The article is in clear violation of section 5 of featured artice criteria, which state that the article "should be of appropriate length, staying tightly focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail; it should use summary style to cover sub-topics that are treated in greater detail in any "daughter" articles." The ideal recommended length is around 32 kb which mean the article should be halved and the rest should be transfered to "daughter" article. FWBOarticle
Introduction
I have shorten the introduction of Libetarianism to the bearest minimum while transfering everything else to "overview" section. I'm not suggesting that this should be final. However, I believe we can try to slim down "overview" first so we can figure out the way to make this article more readable (shorter). FWBOarticle
Terminology/History
I believe that terminology can be absorbed into History section given that modern libetarianism and anarchism are separate ideology. I'm not saying this section should be final. I actually believe that more coherent narrative of how the original 18th century idea evolved through 19th and early 20th century. The current section doesn't provide "overview" of the history of (classical) liberalism and libetarianism. At least, Popper, Hayek and Keynes should be mentioned. Despite Kynesianism, I actually believe Keynes himself is an exemplary example of libetarians. The current article make it looks like 18th century ideas suddenly jumped to 20 century. FWBOarticle
