Changes

: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)
