  • 16:3216:32, 24 November 2024 diff hist −47 Template:Conservatism US Booker Washington is better accounted for as an activist, not an intellectual. (Double categorization is fine, but would require significant notability in intellectual work; BW was mostly an orator and an organizer) Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
  • 16:2416:24, 24 November 2024 diff hist −27 Template:Conservatism US Rem. Taney; Taney was quite simply a Jacksonian defender of the slavery status quo. That does not make him a conservative; such a term has little meaning in the context of antebellum politics. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
  • 16:2216:22, 24 November 2024 diff hist −121 Template:Conservatism US Rem. Hamilton, Washington, James Buchanan; there are qualified ways in which these men might be called conservative (adj.), but they were not, in the relevant sense, conservatives (noun). Such a term had little meaning at that time. Also, don't bloat the template. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

Given its historical importance as the chief organ and intellectual clearinghouse of neoconservatism, I think it must stay.

  • 17:5117:51, 3 November 2024 diff hist −33 m Template:Conservatism US Good additions, Biohistorian; however, I would not include LaRouche. His conspiratorial movement defies easy categorization, but it is decidedly fringe and originated on the political left. It is a kind of crackpotism that really is beyond left/right, and not especially relevant to the history of the conservative movement in the US.

  • 23:5923:59, 23 October 2024 diff hist +40 Template:Conservatism US Partial reversion; I'm fine excluding MDE, but Red Scare is not a dirtbag left podcast. Its hosts began their careers on the left, but they are both now solidly on the right, they are influential on RW discourse, and they are friends with Tucker. This is not Chapo Trap House.
  • 23:5623:56, 23 October 2024 diff hist +105 m Template:Conservatism in Germany Add Reck-Malleczewen and his book, Diary of a Man in Despair, a classic and highly regarded statement of opposition to Nazism from a reactionary traditionalist point of view

It could fit in a personal life section, but only if carefully couched and not presented as a “raw factoid” Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

Weyl who is minor and fringe; readd Rieff, I don't know what "(noting his wife etc.)" means in this context unless the point is that Sontag was liberal, but that is of no relevance to Rieff's own views (and in any case they were not married for long). Few books receive more attention on the right than Rieff's "Triumph of the Therapeutic"; his article is short and needs expanded, but he is most definitely a major American conservative thinker.
