24 July 2024

  • curprev 20:0020:00, 24 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 20,249 bytes +35‎ Final add before I log off: Add Teddy Roosevelt. Just noticed he was missing. His legacy is disputed and claimed by non-conservatives as well, but I think he deserves inclusion because 1. We already include "progressive conservatism" under the Schools list, and he is its progenitor and chief representative, 2. He is a major president, 3. His legacy is claimed by conservatives who we list like Josh Hawley & important conservative scholars like Rossiter
  • curprev 19:4819:48, 24 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ m 20,214 bytes +10‎ Oops, forgot to format as just a surname. Fixed.
  • curprev 19:4719:47, 24 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 20,204 bytes +24‎ Add Charles Lindbergh; besides his fame as a pilot, he was the chief organizer of the America First committee, and the leading figurehead of American conservatism throughout the thirties and up till Pearl Harbor. He's definitely more notable than some other figures here, like the LaHayes.
  • curprev 19:3019:30, 24 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 20,180 bytes +54‎ Slight change to how Adams is distinguished from his son; I think it's best if we use parentheticals to disambiguate, for consistency with how we disamiguate between the Bushes and the Tafts. Also, one add: Randolph, who Russell Kirk, among others, casts as one of the earliest American conservatives, alongside Adams
  • curprev 19:1919:19, 24 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 20,126 bytes +42‎ Two more additions to history to fill in some gaps: 1. Solid South, which between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of opposition to the New Deal was the bastion of conservative politics in the US; 2. Southern strategy, which transformed American politics and secured the South as a GOP stronghold, completing the GOP's transformation from a big-tent party to THE conservative party in the US.
  • curprev 19:1219:12, 24 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ m 20,084 bytes +10‎ Fix disambig.
  • curprev 19:1219:12, 24 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 20,074 bytes +11‎ Restructuring history section chronologically (makes more sense given that it is, of course, about history); remove Conservative Democrats from history section, they are better placed in the Parties section. I've also listed the Tea Party movement here, even though it is also listed under Movements, because of its significance as a key turning point in American conservative history
  • curprev 19:0219:02, 24 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 20,063 bytes +28‎ Add Republican Revolution to the history section. This is widely regarded as a key moment in the history of movement conservatism, as it established conservative dominance in the House of Representatives for the first time since the New Deal, and gave birth to a kind of conservative politics that dominates the US even into the present. Its as essential in telling the story of US conservatism as the Goldwater campaign.

  • curprev 18:2718:27, 20 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 20,014 bytes +68‎ Add the Goldwater movement to the History tab; Goldwater's presidential campaign, despite ending in a landslide defeat, is widely seen as the definitive moment at which modern conservatism came into its own in the US. Most of the figures who would go on to shape the movement in the coming decades cut their teeth on his campaign, taking over the GOP definitively, and building up the major institutions which still exist today.
  • curprev 18:2118:21, 20 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 19,946 bytes −18‎ Add AFC (some America Firsters were liberals and leftists, but it was a largely conservative movement and a galvanizing moment in the early history of US conservatism); remove Stalwarts, who did not share any unified ideology and were instead only united by their support of President Grant (indeed, many of them were Radical Republicans who we would now place as progressives)
  • curprev 18:1218:12, 20 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 19,964 bytes +60‎ Add non-interv. to principles; not the only foreign policy view on the American right, but it has been the historically dominant one and the presently dominant one (neocons excluded). In any case, the US Liberalism template includes "liberal internationalism" as a foreign policy principle on the same grounds of historical dominance, even though it is not the exclusive liberal position (Sanders, Warren, and many others are not internationalists).

  • curprev 20:4620:46, 9 July 2024‎ Trakking talk contribs‎ 19,738 bytes +24‎ Undid revision 1233577296 by Trakking (talk) - readding Lind; some of his works seem to fairly notable Tag: Undo
  • curprev 20:3620:36, 9 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 19,714 bytes −33‎ If Lind is too obscure, Derbyshire certainly doesn't merit notability Tag: Reverted
  • curprev 20:3120:31, 9 July 2024‎ Trakking talk contribs‎ 19,747 bytes −24‎ too obscure Tag: Reverted
  • curprev 20:3020:30, 9 July 2024‎ Trakking talk contribs‎ 19,771 bytes −36‎ removal of non-American
  • curprev 20:2920:29, 9 July 2024‎ Trakking talk contribs‎ 19,807 bytes −27‎ too obscure
  • curprev 20:2720:27, 9 July 2024‎ Trakking talk contribs‎ 19,834 bytes −27‎ libertarian not conservative, although he influenced the conservative movement
  • curprev 20:2720:27, 9 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 19,861 bytes −29‎ Rem. Dolan due to recentism; he is a conservative bishop, but to what extent he will have a legacy as a thinker is to be seen (I'm not hopeful), he is more notable as a commentator, and in any case there are other notable bishops who are more conservative, like Salvatore Cordileone
  • curprev 20:2420:24, 9 July 2024‎ Trakking talk contribs‎ 19,890 bytes −35‎ classical liberal not conservative
  • curprev 20:2220:22, 9 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 19,925 bytes −30‎ Rem. Laffer, a noted economist but a stretch to call him an intellectual; remove nobiliary particle from Jouvenel's name, English is inconsistent on this but some figures are always referred to mononymously without it (Jouvenel, Tocqueville), whereas others always are referred to with it (De Gaulle)
  • curprev 20:1520:15, 9 July 2024‎ Trakking talk contribs‎ 19,955 bytes +56‎ two readditions: North seems serious and notable enough to merit inclusion; Hoppe combines libertarian views [capitalism etc.] with conservative views [family values, belief in a natural aristocracy, some support for monarchy etc.]
  • curprev 20:1420:14, 9 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 19,899 bytes −31‎ Rem. Repplier, dubious notability. Her article is a stub, and as someone whose academic focus is the early conservative movement in America, I can tell you she never gets discussed as a particularly important figure, even if she held conservative views. Open to being corrected on this if you want to open the matter on talk, but I don't see anything in the scholarship that paints her as notable and central enough for inclusion here.
  • curprev 20:1020:10, 9 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 19,930 bytes −43‎ Rem. Sokal; the Sokal affair exposed sloppiness, but not leftist rot like the grievance studies affair. Sokal might himself be a conservative (I think he's actually libertarian), but in any case he is not an "ideas guy" nor is he notable as a thinker who has contributed to American conservative thought
  • curprev 20:0620:06, 9 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 19,973 bytes −125‎ JB Calhoun might have been personally a conservative, but nothing in his page or that I can find online makes clear how he is relevant as a thinker to this template. Durant is also not notable qua conservative, even if those were his personal views. Maybe add Mortimer Adler for a more explicitly conservative equivalent if you like, though I'm refraining to avoid bloat. Rem. Hoppe, who seems to me a libertarian.
  • curprev 20:0020:00, 9 July 2024‎ Trakking talk contribs‎ m 20,098 bytes −23‎ already in the activist section
  • curprev 19:5819:58, 9 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 20,121 bytes +32‎ Add Dick Viguerie to activists. The scholarship on the history of American conservatism universally agrees that Viguerie transformed the conservative movement by introducing direct mailing to American political fundraising, substantially increasing the war chests of conservative organizations. He is essentially to the story of the American right.
  • curprev 19:4319:43, 9 July 2024‎ GreenLoeb talk contribs‎ 20,089 bytes −482‎ Trimming commentators per talk page. Some of these are conservative but not notable enough for inclusion, some are libertarians, and some are hard-right non-conservatives. Park is better classed as an activist, Palin is most notable as a politician, Weyrich is best known as an activist. Cleaning up activist list as well. Please discuss on talk before reverting.
