<Big>'''My Editing Philosophy'''</big>
  −
*Noncontroversial edits are ''usually'' ok
  −
*I will always follow the [[Conservapedia:Guidelines|Guidelines]] and [[Conservapedia:Commandments|Commandments]]
  −
*I won't change work from the editors who are never wrong, unless I really, really, really know what I am doing
  −
*I won't edit or comment on essay pages; they are supposed to be opinion
  −
*I will point out and correct when an article is unencyclopedic, but will back down when defending my action is futile
  −
*I will point out and correct when an article does not follow the [[Conservapedia:Guidelines|Guidelines]] or [[Conservapedia:Commandments|Commandments]], but will back down when defending my action is futile
  −
*I will not treat someone's work differently because of their "status"; this is a community project
  −
*I will not revert anything added to a talk page, unless a user swears or edits another user's words
  −
*There is no official block policy, so I will use my own judgement for blocking people
  −
*I will never block someone for being non-conservative (for starters, I would have to block myself)
  −
*I will never block someone for expressing their opinion, as long as it is civil
  −
*I will never block someone for violating the [[90/10 rule]]
  −
*I will never block someone who has had no edits, unless their name is offensive or inflamatory
  −
*I will never block someone for being a sock unless I am 110% sure (as I have had bad experiences with this in the past, and as I have no checkuser powahs)
  −
*I will never block someone for referring to or showing up on That Which Shall Not Be Named (and no, I can't tell you what it is, and no, I can not give you any hints)
  −
*If a block is properly given, then no apology should ever be needed as an unblocking condition
  −
*I will not unblock myself if blocked by a sysop

Some who think they are more rational than me may say that I'm a wimp for backing down. I say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a new result.

**I'm currently undecided as to whom I will vote for, but I will never vote for [[Obama]], [[Nader]], any [[Green Party]] candidate, or any [[left-wing]] candidates  (aka Socialist party and those other wingnuts). The only wingnut I might vote for is [[Bob Barr]], but from what little I know about him, he's kind of a "blah" candidate.

#Noncontroversial edits are ''usually'' ok
 +
#I will always follow the [[Conservapedia:Guidelines|Guidelines]] and [[Conservapedia:Commandments|Commandments]] (G&C)
 +
#I will attempt to make all articles follow the G&C, and encourage other editors to do likewise
 +
#Essay pages are opinion
 +
#Mainspace pages are fact
 +
#''No [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User:Aziraphale/Tilting_at_Windmills&oldid=296120 tilting at windmills]!

#I will not treat someone's work differently because of their "status"; this is a community project

<big>'''Pet Peeves'''</big>
 +
(In no particular order)
 +
#Plagiarism is the use of another's words as one's own without giving proper credit. This is true even if you "paid for it" and have permission to use it
 +
#Selected examples do ''not'' prove a trend. If you want to show that "most people do X" by example, you can never prove your point with examples
 +
#Don't use "literally" if you mean "figuratively". Don't use "literally" if there's no figurative way to take what you say.
 +
#Improper use of political lables. "Conservative" may, in most cases, be the opposite of "liberal", but there are numerous other ideologies which don't line up on a 1-dimentional scale!
 +
#Improper use of numbers! (P(BC|Ab)>P(BC|P) does not imply that P(BC|Ab)>P(BC)!!)
 +
#"Ironic" means that something happened opposite to what you expect to happen. A woman getting hit and killed by a sugar truck is sad. A diabetic woman getting hit and killed by a sugar truck is coincidence. A diabetic woman getting hit and killed by an ''insulin'' truck is ironic.
 +
#Finding "please add more" on a wiki page. For one, lists rarely make a good article (and often contribute to pet peeve #2); additionally, all wikis are works in progress, so there's always an implied assumption to add more to an article.
 +
#More to come <!-- now *that* is ironic humor -->
