Talk:Helvetic Republic

message: The question is whether this page should be combined with the general page dealing with the country during Napoleon. I suggestion not. First, it may make difficult for someone to find Helvetic Republic if it is folded within a larger discussion. Second, anyone seeking that larger discussion can certainly go there.

message: :Image:Wappen Gams.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: I removed the following sentence
After the Battle of Mainz in 1795 between the First French Republic and Habsburg Austria, at which Hessian (soldiers) participated under Colonel Johann KeglevichBiographisches lexikon des kaiserthums Oesterreich: Enthaltend die lebensskizzen der denkwürdigen personen, welche seit 1750 in den österreichischen kronländern geboren wurden oder darin gelebt und gewirkt haben, Band 11, Constant von Wurzbach, K. K. Hof- und staatsdruckerie, Wien 1864. the brother of Major General Stephen Bernhard Keglevich, who did not take part in this battle with his Serbian mercenaries, which had been near there, and which was funded by the British Empire through the sale of gemstones of Madame du Barry, the British rushed the Hessian mercenaries to Ireland in 1798, because the Helvetic Republic was founded, to assist in the suppression of rebellion inspired by the Society of United Irishmen, an organization that first worked for Parliamentary reform.
from the article.  It is unclear to me how any part of it is relevant to the Helvetic Republic. 99.14.217.240 (talk) 23:49, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

message: So, when it was decided that this page should be deleted?
:Per WP:MERGE if nobody has objected and the proposal is 30 days old or older you are entitled to perform a merger of the pages. As you object, of course, now the merger will require a rough consensus. MB298 (talk) 22:09, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely not. This article should remain; it is only logical, considering the nature of the institution. It is a separate governmental entity existing within the framework of Swiss history and as such deserves its own page.
