Name Origin

The referenced book by Davies ^[1] points out that the tribes in the Age of the Völkerwanderung were highly mobile so that the associations of tribes with territory were changing over time. However, he states that, the traditional identification of Bornolm with the prehistoric wanderings of the Burgundians is entirely credible: by no means proven, but more than a mere possibility.

redirect to Duchy of Burgundy

Hello all- I don't think making this page a redirect to Duchy of Burgundy was a good idea. It seems to have been a unilateral move by a new user called Appah Rao. I would guess that if there were consensus that there be no article titled simply "Burgundy", then that page should be a disambiguation page, not a redirect. Eric ^talk 23:36, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

agree with this, I put it to redirect back to Burgundy (region) but the article about the region should be just called Burgundy LICA98 (talk) 21:28, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds right to me. Thanks. Do you think maybe we should turn "Burgundy" into a disambiguation page? That's what is on on fr.wp: fr:Bourgogne. Eric ^talk 21:52, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

no I think just "Burgundy" should be the name of the article about the (former) region (like Limousin or Lorraine for example) LICA98 (talk) 23:23, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism?

I've just viewed this page and flag looks... uh... incorrect. I'm going to fix it. You can view screenshot there (NSFW warning!): https://imgur.com/a/LGAStdV Minuta18 (talk) 14:36, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody just fixed it. Thanks! Minuta18 (talk) 14:37, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I just realized that I viewed old version of page Minuta18 (talk) 14:40, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
