Blocks

Give 'em hell, Terry. --Ed Poor Talk 19:02, 4 January 2010 (EST) Thank you, Vargas Milan --07:12, 1 January 2010

Yes, I have seen your work. Please proceed, and if in doubt post to the articles talk page first, until you get a feel for editing here, plauged as we are by constant vandalism. Dr. Richard Jensen has posted a great deal of material here that he first contributed to Citizendum, so if you have questions about what to include from your previous work, I would suggest posting to his page about that. If you run into difficulty, please let me know. Thanks for asking on how to proceed, and again welcome! --ṬK/Admin/Talk 11:31, 1 January 2010 (EST)

Sorry to have over-reacted

It was simply a nonsensical revert which I found very frustrating considering the work I had put into my edit, and was afraid that the discussion would just end there if I didn't do something back. Which Slayer recording sessions were you at, that's pretty cool! Twitcher 08:13, 13 January 2010 (EST)

Sorry to have missed this. I had an interest in a mixing studio where we did analog to digital transfers, and TV audio to digital in Hollywood. This was back in the late 80's, early 90's when most product was analog, 32 track. We would mix it down to 24 track digital, I believe it was back then, and then to two-track digital. Slayer was unhappy with the drums on a few tracks, and needed some over-dubbing on vocals. --ṬK/Admin/Talk 01:05, 18 January 2010 (EST)

Longstanding (2008) liberal essay

I recently came across the liberal Egalitarian Biblical revisionist essay, on CP no less, which makes a mockery of Biblical interpretation, let alone it not even attempting some balance or acknowledging its opposition, which refutes it: http://www.cbmw.org/Articles. If the manner of hermeneutics which egalitarians employ had been the basis for Christian theology there would have been little that was authoritative about the Bible (and what follows it), which seems to an objective with some. I created a Complementarianism page in response, but what is going on here?Daniel1212 15:08, 18 January 2010 (EST)

It isn't in the essay space, Daniel, so therefore an article. I cannot see that there were ever any comments posted to the article's talk page, nor can I see that it was ever deleted. I am looking at it now, and have asked Andy to do the same. Thanks for the alert! --ṬK/Admin/Talk 15:21, 18 January 2010 (EST)
I meant it was an essay appearing as an article. God willing I could make or edit it as an article presenting both sides, but not treating revisionist reading as equally viable.Daniel1212 16:37, 18 January 2010 (EST)
Look for my email. Thanks! --ṬK/Admin/Talk 16:44, 18 January 2010 (EST)
Go ahead and make the changes you deem fit, Daniel. You are a Godsend! --ṬK/Admin/Talk 18:54, 18 January 2010 (EST)

In honor of Coakley's loss to Brown after Obama campaigned for her

The Thrill is Gone -- "Multiple advisers to President Obama have privately told party officials that they believe Democrat Martha Coakley is going to lose...sources told CNN. [1] Rob Smith 23:26, 18 January 2010 (EST)

I don't want to jinx hi Jinx! the whole deal, but I am betting that Obama and Jimmy Carter are going to have a whole lot more in common soon.... --ṬK/Admin/Talk 23:54, 18 January 2010 (EST)
Yes, but in the mean time America is at war with the Commander In Chief MIA. He got the Nobel Peace Prize for declaring the War on Terror over, only nobody told al-Qeada the war was over. Rob Smith 00:39, 19 January 2010 (EST)

Liberalism template

I see you added Mainstream Media to the liberalism template. Could you move it be in alphabetical order with the rest? I'd do it myself, but it's protected. Thanks! DouglasA 19:21, 20 January 2010 (EST)

Tabloid Reference

Why does the Obama article start with a reference from an on-line tabloid newspaper? I thought CP didn't use National Enquirer style references. --MichaelJB 13:54, 23 January 2010 (EST)

Please be more specific, and provide a link, if you will, so I can readily find exactly what you are talking about. Thanks. --ṬK/Admin/Talk 17:49, 23 January 2010 (EST)
The article for our president, Barack Obama [2] starts with the allegation that his first name is 'Barry'. The source provided, and the very first source of the article, is an opinion piece written by the on-line tabloid newspaper Pravda. [3] Their front page is headlining sex scandals, Nostradamus and shows a gratuitous photo of someone's posterior. It is my understanding that CP does not utilize references from the tabloid press. I could find another acceptable reference if you’d like, but I'd like to make the change myself if I have to do the research.--MichaelJB 18:07, 23 January 2010 (EST)
Is not Pravda a general circulation newspaper from Russia? Compared to U.S. newspapers, most U.K. ones are more tabloid in style, but that doesn't make them like the National Enquirer, does it? --ṬK/Admin/Talk 18:24, 23 January 2010 (EST)
Pravda stopped being the official mouthpiece of the USSR 20 years ago. Nowadays there are many different Pravdas of one sort or another; the on-line version, in my opinion, is mainly tabloid trash. Don't take my word for it, go there yourself. Since the Obama article was once one of your Featured Articles, I assumed that you would want a quality article with reputable references. --MichaelJB 19:41, 23 January 2010 (EST)
"You assume"? You are an editor here as well, right? Posting snotty retorts here will get you just one response from me, MichaelJB, so either make the the proposed changes by substituting the current reference or not. --ṬK/Admin/Talk 20:04, 23 January 2010 (EST)
I didn't make a 'snotty retort' as you call it; I was only trying to help. In the future I will 'presume' instead of 'assume'. I would have made the changes earlier but the article was locked as you very well know and I have seen other editors blocked permanently for daring to make minor changes to the Obama article without the proper authorization. Since the article has been unlocked, someone has added two lunatic fringe references to go along with the tabloid reference. Since editing wars are a good way to get blocked, I shall leave the editing of the 'AKA Barry' factoid to you and the other editor. Happy to be of assistance. --MichaelJB 20:31, 23 January 2010 (EST)
Michael, we are producing a conservative encyclopedia here, not a discussion forum. TK was nice enough to open the article for you because of your complaint about sourcing. All discussion after that is just blathering and a waste of time, which will not be tolerated. Find sources you like or move on to less controversial articles that need attention. Geoff PlourdeComplain! 20:41, 23 January 2010 (EST)

Just FYI, Michael, Geo.plrd is also an Administrator here, and I doubt he (of all people) would have added "lunatic fringe" sources. Of all the Admins here, you really picked the wrong one to insult, IMHO. --ṬK/Admin/Talk 20:45, 23 January 2010 (EST)

Gentlemen: If I knew that I'd receive this much flack about the alleged validity of references, I would have kept my opinions to myself. If the two of you honestly think Pravda is a reputable source for this project, I will no longer argue. Please check my contributions, you will find that this alleged blather was intermingled with edits to the NASA article. I have learned my lesson and will no longer make any suggestions about the quality of the Obama article. --MichaelJB 20:58, 23 January 2010 (EST)
Bite me. I opened the article for you to change the cite, Geo went to it as well and added sources. If I didn't want you to make the change to the Pravda source, would I have unlocked it? Obviously you have learned nothing, and need to get that chip off your shoulder, or leave. --ṬK/Admin/Talk 21:05, 23 January 2010 (EST)
Added a reference from Newsweek. --MichaelJB 21:19, 23 January 2010 (EST)
Thanks! --ṬK/Admin/Talk 22:22, 23 January 2010 (EST)

Juan de la Cosa‎/Cosa de la Juan

Thanks, TK. AlexWD 23:16, 29 January 2010 (EST)

De nada. You're still in the dog house for the sloth remark, however. --ṬK/Admin/Talk 23:20, 29 January 2010 (EST)

Rename please?

Hi, when you get a chance, could you please check into this page? - http://conservapedia.com/Talk:Danny_gokey It needs a rename (to correct last name to uppercase "G"). Much appreciated - thanks! Taj 19:57, 30 January 2010 (EST)

Re: above request - please disregard, Jpatt has just renamed it, sorry for the bother. Taj 20:03, 30 January 2010 (EST)

Schools, guns, and tyranny

Hi, Terry. See Talk:Public school tyranny‎ please. --Ed Poor Talk 21:09, 6 February 2010 (EST)

OK! --ṬK/Admin/Talk 21:23, 6 February 2010 (EST)


Merging Articles

First of all, let me say again that I'm sorry for merging articles without permission. However, as you can see here: http://www.conservapedia.com/Category:Merge_candidates there are a lot of articles that someone put a merge tag on and then there's been no further action. With your permission, I'd like to start merging these. I know there are a lot of articles, and it'll be a lot of work, but I think that if we can merge the ones that need to be merged or take the tag off the ones that don't, it'll do a lot to clean up Conservapedia and make it easier to read. I don't want to do anything I shouldn't, though, or to step on anyone's toes, so I'm asking you first if I have permission to do it, and if there are any special rules I should follow when I do it.--Whizkid 00:29, 7 February 2010 (EST)

Thanks for bringing that issue back to my attention. Some of the merge templates were put there by vandals/tricksters, from the few I just looked at. I will give it a good going over later tonight (West Coast) and try to remember to leave you a note about the situation! --ṬK/Admin/Talk 00:51, 7 February 2010 (EST)
On the note of merging, I found this gem. I wasn't sure whether to put the merge, stub (not likely), or delete template on it. It seems like useless information to me, but I wasn't sure if you wanted it deleted or not. -- Jeff W. LauttamusDiscussion 16:59, 7 February 2010 (EST)
Just perfect! Another "contribution" by a vandal site member.....you know one of those who claim they want to help, are not here to mock or do damage. Thanks for noticing, JLauttamus. --ṬK/Admin/Talk 18:57, 7 February 2010 (EST)

I've merged the As and Bs, although I wasn't able to find your notes. I've done them all, with the exception of four of them. "Almost There", "Awake" and "Bion" should, I think, be left unchanged. The first two are albums, and the third is a Greek poet. If If we were to merge all the ancient Greeks into the Ancient Greek article, I think it'll become little more than just a list of names. I wasn't able to figure out how to merge the "Biological Classification" article. As for the "William Blackstone" article, I think the "Sir William Blackstone" article is the one that should be deleted and "William Blackstone" kept. Please let me know what you think.--Whizkid 14:49, 8 February 2010 (EST)

So I can delete all those remaining in the A's and B's? Let me look into your questions and get back to you. --ṬK/Admin/Talk 15:41, 8 February 2010 (EST)
You should be able to delete everything in the A's and B's except for the ones I just mentioned, as well as "Sir William Blackstone". --Whizkid 16:41, 8 February 2010 (EST)
