Merge completion request edit

As a consensus has been reached that the article Orange Book liberalism be merged with this article I would request an admin to kindly complete this merge so as to delist the article from the merge list. Thanks and regards Wikishagnik (talk) 15:53, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Done Please note that in most cases, a user doesn't have to be an admin to carry out a merge—in fact, I'm not. See Wikipedia:Merging and Help:Merging for more information, and WikiProject Merge if you'd like to help with the rather considerable merge backlog. --BDD (talk) 22:54, 3 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

The Orange Book: Reclaiming LiberalismThe Orange Book – Per WP:SUBTITLE207.161.86.162 (talk) 00:40, 11 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • This one doesn't seem obvious - the subtitle seems relevant here, this isn't such a toweringly significant book that it "owns" the title of Orange Book. See Orange Book disambiguation page, subtitle is useful disambiguation here, the word "The" is sketchy disambiguation. SnowFire (talk) 04:37, 11 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
    the word "The" is sketchy disambiguation. How do you reconcile that view with WP:SMALLDETAILS, SnowFire? 207.161.86.162 (talk) 02:10, 12 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

The ideology section of this page is essentially unusable edit

It provides exactly zero information with respect to the ideological underpinnings or policy positions of so-called “Orange Book Liberals.” I literally have to go find the book to have any sense at all of what’s in it. 141.156.196.94 (talk) 05:42, 9 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Lloyd George's Orange Book edit

We'd need a citation (not least as it's perfectly possible that the title was simply a coincidence to begin with - one must be careful not to jump to conclusions), but is the title a deliberate echo of Lloyd George's Orange Book of the late 1920s, "We Can Conquer Unemployment"? There was also a Green Book on agriculture (natch), a Yellow Book on Industry, one on Coal etc etc.Paulturtle (talk) 17:02, 26 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
