→About pages needing deletion: Please don't!
No problem. There are enough other administrators. Thank you for deleting the pages.--[[User:JoeyJ|JoeyJ]] 06:58, 30 July 2014 (EDT)

== Please '''don't''' delete user pages ==
This is not meant as a criticism of your work. I fully respect what you are doing in many areas. However, I don't think you should be deleting (that is, marking for deletion) anyone's user and user talk pages. Well, pages that were vandalism or spam right from the start should be deleted. But other than that, they should be kept. Even those of users that have left a long time ago.
Some of the users whose pages have recently been deleted are pretty much "founding" or "charter" members of Conservapedia. Well, not literally, but they were there nearly at the start. Some of them were Andy's original home-school students! Others were contributing during the "glory days" of 2008 or so. Many of those people have gone on to college and the rest of their lives, but they deserve to have their work kept. During the "glory days" era, there were good-natured contests to see which team could make the most contributions. There seem to have been 5 of them; see [http://www.conservapedia.com/Category:Conservapedia_Contest Category:Conservapedia_Contest]. (I was around during that era, but did not participate in the contests.) I wish those days would come back, but I am not optimistic.
Aside from the contests, those days saw a lot of contributions by a lot of dedicated people, in many subjects.
Among the pages that were deleted in 2014, I see that, just off the top of my head, these people made constructive contributions, and should have their history preserved:
Deborah, Foxtrot, BethanyS, Tash, Jallen, Jaques, Crocoite, Fantasia, WilliamBeason, Tims, Jinxmchue, DeanS, JerryCa. I forget Bethany's sister's name.
Some of these were prolific contributors in the subject I was interested in, mathematics: Fantasia, WilliamBeason, Foxtrot.
Any large wiki project should have its history preserved, so that newcomers can see it.
When I have more time to go over people's contributions, I'm going to ask Andy to restore these pages.
But other than that, keep up the good work. I mean it.
