Please check the upload log frequently to protect any new images. This will in turn prevent any image vandalism.

(Images are usually not on anyone's watchlist except that of the person who uploaded them, and cannot be reverted if someone replaces the image.<!-- is this correct? -->  This makes protecting images more important than protecting articles or templates, both of which are more easily reverted and/or more likely noticed.)

== Checkuser ==

== Checkuser ==

[[Checkuser]] can trace the originating IP or proxy of vandals and sockpuppets. If the IP address check shows that the IP is being used by two usernames the person is likely a [[Sockpuppets|sockpuppet]] who is using the same computer connection to edit Conservapedia.  The user will be blocked and if a mistake was made the error can be easily undone. Be sure to always act in [[good faith]] and not bite the newbies.

== Oversight ==

== Oversight ==

Oversighters have the ability to permanently remove revisions from view. This is used to hide personally identifiable information that was posted inappropriately. [[Oversight]] can also be used to hide particularly harsh libel or personal attacks, or [[Conservapedia:Inappropriate language|inappropriate language]], such as obsenity. Oversight is a maintenance tool to protect privacy and Conservapedia's family friendly atmosphere, not a weapon to stifle criticism and active discussion.
