WELCOME BACK!!! --[[User:Joaquín Martínez|Joaquín Martínez]] 08:01, 16 August 2011 (EDT)
:¡Hola Joaquín, mi amigo! Gracias por el saludo. Espero que usted y su familia están bien. I deleted my facebook several months ago, but I still have you on Twitter. I have missed viewing your wonderful artwork contributions here. Thanks again, it's nice to see you here too! [[User:Taj|Taj]] 08:45, 20 August 2011 (EDT)
==Vandal==
Greetings and a thousand thank you's--[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 13:26, 17 September 2011 (EDT)
:No problem. I only wish I had caught it sooner. Thanks for reverting the rest of the vandalisms (you are faster than me). [[User:Taj|Taj]] 12:18, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

:Thanks! I'm always interested in hearing good songs. :-) [[User:Taj|Taj]] 15:28, 15 October 2011 (EDT)
== [[Lisa Marie Presley]] ==
Thank you for editing this article! I appreciate any edits to the Elvis Presley series I started. I've been busy with some of the articles on her father, and have "neglected" her article so to speak.--[[User:JamesWilson|James Wilson]] 21:47, 29 January 2012 (EST)
:Just added a bit, always looking for something interesting to edit that I know a little bit about. :-) [[User:Taj|Taj]] 22:03, 29 January 2012 (EST)
== Block? ==
Apparently you took the following action relating to my account:
:14:23, 4 February 2012, Taj deleted "User:RolandPlankton" (Vandalism / parody).
I'm just wondering why.
I believe that 4 February 2012 was when I first registered on Conservapedia. My user name was chosen in accordance with CP Guideline: "As a sign of good faith and accountability it is recommended that editors select a user name based on a permutation of their real name.". Certainly my son was instantly able to recognise my user name as referring to me. [[User:RolandPlankton|RolandPlankton]] 10:10, 22 March 2012 (EDT)
:Hello, thanks for the question, I looked into it. Please refer to this log: [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=Taj&page=&year=&month=-1 Deletion Log] for explanation. It appears that on Feb 4, 2012, your User page and talk page were caught in a wave of vandalization along with several other users pages, and since you were a new user, and I, a new admin, apparently I deleted the page as opposed to reverting the offending edits. This had the effect of removing the edits in their entirety, so you were then able to recreate your own User page yourself. The action didn't substantially affect your page, however, I would probably choose to simply revert the edits if I were faced with this same situation today, with a little more experience as an Admin. I hope this clears up the matter, and apologize for any confusion created by this. Thank you for your continued contributions to Conservapedia! Blessings, [[User:Taj|Taj]] 12:50, 22 March 2012 (EDT)
::Thanks for your prompt reply. [[User:RolandPlankton|RolandPlankton]] 15:39, 22 March 2012 (EDT)
== A woman's right to choose ==
Please see my response to your comment explaining why you reverted my edit. Hopefully my rephrasing is acceptable. [[User:Gregkochuconn|Gregkochuconn]] 22:02, 13 September 2012 (EDT)
==A serious Biblical matter==
Aschlafly wrote the essay [[Mystery:Did Jesus Write the Epistle to the Hebrews?]]. This wouldn't have been to problematic, but now he puts his outlandish idea into an article in the main space ([[Epistle to the Hebrews]]). First he wrote:
{{cquote|"The [[Epistle to the Hebrews]] is the nineteenth book of the [[New Testament]], and one of the greatest mysteries in all of intellectual history: the authorship of this brilliant work is unknown, and '''the most plausible theory is that Jesus himself wrote or dictated it.'''"}}
[[User:Iduan]] toned this down somewhat, so that we read at the moment:
{{cquote|"The [[Epistle to the Hebrews]] is the nineteenth book of the [[New Testament]], and one of the greatest mysteries in all of intellectual history: the authorship of this brilliant work is unknown, and '''one plausible theory is that Jesus himself wrote or dictated it'''."}}
I couldn't find any Biblical scholar who shares this idea, I couldn't find any authorative figure who promotes this - and this isn't much of a surprise if you read the epistle for yourself! The only "scholar" who has proposed this "theory" in the last 2000 years is Andrew Schlafly.
I tried to delete this sentence, and then I tried to make it clear that this idea is a personal insight by Andrew Schlafly. My edits were reverted: any reader of this encyclopedia gets the impression that this theory is something commonly known or well discussed. That's utterly untrue.
I tend to be quite strict on Biblical matters - I'm often accused of being nitpicky. As one of the sysops of Conservapedia who was active in 2012 I ask you to weigh in on this problem: maybe it is just me and most of the of you and your fellow sysops think that it is acceptable to present an insight of a single person '''in a Biblical matter''' (an insight shared by virtually no one) as a plausible theory. But - as the title of this section indicates - for me this is a very serious matter.
--[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] 19:24, 25 November 2012 (EST)
:Hi AugustO. Thank you for your comments. I apologize for not seeing this and responding earlier, but I am not at Conservapedia every day, being extra busy recently with work/school/life matters. I respect the fact that you care deeply about this matter; it's when people do care about the accuracy and validity of the information contained in the Wiki that it makes the project better and more reliable. So I commend you on wanting things to be as accurate as possible. However, unfortunately I don't know much about this subject matter, and couldn't even begin to formulate an informed opinion on it, so I am of no help whatsoever, sad to say. I would suggest you communicate directly with the person who made the edits, in this case apparently ASchlafly, about your concerns, and hopefully you will be able to discuss and come to some sort of resolution. I am sorry I am not able to be of any help in this, I hope you are able to work it out to your satisfaction. Thank you for your continued interest in Conservapedia. Best Wishes, [[User:Taj|Taj]] 17:01, 29 November 2012 (EST)
::No apology necessary: thank you for taking the time to answer to my comment! --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] 04:45, 30 November 2012 (EST)
==Essay on Weddings==
If you had not deleted the page, I am sure it would have turned into quite an interesting collection advice for couples that are planning to be married. [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 13:52, 15 December 2012 (EST)
:I am assuming you are joking :-) about the page created by a spammer. If you are in fact serious, the reasons it was deleted: it was created by a spammer, who posted links to external sites, and was not labeled as an "essay" and had no place in the main space. If you do think we need an essay on wedding planning, you can create one (without external spam links) and label it as an essay. However I do think there are many more important articles that people can spend their time creating. Thanks, [[User:Taj|Taj]] 13:57, 15 December 2012 (EST)
==Dead-end Page Help==
[[User:Taj|Taj]], I posted this on [[User_talk:Aschlafly]] but wanted to post it here for you too...
Sorry for the delay, I just saw your offer. I don't have any special process in place, I just go to the list '''(edit console->special pages->Dead-end pages or [http://conservapedia.com/Special:DeadendPages Here] if you prefer a direct route)''' and click on the first option that I can edit and add some internal links to existing pages. Any help you (or anyone else) wants to offer would be more than appreciated. Maybe you could start at the back end of the list and work your way forward so we meet in the middle? I'm open to any suggestions you might have. Thanks, [[User:Fnarrow|Fnarrow]] 16:18, 17 April 2013 (EDT)
:Hi again, it looks like you've done a lot of work there already, but let me know if you would still like assistance. Thanks, [[User:Taj|Taj]] 18:29, 21 April 2013 (EDT)
I'd like magical protection from the block that will inevitably be coming my way for opposing [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] and [[User:Karajou|Karajou]]... is that something you can make happen? lol. That block is going to greatly decrease my ability to remove Dead-end pages. Carry on my legacy after I'm gone! [[User:Fnarrow|Fnarrow]] 22:01, 21 April 2013 (EDT)
::Well, I don't have a magic wand to wave and make everything right for everyone in the world, I sure wish I did. :-) I don't think you will be blocked for stating a difference of opinion, as long as you remain respectful. Personally, I tend to avoid getting involved in conflicts between editors, simply because that is the nature of a wiki, or any online forum. There are going to be people who disagree with each other. There are going to be people who feel they have been treated unfairly, and they may have been in some cases, there are going to be hurt feelings, anger, annoyance... this will happen. But it happens so often and to such an extent that I just don't feel that I can spend what little time I have available for online activities in trying to referee or participate in the inevitable conflicts that arise between people. It just happens too often, and it's useless to get involved. Even when it happens to me, I tend to just say oh well, time to move on. This is an attitude change I've had from several years ago, which has come about gradually. I used to be more passionate about things, but these days I've come to the realization that it really doesn't matter all that much. I like you and I do feel that you have been helpful to the project and would like to see you stay and contribute some more. So I hope you can resolve whatever issues you've been experiencing. Take Care, [[User:Taj|Taj]] 02:51, 22 April 2013 (EDT)
== Lifeway Christian Stores ==
Hi, just a question. Do you think that the article [[Lifeway Christian Stores]] looks a bit like an advertisement at the present point in time ? If so would you be able to un protect it, so it could be improved upon as I very much doubt that conservative will. However a more reasonable user such as yourself may be inclined to do so. Do you know my about [[Lifeway Christian Stores]]? [[User:Dvergne|Dvergne]] 02:36, 27 April 2013 (EDT)
:It appears that User:Conservative already unprotected the page. I added an external link (I found out that they have 122 locations), an internal link to get it off the "dead-end pages" list and moved it to the correct spelling of the name. Thanks, [[User:Taj|Taj]] 19:19, 27 April 2013 (EDT)
==Categories==
Thanks for placing category tags on many small articles I've started. Thinking up categories is not easy for me, so I appreciate it when someone else can do that for me.
Teamwork, yay! :-) --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 10:50, 30 April 2013 (EDT)
:No need for thanks, it's my pleasure. :-) I enjoy editing the wiki. However, it is nice to find a good comment has been left on my talk page, and I really appreciate it when someone takes the time to acknowledge my efforts, so thank you! I was going through the "uncategorized pages" list, adding what I could here & there, and I actually prefer finding small articles - they are easier to read than a lengthy page, and often they are about subjects I don't routinely read, so it exposes me to new ideas, and makes me thoughtful about a variety of matters. That's a good thing! Regards, [[User:Taj|Taj]] 18:11, 30 April 2013 (EDT)
== [[Greek painting]] ==
Thanks!!! --[[User:JMR10|Joaquín Martínez]] 18:56, 30 April 2013 (EDT)
:Hi Joaquín, so nice to see you again! :-) de nada... I love your painting pages, please keep up the good work! Blessings, [[User:Taj|Taj]] 19:01, 30 April 2013 (EDT)
