*What is "bogus" is creating a hidden space for one team, and not the other.  What is indeed bogus is giving night editing to members of your team who didn't have it, but refusing to grant the same courtesy to the other team when it was requested, and even though every Sysop here would be patrolling their every move.  And it is indeed bogus to make such challenges when the person making the challenges allowed the entire ships registry of the United States Navy to be copied to CP, even though those articles are of dubious benefit to this encyclopedia, and forced others to spend countless hours adding the needed links and categories to them, after the previous contest ended. Please don't be posting publicly as you have done, before contacting the person and asking for an explanation privately. It shows a lack of respect for others.  --<font color="#1E90FF" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:TK|şyŝoρ-₮K]]</font>^{<font color="DC143C">[[User_Talk:TK|/Ṣρёаќǃ]]</font>} 19:29, 12 November 2007 (EST)

:Actually - Andy, thanks for making me look over it another time. I changed the label from most wanted to "Short Pages" and then noticed something. Schultz multiplied by 3 - and gave himself 303 points. In reality - assuming he thought the pages were most wanted - he should have multiplied by 7. However, given your objections, I merely changed it to 4  - since the number of points per short new entry is 4 - which still gave him more points than before. I'm leaving it up to him whether to change it to seven or not though - but regardless, we wind up better either way - so thanks!--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 19:58, 12 November 2007 (EST)

==Copying Pages==

Hello all, I also wanted to raise another controversial issue.  Andy has said - and I respect this conclusion - that the goal of the contest should be to encourage results, to improve the encyclopedia, rather than effort.  However, I'd like to add another way of looking at this issue.  I believe that defining "results" as just "pages created" ignores the quality and distinctiveness aspect of Conservapedia.  The reason I came to this site is because it's so unique; where else will you see content written by conservatives for conservatives, like this?  I'm of the mind that our rules, accordingly, should encourage original creation of content far-and-away above copied content.  Please don't construe this conclusion as "sour grapes" due to SSchultz's commanding lead, either - I'm about to do a copy/paste run myself :-).-[[User:MexMax|MexMax]] 20:04, 12 November 2007 (EST)
