==Authorization by NYT Best-Selling Conservative Christian Preparedness Author James Wesley Rawles to use "up to 3 Quotes of 800 Words Each" of his Writings per CP Article==

:: Good news [[User:Conservative]] is that I was discussing on e-mail today with [[James_Wesley_Rawles#Strong_Advocate_of_Conservapedia_over_Wikipedia|James Wesley Rawles]] to get his permission to use a larger than normal "[[Talk:James_Wesley_Rawles|fair use]]" amount of his authoritative source materials to build some good quality articles on a variety of Conservative-related topics. He is the most respected and popular [[New York Times]] [[:Category:Best Selling Authors|best selling]] author/consultant in the field of [[Preparedness]] (from a [http://survivalblog.com/biographies Conservative Christian perspective] with 7 books authored). ''''He gave me the go ahead: "You are certainly welcome to use up to three quotes of 800 words each, in any of your wiki articles." That's 2400 words of great source material with me writing a wrapper around it and integrating other materials plus all the Wiki-link work and formatting following the CP [[Conservapedia:Manual of Style]].'''' (See below for the actual e-mail authorization.) 

Mr. Rawles site's [[The_Survival_Blog#Strong_Advocate_of_Conservapedia_over_Wikipedia|The Survival Blog]] is amazingly detailed and has received almost ''''71 million ''unique'' visits since July 2005. That's more than 320,000 unique visits per week.'''' SurvivalBlog it is considered the Internet’s premier source of information on family preparedness and survival topics.

''''He is a big fan of [[Conservapedia]] and links to it where possible, doing his best to avoid the "[[James_Wesley_Rawles#Strong_Advocate_of_Conservapedia_over_Wikipedia|LiberalPropagandaPedia]]".'''' Here is more info: http://survivalblog.com/archivecd. [https://www.google.com/#q=%22SurvivalBlog.com%22 According to Google there are more than 142,000 results for "SurvivalBlog.com"]. 

''''These articles will definitely help draw a new audience to Conservapedia.'''' [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt|TheAmericanRedoubt]] 16:17, 30 December 2014 (EST)

:Glad to hear your good news. In terms of creating an online encyclopedia resource related to [[survivalism]] and sub topics related to survivalism, I am guessing you will be able to surpass Wikipedia in terms of the quality/quantity of information that is provided. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 16:28, 30 December 2014 (EST)

::Most definitely. And as [[Jack Spirko]] of the Survival Podcast (with more than 500,000 daily listeners as of December 2014) has said on a recent podcast, his audience is almost entirely conservative. Same with that of James Wesley Rawles and most other preppers. [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt|TheAmericanRedoubt]] 17:00, 30 December 2014 (EST)

Here is an example of "[[ James_Wesley_Rawles#Strong_Advocate_of_Conservapedia_over_Wikipedia|Rawles]]" quote: 
"As I’ve mentioned before, Wikipedia’s editors have strong [[leftist]] and [[statist]] [[liberal bias|biases]]. This is evidenced by the way that they selectively delete content and gradually push the Point of View (POV) of articles to match their world views. According a SurvivalBlog reader in [[Switzerland]], the following section was deleted from Wikipedia by members of an [[gun control|anti-gun]] Wikipedia [[cabal]] on August 14, 2013. (It had been part of the [[Mayors Against Illegal Guns]] article). Never mentioned in the Wikipedia article was the fact that there are charges pending against at least seven other members of their “crime fighting” organization: Marcus Hook Mayor [[James Schiliro|James ‘Jay’ Schiliro]] - the “furnishing [[alcohol]] to a minor” charge was just dropped on a technicality, but he still faces [[misdemeanor]] charges of official oppression, recklessly endangering another person, unlawful restraint and false imprisonment, in a bizarre incident where he tried to force a young man to have [[homosexual]] relations, at gunpoint.)"<ref>156 {{Template:James Wesley Rawles authorized quotation}}  January 5, 2015 ''Embarrassing Truths: An Example of Why You Shouldn’t Trust Wikipedia'' http://survivalblog.com/embarrassing_truths_an_example_of_why_you_shouldnt_trust_wikipedia</ref>, <ref name=schiliroscandal>{{cite web|last=Bender|first=William|title=Marcus Hook Mayor arrested, seeking re-election|url=http://articles.philly.com/2013-03-22/news/37940199_1_schiliro-whelan-report-states|publisher=Philly.com}}</ref>

:If it ever comes to it, would you be willing to write on the article's WP talk page a comment to the effect that you copied your version to Conservapedia? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 09:37, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

::Sure, I'd be happy to. FWIW, I posted a clarification on my wikipedia Talk page that includes this:  "..., I posted four articles on Conservapedia. If you examine those posts and compare them with their respective original draft editions, of which I was the author, you will see that there has been no violation of copyright. (All of what I've posted at Wikipedia was either from my original draft articles, or from my subsequent edits. I very carefully edited out any content that was from other wiki editors."  -- [[User:Fongman|Fongman]] 12:17, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

== Kind Advice from Conservative and Karajou and my Response - No more Survivalism-Guns-AltMed-Permaculture-HamRadio, just Indian Philosophy articles from me now==

If Wschact acts unreasonably in order to protect liberal sacred cows or acts in a petty way due to you adding conservative content that he does not like, please contact User: Karajou and/or User: JPatt.  On the other hand, please be judicious about this matter. If Wschact offers useful input, please take it. 

I did solve the SamHB issue for you though. Should SamHB return, I suspect he will be far less truculent due to it being pointed out that masses of people are leaving his unfree state of Massachusetts each year. Obviously, people leave a sinking unfree ship of state and not a successful freedom loving flagship state. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 03:20, 11 January 2015 (EST)
::By the way, don't ever get frustrated and quit. Stand your ground and if necessary call in the cavalry of Karajou and Jpatt. :) [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 03:26, 11 January 2015 (EST)
:::I reopened my user talk page mailbox. However, please please contact Karajou/Jpatt first as they may be more active than me at CP in the foreseeable future. I did make some promises to people to assist them with off wiki projects so Karajou/JPatt may act more quickly for you. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 03:36, 11 January 2015 (EST)

:: Sorry fellow Conservatives, but Wschact (and all the really vociferous "libs"/RINOS here) finally won with their bullying. Washact and the five others, but especially Washact, have tired me out, calling me a parodist, a hijacker, etc, etc. The ''''only'''' thing Wshact didn't immediately edit are my Buddhist and Indian philosophy article contributions [[:Category:Indian Philosophy]] and [[:Category:Buddhism]]. It's simply too much of an uphill battle here with these loud-mouthed five, especially wshact. It's just too demoralizing even for an energetic contributor like me. As long as he is hounding me on ''''every'''' edit and template, it's just not worth it to me. 

:: I can contribute my time and high energy elsewhere for the Conservative cause, where there is a slightly longer "pérennité" (as the French say) / durability to my contributions. I am sad to say my similar veined edits actually stayed visible on Wikipedia much longer before the vultures swooped in than they did here. At least over at Wikipedia I can contribute complementary medicine/herbology material without having it immediately deleted/reverted. Numerous items I contributed at Wikipedia lasted sometimes for weeks at a time, not just a few minutes or hours before deletion/reverting. And they usually put up a top of the page Admin template flag on it first for a couple days to weeks rather than just remove/revert it instantly like weshact is doing. 

:: I think I will return back to the Conservative/Preparedness Forums from which I came. From now on you will only see on CP the occasional Buddhist, Hindu, Indian philosophy article I may perhaps continue to contribute since Comparative Religions/Philosophy was one of my past formal study areas in college. 

: I sent you Karajou and User:Conservative a private e-mail about it. 

::Be strong. Be of good courage. God bless America. Long live the Republic.
