I've removed the "Libertarianism" template—although it is eminently appropriate, it takes up a lot of room. If you're visiting this page, it seems your first priority is to find out what articles are in it, not to find out more about libertarianism per se. I'd love to see it back if it can somehow be forced to the side like it is on article pages, though. --zenohockey 21:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Not everyone listed in the subcategories is a libertarian"

In that case, the subcategories in question shouldn't be listed here. GregorB 17:16, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Good point; I've removed said disclaimer. This undoubtedly refers to Ayn Rand and her followers (see Libertarianism and Objectivism for more on that controversy), but they're libertarians by any commonly accepted definition of libertarianism, including Wikipedia's (see first sentence of libertarianism). --zenohockey 21:35, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tim McVeigh?!?!?

The person who added him to this list couldn't possibly have a reason other than to smear libertarianism. A throwaway comment is being spun into way more than the context suggests, making it seem like all of those other people on the list -- and by extension anyone who is a libertarian -- are "just like McVeigh". Either a note should be added clarifying that he is on the list only because he claimed to be one and NOT because of any philosophical similarities, or his name should be removed from it. --67.140.116.214 06:05, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alyssa Milano

Why is she listed when her wiki explicitly states she's a liberal?
