Talk:Anarcho-capitalism

Nonfiction and further reading

The further reading is completely redundant of the earlier nonfiction section. Anything relevant, like links, from the former should be moved to the latter, and the further reading section deleted. Any thoughts? ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 17:53, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

That doesn't quite fit with the wiki style guide. The literature section serves a navigational purpose, it is a sort of summary for another article. On the other hand, the further reading section serves to supplement this main article (e.g. anarcho-capitalism, not the "list" sub-article entitled Anarcho-capitalist literature). Preserving article hierarchy helps with both readability and the article's usefulness as a quick reference. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 02:44, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Global perspective?

I'm not sure why that tag was added, as nothing has been put in the talk page about it. The article mentions, to my knowledge, all the important figures in anarcho-capitalism, including American and European thinkers, and historical instances such as Iceland. The concept is universal in application, so I'm not sure what could be added in that regard. Are there Asian or African angles to the concept that are missing, and if so, what are they? I'm honestly perplexed as to what could be added. This is a featured article, which means it has been rigorously examined and been found to be of the highest quality. This just seems like a random tagging. Thoughts? —Torchiest ^talk/_contribs 02:33, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Random tagging is what it looks like from here. - Knight of BAAWA (talk) 03:47, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Well, if no one objects, I'm going to remove it. LK (talk) 04:33, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

I see it's back and same problems remain so removing. CarolMooreDC (talk) 23:12, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Where to put Molinari and fans?

First I've added the sorely lacking synonyms to anarcho-capitalism and the fact that it is a libertarian philosophy.

Re: Gustave de Molinari, not sure where to put info about him since he both had similar early ideas and has modern fans influence by the other modern anarcho-capitalists. There's a quote in his article where Rothbard calls him first AC. Ideas? CarolMooreDC (talk) 19:04, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Cleanup

I cleaned up a few obvious problems today. But article in generally overly wordy and sometimes redundant and self-contradictory, sometimes poorly referenced, and with strange POVs here and there. But not something I'm likely to clean up. CarolMooreDC (talk) 23:36, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Request For Comments – Political Ideologies Diagram

File:Political Ideology Interconnectedness Venn Diagram.jpg

On the libertarianism talk page we're having quite a bit of disagreement regarding where libertarianism ends and other ideologies begin. Given that a picture is worth a thousand words, I drew this diagram to illustrate the one defining tenet that two ideologies share.

When I posted it on the talk page I specifically noted that it was original research based on numerous reliable sources and was not intended for use in the article. However, the file has been proposed for deletion because editors that oppose my viewpoint feel that original research based on reliable sources should not be allowed on talk pages or even user pages.

From my perspective...it sets bad precedent if you can't draw a diagram to try and help simplify a complex and confusing topic. If this diagram is deleted it will be the equivalent of somebody deleting your comments from the talk page just because they disagree with what you have to say. So far, nobody has offered any evidence that the straightforward definitions contained within this diagram are not factual.

Here's where I posted the file on my user page...here and here’s where the file is being proposed for deletion...here. I spent a bit of time working on this diagram and would really appreciate some outside feedback on whether the file should be kept or deleted. If it turns out that my diagram is in clear violation of Wikipedia policy then my other two diagrams will have to be deleted as well...Scope of Government Diagrams.
