== Team ==
 
 
Hi there
 
 
I am just planing to make a team to update, at the Main Page, the "Article of the month". Could be you, Learn_together and me. I am sure Andy will approve it. Agreee? --[[User:Joaquín Martínez]], [[User talk:Joaquín Martínez|talk]] 09:41, 8 December 2007 (EST)
 
 
:Yes, I agree. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 19:47, 8 December 2007 (EST)
 
 
::Excellent my friend. --[[User:Joaquín Martínez]], [[User talk:Joaquín Martínez|talk]] 21:16, 8 December 2007 (EST)
 
 
:: The reply from Mr. Schlafly was this:
 
 
''Sounds like a fantastic idea, Joaquin! I'm all for it.''
 
 
First thing we have to do is to make a list of featured articles, then select the best ones. We can start now.
 
 
--[[User:Joaquín Martínez]], [[User talk:Joaquín Martínez|talk]] 13:19, 13 December 2007 (EST)
 
 
:Good. How about if you make a team page where we can collaborate on our efforts. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 13:45, 13 December 2007 (EST)
 
 
::Good idea. --[[User:Joaquín Martínez]], [[User talk:Joaquín Martínez|talk]] 15:05, 13 December 2007 (EST)

==[[Genocide]]==
 
 
This seems a fairly straightforward issue to me.  I have seen no definition of genocide outside of this site's article that requires that genocide be carried out by a government.  The UN has not defined genocide this way, and the State Department states explicitly that genocide occurred in Bosnia. [http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2868.htm]  Based on these facts, I think the definition in the article should be corrected, and the Srebrenica massacre should be reinserted as an example of genocide.  What are your thoughts?  [[User:SSchultz|SSchultz]] 21:43, 13 December 2007 (EST)

::::Yeah, I saw; I think that 2 is justified, as they are getting two or three cats added, and it can be slightly harder to figure exactly where - as an image - they belong.

No Ping-ponging Conversations! Archive Policy
Conversations are easier to read if they stay on one page. If I leave a message on your talk page, please respond there; I'm watching it. If you start a conversation here, I'll reply here, so please watch this page. Conversations which have not had additions in 14 days may be archived. Or just deleted and recreation prohibited. My "castle", my rules. A 'conversation' is a group of messages delimited by a heading. Hopefully this will allow conversations to stay in one place long enough for people who are interested to read the whole thing, without leading to an overly long page. Make sure you sign your posts, please.

Contest 5

Hey Crocoite, as you were a participant in the last contest I'm just giving you the heads up that the draft of the point system for contest 5 has been written, and we're using the talk page as a forum for any notes/complaints that any users may have. Thanks, --IDuan 20:23, 2 February 2008 (EST)

Great Job

Nice job on CREDO Mobile Crocoite!--IDuan 13:11, 3 February 2008 (EST)

More on this, just so your aware - due to some a question Fox brought up as to whether all the organizations were liberal or not, I redid the phrasing a bit [1] --IDuan 13:38, 3 February 2008 (EST)
Thanks Iduan. Your edit is appropriate. Since a liberal company has identified all their favorite groups, it is fair enough to identify them here on Conservapedia. --Crocoite 13:41, 3 February 2008 (EST)

Thanks for those recent blocks!--Aschlafly 00:32, 7 February 2008 (EST)

Your welcome Andy. I'm not in the mood for their liberal games. ;-) --Crocoite 06:14, 7 February 2008 (EST)

Delete Notice

The way that delete notices work is that you discuss the matter on the appropriate page. --GDewey 19:03, 7 February 2008 (EST)

I'm not discussing this with you. --Crocoite 19:06, 7 February 2008 (EST)
WHy not? THe delete notice was a genuine attempt to improve the site. I cannot understand why you would not discuss. --GDewey 19:08, 7 February 2008 (EST)
Would you discuss it with me? --RedFive 19:13, 7 February 2008 (EST)
No. --Crocoite 19:14, 7 February 2008 (EST)
Aw, shoot... :( --RedFive 19:19, 7 February 2008 (EST)
How about me? Just kidding.(thought I'd put in my two cents) :P ~BCSTalk2ME 19:21, 7 February 2008 (EST)
 ;-) --Crocoite 19:23, 7 February 2008 (EST)

Was blocking him for a week really the best way to handle that situation? It certainly doesn't inspire me to offer constructive criticism in the future. --RedFive 19:36, 7 February 2008 (EST)

I'm not discussing this with you. --Crocoite 19:39, 7 February 2008 (EST)
It wasn't constructive criticism; it was destructive criticism. ~BCSTalk2ME 19:40, 7 February 2008 (EST)

Wow, Crocoite…

…getting a bit unpleasant there, aren't you? --MakeTomorrow 15:59, 8 February 2008 (EST)

I'm not in the mood for liberal distractions. --Crocoite 16:02, 8 February 2008 (EST)
Case in point. Distractions from what, might I ask? --MakeTomorrow 16:03, 8 February 2008 (EST)

MakeTomorrow you're acting troll-ish, if the only thing you go on talk pages for is to tell users that they're "getting unpleasant" then you may end up with a block.--IDuan 16:32, 8 February 2008 (EST)

Great blocks!--Aschlafly 20:56, 13 February 2008 (EST)

Thanks Andy! --Crocoite 21:03, 13 February 2008 (EST)
Hey you did all the hard work! Deleting pages while also blocking users! Excellent job!--IDuan 21:07, 13 February 2008 (EST)


Thank you blocking Fliggle91. Nice job. -^_^- Fuzzy 00:01, 16 February 2008 (EST)

I just got back from the movies and I was ready to block a liberal, atheist vandal. Thanks for the reverts. --Crocoite 00:03, 16 February 2008 (EST)

Nice kickoff entry!!!--Aschlafly 20:48, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Thanks Andy! I made it right before I had to leave for a friends baptism. --Crocoite 21:55, 17 February 2008 (EST)

The Onion

Hey Crocoite - just to make sure, you know the Onion is a parody website right? Like that John thing didn't really happen ..--IDuan 22:54, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Yes, I know The Onion is a parody website. I still like the example. --Crocoite 23:14, 17 February 2008 (EST)
Ok that's fine, I just wanted to make sure you knew :D --IDuan 23:17, 17 February 2008 (EST)

NPR

I noticed that awhile back you found some sources pointing out NPR's liberal bias. I've also heard NPR be accused of being elitist as well, such as that its listening population is significantly richer than the general population. I'm looking for sources for that and I was wondering if you had anything. Thanks! DanH 18:57, 18 February 2008 (EST)

Dan, I will glad to help you with sources after I finish a major article I'm doing for contest5. --Crocoite 19:03, 18 February 2008 (EST)

Wow, what a great entry on National Institutes of Health!! unsigned by User:Aschlafly

Thanks Andy! --Crocoite 01:39, 19 February 2008 (EST)

Awesome Breaking News

Awesome Breaking News items!--Aschlafly 13:39, 19 February 2008 (EST)

Thanks Andy! Being able to post News items is one of the most fun things about being an administrator on Conservapedia. When I used to suggest news items on Wikipedia, they discouraged me and called me a troll. --Crocoite 13:48, 19 February 2008 (EST)

Thanks

Wow, thanks for fixing "Tuscon" - eek, sorry about that!--IDuan 20:33, 19 February 2008 (EST)

No problem. When I wikified it, I wondered why there was a red link, and found out that it was misspelled + it's now a wanted article. --Crocoite 20:37, 19 February 2008 (EST)

Post-contest

Many thanks, and I really appreciate all you did! We put our noses to the millstone and pounded out some great work - now to see how the scoring tallies :D 10px Fox (talk|contribs) 06:56, 21 February 2008 (EST)

To add - do you have a favourite page you would like nominated for Masterpiece? 10px Fox (talk|contribs) 07:00, 21 February 2008 (EST)
Thanks Fox. I wish my News articles were worth more points but I was able to score big with that National Institutes of Health article.
Great teamwork Fox and you did an awesome job. No, my new articles aren't Masterpiece material. I think your Passover article does qualify for the Masterpiece award. --Crocoite 09:28, 21 February 2008 (EST)

Delete

Hey Crocoite! Can you delete Holodomor denial for me? It's a copy of [2] (with minor variations in wording). Thanks, --IDuan 21:33, 22 February 2008 (EST)

Done. --Crocoite 21:53, 22 February 2008 (EST)
ack, sorry to do this to you Crocoite - but the user who wrote the article now says that they were the ones who wrote it on wikipedia - and they just didn't know to put that note on the talk page, would you mind restoring it? Sorry,--IDuan 11:22, 23 February 2008 (EST)
Done. --Crocoite 11:26, 23 February 2008 (EST)

Swift-Boating

I really enjoyed your entry on Swift-Boating, Crocoite!--Aschlafly 23:54, 24 February 2008 (EST)

Thank you Andy! --Crocoite 23:59, 24 February 2008 (EST)

You are the best Breaking News editor!

Crocoite, you are the best headline editor! Your story about the miracle baby brought a tear to my eye. Please keep that as the top story for at least several hours. Thank you!--Aschlafly 12:20, 25 February 2008 (EST)

Thanks Andy! Will do. --Crocoite 12:22, 25 February 2008 (EST)
