two changes, for which I request comment or advice.

First. In the sentence beginning, "There are now three equerries to ..." there should be clarity as to when "now" is. (The note at the bottom of the page saying when it was last edited is not enough; and casual readers cannot reasonably be expected to pore through the Page History.) I read this in a Wikipedia policy article, which I would direct my correspondents to if I could find it now, but a few minutes's efforts brought me up dry.

So I propose to insert the "when?" tag, now.

Second. Under "United Kingdom," I think the following four paragraphs (beginning words only here) should be combined into one, for clarity:

"There are now three equerries to ..." ;

"The Queen's permanent equerry is an ...";

"The Queen's temporary equerry is a ..."; and

"The Crown Equerry is in ...".

Perhaps even also the next paragraph, which begins: "The Royal Household also ...".

Thoughts please. I intend to make the change in a few hours or days, unless dissuaded. GcT (talk) 18:10, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

Wrong entry attribution across languages

EN "Equerry" is wrongly paired with PL "Masztalerz". It should be "Koniuszy". Horse-Coachee (talk) 16:10, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
