→JimmyB and the Fact Tags
(My new band name?) I think the tag was needed, as the statement is in clear violation of the [[conservapedia:guidelines|CP:G]] (attribution) and [[conservapedia:commandments|CP:C]] (always cite sources). Whether or not he was trolling is disputable, but the result of his edit was correct. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 16:30, 23 January 2008 (EST) PS: Like the new acronyms? I'm hoping they'll catch on so I can save some typing. I cite CP:G quite often ;-)

:Some facts are indisputable - that's been CP's policy for as long as I can remember. Note that the rule your referring to is not always cite sources, but always cite your sources - which is slightly different (always cite your sources is more of, if you have sources, cite them). The acronyms aren't bad at all :D (and don't worry, my block of JimmyB was for multiple reasons)--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 16:33, 23 January 2008 (EST)

::I'm sure the block was reasonable, but I dispute... actually I just reread it, and as the article stands it ''technically'' doesn't need any sources. (It also ''technically'' doesn't say much of anything.) Someone edited it after me and added another wishy-word (and I added some of my own) such that the article now satisfies CP:G, and since there are no sources, there's nothing to cite. Continue on...
