Changes

In line with Mr. Schlafly's thinking I agree that these should be simple, i.e. there should only be a few awards each month otherwise they lose their value. I suppose "service levels" would depend on the accumulation of points over a period. Also I don't think it is a good idea to name the awards after people who are not Conservapedians as we do not have the rights to their name. They should just be called the Conservapedia awards. I don't wish to spend too much effort on this just at the moment as I am involved with a lot of activities for our church at this time - (carol services as well as organising the cooking and delivery of meals to the elderly and poor of our parish on Christmas day). So I would like to see more discussions and a clear idea of a workable system. I may not actually be doing much but I will think a bout it a lot. Perhaps we could launch them in January when everthing has been hashed out? --[[User:BrianCo|BrianCo]] 16:28, 14 December 2008 (EST)

:::I don't agree with you about the awards not being named after people in some cases.  I do think that when names are used they should be used to honor historical figures and not contemporary figures. [[User:Conservative|conservative]] 16:46, 14 December 2008 (EST)

::::Well I guess that was what I really meant; that we should exclude living people. Even so, we should consider with what authority we make use of someone else's name. [[User:BrianCo|BrianCo]] 17:17, 14 December 2008 (EST)

::::::I do realize that it is courteous to have a living person agree to have their name used for an award.  I thought having a historical person be used for an award would streamline the process of using a name based award in certain cases.  However, I have rethought my position,  as long as we have the person's permission, I see nothing wrong with using the person's name.  I may contact Mr. Gish as far as a Duane Gish award (see: http://www.conservapedia.com/User_talk:Aschlafly#In_2009_have_monthly_Duane_Gish_awards ), but if I cannot get reach him, I think we should use Henry Morris instead.
