Revision as of 21:35, May 29, 2008
I would like to post the following to the Jesse Helms article after "Foreign Policy" but am locked out. I don't know why. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BertSchlossberg (talk)
- Editing is often turned off overnight (U.S. time), which may have been your problem, although that means that you shouldn't have been able to post here, so unless it was turned back on in the meantime, I can't explain it. Would you like to try it again? Philip J. Rayment 08:47, 19 December 2007 (EST)
- Right. The Jesse Helms entry is not locked.--Aschlafly 09:06, 19 December 2007 (EST)
Contents
When only part of an article is accepted
I recently posted an entry, F-105 Thunderchief, and included a references section and a category, but in the final article, neither section shows up, although they are clearly present when the "Edit" button is clicked. Just now, this happened again with another entry I tried to make. What gives? Does the site only accept so much information in a new entry? --Frey 17:58, 27 February 2008 (EST)
- You had a bad <ref> tag which I have fixed. BrianCo 18:02, 27 February 2008 (EST)
- I did? Oopsie. And thanks.--Frey 18:09, 27 February 2008 (EST)
KAL 007 article on Main page
I would like to propose having the article Korean Airlines Flight 007 as a featured article on the Main page. Thanks.BertSchlossberg 15:32, 1 March 2008 (EST) (finally got it right!)
- I'd like to review it in detail and hear what others think about it. On its surface, without yet studying it, it appears to be a major work. Congratulations!--Aschlafly 15:58, 1 March 2008 (EST)
- There's a page for listing proposed featured articles. Philip J. Rayment 17:52, 1 March 2008 (EST)
To Kill The Child/Leaving Beirut
I just wrote an exteremly long and extensive artical about these two songs. Then, when I went to save the page, it said that it did not save it because there was a quote in their to explain about the song that contained a profanity. What gives? I thought that this website was supposed to educate people, yet people cannot be educated if they cannot know what the artical is talking about and what the proof is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Std (talk)
- We have a profanity filter for good reason, but sometimes exceptions need to be made. You haven't supplied enough information for us to judge if this warrants an exception. Philip J. Rayment 22:47, 10 April 2008 (EDT)
What exactly are the exeptions that would get me the warrent?
How do you upload an image?
—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Std (talk)
- You have to ask an administrator. There was a problem with people uploading obscene materials. HenryS 00:42, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
- An exception would be warranted if, for example, the word caught by the filter was not objectionable in the context. Philip J. Rayment 02:57, 11 April 2008 (EDT)
Can anyone do an article on Cong. Larry McDonald, a passenger aboard KAL 007?BertSchlossberg 07:01, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
Proposal
I wrote some time ago about making plans to build Conservapedia into a force to be reckoned with. This site has the potential to become a powerful tool, but still has a ways to go, I think. I just did a search on ACORN, a group funded by leftist billionaire George Soros that is becoming a very serious threat to the integrity of local elections. All I found was a one-line page about the oak tree. Of course the solution to this is to simply create the page myself. But I don't think this solves the larger issue; to my knowledge, there isn't a program of incentives inviting conservatives to contribute high-quality information and research articles on our opposition. How do we do this?
For one, I take it that Conservapedia gets some heavy traffic. Heavy traffic = $$$ in potential advertising revenue. Use that money to attract the right people to help build Conservapedia into a powerhouse of information. This could include rewards for college students, or hired admins (background checked with references and resume, of course). Perhaps contact county or state Republican/conservative groups, show what you've done, and propose a team effort to get more people to contribute articles to the web site.
In short, there's a million ways that this project can grow, and it is more important to me that the conservative cause succeeds than to keep these ideas to myself. My hope is that someone reading this will take hold of them... Alexander 17:35, 29 May 2008 (EDT)
