Etymology[edit]

According to https://www.etymonline.com/word/filibuster the word comes from Dutch vrijbueter (now vrijbuiter) "freebooter". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.132.202.155 (talk) 10:58, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also in the wikipedia article on filibuster (military) - yet the two uses come from the same source. That can't be right. -- Beardo (talk) 16:27, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Typo Correction[edit]

Mark Page here: I believe there is a typo (years vs days). Under the United Kingdom heading, at the end of the paragraph beginning with 'In January 2011' the text reads '8 years' and should read '8 days' as the Filibuster debate had reached it's 8th day according to the article.

Hope this is correct.

Thank you,

Mark Page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.184.203.6 (talk) 16:57, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Example from Poland[edit]

By the definition of the filibuster it doesn't seem to even qualify as such. Postponing the vote within permitted, but limited, amount of time is not a debate. Filibuster is specific to the debate. If you'd qualify any and every example of postponing the vote as a "filibuster" you'd have examples flooded with just that throughout the history of the democracies, as it's a common practice.

Japanese ox walk Walk[edit]

Is it worth adding a section on the ox walk of the Japanese Diet?

Re. Ontario Canada filibuster naming all lakes, rivers, etc.[edit]

Should mention that there is an existing link to the transcript in the sources http://hansardindex.ontla.on.ca/hansardeissue/35-1/l028.htm, however it doesn't provide paragraph IDs to allow direct linking to the Zebra Mussels Act, and it's using the HTTP protocol, rather than HTTPS, so the existing link may cause issues with some browsers and security settings. 2001:1970:4D1E:6B00:D9EE:66FD:6E0A:5649 (talk) 00:56, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
