== Great work! ==

Thanks so much for helping us revert vandalism![[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 19:11, 3 May 2010 (EDT)
:Thank you. I've been here before, so I know annoying those little flies can be. [[User:JonG|JonG]] 19:12, 3 May 2010 (EDT)

== References/Links ==

Check other articles for the proper formatting that you asked about, Jon.

Generally its the link formatted with [xxxxx] with any comments added at the end, one space between the end of the link, and then all of that enclosed by the ref tag. --<big>[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]</big>/Admin[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]] 19:18, 3 May 2010 (EDT)
:Ahh.. It has changed a little since I've been around. I was used to people putting the <title> content as the ref-link names. ~ [[User_talk:JonG|JonG]] ~ 19:31, 3 May 2010 (EDT)

::Here is the example I forgot to paste in for you:
::<nowiki><ref>[http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2008/04/newark_ex_mayor_sharpe_james_convicted.html Mayor James convicted]</ref></nowiki> {{unsigned|TK}}
:::Yeah. That's exactly how I remember it. I was just in a rush earlier. Sorry. [[User:JonG|~]] [[User_talk:JonG|JonG]] [[User:JonG|~]] 23:13, 3 May 2010 (EDT)

Thank you! Mistakes like this one happens. Only those who write nothing don't make mistakes. Sorry. --[[User:Joaquín Martínez|Joaquín Martínez]] 10:36, 4 May 2010 (EDT)
:They would have to be mute and paralyzed and a zombie as well, because those who do not write can still make mistakes. [[User:JonG|~]] [[User_talk:JonG|JonG]] [[User:JonG|~]] 19:36, 4 May 2010 (EDT)

== Once again, great work! ==

Once again, we're grateful for your work reverting vandals! [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 21:03, 2 June 2010 (EDT)

== Sorry.... ==

But being blunt, without being mean, is exactly what we do here, Jon. Sorry if you were embarrassed (I didn't check to see if the unsigned post was you), but being direct, without weasel words, is what conservatives do. Did you check and see that Phyllis is an admin? Anyway, case closed! --<big>[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]</big>/Admin[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]] 16:18, 9 July 2010 (EDT)
:Are you referring to the place where I pointed out someone's misspelling on a talk page? [[User:PhyllisS|PhyllisS]] 22:52, 9 July 2010 (EDT)
::Yes, yes. TK, I know she's an admin (I'm good friends with her). The question is, what does being an admin have to do with following rules? Ed Poor told me a while back not to point out misspellings on Debate, Talk, and User pages. [[User:JonG|~]] [[User_talk:JonG|JonG]] [[Special:Contributions/JonG|~]] 07:15, 14 July 2010 (EDT)
----
Thanks for letting me know about the apparent parodist. I will let Ashlafly police his talk page for the foreseeable future. As far as RobS, should have let ASchlafly intervene earlier as far as RobS as it would have been a better use of my time. I am moving on and attending to more important matters. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 08:45, 29 July 2011 (EDT)

== I was.... ==

grammatically correct. But never mind.--[[User:Aortuso|Aortuso]] 01:23, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

== Debate:Should Conservapedia develop a clear policy on standards for encyclopaedic and family-friendly content?‎ ==

You may be interested in the debate here: [[Debate:Should Conservapedia develop a clear policy on standards for encyclopaedic and family-friendly content?‎]] --[[User:SamCoulter|SamCoulter]] 02:23, 23 September 2011 (EDT)

== Accounts ==

Did you read what I said on SeanS's talk page? I was blocked for being "sock of Human,", which I am NOT, and given that there is absolutely no way to appeal blocks here using multiple accounts is the only way to regain access. Sorry, but if you want people to stop creating new accounts you need to sort out the blocking system so people can have some hope of redress for unjustified blocks. It's not my fault; it's CP's. --[[User:BernhardtC|BernhardtC]] 10:08, 5 October 2011 (EDT)
:Yes, I read what you said. If they say you're a sock, then they're basing it off of your IP address being shared with a previous user. [[User:JonG|~ ]][[User_talk:JonG|JonG]][[Special:Contributions/JonG| ~]] 10:17, 5 October 2011 (EDT)
::Then they need to have a serious think about their policy, because guess what? Thanks to the wholesale blocking of IP ranges, many people can only access CP through a proxy. Blocks should only be done on the basis of a user's behaviour, not the fact that someone else might have used the same IP address. It almost seems like CP doesn't WANT new editors... --[[User:BernhardtC|BernhardtC]] 10:22, 5 October 2011 (EDT)

User talk:SeanS

2011-10-05T13:13:19Z

BernhardtC: /* First edit? */ new section

<big>HELLO! :D</big>

[[User talk: SeanS/Archive 1|Archive 1]]

=Machismo Article=
I am sorry about that but you should have a look at this article then: [[pride]]. --[[User:ARamis|ARamis]] 22:34, 19 September 2011 (EDT)
:I know what it is and I know what the Sins are, but they aren't biblical. --[[User:SeanS|SeanS]] 22:35, 19 September 2011 (EDT)
::Ok. Are you saying that I should have named the category Machismo and Christianity instead ?--[[User:ARamis|ARamis]] 22:38, 19 September 2011 (EDT)
:::No, its fine. I was removing the 7 deadly sins thing simply because those arent biblical, they are sins, but not "seven deadly"--[[User:SeanS|SeanS]] 22:40, 19 September 2011 (EDT)
::::I'm sorry but I'm confused. What do you mean ? Is it wrong to say that those are biblical or to say that there are deadly ?--[[User:ARamis|ARamis]] 22:44, 19 September 2011 (EDT)
:::::The sins are biblical. but calling them the seven deadly sins isnt. --[[User:SeanS|SeanS]] 22:49, 19 September 2011 (EDT)
::::::Alright, thanks for the update.--[[User:ARamis|ARamis]] 23:00, 19 September 2011 (EDT)

== Earthquakes ==

Can you have a look at the Earthquake article and the discussion about it on the main talk page? There is a claim that severe earthquakes are doubling every 40 years, which just isn't true. DavidZa and I have both demonstrated that the cited source is incorrect, but nobody seems interested and all attempts to fix the error just get instantly reverted. Here is a link to the actual data so that the reference can be checked: [http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/nndc/struts/form?t=101650&s=1&d=1]. --[[User:FindlayT|FindlayT]] 14:24, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

== Wikipedia ==

Sean, we don't copy from Wikipedia. Was your edit comment what you meant to say a few minutes ago?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 13:05, 25 September 2011 (EDT)
:Well, i didn't have anything to put into the article, so i took the basic info about the name, who they are and birth date. better then a blank article at least.--[[User:SeanS|SeanS]] 13:22, 25 September 2011 (EDT)

::The vast internet has better sources than Wikipedia. I'll take a look at the entry.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 13:34, 25 September 2011 (EDT)
:::Probably, but i figured I could trust the information I used. Better then the unrelated vandalism it was created as.--[[User:SeanS|SeanS]] 13:35, 25 September 2011 (EDT)

== Accusation ==

In your edit comment reverting my last change to the election article you insinuated that I am a parodist. This is neither true nor in the spirit of a wiki. I simply reverted an edit made to an article Mr. Schlafly has expressed his contentment with. My personal views are not really in play here (they happen to differ from Mr. Schlafly's on the election), and I am most certainly not a parodist. Out of curiosity, what is your definition of a parodist? [[User:GeraldA|GeraldA]] 19:04, 26 September 2011 (EDT)
:People who come here, making a account and suddenly getting involved in debates they should have no knowledge about, people who say "long time listener, first time caller", amongst other more obvious things. You act like a parodist because your doing the second, if you aren't, I apologize, but you put suspicion on yourself by doing the edit you did.--[[User:SeanS|SeanS]] 19:06, 26 September 2011 (EDT)

== PJ O'Rourke ==

Sorry, I kinda made a mess of creating that page. Thanks for your help. --[[User:LeonardS|LeonardS]] 19:58, 26 September 2011 (EDT)

== Hi there ==

Just checking. You are otherwise known as Mikalos209 right? --[[User:DamianJohn|DamianJohn]] 19:40, 4 October 2011 (EDT)
:yah? why.--[[User:SeanS|SeanS]] 19:41, 4 October 2011 (EDT)
::No reason. Only just worked it out. I'm not the cleverest cat. Carry on. --[[User:DamianJohn|DamianJohn]] 19:44, 4 October 2011 (EDT)

== First edit? ==

Actually it wasn't my first edit: I was continuing a discussion I was having yesterday, before some clown blocked me for being a sock of someone I've never heard of. --[[User:BernhardtC|BernhardtC]] 09:13, 5 October 2011 (EDT)
