This page used to redirect to Comparative government; however, as explained in most entries on Talk:Comparative government, Comparative Government (CG) is actually a subfield of Comparative Politics (CP), which is a branch of Political Science. So I thought of rewriting the CP article (although now the CG article will require some rewriting as well, since now it doesn't make so much sense any more): I worked on my sandbox and then I copied and pasted the content on this page. Since this page existed already, I couldn't just move the content of my sandbox, so the edit history will not show on this page. It is worth pointing out therefore that this article is not entirely my work: C mon helped with suggestions and editing. The article is not complete yet, but I think now it's good enough to be put up for anyone to edit and improve it.

I would love to know what you all think about it. Thank you to anyone who would like to contribute with editing and comments. SFinamore 19:19, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Template: Lib

I just created a new template Template:Lib. (It's my first template). It takes one parameter, declaring whether the use on the page is "liberal", "libertarian", or "both". My idea was to use it to head articles such as Liberal International and Libertarian perspectives on gay rights where it might not be clear at first glance which meaning is intended. This would hopefully ensure consistent usage within an article, and prevent overly verbose unclear repetition from article to article. Feel free to discuss on the talk page Template_talk:Lib. samwaltz 20:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
