Edit-warring[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Classical liberalism. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. TFD (talk) 02:07, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict in Etymology section on Libertarianism[edit]

(If this is a mistake, please edit the article to put it back. Otherwise, please ignore this message; I'll have to repost it to Talk:Libertarianism. Thanks.)

My edit[1],[2]:

In the 1950s in the United States many with classical liberal beliefs began to describe themselves as "libertarian."[1] Academics as well as proponents of the free market perspectives note that free market libertarianism has been successfully propagated beyond the US since the 1970s via think tanks and political parties [2][3] and that libertarianism is increasingly viewed worldwide as a free market position.[4][5] However Libertarian socialists Noam Chomsky, Colin Ward and others state that the term is still considered a synonym of anarchism in countries other than the US. [6][7][8]

You reverted it to[3]:

Libertarian socialists such as Noam Chomsky or Colin Ward state that the term libertarianism is considered throughout the world a synonym for anarchism.[9][7][10] Academics as well as proponents of the latter note that free market libertarianism has been successfully propagated beyond the US since the 1970s via think tanks and political parties [2][3] to the extent that libertarianism is increasingly employed elsewhere to identify a free market pro-property stance.[11][4][5]

No, I just moved the anarchism citations to the proper sentence. They were on the wrong sentence. They were attached at the end of the classical liberalism sentence. Wrong place. Seven days seven nights (talk) 08:11, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, sorry. (I found that only you have edited the Etymology section{explicitly}, and thus misread the diff.) N6n (talk) 11:05, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed it. (71.12.74.67 had deleted a critical line. Mrdthree reverted the section from an older version.) N6n (talk) 11:51, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the WP policies and it seems I should not have brought it to your talk page in any case. Sorry for the trouble. N6n (talk) 14:53, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

3RR[edit]

Even if you are correct that the old text is POV, you are clearly beyond the 3RR line and appear to be actively edit-warring. If you revert your own last edit, you may be able to avoid a block. BigK HeX (talk) 04:29, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In the US, which is a society much more dominated by business, the term has a different meaning. It means eliminating or reducing state controls, mainly controls over private tyrannies. Libertarians in the US don't say let's get rid of corporations. It is a sort of ultra-rightism. "
