Can't repeat policy violations of Libertarianism article in this one
I.e., violating policies regarding WP:Verifiability, WP:NPOV, WP:No Original Research, and of course purging the various left libertarian/libertarian socialist groups. You guys play with it for a while and then I (or others) will come in at some point and clean up the worst of it. :-) CarolMooreDC (talk) 00:44, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Merge proposal (Libertarian movement in the U.S. into here)
I second. I didn't even realize there were two, though I have them both bookmarked. Go for it! CarolMooreDC (talk) 19:31, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
- I'm willing to do it. Hearing no dissent, will do so soon. CarolMooreDC (talk) 00:35, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hearing no objections, Gonna do it!! Note this is per similarly named articles about UK and SA. CarolMooreDC (talk) 15:59, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- Unclear what the target was, but I've placed a tag. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 16:03, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
- The merge was Libertarian movement in the U.S. into t his article, and I did it. (Copied to archive and will delete this after you have chance to read.) CarolMooreDC (talk) 04:38, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
- Unclear what the target was, but I've placed a tag. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 16:03, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Ref'd info only please
Since the current Libertarianism article (or the talk page or archives) contains lots of info to ref statements, there's no reason to include non ref'd ones. On the other hand, if someone puts up a tag that it should be ref'd and no one does so, it can be removed. CarolMooreDC (talk) 04:21, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
- Concur. Incidentally there is great room for expansion of this article with high quality referenced material. Fifelfoo (talk) 04:23, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
Removal of well-cited info
Not editing for ~two months is probably not going to change the fact that the discussion of left-libertarianism in articles on "libertarianism" has been deemed valid in MULTIPLE talk page RfCs (including:here, here, here, and here, the results of which can be seen in this diff). I'd submit that a protection on the Libertarianism page should not be taken as an indicator to restart that battleground topic over here.
Including information about anarchism and minarchism is NOT mutually exclusive of the existing information. If any editors desire to DELETE well-cited info, then present a decent WP rationale, please. Thanks. BigK HeX (talk) 04:13, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
- I guess Wikipedia:Disruptive_editing#Refusal_to_get_the_point still rules. :-( Not looking forward to February! CarolMooreDC (talk) 06:19, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed. Although, I have no doubt that the end results would be the same. BigK HeX (talk) 13:32, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

POV concern
Does this statement "Although the word libertarian continues to be widely used to refer to anti-state socialists internationally, its meaning in the United States has deviated from its political origins to the extent that the common meaning of libertarian in the United States is different from elsewhere" really belong immediately after the lead sentence of the article? It reads, almost glaringly, like a poorly veiled POV attempt to scream to the reader, "This is not real libertarianism! No, no, no!" It seems the format would be cleaner and better suited if that statement was inserted as the final paragraph of the header, rather than as its lead.
