Orphaned references in Empire of Charles V
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Empire of Charles V's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "auto2": From Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor:  From Holy Roman Empire: Bryce, pp. 44, 50–52 From Paris:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:41, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Merge this page with Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor
This article was created only in 2017 as a redirect from a section in the article The empire on which the sun never sets. In my view this article simply recapitulates and duplicates the article Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. I propose that the two be merged. Amuseclio (talk) 15:11, 16 December 2022 (UTC)Amuseclio


 * How so? This article is a specific and detailed account on the empire of Charles V, the other is general and wider description of the "person" of Charles V. To be fair this empire was a personal union, so inevitably there is some overlap (the part on the formarion of the empire via the "inheritances" is in both articles, but here is way more detailed). But still, it's just like we have Napoleonic era or Napoleonic empire and Napoleon, Carolingian empire and Charlemagne, Victorian Britain and Victoria, Elizabethan England and Elizabeth, etc. The one part I think we can swiftly remove or dramatically shorten is the one on what happened to his body after his death, that is a pure duplicate and has nothing to do with the scope of the article. Now I have done the adjustment, the rest can and should stay. (talk) 14:24, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

This is not merely a duplicate of the main Charles V article. It is, for the most part, a better version of the Charles V article in that it is structured roughly chronologically, rather than...topically, I guess? I think we should merge them and expand this structure with any useful material in the main article that is not included here. john k (talk) 05:29, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
