I have no idea after reading this article and discussion page what the difference was between warlordism and feudalism. After reading the feudalism article, I tried to clarify the distinction. Saying "Historical Science clearly distinguishes" does not really help, since I've never met Historical Science and can't find his writings. Seriously, I would love to see some sources or references on the difference between warlordism and feudalism, perhaps a discussion of how feudalism in the high middle ages in Europe arose from the warlordism of the dark ages at the end of the roman empire.

What about economical and political warlordism?

This is known to exist in countries like Romania and Bulgaria, where a single entity is known to be distributing jobs and contracts in a given area.

Also, I believe that the USA had a case where a mayor was terorizing a small city and had bodyguards with machine guns and such.

Move

I think this article should be moved to warlordism, because it would be easier to define the scope based on a (de facto) system of government. I'd like some feedback first. Elle _{vécut heureuse} ^{à jamais} (Be eudaimonic!) 03:08, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I second the move (i think there's a confusion of scope at the moment), but I would like to have at warlord an article about some warlords also. Again: one article about some famous warlords, another one about the (well said Natalinasmpf) (de facto) system of government. --Ben ^T/_C 12:39, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

neutrality of China section

We still need citations here, for dating of warlord era and of continuing warlordism. If you see other POV issues, please leave a note here pointing them out specifically.

I'm not sure the game paragraph is useful here - These might be sufficient as See also.Lisamh 01:24, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Afghan Warlordism

This article could significantly benefit from a section on Afghan warlords written by a knowledgable person. Such a section would necessarily include information contained within Opium production in Afghanistan. ~ Rollo44 19:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Modern warlord

I guess Chechnya since about 2002 is not worth being referenced as warlord controlled KonstKaras (talk) 11:48, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Warlady

For a Female Warlord, would Warlady be an appropriate title? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imperator-Zor (talk • contribs) 03:20, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Warlords of Cambodia

It's possible if we put warlords of Cambodia, it has five warlord. Can we put it ?? It has following titles:

1. Duke Deijoboraraj of Kompongsvay. (Duke in Khmer is Neak Oknha)
2. Duke Sourkealok of Pursat.
3. Duke Pisnulok of Treang.
4. Duke Orchun of Tbongkhmom.
5. Duke Thammadeijo of Baphnom.

It was derived from ancient history of Cambodia. (Warlord in Khmer is ស្ដេចត្រាញ់ or ស្ដេចសឹក). (Nisetpdajsankha (talk) 12:36, 25 June 2011 (UTC))
