Orange

Thank you for your correction to my error. The text originally said France and I 'corrected' it, mistakenly believing it to be vandalism. My feeble excuse is that it should have been linked to Principality of Orange. Well spotted. --Red King (talk) 23:12, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Aargh, my feeble excuse is even more feeble than I thought because the link is there. Exit stage left, pursued by bear. --Red King (talk) 23:14, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of rivers of Europe, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Don. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

The Great Deflation

I think we should merge the article into Long Depression. I don't want to get into an edit war about such a minor topic, but I feel that would be a good ATD. Bearian (talk) 21:34, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Hi, Brian,

I added a comment to the article talk page articulating my reasons for requesting a simple deletion without a redirect or the formality of a merge process. As far as I can tell, the cited sources and related claims in the article already appear in one or both "Long Depression" and "Deflation". A search will find the "Deflation" article readily enough and that article covers periods of deflation comparatively.

Whether a redirect makes sense is a question of whether Wikipedia endorses "The Great Deflation" as a reference to the period, 1870-90. I don't think Wikipedia should be endorsing a peculiar usage, without strong source citations. Otherwise, Wikipedia is just contributing to AI slop. BruceW07 (talk) 22:11, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

That's appropriate, BruceW07. Bearian (talk) 22:13, 14 February 2026 (UTC)
