Talk:Freedom (disambiguation)

message: It seems to me that a careful attempt at the definition of the word belongs at the top, before the philosophy/politics split. I would add that, even though I'm somewhat new to wikipedia, the slapping the removal of anyone's definition with the comment "overbearing paternalism" is not that respectful. Perhaps the person that did so was referring not to the attempt at defining the word, but the comment that followed about cultural concepts. Still. Having said that, I propose that we consider providing a neutral attempt at defining the word. Definitions are tricky. But the starting point probably should be: let's do our best to begin to explain the word as if we were defining it for someone who has never heard it. That definition is my best attempt so far. i.e. "Freedom is the absence of restraints upon our ability to think and act. (Except those restraints that are of natural cause.)" Whether or not that's a working definition, I do believe a definition in the article is called for.

replies: text: This page is designed to help people looking for an article on something named Freedom find that article. It is not meant to inform them itself but get where they are going. Because of that, definitions and helpful information belong on the various pages. In depth discussions (probably even if you really want to get into it regarding the brief description that appears on this page) also belong on a particular article's talk page. I have deleted many entries here because of this. 018 (talk) 20:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Freedom (Sugababes song) 

message: A topic as important as freedom should have its own page, as well as a disambiguation page.  To do that would be a huge amount of work -- more than 500 pages link here, and anyone attempting to create an article on the subject would have to disambiguate each link.  Does anyone else think this is important enough to be worth the effort? Rick Norwood (talk) 14:54, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not. I suggest redirecting to liberty, which seems to summarize the whole concept of freedom. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 14:20, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
