Line 1: − '''Linux Article'''+ − Protecting the Linux article may be a bit heavy-handed. I agree with your last edit, but the article still needs some corrections and could use more in-depth information. For example, Linux is 'open source' software, not free software, and the sentence 'Whilst desktop machines still overwhelmingly use [[Windows]] software...' should be 'Whilst desktop machines still overwhelmingly use [[Microsoft]] software...' − --[[User:Brewer13210|Todd]] 14 March 2007 − − I'll open it back up now. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 14:02, 14 March 2007 (EDT) − − − − − − Due to your excellent contributions to Conservapedia, you have been made a SYSOP. With these new privileges, you can block any troublesome users by clicking the block button next to their username. You can also revert vandalism using the method described [[Help talk:Contents|here]]. Please block users guilty of minor vandalism for a short period of time, such as a week or two. Obscenity and Offensive edits are reason for an infinite block without warning. Congratulations on becoming a SYSOP! ~ [[User:SharonS|SharonS]] 20:21, 25 February 2007 (EST) − − Your welcome! ~ [[User:SharonS|SharonS]] 20:43, 25 February 2007 (EST) − − Thanks for the welcome. [[User:Tmtoulouse|Tmtoulouse]] 01:52, 8 March 2007 (EST) − == Explaining reversions == − − When reverting as you did [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Dinosaur&curid=6394&diff=17371&oldid=17364 here], it is generally helpful to explain why you choose to revert. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 17:17, 1 March 2007 (EST) − − I'll do that in the future. The user in question was obviously trying to be snarky, but that's nothing I couldn't have specified. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 17:27, 1 March 2007 (EST) − − : It didn't strike me as snarky. It seemed to me to be highly reasonable especially since there issues when we use the term "creationist" precisely what we mean, whether YEC or some other form. This is discussed briefly at [[creationism]]. Regardless, it doesn't make much sense to say someone was in a category when everyone in their time period was in that category. It would be like labeling Julius Caesar pagan. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 17:32, 1 March 2007 (EST) − − : I would dispute whether everybody was a creationist in 1841, but I don't think this is really worth arguing over, so if you wish to revert it back, feel free. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 17:35, 1 March 2007 (EST) − − == Good entry! == − − Nice entry on Henry David Thoreau! Thanks!--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 15:16, 2 March 2007 (EST) − − − Thanks. I hope to expand on it eventually. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 02:32, 5 March 2007 (EST) − − == Tournament Chess Player == − − That's impressive that you're a tournament chess player! I liked chess but was never very good at it.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 17:24, 6 March 2007 (EST) − − I never actually started taking the game seriously until high school. It just became an addiction for me. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 18:59, 6 March 2007 (EST) − − Wow, you play chess too? What's your rating? Can I have your name to check it out on USCF.org? Good luck- [[User:Meekrok|Meekrok]] − − ==Koronus== − Don't worry I unblocked him to tweak his block. I found an obscene deleted article floating around . He is now blocked for 1 year. [[User:Geo.plrd|Geo.]] 01:05, 7 March 2007 (EST) − − == Edit reverted as vandalism. == − − Regarding [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Unicorn&diff=20130&oldid=20129] it was added by [[User:Conservative]] so I presume it was meant to be serious. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 20:51, 7 March 2007 (EST) − − − I think that at the very least, there shouldn't be a statement that implies that the existence of unicorns is definite. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 20:52, 7 March 2007 (EST) − − ==Staying up Late== − − Does Jesus know you are staying up late on a Friday night standing guard over Conservapedia? Shouldn't you be out attempting to be fruitful and multiply? − − == Delete and block == − − Please delete Mecha Jesus again and block the user in question. Thanks. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 23:57, 9 March 2007 (EST) − − == Cheesy potatoes == − − I think it was a little trigger-happy of you to delete the article without saying anything in the discussion taking place at [[Talk:Cheesy potatoes]]. It's not too late to discuss it there now. I'm not suggesting you undelete it, but I think the creator of the article should be given a chance to explain. − − Entirely guesswork on my part, but I think it was a good-faith if frivolous contribution by a youngish person. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 13:19, 10 March 2007 (EST) − − P. P. S. At Wikipedia I don't believe this would have been a valid "speedy deletion" (one performed by a sysop without discussion). [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 13:21, 10 March 2007 (EST) − − == Making conservatives look bad? == − − How am i making conservatives look bad? Scooter Libby is a pariah although liberals don't want to admit it... I thought this site was about the truth--[[User:PatRobertson2008|PatRobertson2008]] 20:30, 10 March 2007 (EST) − − == The liberal media's already beating up on Gingrich! == − − Poor guy! They were making him look bad in 1995 and it's back again! We need to have his reponse here! I don't want a closet liberal like Giuilani or Mitt Romney to become president!--[[User:PatRobertson2008|PatRobertson2008]] 20:33, 10 March 2007 (EST) − − You'd rather have an admitted adulterer and hypocrite? --[[User:Sandbagger|Sandbagger]] 15:03, 11 March 2007 (EDT) − − What are you trying to say? − And I've never endorsed any political candidate on Conservapedia. I am only trying to remove obvious vandalism. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 15:04, 11 March 2007 (EDT) − − == Good block and revert == − − Excellent block and rollback, and locking of the Bush page. Very well done! As you did, when it is an obscenity then simply put on an infinite block. We don't want that block ever expiring. Thanks!--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 20:42, 10 March 2007 (EST) − − P.S. You're absolutely right about being suspicious based on the user id (or screen name). It's amazing how 95% of the time the user id is an obvious giveaway to the bad intentions.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 20:45, 10 March 2007 (EST) − − Great move in protecting [[Ann Coulter]]. Thanks!--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 15:10, 11 March 2007 (EDT) − − == why did you block me? == − − The first line of that article was entirely evolutionist, I was adding the American view. --[[User:Joseph84|Joseph84]] 19:33, 11 March 2007 (EDT) − − I didn't block you. Your entry was clearly sarcastic. I only warned you. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 19:35, 11 March 2007 (EDT) − − == "Sex" page == − − I just made a pretty little table on the page, and then protected it from editing. So the page does exist, but without any content but the table. --[[User:Hojimachong|Hojimachong]] 19:47, 11 March 2007 (EDT) − − == Not Sure == − − I'm not quite sure. Ask Andrew, he should know. --<font color="#0000CC" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Hojimachong|'''Hojimachong''']]</font><sup><font color="00FFAA">[[User_Talk:Hojimachong|talk]]</font></sup> 22:41, 11 March 2007 (EDT) − − :It seems as though you've figured it out. How do you do it? --<font color="#0000CC" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Hojimachong|'''Hojimachong''']]</font><sup><font color="00FFAA">[[User_Talk:Hojimachong|talk]]</font></sup> 22:46, 11 March 2007 (EDT) − − == Facebook == − − Could you send me a Facebook invite? The Email this User link is active for me. Thanks, --<font color="#0000CC" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Hojimachong|'''Hojimachong''']]</font><sup><font color="00FFAA">[[User_Talk:Hojimachong|talk]]</font></sup> 00:11, 12 March 2007 (EDT) − − I can't get the link to work. However, you don't have to have an invite to register. I can send you the link to that actual page within the site if you register. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 00:29, 12 March 2007 (EDT) − − OK, thanks for the info. --<font color="#0000CC" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Hojimachong|'''Hojimachong''']]</font><sup><font color="00FFAA">[[User_Talk:Hojimachong|talk]]</font></sup> 00:34, 12 March 2007 (EDT) − − − == Bad Editing == − − ---- − − Look, I didn't delete everything written before as you allege. Compare the two and you'll see that. All of the previous contributions are there, minus grammar errors and POV stuff. Maybe you should read a little more before you jump to conclusions.... [[User:Romney4King|Romney4King]] − − There are some differences, but they aren't as substantial as I thought at first, and I do see that your edits produce a well written article, so I'm going to leave it. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 15:14, 12 March 2007 (EDT) − − − == Multiple reversions without explanation == − − User Ank mangled my contribution, which was factual. Then you go ahead and revert both his mangling of it while deleting my contribution all together. That's not fair. --[[User:Bturpin|Ben]] 15:27, 12 March 2007 (EDT) − − I reverted everything he did because he vandalized about 15 pages and I couldn't look at all of them while keeping up with the current wave of vandalism. Feel free to re-incorporate your edits. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 15:28, 12 March 2007 (EDT) − − == You're the one being biased. == − − "Fair trade" is what the liberals use to cover up the stigma of the protectionism. − − == British English == − − I don't understand how British spelling is inherently biased whereas American spelling isn't. Perhaps you'd care to explain this. [[User:PraiseTheLard|PraiseTheLard]] 17:54, 12 March 2007 (EDT) − − == President of the United States == − − Hi, I was just adding some details to this article, which you deleted. Don't you think there should be a bit more detail here? It just seems to me that, if this is to be an encyclopedia, it ought to have a more detailed account of how something like the Electoral College works. − − [[User:Boethius|Boethius]] 17:59, 12 March 2007 (EDT) − − − We both know the general goal of your inclusion of those statements, which is to imply that Bush's election was illegitimate. As this is a Conservative encyclopedia, we don't generally want half of the article of the Electoral College serving as a vehicle for these claims. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 18:01, 12 March 2007 (EDT) − − − ::Actually, I was trying to revise the article so that it would *not* imply that Bush was not properly elected -- it had been vandalized before I started editing it, and had statements in it about how Bush thinks he is a king. Look at the version just before the ones I edited and you will see that I was taking that kind of stuff *out*, not putting it in!! − − [[User:Boethius|Boethius]] 18:06, 12 March 2007 (EDT) − − :Proceed ahead then. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 18:06, 12 March 2007 (EDT) − − == Pi == − − Why did you revert my post. Please tell me where I misrepresented the Bible. Everything I added was properly cited and true. Can you prove to me that Kings 7:23 doesn't say Pi is 3? Isn't this a conservative and Christian encyclopedia? Thanks- [[User:Meekrok|Meekrok]] − − Come on, we both know you're being sarcastic here. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 19:01, 12 March 2007 (EDT) − − I may have overreacted, but the page should at least mention the bible says pi is three. Censorship of the bible is definitely not what Conservapedia is about. [[User:Meekrok|Meekrok]] − − As long as I can cite a Christian response to the claim (that holds to a 3.14.... value). [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 19:06, 12 March 2007 (EDT) − − == Thanks == − − Thanks for dealing with that, MountainDew. I don't like it when people swear at me or on productive content. − − I hope to keep doing good to this site! − − In Him, --[[User:Galaxy001|Zach]]<sup>[[User talk:Galaxy001|send me a message]]</sup> 02:14, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − Thanks for calling my attention to that! There's a lot of people who want to hurt this site and we need to do all we can to combat it. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 02:14, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − ==Reverting Pages== − How do you quickly revert pages without having to manually fix all the changes? [[User:ColinR|ColinR]] 05:12, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − If you're a sysop, you go to recent changes, and click on "hist", then click the "revert" button. If you're not, click "hist" then the date and time of the entry which you want to edit, then click "edit", and save. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 05:13, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − ==Vandals== − − Has it been like this all day? I was having to deal with this for 4 hours this morning.[[User:NSmyth|NSmyth]]18:17, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − Yep. I don't even have time to write articles anymore. I'm spending all my time dealing with this. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 18:18, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − :Let's block more quickly, and lock more pages that are repeated targets of vandalism.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 18:36, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − == Bob Dylan == − − Just saw your changes to [[Bob Dylan]]. While it's true he has not recorded an explicitly Christian-themed album for some years, he continues to perform the songs of this era, such as "Saved" and "In the Garden", and as far I am aware his faith has not changed or diminished during these years; indeed there is considerable evidence to the contrary; see: − − http://web.utk.edu/~wparr/IsDylanStillChr.html − − which has a number of direct quotes, including a recent concert at which Dylan dedicated "In the Garden" to his hero, Jesus Christ. − − I don't want to get into a debate, but I think you will find this stuff reasonably solid and compelling -- if you do, would you please revert the change you made? − − many thanks, − − [[User:Boethius|Boethius]] 18:22, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − Feel free to revert it. You seem to know more about Dylan than I do. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 18:23, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − ==Thanks== − − Thanks for taking care of those articles I flagged.--[[User:Elamdri|Elamdri]] 18:31, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − == Blocking and locking (protecting) == − − MountainDew, please feel free to block more quickly, and to lock ("protect") pages that you find yourself repeatedly reverting. Thanks.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 18:35, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − − MountainDew, do you recall the name of the other conservative college student? Should we make him a SYSOP? Can you recommend others for SYSOP status? The person needs only be responsible and we are not limiting this to conservatives. I just made Elamdri a SYSOP. Thanks.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 18:56, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − I think you may be thinking of Daniel B. Douglas, who seemed trustworthy but who joined several days ago and hasn't come back. You might also be thinking of ColinR, who was a big help for me during a wave of vandalism last night. I think he would probably make a good SYSOP. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 18:59, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − − − I understand why you blocked the "Kangaroo" page. But could you fix the last paragraph so the scientific and religious explanations aren't co-mingled? It reads funny. Thanks. --[[User:Dave3172|Dave3172]] 19:01, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − ==AwaitingTheRapture== − − Did we get everything?--[[User:Elamdri|Elamdri]] 21:26, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − I think so. I think the Conservapedia:Abuse was the last one that didn't say "rollback" by his name. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 21:26, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − Salright!--[[User:Elamdri|Elamdri]] 21:39, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − I'm still new to this and I'm not sure exactly how the page moves work. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 21:39, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − Me too. Basically, I move the page, and one I move the page, I go to the offensive redirect page and delete it. That way there is no redirect page.--[[User:Elamdri|Elamdri]] 21:41, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − == Spoof text on [[Family Friendly]] == − − Hi, just a note to let you know that some spoofed or vandalistic text has been created at [[Family Friendly]]; this should be removed/changed and the user informed. − − [[User:Boethius|Boethius]] 22:07, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − Wow! [[User:Hojimachong]] caught that already! talk about fast. − − [[User:Boethius|Boethius]] 22:08, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − == Page Move Vandalism == − − This is a serious problem; how should we go about dealing with the page-move vandals (I assume the latest three were all the same person), and how do we get the IP from the server? Conservapedia's ban-hammer needs to turn into something more like a "ban-nuke" --<font color="#0000CC" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Hojimachong|'''Hojimachong''']]</font><sup><font color="00FFAA">[[User_Talk:Hojimachong|talk]]</font></sup> 22:20, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − :Same guy too. We need to ban his IP quick. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 23:01, 13 March 2007 (EDT) − − == Thanks, Suggestion == − − MountainDew, thanks for all your blocks and cleaning up of the obscenity. Liberals are great, aren't they? We're starting to track IP addresses to report these vandals and I've posted the jail time imposed by federal law for such obscenity, so they should decline. Also, I've created more SYSOPs to help. − − One little tip. When you delete an obscene entry, you might erase the message box on the reason for deletion before confirming the deletion, so that all that filth does not show up on the Recent Changes page. Otherwise the first part of the content shows up there. Thanks again.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 00:35, 14 March 2007 (EDT) − − == Terrorism == − − What was wrong with my edit to [[terrorism]]? I know Madonna thinks the IRA wasn't a terrorist group, but the UK Government disagreed. − − == Thanks for the opportunity to edit a bit == − − Thanks for the opportunity to add to "Christianity!" What a blessing! I just did a bit to get it going, just off the cuff. You might want to "close" it up as you had done before! There's always alot that can be added, but it needs to be true and accurate. − − There is no greater ministry this Conservapedia can do than this!! I'm so excited for you!! Maintaining the truth of the Bible, the truth about Jesus Christ and what He has done for the world, is going to be challenged by Satan's minions the rest of our lives here. We will always have this battle. We fight our sinful flesh and our fellow Christians' sinful flesh, and the enemy. We have to make sure that what we write corresponds to what is God's written Word in Scripture. and His offer that whoesoever hungers or is thirsty, can come to Him for living water and the Bread of Life. − − May the Lord bring souls to knowledge of Him through Conservapedia! May the Lord provide for the finances needed, the administration needed, so that truth can prevail. May there be no fighting amongst true Christians, but let real Christianity shine forth, the Word of God proclaimed. May the Enemy be put to flight, and my hungry hearts and open ears and minds read the words God places here, and be fed by Him. We ask this in Jesus' precious name, Amen!! − − − == Iraq War == − − I think you need to revert a couple of versions back. To the one where the Second Gulf War note was added. Affirmlife did heavy editing of items that were properly sourced--[[User:Dave3172|Dave3172]] 13:22, 14 March 2007 (EDT) − − == Great Wall == − − Just changed the name of it... it's still there. I kept the one with the picture. Sorry for the confusion! − − − Ahhh... gotcha. Thanks. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 15:48, 14 March 2007 (EDT) − − − == Vandals and Preachers in Christianity == − Last night there was a lot of activity in the Christianity section. Someone replaced the entry by a very opinionated sermon which denounced many Christian denominations other than the author's. On top of this there were a fair amount of vandals active that replaced the entire bit by obscenities. It might be an idea to lock it up again. And maybe warn the vandals. --[[User:Order|Order]] 15 March:00 (AEST) − − − ==Vandals messing up fox news and many of my edits== − MountainDew, − − First of all, I want to thank you for your excellent diaries. Second, I need help. I found out about the site a few days ago, and I started contributing. But Vandals are including obscenities in the Fox News entry, and some one deleted facts from another entry that I made. − − What should I do? − − Thanks in advance, − --[[User:Octaviohpaz|Octaviohpaz]] 14:24, 15 March 2007 (EDT) − − − Thanks, for the answer. I only raise the issue because I fixed it yesterday, and today it was changed again. But I think that you can decide that, and I will back you up. Thanks again.--[[User:Octaviohpaz|Octaviohpaz]] 14:42, 15 March 2007 (EDT) − − ==AmesG== − − Thank you. --[[User:Dave3172|Dave3172]] 16:45, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
