Extremely biased?

This article makes little sense in language and feels like a article defending her actions et Al (after the king criticized her) "but she defended musicians and artists" and Christina's financial extravagance and Her unconventional lifestyle and occasional masculine style of dressing have been featured in countless novels, plays, operas, and film. In most biographies of Christina, her gender and cultural identity play an important role. And Gustavus shared Maria's interest in architecture and her love of music and "grief suggests mental instability." Is a suggestion also what is the "most learned" even mean •Cyberwolf•talk? 23:15, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"feels like a article"? "defended" = protected. Are you on the right place? Taksen (talk) 06:38, 30 March 2024 (UTC) Thanks. Meanwhile I made a few changes but have no idea what this means: et Al (after the king criticized her).Taksen (talk) 08:17, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think et al [sic] is what was meant, where it should have been etc. User calls her parents Gustavus and Maria which were not their names. Nonetheless, Christina was one of Sweden's worst monarchs (sad for Garbo), and we should be careful with pro-Christina bias. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 10:34, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gustavus Adolphus works Taksen (talk) 12:04, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that or Gustav Adolf or Gustav Adolph, not just "Gustavus" alone. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 20:27, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio discussion

I was looking to this page because I'd love to help get it to a GAN and ran it through a compulsory copyvio search on detector. It popped up multiple pages with directly copied or closely paraphrased content, the most blatant being https://www.papalartifacts.com/portfolio-item/39041/ and https://www.vam.ac.uk/blog/creating-new-europe-1600-1800-galleries/born-on-this-day-queen-christina-of-sweden. There may also be some smaller segments such as from https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/People/Pope_Alexander_VII/Montor_bio*.html (which seems to be directly quoted with quotation marks and no attribution).

I hope to work on this some myself, but wanted to make it known/tag the article. The bit from the papal artifacts website is most prominently featured in the article's lead. ~Malvoliox (talk | contribs) 17:24, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looked a little bit closer and it's possible a lot of what was tagged further down the line is direct quotes from primary sources. The first flag though (from the Papal Artifacts site) is significant. ~Malvoliox (talk | contribs) 17:31, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the copyvio might go the other way. The article at papalartifacts.com was apparently published on May 8, 2020. If you compare it to a version of this article written before that date, say from Feb 2020 (link to Earwig's) you still get a copyvio warning. Jähmefyysikko (talk) 19:45, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh interesting! Did not think to check the timing that way, forgot that people can copy wiki content too ~Malvoliox (talk | contribs) 20:52, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the tag. ~Malvoliox (talk | contribs) 20:52, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback today

I rolled back 2 unsourced additions. SergeWoodzing (talk) 22:23, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

adding the new opera promo photo?

Canadian Opera Company promo photo for "La reine-garçon" highlighting Christina's queer identity

Hello all, the Canadian Opera Company often gives permission to Wikipedia to use its promotional photos and I think this would really help the article because it shows Christina's queer identity clearly, and in a modern photo that is more relatable to readera now than the existing historical images in tbe article so far. Sorry I don't have any more time to work on this but the next person can go here - https://www.coc.ca/about/press-room - to get the permission if you all decide to go ahead.

Androgynous people

The article describes her as androgynous but any attempt to add her to the category "Androgynous people" is reverted. Why? MagicatthemovieS (talk) 13:57, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
