No. they do not contain substance.


Tim, I disagree with your change on the page count. The study pages are very useful and should qualify towards page count. For example, a page of what are the most important Modern Terms beginning in "M" is a valuable (and even debatable) page that should count towards the total. I'm reverting the page back. Feel free to take a vote on this if you like. --Aschlafly 00:40, 5 January 2007 (EST)

I disagree. The goal is to eventually have as many terms as possible, not just the best or most important ones. The pages are not there to show what the most important terms are, they are to sort the terms to make it easier to find them. (Tim S.)

Counter - The study guide pages are important entries that make Conservapedia better than other encyclopedias like Wackypedia. These entries take more time to build than an ordinary entry, and are extremely helpful to students. An entry about blitzkrieg, for example, only tells a student about one entry. But the Modern Era Terms B gives the student more information and a way to learn far more than simply blitzkrieg. These are important entries that should be part of the overall count.--Aschlafly 17:24, 5 January 2007 (EST)


The term lists don't exactly qualify as entries, but they are a extremely important part of Conservapedia. For example, since we do not have a printed list of the Modern Era Terms, I will be relying on the lists on Conservapedia to tell me the terms I need to know for our upcoming final exam. If the term list were not there, I would have to find important terms in the lecture and search for them one by one and would most likely still miss many key terms. This shows just how valuable the terms lists are. They make studying easy and save hours of time. Therefore, I feel that the term lists are just as important as the term pages.

As I said before, I'm not sure that the term lists are not technically "entries". Perhaps we should replace "entries" with another word such as "pages" in the first sentence.

No I do not think that they qualify as "entries"
