Looks pretty empty and I don't feel like doing it since never go to portals. If not filled in, should it be deleted?? Carol Moore 00:29, 7 September 2008 (UTC) Carolmooredc {talk}
Here are subpages that need to be completed:

We have it set up to randomly display one of 10 pages, with associated picture, biography, and article. I've tried to group these logically (e.g. Bill Redpath / Cato; Steve Kubby / Cannabis; Susan Hogarth / Mary Ruwart; etc.) The main disadvantage seems to be that when you click "edit," it doesn't edit the actual page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simultaneous movement ( talk • contribs) 15:52, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
It was started by a sockpuppet and hasn't had much action otherwise. I'm just not in mood for figuring out how to do it again. CarolMooreDC ( talk) 18:30, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
Do we want, need Libertarian Wikipedians? Note in past people have claimed that that is only a PARTY affiliation which all will agree is bunk. CarolMooreDC ( talk) 16:44, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
A nomination closely related to this portal is currently under discussion at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2010_March_11#Libertarian_organisations. Debresser ( talk) 22:31, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Need help with the edit links. All of the edit links send you to / rather than the page you want to edit. Is this a template thing? Abel ( talk) 13:37, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
This whole "Libertarian" portal only deals with libertarian capitalism, while in fact libertarianism is a mostly socialist thing. It's only in the modern USA is the word libertarianism associated with stupid capitalist ideology. It seems incorrect to make a portal about capitalist 'libertarianism' and call it libertarianism when in fact libertarianism is a socialist ideal —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.231.69 ( talk) 10:37, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
The free-market capitalist libertarian bias of this portal is beyond shamefully blatant. To the extent of it representing itself with the anarcho-capitalist flag. Sir Richardson ( talk) 14:51, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
The Libertarianism Portal section has a rather broad definition of libertarianism that seems to cover all the 50 or so versions of libertarianism. It is likely that my lack of familiarity, or the fact that the many versions of libertarianism do not yet have standard definitions, that this broad definition of libertarianism is not broad enough. Abel ( talk) 20:24, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
It is also possible that the people claiming bias are thinking about, without actually saying, that the selected articles and selected biographies are too heavily weighted toward the anarchist factions. If that is the case, I completely agree. I suspect that this is likely due to the fact that the anarchist articles that relate to libertarianism are far more numerous and of much higher quality rather than from bias. If someone could point me to some high quality articles, I would be happy to add to the selected articles and selected biographies to better balance out the portal. Abel ( talk) 20:24, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

There was some discussion at Libertarianism about changing the "coin" image in the icon and the banner image at this portal. It was hatted out as not relevant to that page. Perhaps we should have the discussion here. North8000 ( talk) 16:19, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Prior discussion from Talk:Libertarianism starts here:
This is really not okay.
My suggestion is a crop of Liberty Leading the People.
I'm very aware that it's a republican symbol, but given that it epitomizes social revolution in rebellion against domination and monarchism, I hardly think many anarchists would find it inappropriate. Finx ( talk)
I like your idea and picture, but I can't see where the coin is being used, unless you mean that little icon.....even the coin just looks like a little gold disk at that size and I think the picture that you suggest would look like an ink spot. North8000 ( talk) 01:40, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
There's also the Tarantino-esque hands-breaking-chains motif... minus the cowboy on horse, presumably. Finx ( talk) 03:29, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
What about a red Phrygian cap without rosette with "Liberty" written along its lower edge? Please excuse this example at external commercial link. The cap is an Enlightenment call to Liberty in general and it is in use by the Left and the Right. It is as popular in America as in Europe. It is associated with revolution and reform; anarchism and limited or constrained states. It has no immediate economic association, and so represents neither capitalists nor anti-capitalists. Fifelfoo ( talk) 00:26, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Something is amiss with the display of footnotes on this page; they're over on the right-hand column, slightly overlapping the left-hand column, and the first one isn't numbered. Maybe it's partly hidden under one of the other boxes? Bookgrrl holler/ lookee here 19:55, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
Edited to add: woah, why are footnotes now displaying here in my comment???? Bookgrrl holler/ lookee here 19:56, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:35, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
Theres an RfC about whether to have 3rd parties candidates in the infobxo editors here. If you have a opinion, please go to [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.207.220.249 ( talk) 22:55, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi there. Is there a talk page, chat or something for Libertarians here on WP? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Piinkkii ( talk • contribs) 20:01, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
