Why is this article so english centric?
This was a Dutch Stadholder, he also happened to become the King of England, yet topuc like “legacy” only speak about his ability in England or show British made statues. Dutch and English history should be equal here, not marginalized because Englishmen are only interested in their own country DirkjanenBert (talk) 23:43, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also King of Scotland and King of Ireland. Dimadick (talk) 12:46, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- You are correct. I'll will probably add more to the article later to solve this issue DavidDijkgraaf (talk) 14:54, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
Title
I am a little confused as to why William is referred to in this article as “William III and II”. His father was William II, Prince of Orange, so how can his son also bear the same number? 2A00:23CC:D214:101:3D70:777C:325C:6C73 (talk) 11:12, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
- He's William III of England and Orange. William II of Scotland. Celia Homeford (talk) 13:53, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for that! Why is there no mention of this anywhere in the article..? 2A00:23CC:D214:101:3D70:777C:325C:6C73 (talk) 01:24, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
- Now added as a footnote (by another editor).[1] Celia Homeford (talk) 09:53, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Calendar dates
Why does this article use the Julian calendar, when essentially the entire world has switched to the Gregorian calendar? On other articles (for example, that on Catherine the Great), one sees O.S. and N.S., respectively, for the corresponding dates of older historical figures' births and deaths, with all other dates translated to the Gregorian system; or simply Gregorian dates all around, with Julian equivalents included as explanatory footnotes.
I think we should do that here, too. OzzyMuffin238 (talk) 15:03, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
