Rawr3:

Conservapedia currently does not require documentation of licensing on the images that are uploaded. This potentialy opens itself up to a significant copyright nightmare.

With uploading of images, if these images are likewise licensed under [[Conservapedia:Copyright]] there may be conflicts of licensing (such as that from a microstock site). Additionally there is lack of attribution to the artist and no indication of the copyright of the image.

Examples of potential problems:
* [[:Image:Washington-rain-forest.png]] shows up in a search at http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=washington+rain+forest&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2 -- someone else owns the copyright to this image. Not sure who, but its likely not the uploader.
* [[:Image:Koala-cub.jpg]] is from http://www3.nationalgeographic.com/animals/wallpaper/koala-cub.html which is certainly a registered copyright.
* [[:Image:Grapes.jpg]] is from http://norman.walsh.name/2000/09/images/grapes.html and Copyright © 2003–2007 Norman Walsh. This image is licensed under a Creative Commons license which requires attribution (in conflict with [[Conservapedia:Copyright]] item #1 - "Conservapedia grants a non-exclusive license to you to use any of the content on this site with or without attribution.")
: Copyright notice added to image. Issue resolved.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 21:33, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

* [[:Image:Jrogh.jpg]] is licensed under the GFDL. Under section 5, this may only be combined with other material that is also under the GFDL.
: Image, which was inappropriate and unnecessary anyway, has been deleted. Issue resolved.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 21:33, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

Sun Yat-sen

Rawr3:

Sun Yixian 1866–1925 was one of the many Chinese inspired by the revolutions in [[Europe]]. He led the [[Nationalist Party]] to victory and became the first leader of the new Republic of [[China]]. Sun was born near Guangzhou into a farmland owning family. He attended an Anglican boys school in Honolulu. There he came under Western influence and particularly that of Christianity. He later received a diploma from a Hong Kong medical school and began to practice medicine in Hong Kong. After this all his activities were focused on overthrowing the [[Ch'ing dynasty]] and establishing a Chinese republic. Sun fled China in 1895 after an abortive revolt. He toured the world a few times to enlist aid from overseas to finance his activities. In 1905 Sun organized a revolutionary league. His political conceptions were based on the three people’s principles: nationalism, democracy, and the people’s livelihood. A revolution erupted in China and Sun was elected president of the new Chinese republic but two months later he resigned, leaving power to [[Yuan Shiakaj]]. After Sun died, Jiang Jieshi took his place as head of the Communist Party.

Four Horsemen

Rawr3:

The '''Four Horsemen''' were four [[conservative]] [[Supreme Court]] Justices during the 1931-1937 terms of the Court, during the Administration of President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]. These four Justices were [[Pierce Butler]], [[James McReynolds]], [[George Sutherland]] and [[Willis Van Devanter]]. In the middle of the Court were Chief Justice [[Charles Evans Hughes]] and Justice [[Owen J. Roberts]]. On the [[liberal]] side were Justices [[Louis Brandeis]], [[Benjamin Cardozo]], and [[Harlan Fiske Stone]], Hughes often sided with the liberals, while Roberts often agreed with the Four Horsemen.

The Court unanimously invalidated the [[National Industrial Recovery Act]] in May 1935.<ref>''Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States'', 295 U.S. 495 (1935)</ref> But the following fall, the [[liberal]] Justices moved in favor of upholding other aspects of the [[New Deal]].

The Four Horsemen, together with Roberts and Hughes, invalidated key parts of the [[New Deal]] during the 1935 term. They struck down the [[Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933]],<ref>''United States v. Butler'', 297 U.S. 1 (1936)</ref> regulations of the [[coal]] industry,<ref>''Carter v. Carter Coal'', 298 U.S. 238 (1936)</ref> and the New York [[minimum wage]] law for women and children. and in , the Four together with Roberts voided legislation regulating the coal industry, and the same line-up voided a New York minimum wage law for women and children.<ref>''Morehead v. New York'', 298 U.S. 587 (1936)</ref>

The Four Horsemen were known to commute to the Court together as they worked out their arguments.

President Roosevelt's response was to propose his [[court-packing scheme]], which Congress and the American public rejected. This cost Roosevelt much in the way of credibility. But the retirement of Van Devanter in June 1937 and President Roosevelt's replacement of him by the liberal Justice [[Hugo Black]] terminated the power of the Four Horsemen.

==Other uses==
''Revelation 6:1-8'' describes four horsemen who will ride a white, red, black, and "pale" horse respectively, and are often said to refer to [[pestilence]], [[war]], [[famine]], and [[death]]. They are often referred to as "the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."

A popular movie of 1921, "The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse," which starred [[Rudolph Valentino]], and may have popularized this particular phrasing.

Four stars of the Notre Dame football team in the 1920s were referred to as the "Four Horsemen."
