[WikiEN-l] Libertarian spam

[Akash Mehta]

Articles generally don't need to be in more than two sidebars anyway;
sidebars are good but they shouldn't be over used. And if there is a
decent reason to remove all these templates I can write an app in VB
to run through all the articles and remove the template (with human
operation, of course) but there needs to be justification as changes
can't be easily reverted en masse (yet), except by one of our busy
sysops.
