→For God's sake! What was the matter with this person?: new section
Dear DavidB4, while I appreciate the time you took in writing [[Gun nut]], it completely duplicates the existing [[Gun enthusiast]] page. Could we possibly merge the two and then have a redirect from Gun nut to Gun enthusiast? Thanks, [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 16:07, 6 April 2016 (EDT)

:Yes indeed we could. I should have done more looking before I wrote. I'll see what I can do, but if you get there first, feel free to merge them your self. Thanks for pointing this out! --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 17:55, 6 April 2016 (EDT)

== For God's sake! What was the matter with this person? ==
So I was doing a routine look at RC, and I came across your change to [[Battery (electrical)]]. You're right; it needs more work. But I noticed that you de-wikilinked the various sizes: "AAA", "C", "D", etc. I immediately thought "This looks like the work of TAR." Sure enough, it was. He was planning to have a page titled "C", about the uses of size C batteries? What was it going to say? Something like "C is a size of batteries that you will use when you cash in you 401K to buy a lifetime supply of batteries, along with guns and bullets, so you can spend the rest of your life holed up in Idaho waiting for the <s>zombie apocalypse</s> gun-grabbers"? Did he not bother to look and see that there is already a "C" page, about the programming language? Similarly for "D". He apparently didn't bother to look—or did he?—and see that there was a page about the one-letter abbreviation for the Democratic party.
But "AAA" was most telling. (Plain "AA" was just a redlink.) His "AAA" link was to a page about, among other things, the American Automobile Association. And who wrote that page? TAR did. He linked to that '''knowing full well that the page was about other things!!'''
I'm going to create the "Conservapedia:How to create and maintain high-quality articles" page. And it will have a few things to say about wikilinks. The things I cited above are not the only instances of this kind of stuff that I have seen.
