I am a student at a normal university, who is trying to make my seemingly lone voice heard (suicide works), and to just help out. This is probably not the mean of website where a devout liberal would come, but if any curious liberals come by, I would like them to see a well structured, full wiki of what we believe and why (see Wikipedia). I would also like to see Conservapedia expand more into non-political and Christian topics, so it may be used for every-day research as well as research on conservative topics. Let's see if we can beat Wikipedia!

As a young, unemployed 18 year old student, my free time is unlimited. I may have hours every day to spend here, or no time at all. I may vanish for weeks or even months at a time. I will try to remember to place a notice on my page when this is going to happen, but may not always do so. If I am not active and not responding to posts on my talk page, fell free to e-mail me.

Questions? Comments? E-mail me at: ''david_b4 [at] archnet.us''

==Messages from This user==

===Assistant SysOp===
As I am now an "emergency SysOp" on Conservapedia, I will do what I can to help protect CP content and users, and carry out whatever other tasks come my way. If you see a problem you want help with, feel free to message or e-mail me! Some people seem to fear moderators and admins, but please don't (unless you have good reason to)! I am not a generally irascible person, so please don't hesitate to question, undo, or change (with good reason) anything I've done. I make mistakes all the time, and it's not uncommon for them to be more than typos. I sometimes proof-read and fact-check my own articles (again) a few weeks after I make them, but even then I miss things. Please do not hesitate to either directly correct mistakes I make or inform me about them!

===Collaboration===
I'm happy to collaborate on creating almost any article. In fact, I sometimes find myself looking in vain for something to write. If you would like to write an article together, let me know!

===Hosting===
I am in charge of a small web service which among other things, offers free hosting to "good causes." If you have any ideas you want space for, or thoughts on who might, feel free to comment on my Talk page or e-mail me. This includes web space for images to submit for upload to CP.

== Thanks ==

Thanks for creating the [[Ubuntu Christian Edition]] article. I believe I am going to install that on a computer. I also think I am going to install [[Xiphos]] on a computer.

In addition, I may try out [[CometBird]]. A quick suggestion: When you create articles like this, I would put in the software's greatest strengths and weaknesses. It seems to me the greatest strength of CometBird is its greater speed than Firefox. Here is a cool browser you may like by the way: [https://www.comodo.com/home/browsers-toolbars/icedragon-browser.php Comodo IceDragon]. I rarely use Firefox now. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 08:52, 26 February 2016 (EST)

:You're welcome, and thanks for letting me know! I'm glad those pages were a little helpful! You're right--having the Pros and Cons is a good idea. Honestly, I don't know enough about some software to do that, but I'll see what I can do. The main problem I foresee in trying to list Pros and Cons is that those are somewhat subjecting, and can vary. For example, [[Opera]] had what I thought was a great browser for a while (since then, they switched to the Chromium engine) but some thought it was terrible. What works well for one person, doesn't always work the same way for another. None the less, I'll see what I can do. Perhaps looking up a number of other reviews for the software would be advantageous. Anyway, I'm rambling a bit. I'll see if I can start adding those sections to at least some of the pages. Thanks for the suggestion!
: I think I might have heard of Comodo IceDragon before, but I'm not sure. I'll definitely add it to my list and see what I can do. Thanks for that suggestion as well! --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) XX:xx, 26 February 2016 (EST)

::I've made a very simple page for [[Comodo IceDragon]]. I don't know much about it, but I'll try it a bit more in depth if I can and try to expand the page somewhat. As always, feel free to add/edit/remove if you want.--[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) XX:xx, 26 February 2016 (EST)

== Vandal ==

A vandal on the loose. [http://www.conservapedia.com/Special:Contributions/Benkumar] [[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 17:02, 27 February 2016 (EST)
::He, Rahulbrown, and Josephkocher might also be one and the same person. [[User:U.U|U.U]] ([[User talk:U.U|talk]]) XX:xx, 27 February 2016 (EST)

:::Thanks for the info--I guess I'm too late though. I'll try to keep an eye on Rahulbrown, but he/she doesn't seem to have done anything yet, so I can't just ban 'em I don't think. Thanks for the info! --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) XX:xx, 27 February 2016 (EST) (David B)
::::Rahulbrown has been blocked now, but the user I just told you of seems to have vanished instead of being blocked. I wonder why.[[User:U.U|U.U]] ([[User talk:U.U|talk]]) 19:46, 29 February 2016 (EST)
It could be that he gave up, but I'd sooner suspect that he had multiple accounts. Another one was banned, and with it his IP address. Now he can't log in to any other accounts, so he's gone even though the others are still open. It's just speculation, of course, but that's what I suspect.--[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 20:53, 29 February 2016 (EST)

==Archive==
Just F.Y.I., I've created an "archive" to hopefully fix or at least move the problem of signatures not being placed, and section edits not working properly. --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 17:02, 27 February 2016 (EST)
==Banks thanks==
Thank you for your edits. One editor seems to have left a trail of red links and I appreciate you pipe-ing them to their correct target. [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 10:38, 2 March 2016 (EST)

:You're welcome! Yes, some people do that a lot. I can understand when a wiki first starts out, that this can be a good idea. By now, however, that really should be avoided--especially when the page desired already exists under another name. 

:You seem to be doing a great job of both writing and editing--thanks! --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 12:29, 2 March 2016 (EST)

::I must admit, though, that I still sometimes do this when there is a page I ''really'' think should be made. If no one else does it, though, I usually plan to go back and make these myself. --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 14:40, 2 March 2016 (EST)

:No problem--I've uploaded both: [http://www.conservapedia.com/File:James_Brady_1986.jpg James Brady] and [http://www.conservapedia.com/File:Neil_Cavuto.jpg Neil Cavuto]. I certainly don't mind personal requests, but just in case you don't know, Conservapedia does have an image upload request page [http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:Image_upload_requests here].

== re: abortion and evolution article ==

Please feel free to completely revise or partially revise the [[Abortion and evolution]] article. I restored the article so now it's up to you to make it a encyclopedic article. I didn't have a chance to review the article and I am leaving that up to you along with any changes to the article.

:::::I see what you mean. On the image page it says "Note: Due to technical limitations, thumbnails of high resolution GIF images such as this one will not be animated."

==Categories==
Thank you for your work on category clean up. If you put an article in a subcategory, it should not also go in the category. So, articles in [[:Category:United States Law]] should not be placed into [[:Category:Law]] or [[:Category:Laws]]. A user who did not understand the tree-structure of categories added a lot of category tags in 2014-2015 that messed everything up. A category should not be a subcategory of itself. Also, if categories A B and C are subcategories of category X. Then do not create a circle by placing X as a subcategory of A B and C. Thanks, [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 13:50, 31 March 2016 (EDT)
:I'm glad to do what I can, though perhaps I'm getting lazy...categories are easier than writing.
:I thought I'd read this somewhere, but I wasn't absolutely sure, so it's good to know. I've been doing a sort of mass-audit of categories, so it's a little hard for me to check where every category is in the tree, but I'll try to keep an eye out for this kind of issue. Thanks for the info! I have been finding some oddities, like Amazon.com being a subcategory of commerce, but commerce also being a subcategory of Amazon.com. On the one hand, I think "Why did people miss this?!?" but on the other hand, a wiki a a big place, and we don't have as many active editors as WP. I can't fix it all, but if I can straighten out some of it, maybe that will help. In the mean time, sorry to everyone who watched the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes page]] for the edit flood! --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 14:17, 31 March 2016 (EDT)
::As I recall, either you or JDano created a little page of guidelines for categories. As a subpage of your user page or talk page. I can't find it now, perhaps because of all the changes you made, that cluttered up RC, for which you apologized above. I forgive you of course, but can you tell me where it is? I have some comments I'd like to add. I want to create a link to it on my own page. I think that page can become a generally useful tool.

:::JDano Made that, and it's located here: [[User:JDano/TARlist]]. We're glad to have you back! :) --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 13:54, 2 April 2016 (EDT)
::::Thanks. This is of vastly more general importance then just TAR. It looks like useful editing guidelines in general. I'm going to see what I can do about moving it (or its non-TAR-specific content) to a more general place.
::::I actually have a specific issue with the "only in the lowest-level category" rule. I came a cross an exception a while back. I'll bring it up as soon as I catch my breath. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] ([[User talk:SamHB|talk]]) 14:04, 2 April 2016 (EDT)
:::::Good idea--I agree, TAR is one contributor, but not the only. General cleanup is a good idea along the same lines throughout CP.

Dear DavidB4, while I appreciate the time you took in writing [[Gun nut]], it completely duplicates the existing [[Gun enthusiast]] page. Could we possibly merge the two and then have a redirect from Gun nut to Gun enthusiast? Thanks, [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 16:07, 6 April 2016 (EDT)
:Yes indeed we could. I should have done more looking before I wrote. I'll see what I can do, but if you get there first, feel free to merge them your self. Thanks for pointing this out! --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 17:55, 6 April 2016 (EDT)

===Assistant SysOp===
As I am now an "emergency SysOp" on Conservapedia, I will do what I can to help protect CP content and users, and carry out whatever other tasks come my way. If you see a problem you want help with, feel free to message or e-mail me! Some people seem to fear moderators and admins, but please don't (unless you have good reason to)! I am not a generally irascible person, so please don't hesitate to question, undo, or change (with good reason) anything I've done. I make mistakes all the time, and it's not uncommon for them to be more than typos. I sometimes proof-read and fact-check my own articles (again) a few weeks after I make them, but even then I miss things. Please do not hesitate to either directly correct mistakes I make or inform me about them!

===Collaboration===
I'm happy to collaborate on creating almost any article. In fact, I sometimes find myself looking in vain for something to write. If you would like to write an article together, let me know!

===Hosting===
I am in charge of a small web service which among other things, offers free hosting to "good causes." If you have any ideas you want space for, or thoughts on who might, feel free to comment on my Talk page or e-mail me. This includes web space for images to submit for upload to CP.

== Re: Personal attacks ==

I have sometimes made personal attacks out of anger on a few other sites, only to regret it later. I do know that anger is not an excuse for making personal attacks. I will do my best to behave better in the future. :) Thanks. [[User:Marcus2|Marcus2]] 17:36, 17 May 2012 (EDT)

==New Main Page==

Looks interesting. Where are you going with this? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] [[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]] 14:09, 12 June 2012 (EDT)

:I'm hoping to redesign the mainpage so that Conservapedia content is more prominently featured, as opposed to links to external sites (which are useful, but should be given lesser prominence than articles on this site). Additionally, the new divisions should make it less likely that an item is placed in the wrong location (such as in MPR). Also, I am learning CSS along the way, so that's a plus, too. I must admit, though, that I'm not that good of an artist, so the page is open for tweaking (and possibly insertion of images) by those with a more artistic eye. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 14:13, 12 June 2012 (EDT)

Great. Let me know when you need help. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] [[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]] 14:55, 12 June 2012 (EDT)
:Thanks for the offer. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 14:58, 12 June 2012 (EDT)

I got your message in my talk page message area. Thanks. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 10:15, 26 June 2012 (EDT)

== How is the complaint going? ==

Any resolution?
:Last I heard, Mr. Schlafly was looking at it. I understand he is very busy, though, so I'm not holding my breath. Thanks for asking.
:If you have anything you want to add, you can leave it on the complaint's talk page. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 12:54, 6 July 2012 (EDT)

== Sin ==
I had to crack open the book on Catholicism to make sure the venial sins edit was accurate. It seems that you are right and I was wrong. Good catch.--[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 22:54, 9 July 2012 (EDT)
:No problem. Thanks for confirming that. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 23:20, 9 July 2012 (EDT)

==Sticking to the point==

Best to leave personal remarks entirely out:

* your position appears to be groundless

* This doesn't mean that you are a bad editor

Just say where you disagree and why. I've been known to make mistakes before. Why, just last month I made one. :-)

That was the "personal" part of your comment. Try to avoid this sort of thing in the future. Thanks. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] [[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]] 16:39, 13 July 2012 (EDT)
:The underlined part of the second comment is being taken completely out of context, as can be seen by the rest of the phrase you quoted. Thanks for your explanation, though. I want to put this behind me so we can get to working on building an encyclopedia. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 17:17, 13 July 2012 (EDT)
:'''EDITED TO ADD''' The first comment is not a personal attack. Saying that one's position is "groundless" does not say anything about the person. As a mathematician, I have made stupid statements from time to time. Identifying positions without basis as such is not a personal attack.
:Also, I want to point out that none of the "personal remarks" you mentioned above were in my original response that [http://conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Aschlafly&diff=993311&oldid=993310 you removed as personal comments]. The comments you point out above were part of my explanation for why I restored my original comments. Of course, if you have any other comments that you think were personal, feel free to point them out so I know what to avoid in the future. I know that you've pointed out a comment I made to Mr. Schlafly that was, in hindsight, ill-advised, and I retracted it immediately, thanks to your help.
:Anyways, let's get back to work on the encyclopedia. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 17:29, 13 July 2012 (EDT)

::Sorry if my conception of personal remarks is excessively strict. I might be overreacting, but a lot of other users seem to have declared open season on the established users. Let's keep everything about the project and the articles, and avoid any "you statements". --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] [[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]] 17:55, 13 July 2012 (EDT)

== Good correction ==

Good correction to a typo in the [[30-mile rule]] entry. Thanks.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:03, 14 July 2012 (EDT)

==Indo-European==

::::Greg; I do not want [[Indo-European]] redirected. I want it to be a blank slate,. (Tabula rasa.) As said on the talk page, I want it to be used for an article on the history, culture etc. of this group of peoples. What you have done means that every time someone tries to link this term to the Hittites, Iran, the Indus Valley Civilization (I've already had to type "Indo-Aryan" to avoid this) and an unknown number of other subjects, they come automatically to the language. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 00:38, 15 July 2012 (EDT)

==Quotes==
Thanks for you follow-up on the quotes today. I often forget these important details. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] [[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]] 16:34, 17 August 2012 (EDT)
==RSS Feed==
I also added to the Todd Akin page, the Talk:Todd Akin page and created a new page [[Council for National Policy]] it all disappeared. If you have anything that would help back it up please let me know. Thanks, [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 22:00, 25 August 2012 (EDT)

Tony Sidaways' blog: http://lambdadelta.wordpress.com/

An excerpt from Tony Sidaway's blog: "That in the age of polarized politics a godless homosexualist liberal like me..."[http://lambdadelta.wordpress.com/2009/01/28/confessions-of-an-accidental-conservapedian/]

I hope this partially clears up a misunderstanding. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 21:05, 8 September 2012 (EDT)
:Thanks for the clarification. It was edits like [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=1004968 this] and [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=1002719 this] that I was referring to. And certainly, if a public figure has openly stated a moral fault of theirs (like Dawkins and atheism), I don't see a problem. Thanks for taking into consideration what I had to say. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 21:26, 8 September 2012 (EDT)
:::Up until recently, I used to say, "Are you an atheist? If so, what proof and evidence that atheism is true." One of the reasons for that is that atheism is a stealth religion which has no proof and evidence supporting it. [http://www.wnd.com/2010/09/207581/][http://www.intelligentdesignnetwork.org/Atheism_a_Stealth_Religion.pdf] I did this because some atheist gentlemen from a wiki which is not notable enough to have a Wikipedia entry often post to main page talk before they are shut down by the 90/10 rule. They seem [[Essay: Severe Conservapedia obsessive compulsive disorder|obsessed with Conservapedia]] and myself and engage in endless rumination and speculation about me and other Conservapedians in between proclaiming that the end of Conservapedia is nigh.

== Please don't revert Sysops comments, throw policy in their faces, or argue ==

It's counterproductive. Take a chill pill and RELAX. --[[User:JamesWilson|James Wilson]] 08:48, 15 September 2012 (EDT)

== Look, I'm just a new guy.... ==

But I think that [http://conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&curid=113357&diff=1008287&oldid=1008285 reverting a post by somebody who's been here since day one] is pretty much frowned upon. It's a big website. Edit the stuff that interests you, ignore the stuff that bothers you. [[User:MattyD|MattyD]] 18:39, 22 September 2012 (EDT)
:Thank you for your feedback. I must say that I do take removing others' posts seriously. I will take your advice though about editing other articles (I might get to work proofing the 4th government lecture and finally creating an article on ''Concepcion''). [[User:GregG|GregG]] 20:00, 22 September 2012 (EDT)
::Just can it, already. Work on substantive articles, and leave User:Conservative ''the heck alone''. You're trolling ''conservative'' by removing those comments.--[[User:JamesWilson|James Wilson]] 07:37, 23 September 2012 (EDT)
==Crammo==
He somehow edited and locked pages [[User:Wschact]] and [[User:Cmurphynz]]. Can you fix them? Thanks, [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 08:45, 18 October 2012 (EDT)
:I don't have page protect/unprotect privileges, so I can't help you with that. Sorry. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 08:46, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

:Thank you for your support. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 11:40, 22 November 2012 (EST)

== Probability ==

I saw your edits to the [[probability]] article. You have left σ-algebra as a redlink. Do you intend to make an article about it? I would suggest that a decent treatment of σ-algebras, and the Kolmogorov axioms, might be a bit beyond the target audience. But if you can explain this, and show how these axioms apply to the study of probability, I'd be interested in seeing it. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] 22:21, 29 November 2012 (EST)
:Certainly I don't think such topics are necessary for middle or high school students (the intuitive notion of probability as <math>\frac{\#\textrm{successes}}{\#\textrm{outcomes}}</math> serves well). However, for those that want to study probability or statistics seriously, a rigorous axiomatic foundation is necessary. I recall seeing other articles with more in-depth treatment of certain topics in mathematics on Conservapedia, and I think it would definitely improve the project. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 22:32, 29 November 2012 (EST)

== Congratulations ==

Congratulations - you understand American Government & Politics very well, and have a bright future!--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:50, 30 December 2012 (EST)
:Thank you for the compliments. Alas, I am planning to have a career in math instead, but every American citizen should understand how our government works so that they can effectively participate in our republican form of government. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 10:16, 31 December 2012 (EST)

== Evolution ==

I read your essay on evolution, and I really like it. I've put an "endorsement" of it on my own user page. The sentence "Taking Genesis literally additionally leaves one with the uncomfortable position of having God (who is The Truth) create reason for us only to have us not use it with regards to an important question: our creation." was spot-on.

A thing you might want to say about transitional fossils is along the lines of: scientists see broken trails of evidence all the time, such as, literally, broken particle tracks in a subatomic particle detector, or broken tracks of ancient Roman roads in radar images, or oxbow lakes near a meandering river, and so on. They make perfectly valid inferences that there is a causal or evidential chain from A to C, even if they can't literally see B. [[User:JudyJ|JudyJ]] 23:04, 1 January 2013 (EST)
:Thank you for the compliments! Admittedly, I would have to do more science research to finish out the list (my biology knowledge comes from two years of high school courses), but I will consider adding your suggestion to the page. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 10:09, 2 January 2013 (EST)

== Obamacare ==

I noticed your delete. Please understand the Snopes, Factcheck, and the others like Politifact only masquerade as neutral. They are not the final say nor are they trustworthy. They are liberal funded websites with an agenda. With that said, I reviewed their "false" claims and found them to be inaccurate. Obamacare doesn't use the word exempt, rather opt-out and they use the phrase religious conscience clause. The law as written is vague but enough can be gleaned from it, such tax and insurance mandates. Muslim most certainly "Can" and very likely will take advantage of the loophole and opt-out for religious conscience. We already know that Christians cannot opt-out for religious conscience. My sources
say "Presumably, they [Muslims] will be exempt from the requirement to purchase insurance under the religious exemption," and "Muslims may claim a religious exemption that is denied Christians and Jews." --[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 10:04, 5 January 2013 (EST)
:I am not using the sources as "X said Y", therefore "Y". I looked at all three sources and I fully agree with the well-written reasoning in each article. In particular, I will note that an individual can only claim a religious exemption if they also forfeit Social Security benefits, which Muslims have not done (but, incidentally, Amish have). [[User:GregG|GregG]] 10:29, 5 January 2013 (EST)

== [[User:Conservative]] wants to share some "Bad news for Conservapedia's evolutionists" ==

(content created by Conservative and subject to Conservapedia's copyright policy)

<div style="margin: 10px; padding: 10px; background-color: #CCC">
From a [[Question evolution! campaign blog]]:

"Evolutionists and atheists, I know it will be hard to keep down your breakfast tomorrow, so out of Christian charity I have provided some soothing music for you. It is Chinese music. Try not to think about China, the world's largest atheist population, experiencing an explosive growth of Christian creationism in its cities where many of the most influential Chinese live. China's atheist leaders are panicking about this matter.

In December of 2012, the National Intelligence Council issued a report that China will be more influential of a power than Europe (EU area specifically) by 2035. Darwinism can help make countries which were formerly great powers into weak second rate powers, while Christianity and the Protestant work ethic can assist developing countries to overshadow formerly great powers (See also: European Darwinism). And the wonderful thing about Christianity and biblical creation belief is that they are true worldviews." See: [[Christian apologetics]]

A message to Conservapedia's evolutionists re: me/us not reading talk pages or posting to talk pages until [http://conservapedia.com/Talk:Main_Page#Public_notice_from_User:_Conservative_account at least 2016]:

Not only am I enjoying my respite from unreasonable and quarrelsome Darwinists (who cannot satisfactorily answer the [http://creation.com/15-questions 15 questions] for evolutionists and are very afraid of debating [[VivaYehshua]]), being more productive overall in various sectors of my life, but I will also have more time to promote various conservative/Christian causes which are important to me.

Also, you needn't worry about me/us breaking this absence from talk pages before 2016 as I/we have informed various parties concerning this matter plus I/we are very committed to this matter.

By the way, current events certainly do not bode well for Darwinism do they?

:Christians who have interacted with atheists have a common observation that atheists rail about how supposedly stupid and/or crazy they are.

== Common core ==

Just a quick note about my ''modus operandi'' on the [[Essay:Common_Core]] article: Lately I've been trying to keep a strict "hands off" policy about removing any material from a page, even if I think it's completely wrong. There seems to be a policy that one must not remove, or "censor" as it's sometimes called, anything. You can see that policy very clearly by looking through the histories of the [[Theory of relativity]], [[Counterexamples to Relativity]], and [[E%3Dmc²]] articles. But I found that adding information is OK. The best example being a whole new article, [[Essay:Rebuttal_to_Counterexamples_to_Relativity]]. There has been peace in the relativity department (at least as far as I am concerned; some people still don't "get it") since then.

When I added the analysis of proof coverage in the Common Core article, I took out Andy's statement that there is no coverage. Then I realized my error, and put it back in when I added the analysis of pre-calculus.

This is not to criticize your actions in any way. Just letting you know where I was coming from. Of course, as a sysop, you can do things that I can't.

:''"remove image from grassrootjournal.com whose usage appears to fall outside fair use (being on a talk page) and was placed in a way that suggested (falsely) that Tony included it"''
Where did you get this idea that the image placement ''suggested (falsely) that Tony included it''? [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 10:35, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
:Sorry for the delay in replying; I just got back home. I got it from the fact that [http://conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&oldid=1068629#Non_sequiturs it appears directly to the right of Tony's comment], without any attribution or notation suggesting that someone other than Tony included the image. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 21:44, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
::No, it was placed at the top of the sub-topic by me, as an answer to anyone who thinks we should think like liberals do, instead of thinking for ourselves. The only connection it had to Tony is what you made of it, and nothing more. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 09:58, 25 October 2013 (EDT)
:::I added a note to the image indicating that you were the one who added it. Also, when you get the chance, could you add information about the image's licensing or how fair use applies (to the extent it applies to image use on talk pages) to the file page; it seems that due to an oversight, this was not included? Thanks, [[User:GregG|GregG]] 13:09, 27 October 2013 (EDT)

== Birth issue ==

I don't think there has ever been any doubt about Mitt Romney's place of birth, and I'm confident he quickly and thoroughly provided proof of it as most Americans have done.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 00:03, 3 November 2013 (EDT)
:Obama did release a copy of both his short-form and long-form birth certificates, let reporters examine them, and presented a drivers license as voter ID to cast a ballot by [[early voting]] in October 2012. I think this is certainly enough evidence to state his birthdate as fact, especially since other articles, like [[Phyllis Schlafly]], report birth dates as fact on less evidence. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 14:33, 3 November 2013 (EST)
::Yes, he let reporters "examine" them, and they proclaimed them to be "genuine", but Obama never expected them to be subject to forensic examination by a law enforcement agency, which proclaimed them to be a Photoshop forgery. To date, no one has been allowed to see the originals. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 15:02, 3 November 2013 (EST)
:::I don't see any point in continuing to budget my limited time to educate people who believe in wild conspiracy theories against all reputable evidence. I shall go back to working on articles that can really make Conservapedia stand apart from everything else on the Internet, like my [[User:GregG/Mainstream media attacks on arbitration|Mainstream media attacks on arbitration]] article. I should also get through dismantling the AAJ's most recent diatribe against arbitration. [[User:GregG|GregG]] 08:34, 5 November 2013 (EST)

== You contradicted yourself ==

GregG, you contradicted yourself. If the 15 questions for evolutionists are stupid as you maintain, then why did you contact [[Kenneth Miller]] about them? Either you were being stupid or the questions are legitimate to raise. I know the latter is the case. Seems like you are being mighty contradictory in this matter! And I know the questions were important and relevant to the creation vs. evolution issue, because even Richard Dawkins' moderator at his website posted the 15 questions and said they were good/interesting questions (If memory serves and it may not, it was at Dawkins' old website). By the way, how is Kenneth Miller doing as far as satisfactorily answering the 15 questions for evolutionists? Have you heard back from him yet?

Just admit it, unquestioningly maintaining errant dogma is vastly inferior to well-designed penetrating questions. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 17:35, 13 January 2014 (EST)

"...religion is still following the trajectory of a failing social network..."

The percentage of atheists in the world has significantly dropped since the 1970s. See: [[Global atheism]].

In the next 11 years, there is expected to be 300,000,000 more self-identified Christians in the world and 3,000,000 less atheists in the world.[http://www.gordonconwell.edu/resources/CSGC-Resources.cfm]

Will these global trends affect the Western World? Professor Eric Kaufmann, an agnostic who teaches at the Birbeck College, University of London, told a secular audience in Australia: "The trends that are happening worldwide inevitably in an age of globalization are going to affect us."[http://fora.tv/2010/09/05/Eric_Kaufmann_Shall_the_Religious_Inherit_the_Earth][http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2013/11/2013-continues-to-be-worst-year-in.html]

Next, you didn't show that the number of atheists in the USA is rising. Until you show that "Nones/no religion" people are actually atheists and not largely non-sectarian Christians/theists, I have no reason to believe your claim.[http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2012/08/research-shows-american.html][http://www.pewforum.org/2012/10/09/nones-on-the-rise/]

Also, I hope you realize that your use of profanity (the F word) demonstrates that you are an uncouth individual and likely belonging to "low atheism"/"low church atheism".[http://voxday.blogspot.com/2007/12/illogical-atheist.html][http://www.voxday.net/mart/TIA_free.pdf‎] Even the atheist/agnostic flip-flopper [[Richard Dawkins]] does not use the F word in public and banned people in his forum for using profanity.[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/7322177/Richard-Dawkins-in-bitter-web-censorship-row-with-fellow-atheists.html] See also: [http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2013/06/christianity-has-great-depth-and.html Christianity has great depth and sophistication. Also, 7 reasons why atheism has developed a reputation of being low-class and "low brow"] and [[Essay: Indian Christian culture is better than low class atheist "culture"]] Your uncouth language is not entirely surprising given that the head person at your website does not appear to care about his appearance/health and has an abundance of unsightly flab! See: [[Atheism and obesity]]

By the way, how long do you think you can continue to ignore reality? [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 17:19, 21 April 2014 (EDT)

==CO2==
In response to [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Hybrid_electric_vehicle&diff=prev&oldid=1093414 this], there is certainly evidence which suggests that CO2 should viewed as plant food rather than pollution.[http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/06/30/memo-to-doubtersi-was-tempted-to-say-deniersco2-is-plant-food/] [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] 05:46, 17 July 2014 (EDT)

== I moved it back ==

I moved your arbitration article [[Attacks on arbitration]] as per your request as I received no further feedback from you. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 00:38, 22 July 2014 (EDT)

::Since it is pretty much of a future article and a work in progress, I moved the web page into your user space: [[User:GregG/Attacks on arbitration]]. Once you complete your work, we can move it into [[Attacks on arbitration]]. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 00:30, 25 July 2014 (EDT)

== Two small requests ==

I have two small requests:

1. I added a category tag to your [[Greatest conservative corporations]] article. Please endeavor to put category tags on your new articles.

2. I am working on reducing the number of orphan pages which have no other pages linking to them. See if you can link to your new article from related pages such as [[conservatism]], [[Wal-Mart]], etc.

Conservapedia has a lot of orphan pages as can be seen here: http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special:LonelyPages&limit=500&offset=0 I started the process of the deorphanization of Conservapedia articles today. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 16:44, 11 October 2014 (EDT)
:Thank you for your suggestions. I will endeavor to attempt to find a category for my new articles and find a way to link them in existing articles (to the extent that such articles are not permanently protected). [[User:GregG|GregG]] 16:45, 11 October 2014 (EDT)
::Thanks. One last thing. Try to to have your articles link to other relevant articles. I linked [[Chick-fil-A]] from [[Greatest conservative corporations]] for example. It will increase the user visitor experience if the visitor can explore matters in greater depth. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 16:48, 11 October 2014 (EDT)

==Edit access during "off hours"==
Hello GregG. I wish to be able to edit between
midnight and 7 AM Pacific Standard Time since I am free during
those hours. Would you please unblock my editing ability during
those hours? That is when I have the most free time. I sent an e-mail to conservapedia@zoho.com, cpwebmaster@conservapedia.com but with no reply.

Thank you,
God bless.

== I may be partly to blame for Cons's most recent binge ==

See the bottom of my talk page, especially the last screenful or so, starting with "It's a nice day". When people try to talk Cons into more normal activities, he often digs in even deeper, and this was no exception. Do I feel guilty about this, and should I avoid trying to engage with him? No. I'm trying to help him to interact, at least with me, in a normal and sensible manner. Even if Andy were to intervene and shut off his account, he would probably just go to some creationist website and continue. Only the people who actually deal with him on a personal non-internet basis are going to be able to help. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] 13:18, 5 July 2015 (EDT)

:That recent edit of yours on main talk was a real slap in the race. [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] 21:35, 21 July 2015 (EDT)

== You Maestro!!! ==

You're a maestro!!!! Your restoration of edits is absolutely fabulous.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 10:57, 26 August 2015 (EDT)
:Thanks. I'm currently doing this on an ad-hoc basis, but I can zip up the RSS posts for the edits I do have (which is incomplete) and send it to you. [[User:GregG|GregG]] ([[User talk:GregG|talk]]) 10:58, 26 August 2015 (EDT)
::That would be wonderful! I can then do the rest.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 11:03, 26 August 2015 (EDT)

== Clickbait ==

Why did you use a Conservapedia headline as an example in the page you originated, "[[Clickbait]]"? Is that what you think the Main Page right section is? Clickbait? [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] ([[User talk:VargasMilan|talk]]) 00:26, 26 September 2015 (EDT)
:My opinion is that many of the teapartycrusaders.com headlines (linked to on MPR) are clickbait (which is unfortunate, since I think honest headlines are much better). The other headlines are usually high quality. I don't think clickbait TPC headlines should be so prevalent on our main page, but one particular administrator apparently thinks otherwise. And since my previous attempts to improve MPR have been unsuccessful, I don't bother with that approach anymore. Thanks, [[User:GregG|GregG]] ([[User talk:GregG|talk]]) 10:10, 26 September 2015 (EDT)
::The title was: "When CNN Said 'It's Ok To Abort Babies', Ben Carson's Reply Left The Whole Room Silent". It may or may not have been a misleading title. Was there an audience for the CNN interview? Probably not, but it is unclear. Given the brevity of the clip and the camera angle, I don't know if there was an audience or not (absence of evidence is not evidence of absence). I think you need a more definitive example of clickbait. I deleted your second example. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 10:30, 26 September 2015 (EDT)

== More bad news for Kenneth Miller fans ==

[[Kenneth R. Miller]]'s number one argument in the [[Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District]] trial has been shot down as the beta-globin pseudogene appears to be functional.[http://www.evolutionnews.org/2013/04/an_icon_of_the_071421.html]

I hope that further clarifies things.

By the way, has Miller gotten back to you about the [http://www.evolutionnews.org/2013/04/an_icon_of_the_071421.html 15 questions] for evolutionists yet? [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 17:55, 13 October 2015 (EDT)
