I sent a message to the powers that be on the Tigers official website about the fan-use of their logo yesterday.  I should get an answer shortly, and I'm thinking that they allow it; this reasoning is based on official fan-sites which support a positive image of the Tigers.  If it's a yes, then the same rule may apply for the Yankees...so get to writing them!  [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 10:32, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

====the bad news====
 +
This came in my email from Ron Wade, an official from the internet side of the Detroit Tigers website:
 +
:''"I'm sorry, but use of our marks or logos on the internet is prohibited. Major League Baseball Advanced Media has exclusive internet rights to MLB team marks and logos. The only exceptions are news gathering and reporting sites and only if the use of the logo is in conjunction with box scores or game summaries. (ESPN, Fox Sports, etc.)"''
 +
 +
So that means no one can use a baseball logo as a fan on a website.  Both your's and mine are different enough to get away with it, but Juaquin's is not.  [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 18:52, 25 April 2007 (EDT)
 +
 +
Okay, I'd better remove a couple of sports logos off of my page knowing that now. It's probably safe enough, but I'd rather err on the side of caution. [[User:DanH|DanH]] 18:58, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

== An idea to build more internet traffic to conservapedia ==
 +
 +
Wikipedia gives the top 1,000 articles for its website as can be seen here: http://hemlock.knams.wikimedia.org/%7Eleon/stats/wikicharts/index.php?lang=en&wiki=enwiki&ns=articles&limit=1000&month=04%2F2007&mode=view 
 +
 +
I think we might be able to drive more http://www.google.com and other traffic to Conservapedia if we make the following articles at Conservapedia better based on the first 100 or so most popular articles at Wikipedia:
 +
 +
-  [[United States]]
 +
 +
-  [[Columbine High School massacre]]
 +
 +
-  [[World War II]]
 +
 +
-  [[Global warming]]
 +
 +
-  [[World War I]]
 +
 +
-  [[Adolf Hitler]]
 +
 +
- [[Battle of Thermopylae]]
 +
 +
- [[Canada]]
 +
 +
- [[William Shakespeare]]
 +
 +
- The [[Holocaust]]
 +
 +
- [[Abraham Lincoln]]
 +
 +
- [[Jesus]]
 +
 +
- [[Vietnam War]]
 +
 +
- [[China]]
 +
 +

'''What do you think about starting a Conservapedia improvement drive for these articles?'''  Clearly these are serious subjects that people are interested in based on Wikipedia statistics.  Therefore, I believe from a strategic point of view in regards to creating internet traffic to Conservapedia it makes a lot of sense to start a improvement drive in regards to these Conservapedia articles.  [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 22:56, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

== Why did you delete my page? ==
 +
 +
I worked hard on that article, why did you delete it? --[[User:Protocletos|Protocletos]] 15:34, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
 +
 +
: What if you restored it, and I worked some more on it? Obviously I had not completed it, it is simply convenient for me to work on articles small parts at a time. --[[User:Protocletos|Protocletos]] 15:48, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
 +
 +
:: Well, which pieces were "said pieces"? I assume you mean the examples, which are vital to the article. If they were not there it would be infintely harder and more tedious to explain what exactly a "Your mum" joke is, and the end result would be just as offensive. (And I fail to see how the jokes could be taken as offensive when they are not directed at anyone.)
 +
 +
::: Fair enough, you're the boss, I suppose.--[[User:Protocletos|Protocletos]] 15:56, 2 May 2007 (EDT)
 +
 +
:::: Apologies, by boss, I just meant someone whose rank was superior to mine. I agree with what you say and will do my best to clean up the article if you restore it.
 +
 +
== User page in main space category ==
 +
 +
Typically, it is considered good wiki style to not include user pages in main space categories.  You have your user page in [[:Category:Anti-secular humanist]].  Would you consider either removing that or moving it to a User category name space? --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 17:16, 17 May 2007 (EDT)
 +
 +
: I am refering to [[User:David R]] - not [[User talk:David R]].  These are probably included from templates.  --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 16:33, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
 +
 +
== Perhaps you could help me out a bit ==
 +
 +
I was writing up a draft dodging article, andd linked out to your Alvin York article. I have written that York changed his mind about filing for CO, your article basically says he was sent despite it. I just do not know the truth, and may have been influenced by Hollywood in my version, so if you are certain or have a good souce, I will be glad to conform my article and resolve the discrepancy. If you get a moment, please get back to me on this. Thanks very much.

==Theory and practice==
 +
 +
Hi, David. I liked what you said [] about theory and practice. I read a couple of university-level textbooks on Communism, and I daresay you are "dead on" about the consistency of theory and practice.
 +
 +
The inconsistency, of course, is between the political promises made to the "working class" before each revolution. [[Andrew Wilson]] wrote ''[[Communism: Promise and Practice]]'' about that.
 +
 +
But the idea of lying to people to get their support is by no means inconsistent with Communist theory, which adopts an [[ends justify the means]] philosophy. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 23:09, 4 January 2008 (EST)

:::::I'm almost curious enough to not block him for a while to see what he actually has to say. Since this "intelligent matter theory" only seems to exsist in his head, I'm curious what it is. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 00:08, 1 February 2008 (EST)

::::::He's an obvious parodist - he said on the mastectomy page that the cancer was a result of sin - I'm not letting that guy stay unblocked for any amount of time.

::::::::Yeah. Must be really bored to add the same thing every couple of weeks. He obviously knows it won't stay if it gets reverted every time. [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 00:14, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Well, I truly would like to stay and see this vandal out the door, but it is late here and I have some work to do in the morning.  I will be back tomorrow.  Goodnight.  --[[User:David R|<font color="#0092FF">David R</font>]][[User talk:David R|<sup><font color="#FFCC00">talk</font></sup>]] 00:18, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Hey David- I'm reverting your Examples of Bias in CP edit because your removal of words just didn't make sense - like you would leave sentences without endings, I'll re-add the point you made though--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 14:08, 1 February 2008 (EST)

:Thanks, I was just about to ask someone to do that.  My computer automatically removes words that it finds offensive.  Very sorry :(.  --[[User:David R|<font color="#0092FF">David R</font>]][[User talk:David R|<sup><font color="#FFCC00">talk</font></sup>]] 14:09, 1 February 2008 (EST)

::Oh not a problem - although you might want to find a way to turn off that setting - especially if your editing that article or history articles (I noticed one of the removals was "KKK" (spelled out)).--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 14:12, 1 February 2008 (EST)

Does Conservapedia use an IRC channel for discussion? I am used to this based on my contributions to Wikipedia. --[[User:Chevrefuqae|Chevrefuqae]] 21:54, 26 February 2008 (EST)
