Cleanup and Improve

[edit]

I came looking for a description and definition of fascism, and stumbled across this somewhat inappropriate "disambiguation" page. There is a perfectly good page (Fascism) with a discussion of concepts, politics, history, etc. This "disambiguation" page contains hundreds of words of discussion and editorial - any interesting/useful bits of this discussion belong in Fascism. For those who've worked on the discussion, I see problem areas as:

  • The bulk of the page is not a disambiguation page at all. A disambig page should be just a list of links to other pages with similarly named things. See many examples of good disambig pages, eg. Number_(disambiguation), and see Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Disambiguation_pages
  • The text is almost completely unreferenced - just one ref at the end and that's not in a normal/useful format.
  • The text seems very one sided - all content seems to be from one text, by an author who seems to have a very specific ideas.
  • Confused - the text mixes discussion of concepts (unreferenced) with nods to history (unreferenced), and seems to confuse fascism with related concepts.

I'm removing the big slab of problematic text. If people feel that the text or parts of it is important, it would be much better incorporated into the Fascism page. --Drpixie (talk) 12:22, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the start of this. I too ended up here instead of the actual "Fascism" page. This makes absolutely no sense to me, and the opposite of any disambiguation page I've ever seen on Wikipedia. The term "fascism" should lead to the page of that topic, with (as is the case already) the disambig link at the top of the page for the myriad national references and other similarly termed references. I also expected that this talk page would at least explain why this disambig page gets in the way of going straight to the article on the subject. Very odd. --Craig (t|c) 07:29, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Fascism is left wing (stemming from communism/ socialism) not right wing. Interesting and sort of fascist to incorrectly represent history that way. 72.184.167.174 (talk) 11:00, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
