==The XKCD Article==
XKCD is a notable webcomic given its unique highly intellectual humor and being the most popular webcomic on the internet (as far as I can tell). Why was the article removed as being 'non-notable'? [[User: DesertEagle|DesertEagle]]

==Thanks==

Hi, Thanks a lot for the advice. I hadn't realised that the changes I addressed had been made by the site owner - I feel pretty embarrassed now! I've read the info you gave me and I'll make sure I stick to it.

By the way, when you reverted what I had changed on Red-Letter Christians, you also reverted a spelling error that I'd corrected on Cambridge University - just letting you know in case you hadn't mean to revert that also!

Sorry - one other thing. You (or another administrator) might like to look at deleting the article entitled 'UBS'. UBS (University of Bums on Seats) is a fake university -in the UK it's a widely known satire of educational policy. [[User: Haniyagaz|Haniyagaz]]

:Thanks for the information!  You can correct the spelling, if you've a mind to.  No I wasn't aware of the spelling reversion.  --[[User:TK|'''₮K''']]<sub><small><small>/Admin</small></small></sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 08:03, 29 May 2009 (EDT)

::Hi, Just one further point on this. I discovered that another minor revision I had made (correcting a translation from Russian on the Alger Hiss article) had also been reverted, at the same time as the others. I presumed this was an error (like the Cambridge University revert) and so I reinserted my correction. You've now reverted it again. I'm not really sure why, so I just wanted to mention it here in case it had been a misunderstanding.

::::Ah okay, thanks for clarifying. To me that doesn't seem right in terms of the translation, so I'll open it up on the Talk page. Sorry about the revert before: I just presumed it was an error like with the Cambridge University article.

::::This isn't Wikipedia, Haniyagaz. Please read our Guidelines.

After being inactive for a while, I noticed that you blocked me for using multiple accounts?  WesleyS emailed me just the other day to inform me that you had suspicions of us being the same person.  I'm from West Virginia and he's from Pittsburgh.  It's only about a 30-mile difference, so I understand why you would suspect.  I would have emailed you, but my email feature has been disabled.  If you could please reply I would really appreciate it.  I always have (and still do) had the best of intentions for this site.  Thanks.  --JLauttamus

== Atheism Talk Page ==

You contributed yesterday to the Atheist talk page on 'Atheist definition' and in it you not only provided a completely irrelevant subject (how children are born pure and are corrupted by liberals) but also insulted the original asker by insinuating that he corrupts little children and, by proxy, causes them to go to hell (OK, the very last bit is a complete exaggeration). 

There are also many other points on there that require editing, if you have the ability to edit it would you mind cleaning out the un-necessary bits? (If you want I can probably list them here). [[User:Hobohodo|Hobohodo]] 13:16, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

*I doubt you will find any Administrator here at Conservapedia interested in diluting that article, with the end-game being to obfuscate and present in a better light, the agenda of Atheists, Liberals and Socialists. Personally, I leave it to God to decide who is going to Hell and who isn't, FYI.  However I very much meant to say ''(not merely insinuate)'' that those supporting, or wishing us to present Atheists and Liberals in a more positive light, do indeed corrupt the innocent. You should ask that your account be re-named to something less silly, by the way, if you ever expect to be taken seriously. --[[User:TK|'''₮K''']]<sub><small><small>/Admin</small></small></sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 13:35, 13 May 2009 (EDT)
**Using someone's name as a reason to reject a logical and valid point isn't a very good argument. I understand you're an administrator and have various jobs to perform and stuff, but you have no real proof, no REAL proof that atheists do corrupt the innocent. Taking on board you are a Christian and believe the Bible 100%, is totally fair enough and you're allowed to use that in an argument. I know several atheists would disagree but allow me to point out that whilst you can use it as evidence, you cannot use it as proof. As such, your statement should be retracted. Add to that, WHY did you say that in the first place? It was totally irrelevant to the subject matter. [[User:Deeer|Deeer]] 14:55, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

== Quick Question ==

Hello! I was just wondering why you got rid of my relatively minor edit to the article [[Judaism]]. Judaism is indeed considered to be an [[ethnic religion]]. I made similar edits to the pages on [[Taoism]], [[Islam]], and [[Christianity]] (making it clear that the first is also an ethnic religion while the other two are [[universalizing religion|universalizing religions]]), and none of those edits were reverted. In fact, both the pages on Christianity and Islam were edited multiple times by high-ranking administrators (Andy Schlafly himself in the case of Christianity) and my edits were not removed, so I'm kindly asking that you revert the page to the way it was when I last edited it, as there have been no revisions since (except for your reversion of my edit to the one before it). If there's some specific reason as to why you're opposed to having that particular factoid on the page, I'd be happy to hear it. Please respond on my talk page because I probably won't check yours. Thanks! -[[User:Ilikecake|Ilikecake]] 00:56, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

*You should check [http://conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:Administrators here].  Your edit said: ''"Though there is some controversy, Judaism is generally considered to be an ethnic religion."'' Generally?  By whom? Controversy?  About that term being applied to Judaism?  I wonder if that is because there are hundreds of thousands of non-Semites who practice Judaism? I don't always have time to stop whatever I am doing and go digging around for citations to back up statements inserted into articles as you did. In our [[Manual of Style]] it clearly instructs editors to back their assertions/content with sources.  In the example I just gave you, about non Semites who practice Judaism, you merely saying it is so, clearly is not. I left you a clue in the [[Christianity]] article to show you why your edits were reversed.  Finally, thanks for pointing out your edits that I failed to revert!  Here we don't ping-pong responses, keeping everything where it began, so it is easier for all to follow, so my response is here, and I do hope you find it! If you have further questions, just ask.  Thanks! --[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]<sub><small><small>/Admin</small></small></sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 01:34, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

::I properly sourced the claim that you disputed on the Christianity page, as well as on the pages for universalizing and ethnic religions. I am now asking your permission to restore my edits on the pages for Taoism, Islam, and Judaism using the same source that I used on the pages I just mentioned. It's a very well-respected textbook on the topic of Human Geography, which is quickly becoming a general education requirement in many of the country's leading universities, authored by a man named James M. Rubenstein (economist, professor at Miami University, and consultant for the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago). I believe this to be an adequate source, as it is the same information that is being taught to young people around the country. -[[User:Ilikecake|Ilikecake]] 13:45, 5 June 2009 (EDT)
:::Also, I know this has nothing to do with what we've been discussing, but I have an additional request: can you please rename the article [[Paul Cezanne]] to [[Paul Cézanne]]? I have explained why in the talk page here: [http://conservapedia.com/Talk:Paul_Cezanne#Rename].

*You sourced it?  Where?  Did you add the ref link with your information?  I did not see a reference link. Please do not add information from what you consider to be a "good" source.

:: ...I did add a reference link on the Christianity page, unless I am mistaken. If you click the little superscript "2" next to the sentence in question, you are directed to the bottom of the page where I properly cited the book that I drew the information from. Whether or not textbooks are liberal sources of information, I used the book in question as my primary resource because I cannot see any way in which the topic at hand can be influenced by politics in any way. The tone of the textbook does not indicate in any way that the author intends to bash Christianity, Judaism, or any other religion, just provide in a matter-of-fact way the status quo as it relates to the study of human geography. -[[User:Ilikecake|Ilikecake]] 19:40, 5 June 2009 (EDT)
:::...and the plot thickens. I saw that you deleted my redirect from [[The Metropolitan Museum of Art]] to [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]], stating that it was unauthorized. I was not aware that it was "unauthorized" or that I had to get authorization to do so, but regardless, was it not a helpful edit? Would you not make the same redirect if you came across two pages that differ only as it relates to a definite article? I'm very sorry if I violated a rule, but I'm requesting now that you restore the redirect. I can't see any reason why you wouldn't other than to spite me personally, which I can't imagine you'd do. -[[User:Ilikecake|Ilikecake]] 19:46, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

:I don't see merit to the above criticisms.  We avoid public-school-textbook style jargon here.  The term "ethnic religion" is unfamiliar to most people and it's unclear what it means.

:As to "Paul Cezanne," that is the English spelling of his name, and this encyclopedia is in English.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 19:17, 5 June 2009 (EDT)
::The Paul Cézanne thing seems to have blown over at this point because it has been kindly renamed by [[User:Joaquín Martínez|Joaquín Martínez]]. The accent is present on the "e" in virtually all sources consulted, including the databases of several major art museums in America and elsewhere (the links that I provided on the talk page are for database queries from [[The Metropolitan Museum of Art]] and The Art Institute of Chicago). Also, I don't understand how "universalizing religion" and "ethnic religion" are "public-school-textbook style jargon." Beyond the fact that I've only ever encountered the textbook in question in private universities (though I guess I can conceive of its use at a public school because the author, James M. Rubenstein, is a high-ranking professor at the public Miami University in Ohio). Whether or not "most people" are familiar with the term "ethnic religion" is inconsequential (and I would actually argue that many people are familiar with the term)—it is the term preferred by the majority of human geographers today. Furthermore, I'm sure you can open any encyclopedia to any page and encounter a term that "most people" are unfamiliar with—aren't encyclopedias supposed to be databases jam-packed with all information that could be considered helpful to know about the world? Even if "ethnic religion" is a term unknown to most people, why inhibit people from learning more about it? -[[User:Ilikecake|Ilikecake]] 19:40, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

I still believe that my original block was unmerited, but I will not argue that here nor will I ever argue it because it is in the past. As stated above, I inserted a properly formatted citation on the Christianity article alone. As stated above, currently reference #2 on the page [[Christianity]] is a citation from the book ''The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography'' by James M. Rubenstein. I did not source my claims for the Islam or Judaism article because I was waiting to see if you approved of the way that I cited in the Christianity article.

My problem is, Ilikecake <small>(Please post to Aschlafly's talk page and ask him to change your user name to your real first name and last initial)</small> you added the material, based only upon your own word, without a link to verify the book says what you say it does, or any ability to check the book out.  That is not an acceptable primary source for the information you wanted to add. You are not some lone wolf, like they allow on Wikipedia, making policy decision about what pages will say, or what their titles will be.  You will need to discuss plans to vacate pages, re-direct them, or even create disambig pages, which you would have known if you had bothered to read our Manual of Style, and ancillary pages.

Your help is needed and appreciated, I want to be clear about that. But usually, here, that means editing articles from our conservative perspective only, and asking and discussing major changes first. I consider re-directing pages to be major. I consider disambiguation pages to be major, especially when filled with silly, small European cities on an American encyclopedia. I consider labeling an entire religion to be ethnic-specific as major, and misleading. Personally I also find it slightly anti-semitic as well, perhaps marginalizing is a better word.--[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]<sub><small><small>/Admin</small></small></sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 20:17, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

You can tell me no, but I'd really much rather keep my username.

==Media on Obama==
A quote by (pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, pro Islamic magazine) Newsweek editor Evan Thomas may be of interest, referring his perception of the President after his recent speeches overseas, 

"I mean, in a way Obama's standing above the country, above the world. He's sort of God." http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/26445/

Perhaps this belongs in the MSM page, but i thought it might be pertinent on his own, as illustrative of the effect he has on many.

(Acts 12:21-23)  "And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. {22} And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. {23} And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost."

==I wanted to inform you...==
...of the fact that I was not "trolling" when I posted my thoughts on the Main Page's talk section. I would have accepted a plausible answer to my question and, if satisfied, or at the very least, threatened, wouldn't have dredged up the issue again. On a Christian wiki, the idea of posting graphically violent images just below the scroll cut-off (for most computer monitors, anyway) seems extremely unintelligent. However, if my post had been left there for a number of people to comment on, I, as well as potentially other users with similar concerns, might reach a consensus about why, exactly, those images belong there. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and, one imagines, replying in a helpful manner. [[User:GregP|GregP]] 20:42, 19 June 2009 (EDT)

*''Violent images?''  Were you not talking about smoking? When you get older, GregP, and finish your formal education, I believe you will have learned that your opinion about answers is not the end-all and be-all.  Sites have administrators, and their job is to consider more than just your small area of concern.  Your mixing of topics here, about my objections to your comments about smoking, and some "violent images" highlights your lack of critical thinking and logic.  If you want to continue this odd discourse, avail yourself of the "email this user" link to the left. Failure to do so will result in your removal.

== Moving articles ==

OK.  I didn't actually ''move'' the articles, formally, I just copied the content from one article into another, and nominated one of these articles for deletion.  This doesn't do anything to the revision history, but if this was against the rules, I apologize - now I know.

My goal was to combine the pages [[p-adic values]] and [[p-adic numbers]], both of which discussed the p-adic number system and contained content the other didn't.  I still think this would have been a good idea, but since all the content of the [[p-adic numbers]] article has been deleted, perhaps that content should be re-written and added to the [[P-adic values]] article.  My feeling, however, is that somebody curious about the p-adic number system would not search for "p-adic values," but either "p-adic numbers" or "p-adic analysis."

I wasn't the only editor for the [[p-adic numbers]], CherryS had put up a lot of relevant material, to which I added.  I don't know why you deleted that article, which existed long before I suggested the merger and now that content appears to be irretrievably lost.  Is there any way to retrieve it? 

I'm also curious as to why [[p-adic numbers]] was deleted at all - granted, it only took a few minutes for me re-write, and probably only a few minutes for [[user:cherrys|CherryS]] to write originally, but why couldn't you have just reverted my edit, rather than delete all that content?[[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 19:31, 14 July 2009 (EDT)

*In order to move an article, which maintains all of the edit/creation history, the name place for it has to be empty.

::::: Well, I think if you'll review what I said above, you'll notice that no one is "objecting" to anything.  I *asked* why my edits were reverted, so that if I did something wrong, you could explain it to me and help me to contribute better next time.  If you need a citation, here one is:   http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2009/07/31/suffering_from_roid_rage/   I'm not so wiki savvy, so maybe you could help me format it properly and insert it.

[[User:DanielPulido|DanielPulido]] 14:42, 1 August 2009 (EDT)

:::::You wrote on my talk page: "I am moving the discussion off my own page, Daniel, since it is pretty much user-specific to you."

:::::::Before I contacted you, I checked your page to see if there was anything applicable to my situation, but I couldn't find anything.  Let's keep it in a more accessible place!  Maybe someone else will find it useful next time. 

:::::"The editors guide, style guide, provides easy to use information on how to insert citations." 

::::::Since you didn't tell me what was actually wrong with the edits I made, can you blame me for asking for your help rather than fumbling and bumbling my way through the directions for an unfamiliar process, only to get that reverted without an explanation as well?

:::::"What one cannot make happen on a wiki, it seems, (and the same goes for my own office) is make people ask questions before actually doing something! Rather than discuss an idea, people on wiki's seem to feel some particular right of theirs has been violated or circumscribed by actually discussing it first."

::::::I see that you and I feel the same way about it: Of course you don't blame me; I was right to ask you before making further edits!  That's why it's so puzzling that you seemed to take issue with my asking.

:::::"In the instant case you discussed on my talk page, I could have stopped what I was doing and corrected the glaring mistake, or, taking even longer, made a post calling to to your attention the wrong date and lack of citation, or simply, easily, hitting the "revert" button you don't see, but all Admins do. Multiplied by several dozen times a day, perhaps you can see why I chose the course of action I did"

::::::Perhaps so.  And perhaps an even easier way would be to take a few seconds to tell me 1) I mistyped a 1 for a 2, and 2) I needed a citation, the first time I asked you what was wrong.  Even less stopping what you were doing that way, no?  Dividing your troubles, rather than multiplying them, seems sensible, doesn't it?  [[User:DanielPulido|DanielPulido]] 16:48, 1 August 2009 (EDT)

Well, you seem to have the time for argument and parsing what I say, ''even adding your own speculation(s) as to how I feel and what I mean'', so one would expect that you had actually read our style guide and pages about sourcing before embarking on an extended discussion here. New students and new employess, even new volunteers for the Red Cross, are all expected to read the available reference material, and you doing that, would have had your own question(s) answered.  It isn't a matter of my being "too busy" but of you being willing to comport yourself with basic respect and politeness. 

You asked me why your edit was reverted.  I responded by saying aside from the wrong date, it wasn't sourced.  Am I expected to use my special super powers and read your mind, know you were not a common vandal, and inserting the wrong date deliberately? 

When, as an Administrator, I moved this convoluted discussion, with several interjections from other users, to your talk page, what happened?  You decided to contradict my decision, without regard to the ''fact'' that others adding their own issues to this dialog made it confusing to read, and embarked on explaining to me why I was "wrong" in moving it there.  

''Then, in spite of being a new user, and obviously not being willing to invest the small amount of time it would take to read our Style Manual and other rules, you posted to the owners personal page, suggesting (after implying I and other Admins were "too busy" to answer simple questions, about the need for a new program to service the needs of new users like yourself.''

You personally made the judgment as to what I should have done in regard to your edit, without even the basic consideration as to what I was doing at the time, where I was, what I was doing, suggesting (as if to some adolescent) how it would have been "easier" (if only in your own personal opinion) to have done this or that, other than what I did.  This in spite of the fact a quick and easy reading of the guidelines would have told you why I reverted -- lack of source and date mistake. Like many users here, especially Mr. Schlafly and the other Admins, I am not always sitting at my personal machine, at home.

So, if I have a problem with your action(s), it is only that you were asking questions about my actions that you should have known the answers to had you done the right thing in reading the guides new users are expected to read BEFORE editing, and reversing my decision to move this conversation from where it properly belonged, and then acting as if/implying, that you are some injured party, or a victim of my being too busy.  I strongly suggest you read and understand this wiki encyclopedia operates under far different rules than any other, and for good and just reasons.  Being "new" doesn't exempy anyone, for any reason, from not reading our guides and rules BEFORE embarking on editing, because there isn't anything so desperately in need of changing that it could not wait until you familarized yourself with how we operate.

Now, once again, I ask you:  Fair enough?  --[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]<sub><small><small>/Admin</small></small></sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 14:58, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

(BTW, I've been having the same problems as Daniel, above, and haven't been able to edit for a few days.)

I have updated my talk page in response to your message.  You are correct in that people can't be expected to notice everything that goes on on other people's talk pages.  But there's a custom that "ping-pong" conversations are to be avoided.  So I don't know what the correct solution is.  In any case, go and look.  Also, you seem to be saying that my suggested changes to the math level templates can't be acted upon until they are posted here.  So here they are.  [[User:PatrickD|PatrickD]] 21:33, 15 August 2009 (EDT)

::Template:  Are you saying you like the idea of the templates but not the chosen format, with an illustrative equation on the left and the text on the right?  Or you like the format, but not that particular equation?  I like the format, and I think the first 3 equations (E, M, and H) are fine, but I think the "A" equation is over the top.  In any case, do you want me to come up with another "H" equation, preferably one that doesn't use primes, so I'll stop grousing about it?  [[User:PatrickD|PatrickD]] 23:59, 17 July 2009 (EDT)

::OK, here are some suggested replacement templates for H and A.  I'm not sure whether "that one" meant H or A.  For reference, here are the existing E, M, H, and A:
::{{Math-e}}
::{{Math-m}}
::{{Math-h}}
::{{Math-a}}

::I think some elementary calculus formula, like the derivative of the sine, is the right thing for H.  So here's one suggestion that just gets rid of the invisible prime character:

::Another one that would be good for H, at about the same educational level, would involve series:

::I think the existing A template is overboard.  It refers to a conjecture that has never been proven!  Here's a replacement that I think is appropriate, based on MarkGall's work on the [[fundamental group]]:

I'm not objecting to this deletion; in fact, I agree with it. But just out of curiosity, what is your/Conservapedia's definition of "encyclopedic"? I ask because I was trying to find it yesterday in the commandments, guidelines etc. and could not. Thanks, [[User:ChrisFV|ChrisFV]] 12:22, 20 November 2009 (EST)

:As conservatives we don't need to codify (like Wikipedia does) each and every eventuality, as we prefer to use common sense. The "article", such as it was, wasn't entirely incorrect, but it was not 100% correct either. The bread isn't indigenous only to Pakistan, but rather to most of the entire South Asia area.  Given the originator of the article, and early contributors, I surmised their intent wasn't good, and simply deleted it.  

:To add food stuffs, individually, serves what purpose aside from clutter and pop culture?  Should a serious project have a "Beef" article, or individual articles on "Pot Roast", "Porterhouse Steak" and "Round Steak"?  Should we have a general article on "Grass" or several dozen entries for each and every hybrid and type of grass?  In my judgment, creation of dozens of stubs on such examples is non-encyclopedic.

== HurricaneTornado ==

Hi, TK.  I just wanted to ask about your block of Hurricanetornado.  This user hasn't made any edits, so why not just block him with "please re-create your first name and last initial?" and leave account creation open?  Perhaps he came here, fed up with Wikipedia bias (as many of us did), but wasn't aware of our username policies.  Should his block setting be changed to "pleace re-create..." with account creation enabled? [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 22:01, 22 November 2009 (EST)

== Thanksgiving edit ==

Hi TK,

Sorry, but your edit on the Thanksgiving page is incorrect. As someone who is currently living in Canada, I can tell you with 100% certainty that Thanksgiving is a national holiday (See this site from the government of Canada: [http://www.pch.gc.ca/pgm/ceem-cced/jfa-ha/index-eng.cfm]) I appreciate that you're trying to prevent an edit war, but this page is now factually incorrect. I felt that my last edit was a good compromise. Can you please revert your edit or add your own? [[User:EMorrissey|EMorrissey]] 17:08, 26 November 2009 (EST)

:No, sorry, it is you who are not correct. What do you think a true, national holiday is?  It isn't one that isn't recognized by the entire nation, just part of it, thats for sure.  And given the date that Canada established its Thanksgiving, it wasn't something unique, never done before, as the U.S. had already established its holiday by then.  Therefore Thanksgiving remains a uniquely American holiday, no matter how many other countries established a like-named holiday afterwards.  CP still recognizes the Canadaian holiday by that name in several places. --[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]<sub><small><small>/Admin</small></small></sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 19:04, 26 November 2009 (EST)

Heya.  Andy gave me blocking right when the brainless Colbert groupies were piling up. I really wasn't expecting him to do that.

[[User:Jinxmchue|Jinx McHue]] 15:26, 29 November 2009 (EST)

:::That is exactly why you have blocking, Jinx, for the Mindless Vandals.

However BertSchlossberg has reworked the entire article so that not much of the original remains, and given his major contributions to CP, he deserves better than to simply have it deleted without comment or a chance to discuss your objections.

== Climategate ==

TK, may I ask your reason for reverting my edit on [[Climategate]] [http://conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Climategate&diff=734765&oldid=734726 here]? I moved the Al Gore image to the media section because Climategate is not specifically about Al Gore, though he has been a focus of some media coverage. Because Climategate is primarily about Global warming, I think it's more appropriate that the other image be used for the introduction. Otherwise, if there is an image not yet uploaded to Conservapedia which uses the word "Climategate" in the picture, that might be a better option. For these reasons I have changed it back because Al Gore is not the main focus of the article and in placing him as an introductory image could only distract from the primary message on Climategate. Hopefully this makes sense. [[User:DerekE|DerekE]] 19:42, 18 December 2009 (EST)

:First and foremost, DerekE, this is not a "mobocracy" like Wikipedia, so it is never appropriate for an editor to change the additions made by an Administrator (exceptions being grammar and spelling corrections, etc.). Secondly, and ancillary to the first, you might wish to read up [http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:Administrators#Duties_and_Authority HERE] on what Admins here are charged with. After reading our rules I believe you will understand why your edits were reverted.  Thirdly, "Climategate" isn't mainly about Global Warming, it is mainly about [[liberal deceit]] and there is no greater practitioner of it than Al Gore.

:Your appropriate action to take is to first post to the Administrators talk page or use the send email link to the left, and make your case, make your suggestion(s) or express your concerns. If an Administrator took the time to revert someones edits, you should consider that in, and of itself, to be a direction that the addition was unacceptable, and not risk being blocked by reverting them.  I hope I have answered your questions fully, and you will find my advice helpful.

==Ann Coulter==

Thank you for the welcome.  I recently noticed that your website listed Ann Coulter as one of the top conservatives of the decade.  I also found Ann Coulter to be a significant person when I began to write about her on Wikipedia, shortly after her second book. (I have contributed substantial amounts of writing to about 40% of the sections listed on her Wikipedia webpage.)  But I didn't anticipate her ability to speak freely and her native wit would eventually place her significance even above many national political officials with her political persuasion.

As a consequence of being one of the first to do research on Ann Coulter for the World Wide Web, I discovered a number of subtleties of experience and thought that informed her actions, actions which were often reported with little regard to shedding light on her thinking, when they were not deliberately reported in such a way as to attempt to do as much damage to her reputation as possible.

Since your site has honored Ann Coulter with this mark of significance, I thought it might be appropriate if I added some of these subtleties of motive to the Ann Coulter article here in the course of describing some of her significant actions (not to the point of defensiveness, however).  I can prove I wrote them on Wikipedia, if necessary, through the use of the Wikiblame tool along with an admin here who can do a checkuser for an IP address on my user name.

I wanted to consult with an Admin here before proceeding to edit a high-visibility article, however.  If you want to see some of my work, I did most, but not all, of the Paula Jones section on the Wikipedia Ann Coulter article, which despite the deterioration of the punctuation by others, gives a good example of my writing.
