 == Request to Carol et al. to disambiguate Cosmopolitan (read: European) Libertarianism from American Libertarianism? == 

 So this is a reasonable request. When it comes to mediation, its all about non-positional bargaining and creative solution-making. My request for myself and the rest of Right (read: property-owning) members of wikipedia is that we explicitly and plainly differentiate ""cosmopolitan libertarianism"" from ""American libertarianism"" on the main page, in plain sight. My realization has come after reading Chomsky's chapter on 'Libertarianism vs. Anarchism' in his book 'Understanding Power  The Indispensable Chomsky'. Could we, as ""American Libertarians"", please have our own page which is plainly differentiated and presented on/near the header on the main Wikipedia page? I have with great angst been worrying about this issue (read: unsexed capitalist), and just want to make sure the interests of the dominant parties with opinions on Libertarians are explicated in the open. All I, all ""we"" (read: American pro-freedom pro-commerce advocates) want is a fair share of the view. Socialism is just fine and dandy, but we (American Libertarians) want a bit of distance from extremist (per American Libertarian political propaganda) groups purporting to believe what we believe. The truth is is that there are deep, deep schisms within the Libertarian intellectual community, a fact which is easy to see after some experience on this page. All I request is that we, American Libertarians, receive the right of having our own page which is in plain sight near the header of the introduction to the main (read: Cosmopolitan/European) page of Libertarianism. I would nod DarkStar as the editor-in-chief for this page, but that's just me.   

  
 *Dear IP.  The current section ""Overview"" disambiguates concepts, though not particularly well.  It is not clear from the current text that Minarchism is the scholarly term often used to refer to the politics associated with and surrounding USLP style positions.  Scholarly terms I have seen referring to this tendency have been ""Right-libertarianism"" as term describing a general position in favour of markets, and within this classification ""Minarchism"" to draw the distinction between small-state and anti-state positions.  In terms of article weight and tone, the article speaks as if minarchist and anarcho-capitalist positions are default positions being addressed, and clearly distinguishes positions and groups which are libertarian socialist when they are brought up in the body of the text.  Volume of coverage here is also predisposed towards covering ""Right-libertarian"" positions, and within this ""Minarchist"" positions.  Separate pages already exist for the various tendencies described in the article. 
 *I'm not disturbed by this, as the volume of text needed to cover other positions using the term Libertarian can be small and yet still achieve appropriate coverage through wikilinking.  However, the writing at the moment isn't very good (despite a number of non-partisan editors trying to better word the lede, good job those editors).  The writing is unlikely to improve until the core group of editors solve a number of ongoing discussions which would ground the writing.   
 *You may also wish to reconsider using terms like ""extremist groups"" on a talk page, which may be seen as offensive, and which some governments use as a justification for political persecution.  The word ""radical"" may cover your meaning? 
 *I've not seen your term ""Cosmopolitan libertarianism"" in any scholarly works, do you have a reference we could follow up?   
 *I strongly agree with your concern for adequate breadth of coverage, failing to cover minarchism or anarcho-capitalism here would be a major editorial failure; similarly, it is my belief as an editor that failing to cover Libertarian Socialism here would be a major editorial failure.  This issue is one of the number of issues currently requiring resolution amongst editors before we can improve the writing, including clearer differentiation of which libertarians hold and do what, and what commonalities have been identified in reliable sources.    

 :IP edit is by banned . Please don't reply in this thread.    

 : Besides Fifefoo, what editors are opposed to disambiguating and/or removing the A-C information from this article?  I see quite a few editors in favor.  A small minority should not be used to prevent moving forward on improving the content.  [[User talk:FellGleaming|
