 ::Ealdgyth, read carefully what is written in the source, before to make such stupid comments. ""Carolingian Europe"" pan-Germanistic hyperbole and probably may be influenced by the nationalistic doctrines of some countries as England, France, Germany. Furthermore, the term ""Carolingian Europe"" seems idiotic. By this logic, the 9th century should be called ""Simeon's Europe"", 16th century - ""Süleymaniye's Europe"", early 19th century - Napoleonic Europe, etc. This, what you say is not the opinion of the historians, this is only the opinion of English historians and some American experts (If you believe that England and USA are ""the world"" it is your problem, which no need by comments) because I can not see the ""World history"" of Bakalov, that I quoted and which has been cited by other editors in the old discussions, to have been used in the article. I do not see quotes from books of Eckert and Duychev in article too. I do not see quotes of sources from previous discussions, which give different POV. I think that your problem is that you have no respect for others' views and is logical some users like Ludogoro to believe that the reasons are political.   "
