| − | :: Good news on that front is that I was discussing on e-mail today with [[James Wesley Rawles]] to get his permission to use a larger than normal "fair use" amount of his authoritative source materials to build some good quality articles. He is the most respected and popular author/consultant in this field. He gave me the go ahead: "You are certainly welcome to use up to three quotes of 800 words each, in any of your wiki articles." That's 2400 words of great source material with me writing a wrapper around it and integrating other materials plus all the Wiki-link work and formatting. His site [[The Survival Blog]] is amazingly detailed and has received almost 71 million unique visits since July 2005. That's more than 320,000 unique visits per week. He is a big fan of Conservapedia and links to it where possible, doing his best to avoid the "LiberalPropagandaPedia". These articles will definitely help draw a new audience to Conservapedia.
