−
Good morning User:Karajou and User:Conservative.
 
−
Please unblock my dedicated IP address of __________.
 
−
 
 
−
I have been enjoying editing and contributing to Conservapedia (my
 
−
favorite source for Conservative viewpoints-news-knowledge).
 
−
However, early on after creating my user account
 
−
(User_talk:TheAmericanRedoubt) my dedicated ISP address of
 
−
________________ was blocked and I was forced to sign up for a VPN-
 
−
Proxy in order to even see the site. I get a "Error 118
 
−
(net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out."
 
−
 
 
−
No one else at my ISP uses my IP address since I pay extra each
 
−
month to have it dedicated to just me.  I have been with that ISP
 
−
since Dec. 2013.
 
−
 
 
−
I would love to continue working on content. For now, as I peruse
 
−
each article of interest, I just correct spelling errors-typos and
 
−
adding hyperlinks or See Also as appropriate based on
 
−
Conservapedia:Quick_reference and
 
−
Conservapedia:Editing_article_and_talk_pages until I can slowly
 
−
establish to you administrators my sincerity and respect for this great resource.
 
−
 
 
−
Thank you in advance for unblocking my address.
 
−
God bless.

Sincerely,

== Communist Party USA ==
 
−
 
 
−
Hello,
 
−
 
 
−
I noticed that you added [[:Category:Communist Party USA]] to several pages.  Please bear in mind that [[Conservapedia:Commandments|Conservapedia Commandment #1]] applies to categories, and take special care to ensure that the categories of articles about living people do not include defamatory or unsourced content.  Thanks, [[User:GregG|GregG]] 20:36, 3 November 2014 (EST)

Hi, I see you are interested in doing administrative tasks, so would you please help us to de-orphan all Lonely pages from [http://www.conservapedia.com/Special:LonelyPages here]?--[[User:JoeyJ|JoeyJ]] 14:44, 1 December 2014 (EST)
 
−
 
 
−
Sure JoeyJ, I'd be happy to help. Any guidelines? I searched under Conservapedia:Orphan_pages but couldn't find anything. Should I base my work on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Orphan_pages as generic advice? [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt|TheAmericanRedoubt]] 14:58, 1 December 2014 (EST)

:Thank you! Just take an article from [[Special:LonelyPages]] and link to it from another article.

==Red Links==
 
−
 
 
−
The proliferation of red wikilinks in your edits reminds me of the Walrus and the Carpenter:
 
−
:''The walrus and the carpenter were walking close at hand,''
 
−
:''They wept like anything to see such quantities of sand.''
 
−
:''"If seven maids with seven brooms swept for half a year,''
 
−
:''Do you suppose," the walrus said, "that they could get it clear?"''
 
−
:''"I doubt it " said the carpenter, and wept a bitter tear.''
 
−
 
 
−
:I have tended to sweep up after me the links I have generated in my 200odd thousand words of edits here. Who has the job of sweeping up the multiple links you are throwing around with gay (ahem) abandon? I think you should start sweeping, boyo, because, from bitter experience, I know no one else is going to do it. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 22:29, 10 December 2014 (EST)

===Article Creation for Red Links===
 
−
Thank you Alan for your concerned advice and great Walrus and Carpenter quote. Being an [[amateur radio]] ham operator, I have a lot of articles on that I have been working on and will be pasting them in soon. The amateur radio area has been a big source of my new "red links" for article wiki-links. Same thing in the area of economics-finance. I do indeed intend to sweep up after my red links.

== See also and Contrast ==

−
Although I am only very new here, I don't think your see also and contrast with sections look very nice or add much to the articles. Having such info in an popup box like they have on some wikipedia pages might be a better way to go. Phil [[User:PhilH|PhilH]] 02:43, 11 December 2014 (EST)

===Thanks - Popup Box Suggestion===

Hi Phil, thanks for the suggestion, I will look into doing a popup box nav bar instead. Thanks for the feedback. Welcome to Conservapedia. [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt|TheAmericanRedoubt]] 02:46, 11 December 2014 (EST)

'''NOTE to Fellow Editors and Admins:''' Over the next few days, I am working on a collapsible "See Also" navigation template for the diverse topics of the [[Internet security]] article I am also working on. The template will be based on the [[Template:Liberalism]] "look and feel" since it has a lot of topics in a small amount of "real estate". Also, please note that I plan to rapidly submit articles for the "red links". Thank you for your patience. [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt|TheAmericanRedoubt]] 12:10, 11 December 2014 (EST)

== Moved it back ==
 
−
I have "userfied" your material.  "Userfication" is the process of keeping drafts of one's material in a subpage of their own user or talk pages until it's ready to be moved into mainspace.  That (sort of) protects it from other people making "helpful edits" while one is working on it.  It will also be safer from vandalism, though I assume you know that vandalism is easy to revert, since material is preserved in a page's history, and that, in any case, you can keep a copy (as I always do) on your own computer.
 
−
 
 
−
The userfied page is here: [[User talk:TheAmericanRedoubt/sandbox1]].
 
−

The place to tell people about your experience in amateur radio, communications technology, computers, gardening, medicine, firearms, and survivalism is your own user page.

==Quote from PHIL on "wiki content" and "wikifying"==
 
−
"You should wikify your content and contributions. Some of the stuff you have been adding, like the parts of the walmart and grocery store sections i removed have no place on a wiki or online encyclopedia. Phil [[User:PhilH|PhilH]] 17:41, 15 December 2014 (EST)"

"A lot of the content you are adding seems to be rubbish, what is the point of adding new content if it rubbish? Phil [[User:PhilH|PhilH]] 17:51, 15 December 2014 (EST)"
 
−
 
 
−
== Response to PhilH ==
 
−
I respectfully yet strongly disagree with [[User:PhilH|PhilH]]'s comment on my User Talk Page and deletions of my contributions to [[Wal-Mart]] and [[Grocery store]] regarding "[[just in time|Just in Time]]" contributions and its ramifications. Conservatives are concerned much more than liberals with the stability of society and its [[systems of support]]. So, Just in Time is a key concept to understanding both the success and fragility of American retail and manufacturing.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
==My response to Phil's deletions of my Just in Time content and other statements==
 
−
I have re-added this content since the main business model of both Wal-Mart and Grocery stores are predicated on the [[Just in time]] or JIT delivery system. Without it, Wal-Mart or grocery stores would not exist in anything resembling their current form.
 
−
 
 
−
If you wish to show how this is inappropriate on a Conservative Wiki Encyclopedia, then please elaborate, Phil. I can give you examples of other encyclopedia's and article on the Internet that address this major component of the American retail system.

==== Awaiting Response from User:Conservative or other Sysops ====
 
−
Since I have been spending and will be spending a lot of time creating content and you, Phil, seem to think it is "rubbish" and revert my contributions without any talk page discussion on the actual article page, I will await [[Special:ListUsers&group=sysop]] guidance, from [[User:Conservative]] or others.
 
−
 
 
−
Phil, as you said since you are "very new here", I am curious also to see what actual useful content you will be adding to Conservapedia rather than deletions and reverts. [[Special:Contributions/PhilH]]

== re: tips about external links ==
 
−
 
 
−
Thanks for your recent contributions.
 
−
 
 
−
Two external link tips:
 
−
 
 
−
1. Avoid use of barelinks.
 
−
 
 
−
These are barelinks:
 
−
 
 
−
http://survivalblog.com/letter_re_one_year_food_supply_at_costco Letter
 
−
 
 
−
http://survivalblog.com/letter_re_costco_stores_as_a_s Letter
 
−
 
 
−
Instead format the links like this:
 
−
 
 
−
*[http://survivalblog.com/letter_re_one_year_food_supply_at_costco Letter Re: One Year Food Supply at COSTCO]
 
−
 
 
−
* [http://survivalblog.com/letter_re_costco_stores_as_a_s Letter Re: COSTCO Stores as a Source for Storage Food and Survival Gear]
 
−
 
 
−
2. Avoid mentioning the link was featured on the main page because people finding articles of yours via the search engines or though social media are not familiar with with our main page news feed. In addition, news becomes less newsworthy as time passes. 
 
−
 
 
−
Again, thanks for your recent contributions. We appreciate them. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 01:51, 16 December 2014 (EST)

−
=== Important note ===
 
−
 
 
−
50% of a web articles credibility by web visitors is determined by how it looks. It may not be fair, but people do judge a book by its cover.  Please do not use bare links.  In the "See also" section of this article [[Constitutional carry]], you have bare links. If you could please fix the formatting and not use bare links anymore, it would be appreciated. See discussion directly above about bare links. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 04:37, 18 December 2014 (EST)
 
−
::I fixed the first bare link in your template. Please fix the rest. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 04:43, 18 December 2014 (EST)

==Thanks for the Mentoring and Support==
 
−
Will do. Again, I appreciate the mentoring and support since, although I am very technical, I haven't done much Wiki editing in a large community context like Conservapedia. So, my over-enthusiasm may need to be reined in sometimes or at least given a format and guidelines. I have a lot of free time for the next 30 days while on sabbatical and spending many hours editing Conservapedia seems a good way to invest it to share my enthusiasm for the Conservative-Libertarian-Patriot-Prepper movement.  [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt|TheAmericanRedoubt]] 02:00, 16 December 2014 (EST)
 
−
 
 
−
== quick note ==
 
−
 
 
−
If you need help with how to do the edits in terms of formatting, I suggest two things:
 
−
 
 
−
1.  Look how other people did the formatting on other Conservapedia articles.
 
−
 
 
−
2.  Ask an admin such as [[User: Karajou]] and [[User: Aschlafly]] how to do various types of edits.
 
−
 
 
−
I am currently working on some projects and January I will be even busier, so unfortunately I can no longer be of assistance to you. Best wishes in your future editing. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 02:04, 16 December 2014 (EST)

I just wanted to be polite to you and explain something.  I deleted the Sacramento talk page because the editor who deleted the material was a liberal editor who formerly edited some time ago.

If you are likely posting to a talk page to someone who is no longer going to be working with you on the article, there is no need to use the talk pages.

::Thanks for the clarification. Makes sense he was a liberal since he seemed upset at what I was posting about gun control and I felt obligated to justify it to him since he thought I was posting "rubbish" (in his words) about gun control and Second Amendment so much.

re: [[Cato Institute]] [http://www.conservapedia.com/Cato_Institute#See_Also "See also" section] and other see also sections.
 
−
 
 
−
You are going to need to pare down your "See also" section additions. For example, the Cato Institute does not delve too much into Nazism.  The Cato Institute does not care about [[Fashion industry values]].  The Cato Institute is libertarian and not conservative. So they don't have a focus on combating San Francisco values. They don't care about small town values. In other words, they are not social conservatives.

−
Do you see my point? [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 01:06, 24 December 2014 (EST)
 
−
 
 
−
: Most definitely see your point. Those original See Also's were from a month ago when I was newer to Conservapedia and Wiki editing and was "getting carried away" making broad based See Also's. Other editors gave me the advice to keep it specific. Thanks for bringing it up again. As I slowly revisit my former edits to improve them, I will endeavor to remove my extraneous See Also's. The most recent Cato Institute edit I just made was one where I corrected a bad link I had made to the correct article spelling. Thanks again for the reminder and again, appreciate the Wiki mentoring. [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt|TheAmericanRedoubt]] 01:13, 24 December 2014 (EST)
 
−
::OK. Thanks. I am guessing that the Cato Institute attracts a wealthy crowd and they don't focus very much on preparedness. Most of their fanbase/audience probably has a diversified portfolio (land, stocks, gold, small business ownership, etc.).  So you will probably want to pare that part down too.

::::: Please better to stop the "Revert War" (unless it is by an American CP administrator) and instead make comments and suggestions on this talk page for editing the material. "[[Free state]]" is a big topic in the American Conservative, Libertarian and Christian circles. The old meaning of Antebellum south is rarely used except among historians. I would be willing to move some of it to an essay, however, the majority of it matches conservative values. Please discuss in a civil way without using words like hideous, offensive, etc like User:SamHB used for the previous revert.

Obviously I can't win against someone who probably sits at his computer for hours on end with an assault rifle beside him with one eye out the window just hoping that some one who is black or jewish or liberal will put a foot onto his property so that he can shoot them. What larks!! (Pip old chap))
 
−
I live in a free state. It's called Tasmania. About 18 years ago some unhinged bastard called Martin Bryant killed 30-plus people at the Port Arthur historic site an hour or two down the road. One of the victims was a friend of the family. Another was my children's school bus driver. Since then nothing similar has happened. Just the odd minor event because the Federal government of the day brought in gun control. It worked. Go onto the Net and check out Australia's gun crime statistics since 1996 compared to yours. Especially schools and colleges.
 
−
I can have a queue jumping altercation without worrying about being shot. Can you?

That Islamic prick that killed two in the Lindt cafe the other night in Sydney only killed two because all he could get was a shot gun. In America, if he lived in what you call a "free state", he could have got an assault rifle and sprayed the whole room in the twinkling of an eye.

:: 3. Thanks for the support on the picture upload rights. I would also like to put time into categorizing the pictures if that is useful.

"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>

'''NOTE to Fellow Editors and Admins:''' Happy New Year! Today, January 2, 2015 I am working very intensively-extensively on the [[Medicine]] and [[Disease]] categories, articles on the [[Complementary medicine]] called [[Ayurveda]] and its top 50 [[:Category:Medicinal Plants]] and on a collapsible "See Also" navigation template for the diverse topics of the [[Ayurvedic herbal medicine]] article I am also working on. The template is be based on the [[Template:Psychology]] "look and feel" since it has a lot of topics in a small amount of "real estate". Also, please note that I plan to rapidly submit articles for the "red links". I am a professional subject matter expert in this area since 1996.

I fail to see how numerous articles on Ayurvedic medicine belongs on a place like Conservapedia.

: No clinical evidence? Not according to the U.S. National Institute of Health and numerous conservatives (and medical doctors in the America who integrate modern medicine with complementary medicine) who rely on complementary medicine including Herbology, Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and Acupuncure. There are many conservatives blogs and forums that I follow that have regular articles on complementary medicine. Complementary/alternative medicine is not some liberal or New Age thing. It is even paid for by many insurance companies now and worker's comp in certain U.S. states. I will be submitting clinical evidence from MedLine  / PubMed for my articles.

===My Response to [[User:AugustO]] Regarding Ayurvedic - Chinese - Western Herbal Medicine on Conservapedia ===

−
 
−
Thank you for your patience with this detailed point-by-point response.
 
−

Like you AugustO, I too am a steadfast conservative, but on much more than just social and fiscal issues, as my thousands of conservative point-of-view Conservapedia edits can attest to (Please see my [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt]] for more information). Also like you AugustO, I too am very dedicated to Western medicine and work together with a medical doctor with a busy private practice office in a large hospital setting where he and I integrate both modern pharmaceutical based treatment and the use of custom made Ayurvedic-Chinese-Western herbal formulas, nutrition (based on Ayurvedia and Chinese medicine concepts) and acupuncture. He supervises my practice in that setting. Like you AugustO, both he and I also run away from the myriad "new age" medicine approaches. However, Ayurvedic medicine, Chinese medicine - Acupuncture and Western herbal medicine are not "new age". Ayurveda and Chinese medicine - Acupuncture have been in continuous use since at least 250 B.C. according to archaeological evidence and extant classic medical texts in both Chinese characters, Tibetan and Sanskrit (which I can read by the way in Devanagari script).
 
−
 
−
Conservapedia does indeed have the expertise and resources to cover Ayurvedic medicine and Chinese medicine - acupuncture properly since I am contributing as a dedicated regular editor and have joined the [[Wikiproject:Medicine]] to lend my ongoing support editing/categorizing ALL articles in the realm of medicine / anatomy in addition to my other subject matter expertise areas on my User Page / Talk Page.
 
−
 
−
[[User:PhilH]] has said there is no clinical evidence to support complementary medicine. Not according to the U.S. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine of the National Institutes of Health who funds clinical trials on herbal medicines effectiveness, not according to medical doctors in America who integrate modern medicine with complementary medicine, not according to numerous conservatives who rely on complementary medicine including Western herbalism, Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and Acupuncture. Just the fact that there is licensing for acupuncture in most of the U.S. states (majority of states require the licensing examination or certification, and several states allow oriental medicine practitioners to be "primary care providers" for legal and insurance purposes; nineteen states specifically include Chinese herbology instead of just acupuncture). For naturopathic medicine 17 states, five Canadian provinces, the District of Columbia, and the US territories of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands all have laws regulating naturopathic doctors (See map http://aanmc.org/images/LicensureMapBig.jpg -- even very conservative states such as my home state of Idaho in the [[American Redoubt]], along with Montana and Utah license naturopathy).
 
−
 
−
All of this attests to complementary medicine's broader acceptance, not to mention the size of the herbal market in the U.S. economy: For herbal medicine "overall sales reached $5.6 billion in 2012" "rising from $4.2 billion in 2000" (http://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Markets/Herbal-supplement-sales-rose-5.5-in-US-in-2012-ABC-says)
 
−
 
−
There are many conservatives blogs and forums that I follow that have regular articles on complementary medicine and herb usage. Complementary/alternative medicine is not some liberal, hippie or New Age thing. It is even paid for by many insurance companies now. There is worker's comp coverage for it in certain U.S. states.
 
−
 
−
Regarding evidence in my articles, I will indeed be submitting footnoted hyperlinked clinical evidence from MedLine  / PubMed.
 
−
 
−
Regarding the [[:Category:Ayurvedic Medicine]] having lots of sub-categories: There are many sub-categories in the Ayurvedic medicine category since it is a broad science including many diverse health and disease topics and since I am a very detail oriented person as you can see with my contributions for the firearms categorizations (which formerly were all lumped into just the Category of "Guns"). I am using that [[:Category:Ayurvedic Medicine]] and its temporarily numerous subcategories as a way of '''temporarily''' getting a broad view and tracking ability of ALL of the medicine-anatomy categories and articles in order to update them all over the coming months. I promise that will pare that category down in the next 60 days to something smaller once I have updated-edited-expanded '''ALL''' of the medicine/anatomy related articles to follow a consistent yet detailed categorization scheme. I always start first with detailed Wiki categories in order to flesh out the scope-breadth-depth and a logical structure for the articles I will submit. I am doing the same detailed categorization for Firearms and other areas.

[[User:Conservative]] has been "mentoring" me as to what I should and shouldn't post. I have been following this for guidance as well: [[Conservapedia:Editorial_authority]].

[[Radio communication technologies]] - [[Amateur radio]].  Being a staunch American conservative libertarian "prepper" [[gun enthusiast|"gun nut"]], I obviously write/edit from that perspective.
 
−
 
−
For these and many other reasons, I don't see a reason for Conservapedia to stay away from complementary medicine completely as you suggest AugustO.  Thus, I will continue to contribute such works to Conservapedia until I am told to stop by any of the CP Administrators such as [[User:Aschlafly]], [[User:Conservative]], or user [[User:Karajou]].

:When you do create articles, it is very important to avoid copying and pasting from other websites.  When we find that this has happened, we nominate the article for speedy deletion.  Instead of just deleting the speedy template, you should rewrite the article from multiple sources.  I can see that you have a lot of energy and wish to devote a great deal of time to Conservapedia.  However, you should first spend some time reading about Conservapedia's policies (see links at the top of the page) so as to avoid misunderstandings with other users.  Perhaps you should focus on perfecting one or two articles before making wide-spread changes.  Several users gave a great deal of thought to Conservapedia's category hierarchy, and it takes time for a new user to understand its structure.  Again, best wishes for the new year.

==Categories==
 
−
On a wiki, categories are like a big tree.  Each category can have subcategories.  Think of it like the branches and subbranches of a single tree. When a category like Fruit has subcategories like Apples and Oranges, you cannot make the main category Fruit a subcategory of Apples.  You have been making this mistake resulting in loops back on the big category tree destroying what editors have been working hard to perfect.
 
−
 
−
In theory, if you started at the base of the tree [[:Category:Everything]] and clicked through every subcategory and read every article, you would eventually read the entire Conservapedia in a somewhat logical order. Please try to respect and understand the work here that has been done in the past before you make radical changes. Thanks, [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 09:47, 4 January 2015 (EST)
 
−
 
−
:: Thanks again for the advice. Sometimes at first I have been thinking of Categories more as as "Back" and "Forward" navigation bar (but that is what browser "Back" button icon is for), but this isn't a good way of doing it once I thought about it. Although technical, I am not an experienced MediaWiki editor. Recently, when tired I began cutting and pasting from my MS Word document list of categories and doing what you mentioned about looping some categories I have been creating. I will endeavor to be aware of it and keep a more logical container type tree trunk-branch-leaf hierarchy. Again, I appreciate the clarification. [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt|TheAmericanRedoubt]] 10:20, 4 January 2015 (EST)
 
−
==Copyright==
 
−
Please try to listen to [[User:SamHB]], who has a valid concern about your approach.  When someone writes an article or book, he automatically receives a copyright in that work. The author can give the copyright away (like the CC license on Wikipedia), but unless you actually see such a permission to copy, you must assume that the author has kept his copyright or sold it to his publisher.
 
−
 
−
The copyright is very broad to protect the commercial value of the author's work.  It protects both the direct copying of the actual words and images and also the creation of "derivative works."  If I write, "Time flies like an arrow," my copyright covers derivative works like "Like an arrow, time flies."  If a CP editor copy and pastes a paragraph from another website or book onto a CP page, saves that page and then slightly rearranges a few of the sentences, the result is a "derivative work" that creates potential copyright problems for CP.  Because all versions of each article are kept forever, it is clear to prove that the CP article was derived from the other website or book.
 
−
 
−
What we ask our editors to do is: find two or more sources and then sit down and write original text that is not a derivative work of any one source.  Please add footnotes to the facts in your article that point back to these sources without copying them.  The order of the ideas and the sentences should be your creation and should be more than a derivation of someone else's writing.

::[[User:Wschact]], don't worry, I promise you I will not make the CPP site a big advertisement for Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Regarding your Tort law concerns, that is why I created [[Template:Medical_Notice]].

==User:Conservative OK on the Addition of Preparedness/Survivalism and Gun Articles on CP==
 
−
:::Thanks for creating a lot of new content. It is appreciated.
 
−
 
−
:::I think the preparedness/survivalism and gun articles could attract new conservative readers since those topics tend to be topics that are of more interest to conservatives rather than to liberals.  With the gun articles,  I think there is more competition on the internet for readers and in terms of existing content so those articles will especially need to be of high quality in order to attract readers.

:::Lastly, I am pushing myself on multiple fronts right now in terms of off wiki activity so my schedule is going to be chock-full for the forseeable future.  In addition, another editor using the User: Conservative account is in a very demanding field plus he just co-launched a new business so he will be very busy off wiki also.

==The Liberals smear campaign Won -- I now retire from editing Conservapedia==
 
−
I must say that the liberal smear campaign and relentless edits/deletions from 5 very loud CP liberal trolls / RINOs (besides the vociferous [[User:Wschact]], you know who you are and will be happy to know you have won) has been no fun. I am sad to say, it is much worse edit wars and liberal reverts than ''anything'' I contributed over the years to Wikipedia. Sorry [[User:Aschlafly]], [[User:Conservative]], [[User:Karajou]] and [[User:Jpatt]], but I have lost the enthusiasm to continue contributing to CP in the face of this much liberal opposition. Thank you 4 for what you do for the conservative movement. I strongly suspect that the frequent sock puppet hacker-vandalist accounts were [[User:Wschact]] or one his friends using a VPN since all the vandals edits were directed to things he was revert warring with me over. God bless. [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt|TheAmericanRedoubt]] 02:26, 9 January 2015 (EST)

"I also received advice from User:Karajou on Sat, 26 Apr 2014 23:15:17 by e-mail (conservapedia AT zoho.com) who said, "Try your hand at writing complete articles. Conservapedia is not just something containing conservative thought; it is also intended to be a family encyclopedia, so it has to have info on planes, trains, automobiles, animals, sports teams, camera systems, or whatever else comes to mind. So, if you happen to be an expert on - say, rowboats - write an article on rowboats. Karajou". Thus, following Karajou's advice above and oversight from User:Conservative, I am writing "whatever comes to mind" on what I "happen to be an expert on". Thus, I have be developing a lot of detailed articles and their categorizations for my 6 areas of specialization (in order of my depth of subject matter expertise): 1. Medicine, 2. Computer networks (17 years professional experience), 3. Preparedness-Survivalism, 4. Firearms, 5. Permaculture gardening, 6. Radio communication technologies - Amateur radio. Being a staunch American conservative libertarian "prepper" "gun nut", I obviously write/edit from that perspective."

Sadly, I no longer have the enthusiasm to contribute in the face of such ''''strong'''' opposition from 5 very vociferous liberal/RINO editors. It's more of an uphill battle than it was on Wikipedia, I am very disappointed to say. Godspeed in all you do.

===Inspired by Karajou and User:Conservative to Not Retire due to User:Wschact' Dogged Hounding===
 
−
Dear Admins Karajou and Conservative
 
−
 
−
My biggest concern, that finally '''temporarily''' "took the wind out of my sails" and prompted me to  '''temporarily''' retire as a contributor, is Wschact, who makes my Conservapedia contributions the subject of 72% of his edits over a 24 day period, as I will show below.
 
−
 
−
My biggest concern isn't SamHB who explained himself well here:http://www.conservapedia.com/User_talk:SamHB#.22Troll.22_Editing_by_User:SamHB_of_Numerous_articles_I_am_Working_on_.2F_Editing_.2F_Contributing, saying that "I promised that I would revert your things only once, and I mean it."
 
−
 
−
Nor is my concern AlanE's presumptuously slanderous race baiting comment here:
 
−
I first said to AlanE: "Please better to stop the "Revert War" (unless it is by an American CP administrator) and instead make comments and suggestions on this talk page for editing the material. "Free state" is a big topic in the American Conservative, Libertarian and Christian circles. The old meaning of Antebellum south is rarely used except among historians. I would be willing to move some of it to an essay, however, the majority of it matches conservative values. Please discuss in a civil way without using words like hideous, offensive, etc like User:SamHB used for the previous revert." TheAmericanRedoubt 02:57, 17 December 2014 (EST)
 
−
 
−
Alan rudely Ad hominem responded to me:
 
−
"Excuse the following...but I am cross, and Sam is I know to be a reasonable and intelligent man - and a friend.... Obviously I can't win against someone who probably sits at his computer for hours on end with an assault rifle beside him with one eye out the window just hoping that some one who is black or jewish or liberal will put a foot onto his property so that he can shoot them. What larks!! (Pip old chap)). I won't go on because I see you are like those I occasionally met in the old days in Outback pubs who felt naked without their firearms and were usually relieved of their ammunition before the publican would serve them a beer. Cheers mate." AlanE 04:06, 17 December 2014 (EST)" Source: http://www.conservapedia.com/Talk:Free_state
 
−
I decided to simply ignore AlanE since that was the last I heard of him.
 
−
 
−
What finally '''temporarily''' took the remaining "wind out of my sails" is Wschact’s almost month-long dogged efforts:
 
−
I assert that between December 16 and January 8, out of 179 edits made by Wschact, 129 concern either Wschact rapidly changing my edits soon after I complete them / reverting them or complaining to the Community/Admins about my contributions. That is to say, 72% of his edits over a period of 24 days are about my work. That is a good example of being tenaciously hounded by strong opposition.

−
Here http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:Desk/Miscellany#Interpretation_of_copyright_policy
 
−
Wschact doesn't even know the difference between 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge/ammunition and a "7.62x51mm NATO rifle" and hence wrongly insisting that the Admins move 7.62x51mm NATO to "7.62x51mm NATO rifle". And the so-called copyright issues he brings are been handled by MLA citations/references/bibliography and [[fair use]].

I made more than 1000+ small edits on CP for several months before contributing much of anything original to be sure that I got a feel for the actual format, content, categories, see also's, stubs or lack of stubs, politics, guidelines, etc.  I also wanted to make sure that my edits proved to the CP admins that I am sincere and trustworthy, not a troll or parodist. Then in late November when my sabbatical began I begin much more extensive CP contributions. That was when on December 16 I can on the Wschact radar scope.
 
−
 
−
I was asked by one JoeyJ (http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:TheAmericanRedoubt&oldid=1130110#Orphaned_Pages) to deorphan pages which I then began to do. But the edits I make to de-ophan them by adding them appropriately to a See Also or a wiki link within the article were getting frequently deleted by Wschact. This happened a lot. He would keep saying I am violating the CP policy.
 
−
 
−
Over the next few months while I am taking a sabbatical from my work, I have a lot of time/energy/knowledge to contribute to CP generating new content. Alas, at the moment I am feeling too harassed by their constant rapid nit-picking and having to 10/90 Talk Page explain my every step versus doing 90/10 actual article work. I've never experienced this before in an online Wiki or forum community, I am sad to say. Even on Wikipedia, I would get at least a few days to a week to perfect a short article or a contribution to one before the liberal vultures would swoop in to eat it up (if they did even). Because CP is a much smaller community of editors, they give me no time to improve upon my work before they come in and revert/delete. It's truly demoralizing/intimidating for a new editor. I don't know what else to say. I feel CP is an amazing voice for our American conservative movement, but I didn't know it would have so many fast-moving critics/deleters/reverters against anything I contribute in the realm of firearms or survivalism/preparedness articles. Yet they were against much on complementary medicine and amateur radio as well.
 
−
 
−
It's funny, the ONLY contributions of mine that the liberal/RINO editors didn't touch were the Buddhist articles. I think that is because most liberals like Buddhism. Although Catholic, I formally studied comparative religions and CP's Buddhist and Hindu articles are very slim at the moment, so I have much to add there as well. But again, at the moment, I am becoming "gun shy" with their liberal/RINO sights all aimed at me now, especially on http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:Community_Portal.

:Dear Andy: If TAR is saying that he is making a disproportionate amount (72%) of the problem edits that required correction, I am willing to accept his number, although I have no memory of first looking to see who was the originator of each problem.  The problem is that we have someone who does not understand CP style and policy seeking to add a massive amount of material that has a lot of copy and paste problems, including copy and pasting into many articles from a common set of "See also" references instead of writing new ones for each article.
 
−
 
−
:Karajou, Conservative and I have each suggested that TAR slow down and try to write complete articles instead of rushing through copy and pasted new stubs.  If TAR wants to "de-orphan" an article, perhaps he should add a sentence to a related article instead of plunk a link into the "see also" section of an unrelated article.  I would also suggest watching how TAR pipes his links.  A pipe should direct the reader to the article represented by the linked phrase, not to something different.
 
−
 
−
:Finally, I would suggest that Conservapedia would be better served by '''cooperation''' that combines our "talents", our "genius" and our "educational" backgrounds rather than having one person show blind "persistence" in the face of cautionary comments of others.

::I think the main reason why Wschact is bent out of shape about TheAmericanRedoubt is his material on traditional/alternative medicine. I pointed out that Japan is unique as a country because highly advanced modern Western medicine coexists with traditional Asian medicine.[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC516460/] The Japanese have a life expectancy that is 5 years greater than American's life expectancy. It seems reasonable to believe that thousands of years of trial and error has caused there to be some efficacy in traditional/folk medicine. I have found that turmeric/ginger works great to prevent/mitigate post workout soreness for example. It's a cheap and safe method too.  I realize that traditional/folk medicine has its problems and one has to exercise discretion, but so does Western medicine.

::The rhetorical trap is conflating anyone who disagrees with oneself as a "liberal".  It is a very common fallacy here at CP.  What you said about liberals may well be true, but the context suggests that you are applying it to the 5 people that TAR is complaining about.  (I assume the 5 are myself, Wschact, AugustO, PhilH, and AlanE.)  I don't think the things you said above about liberals apply to all of us.  We are not forcing out productive members; in fact, I have just been forced out, complete with extremely explicit block threats (above and below) by Cons.  Improving CP is not, and has never been, against my interests.

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 continue to encourage you to make contributions to Conservapedia in whatever substantive areas you think best.  However, I would suggest that you focus on one or two articles at a time instead of trying to create everything under a sense of urgency and time pressure.  You have said that you have a multi-month sabatical, so if you set a goal of producing one good article per day, that would be 60 article that you could view with pride and personal satisfaction.  It is obvious from watching you struggle with these templates that you are not an experienced template writer, so you might want to spend your time on creating articles instead of learning templates.

The interesting thing about CP is that the editors are mostly conservative Christians who come to this site motivated by a desire to share knowledge.  I see kindness and thoughtfulness in their words and deeds.  I am sure that you came here out of a spirit of sharing as well.  However, I think that we have drifted apart because the software and rules here are difficult to master and can lead to frustration.  When editors (including me) tried to lend a hand when you got sidetracked, you took it as an attack from some "liberal/RINO" instead of trying to understand what went wrong.
 
−
 
−
We need good, thoughtful articles. I previously pointed out [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ithaca_Gun_Company the Wikipedia article on the Ithaca Gun Company] as an example.  It is an article about a company that makes rifles in America, and it covers what most people would want to know about the company and its products.  That is what we need, and I hope you try writing those types of articles.  I am not trying in any way to force you into limiting yourself to eastern religions.  You can write about guns, or the Constitution or preparedness.  If you use a word that should have its own article but does not at this time, don't feel pressured into adding a one sentence article.  Instead, focus on finishing the article that you have started.  You are obviously well educated about a wide variety of topics, so it should be easy for you to pick something to write about.

TheAmericanRedoubt (TAR) creates a lot of content and his work is appreciated by the Admin community and has their full support.  Wschact your content is appreciated also.
 
−

Second, I contacted TAR about various matters such as: not creating additional ayurvedic medicine articles at this time, avoiding creating large "see also" sections, avoiding creating a lot of red links (AlanE was irked by this), and not creating a lot of stub articles.  TAR agreed to do all these things.
 
−
 
−
Third, Karajou, JPatt and I feel you are hounding TAR.  This must immediately stop. Please cease and desist doing this. It is also suspected that you may have others using your account to help you hound TAR. If true, this is unacceptable.

−
Fourth, considering that TAR has agreed to not create additional ayurvedic medicine articles which seems to have been the spark to start this wiki war, you need to meet him half way and stop hounding him. If you don't Karajou, JPatt and I will consult with the owner of CP and make sure that you do stop hounding him.

It being a "[[first strike]]" [[nuclear war]] target is mostly due to [[missile]] silos, [[bomber]] bases, [[submarine]] bases, and command and control (C2) centers. The enemy must neutralize these [[asset]]s immediately to prevent or minimize American nuclear or other military retaliation.

The arrogant and highly atheistic/secular French and French muslim situation is a volatile mix. The French atheist/muslim situation will probably get worse before it better.

The Ireland/Italian muslim situation seems a lot less volatile. I think the Irish/Italians (who tend to be more religious) are nicer and less arrogant then the atheistic/secularists French.[http://www.irishexaminer.com/viewpoints/columnists/victoria-white/it-is-frances-arrogant-secularism-that-is-the-truly-intolerant-religion-306959.html] And Ireland's Muslims are more highly educated.[http://www.irishexaminer.com/viewpoints/columnists/victoria-white/it-is-frances-arrogant-secularism-that-is-the-truly-intolerant-religion-306959.html]

In addition, judging from his radio mini-debates with theists, the Irish atheist [[Michael Nugent]] seems nicer and less abrasive than many prominent atheists/agnostics (see: [[Atheism and arrogance]]).

The secular/godless and evolution loving countries of Germany/France/UK who have sub-fertility rates are projected to be overrun by Muslims by 2030.[http://time.com/3670892/muslims-europe-map/]
 
−
 
−
I do know that a German Christian denomination that adheres to creationism is growing.
 
−
 
−
I think this is due to businesses having labor shortages and needing workers and the respective countries immigration policies and the countries wanting to support pensioners, but I could be mistaken.
 
−
 
−
In Switzerland, which is one of the most biblical creation loving countries of Europe and has more restrictive immigration policies, the proliferation of problem causing Muslims by 2030 is not projected to be an issue. Ireland does not appear to be projected to have a problem either (Perhaps it is because they are more religious than most Europe. The fertility rate of Ireland is 2.01 births per woman).
 
−
 
−
Of course, the projections of Muslims overrunning Germany/UK/France has the militant evolutionists/atheists/agnostics/secularists upset. For example, Richard Dawkins frequently mentions Muslims on his Twitter feed. If only these countries were more Christianity/creationism loving and had more children. All this unpleasantness with radical Muslims causing significant problems in their countries could be avoided.

“I argue that 97% of the world's population growth is taking place in the developing world, where 95% of people are religious.
 
−
 
−
On the other hand, the secular West and East Asia has very low fertility and a rapidly aging population. The demographic disparity between the religious, growing global South and the aging, secular global North will peak around 2050. In the coming decades, the developed world's demand for workers to pay its pensions and work in its service sector will soar alongside the booming supply of young people in the third world. Ergo, we can expect significant immigration to the secular West which will import religious revival on the back of ethnic change. In addition, those with religious beliefs tend to have higher birth rates than the secular population, with fundamentalists having far larger families. The epicentre of these trends will be in immigration gateway cities like New York (a third white), Amsterdam (half Dutch), Los Angeles (28% white), and London, 45% white British."[http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2013/04/97-of-worlds-population-growth-is.html]

Are you claiming that you didn't originally create an article called 'France Pays Dearly - Gun Control Laws and Gun Free Zones that Welcome Terrorists' in which you made outlandish and childish claims that you couldn't substantiate.

So, given the understanding that my block has now expired, I'd like to discuss it with you. The short version is, I did give reason for removing the extra, and ample one at that. In [[Talk:Seung-Hui Cho#Re-Added Category:Gun Free Zones Removed by User:IHop]] I explained that Seung-Hui Cho performed his massacre ''in'' a gun free zone, not ''because of'' a gun free zone, and that he, himself is ''not'' a gun free zone. [[Virginia Tech shootings]] would be an accurate place for the Category:Gun free zones tag, but not the shooter himself.

In response to my second removal, wherein I justified my position, you blocked me for "Removing justified Category tags 2x without documenting why - trolling - sockpuppet for liberal troll?"

I was not "trolling," nor am I a "sockpuppet for [a] liberal troll"
