Talk:House of Orleans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article Orleanist should (ideally) serve a very different purpose from the July Monarchy or House of Orleans articles. An Orleanist is anyone, even at the end of the century, who was in favor of the political regime and economic liberalism of the Orleans house, and the word is used in the same way one said "legitimist" or a "Bonapartist". As long as the Orleanist article refects this, I vote no merge. On the other hand, the July Monarchy and the House of Orleans articles cover the same ground and should be merged, with any material unrelated to Louis-Philippe's July Monarchy being placed on the House of Orléans page. Finally, I am also confused about the lack of accent on this article: Orléans is always written with an accent. -- NYArtsnWords 21:17, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

I agree completely. Most of the content both here and at July Monarchy was a copy and paste from the 1911 Britannica, with the version at July Monarchy having been updated and formatted. There was thus nothing to merge. I have turned this into a stub on the House of Orleans, leaving the description of their time in power to July Monarchy. - SimonP 04:35, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
