Talk:Liberal (disambiguation)

message: I would like to invite you to visit the redrafted Liberalism page. It explains the various traditions named liberalism. Most European liberals would agree that the liberalism of the LP of Australia is different from European liberalism and would be named conservatism in Europe. The party might have some classical liberal influences. Gangulf 07:40, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Visit [[Liberalism]] 

message: This needs a separate page for left-liberalism (what is known as "liberal" in the USA).  This is messing up a lot of wikipedia and causing much confusion.
: What we did in the last weeks is redrafting the liberalism and related pages. The different usages are explained in the article liberalism. We should refer in this page to the discussion at the Liberalism page. We don't need at that moment a separate page. Gangulf 06:16, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Need separate page for left-liberalism 

message: I would prefer to merge this article into Liberalism, since that article includes all the discussion. --Gangulf 12:55, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge this article into Liberalism 

message: To prevent the samendiscussions to take place in more places, it seemed wise to me to change this page into a disambig page with links to pages with a more comprehensive discussion. --Gangulf 19:49, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Changed the page into a disambig page

message: This is just to inform people that I want Wikipedia to accept a general policy that BC and AD represent a Christian Point of View and should be used only when they are appropriate, that is, in the context of expressing or providing an account of a Christian point of view.  In other contexts, I argue that they violate our NPOV policy and we should use BCE and CE instead. See Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/BCE-CE Debate for the detailed proposal.

thread_title:  anouncing policy proposal 

message: :The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 
The result of the proposal was No move; the situation is messy, but the current situation of Liberal redirecting to Liberalism, an article containing the widest definition of the concept, seems the most appropriate. Duja► 12:15, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

*Support. Having looked through the "Whatlinkshere", dealing with this in the same way as Conservative is a good idea.--Commander Keane 21:42, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

: The page Liberal redirects here right now. Is this a new occurence? It makes more sense to me to just move this page to Liberal just to simplify things. Otherwise, I think Liberal should redirect to Liberalism like I think it used to. Captain Phoebus 20:13, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Discussion

message: The most common meaning of liberal, the one that republicans use, isn't even on wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.212.45.51 (talk) 22:09, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This page is blatent bias 

message: I have changed the liberal to redirect to this page, strangely they share a discussion page. If anyone objects let me know, but i feel that this was the right thing to do because:
1. Its only natural that a word with multiple topics attached should have a disambiguation page.
2. The page that was in place was, as the page itself stated was more suited to wiktionary.
3. The information on the page can be found on pages off of the disambiguation page.
4. The article was slightly non-NPOV
And i suppose there is a minor point about the pages poor layout, but thats not a reason for getting rid of it.
