== Deferring to Wikipedia ==

Is there a good reason to have an article here instead of just deferring to Wikipedia's?

== Horseshoe theory ==
:''Discussion started: 09:45, 2 October 2020 (UTC)''
I removed the reference to horseshoe theory from the Three Telos model section, because it doesn't seem that a ternary representation would support horseshoe theory. In order for the diagram to do that, wouldn't it have to wrap around in some way, like a cylinder or sphere? If it should be there, feel free to reinstate it with an explanation of how it relates to the telos model. [[User:Kristomun|Kristomun]] ([[User talk:Kristomun|talk]]) 09:45, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

:: I suppose I'm saying that I don't see how drawing a horseshoe on the Telos chart is any more informative than drawing a clockwise/counterclockwise arrow on a Political Compass chart; and thus that the association requires more explanation. For that matter, the Nolan chart may show the horseshoe theory just as easily as (if not moreso than) the Telos chart. So I'd think it would need its own section - something about political spectra that are represented by curved surfaces.
:: As for Friedman being right, I was referring to economic right. The 2D chart on this page puts classical liberalism right-of-center, and in particular, the Political Compass authors consider him to be quite a ways on the right; see [[https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2]]).

== Talk page format ==
:''Discussion started: 06:55, 4 October 2020 (UTC)''
I reformatted this page a bit, adding a topic title to the "[[#Deferring to Wikipedia]]" section, and adding "<code><nowiki>:''Discussion started: ~~~~~''</nowiki></code> subheadings to all of the talk page topics on this page. I also added a copy of the <code><nowiki>{{subst:TalkPageIntro}}</nowiki></code> at the top of the page, which should add a current copy of [[:Template:TalkPageIntro]] as the leading paragraph of the page. Note that it's possible to literally put "<code><nowiki>:''Discussion started: ~~~~~''</nowiki></code>" right underneath the section header for any section started on a talk page, and MediaWiki will fill in the date and the [[Help:UTC timestamp|UTC timestamp]]. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 06:55, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
