I don't understand the motive for changing "Queen Elizabeth II" - which is the name of the liner - to "Queen Elizabeth 2" - which isn't. Deb
- I think the ship is in fact called "Queen Elizabeth 2". That's what the Cunard website (www.cunardline.com) seems to say as well. Calling it "Queen Elizabeth II" is quite common, but I think it's incorrect. Enchanter
Thanks for putting me right - though I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't checked the web site. I remember the ship being launched and I'm certain it was launched as Queen Elizabeth "the Second", but I suppose that wouldn't necessarily mean Roman numerals!Deb
Should we redirect this page to the queen
I think ladies are more important than ships, but I will go along with whatever JHK. Deb and others decide. Ed Poor, Thursday, April 18, 2002
- The Globe and Mail Style Guide gives Queen Elizabeth 2 (arabic numeral) for the ship and Elizabeth II (roman numeral) for the monarch. (Actually, they just call her the Queen.) - Montréalais
I made this into a disambiguation page because I found it with a bit on both & links. The point is that this page name is non-canonical in either case: the woman needs the name of the country she is monarch of; the ship needs the prefix. If we make this intoa redirect, the page on Elizabeth could do with a mention of the ship (because many assume it is named after her, incorrectly), so all's happy there. All the links I fixed that came here were about the person, I think. -- Tarquin 18:03 Oct 6, 2002 (UTC)
