=== 2400 Words Quotes from James Wesley Rawles Works===
In general (for non-Conservapedia editors), Rawles, founder/owner of [[The Survival Blog]], has suggested 800 words seems to be a reasonable and commonplace [[Talk:Fair_use#Authorization_by_NYT_Best-Selling_Conservative_Christian_Preparedness_Author_James_Wesley_Rawles_to_use_.22up_to_3_Quotes_of_800_Words_Each.22_of_his_Writings_per_CP_Article|Fair Use]] except/[[Conservapedia:Guidelines#Attribution|quoting]] amount for [[Fair Use]] (See [http://www.survivalblog.com/provisos.html Important Fair Use Provisos]). However, for editors of Conservapedia, on December 30, 2014, he made a special authorization of 3 times that quantity saying "You are certainly welcome to use up to three quotes of 800 words each, in any of your wiki articles."
