That said, I understand that 500 errors are by definition unknown problems.  They are sent when the server knows that something bad happened, but has no idea what and couldn't even retrieve the usual error page to serve.  In other words, 500 errors are a pain, especially when they come and go.  Perhaps there is really nothing which can be done about this.  I will say that I've seen this kind of problem before with lower-price web hosting.  In my opinion, this is often the sourse of a 500 error, but I know there are many others as well.  If this is the case, complaining to the service provider or changing providers may be the only way to resolve this.<br />

If this is an issue which everyone else does not really care about, then feel free to ignore this post entirely.  However, I thought I would just try to show that this is indeed a problem.  I know I would want to know if my public website was going down for one or more hours every couple days.  Here are some "proof" images (although I know they ''could'' be faked) in case my word isn't enough.<br />

Need I go on?  Just to be clear, I am not posting this just to complain, but to try to be helpful.  Have a great day! --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 14:40, 14 April 2016 (EDT)

==Copyright==

Many of us have been spending most of the past month trying to clean up after TAR.  The fact that so many copyright problems have been left behind indicates that Conservapedia editors may not appreciate the importance of copyright law.  The edit box always displays the statement "You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it from a public domain or similar free resource (see Conservapedia:Copyrights for details). '''Do not submit copyrighted work without permission!'''"  Permission means an agreement not only to place the text on Conservapedia, but also to license it to others on the same basis that all other Conservapedia content is licensed.  In some cases, TAR just copied and pasted from other websites without attributing the content to them.  In other cases, TAR copied large portions of text that a blog had quoted from another source.  I would suggest that everyone take the time to read [[Conservapedia:Copyrights]] again.  I also believe that we need more talk page templates to document when people have received permission to copy material.  I assume that getting written permissions would be best, and that they should be stored in some central place, just in case misunderstanding occur in the future.  [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 08:46, 24 April 2016 (EDT)
