Possible Conflation

[edit]

It appears that the presence of the contradictory flag is due to an erroneous conflation of Easy Chair (the top secret research program), and Operation Easy Chair (the operation that placed a device created through Easy Chair in the Russian Embassy in the Hague). I think that there is enough information on both subjects to merit the creation of a dedicated Easy Chair article. I haven't done an edit of this scale before, so I wanted to reach out and see if anyone agrees before I go ahead and make significant changes to this article and create another.

For reference, here is a source for Operation Easy Chair, and here is a source for Easy Chair (the Research Program). Xanjaxn (talk) 15:20, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article is quite short – only two paragraphs. I think splitting it into two would not be an improvement. Maproom (talk) 20:57, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
