Fixed links to disambiguation pages

I have fixed a link to a disambiguation page on this template for WikiProject Disambiguation. I changed the link Free festival to Free party since that seemed to be the most relevant link on the disambiguation page, and the only article that really seemed to be on the subject. If you disagree with my decision then feel free to change it to link to an article that you think is more appropriate. - EdoDodo ^talk 18:13, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hippies and violent protests, about including a link to
Long hot summer of 1967
on this template

Hippies clearly were part of protests that got violent. Many ended up in jail also for non-violent resistance tactics which also get you to jail. After 1967 the US state forces got more violent againts anti-war and other types of protests. A major example was

1968 Democratic National Convention protest activity. 1968 was a worldwide year of major protests which got violent from both sides and even if you were strictly non violent protester you would still get tear gas and sometimes water sprayed or beaten up by the police. Hippies didn´t just hang around parks and smoked weed.--Eduen (talk) 15:24, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

This section, originally addressed to me personally (?), was because I twice reverted Eduen's good faith recent edit adding

nonviolent protests. The page is specific and focuses, by title and topic, on the summer of 1967. Hippies, who were engaged in the Summer of Love during the same summer (please read this page) and advocating for love, nonviolence, and peace, did not participate in these destructive riots. Are there sources that they did? The topics are not related. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:30, 3 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
