*''Primary'': Go over the chemistry category again, this time book in hand. Expand entries as needed.
+
*I am a [[libertarian]], and very much so!
−
*''Secondary'': Fill in some chemistry-related [[user:HelpJazz/chemredlinks|red links]]

−
*''Tertiary'': Work on reorganizing / cleaning up chemistry articles.
+
**Feel free to ask me about my positions. I love talking politics with open-minded, rational people
−
*''Quaternary'': Next project: collect and clean up stray chemistry articles which aren't correctly categorized.<br />
+
*In 2008 I graduated from [[Bucknell University]] with a [[bachelor of science]] degree in [[chemical engineering]]. Now I'm a financial analyst at a commercial door company.

#Noncontroversial edits are ''usually'' ok
 +
#I will always follow the [[Conservapedia:Guidelines|Guidelines]] and [[Conservapedia:Commandments|Commandments]] (G&C)
 +
#I will attempt to make all articles follow the G&C, and encourage other editors to do likewise
 +
#Essay pages are opinion
 +
#Mainspace pages are fact

#''No [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User:Aziraphale/Tilting_at_Windmills&oldid=296120 tilting at windmills]!

#I will not treat someone's work differently because of their "status"; this is a community project
 +
#I will not revert anything added to a talk page, unless a user swears or edits another user's words

#The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a new result

*I am a [[libertarian]], and very much so!
+
(In no particular order)
−
**Actually, I'm a social and economic [[conservative]]. The difference between me and most conservatives is not what I believe, but where I think the government should step in for my beliefs.
+
#Plagiarism is the use of another's words as one's own without giving proper credit. This is true even if you "paid for it" and have permission to use it
−
*I support [[Ron Paul]] for Republican Presidential nominee
+
#Selected examples do ''not'' prove a trend. If you want to show that "most people do X" by example, you can never prove your point with examples
−
**Barring that, I will most likely support the [[Libertarian Party]] candidate
+
#Don't use "literally" if you mean "figuratively". Don't use "literally" if there's no figurative way to take what you say.
−
**Barring ''that'', I will most likely support the [[Republican Party]] candidate... but that's still a ways away
+
#Improper use of political lables. "Conservative" may, in most cases, be the opposite of "liberal", but there are numerous other ideologies which don't line up on a 1-dimentional scale!
 +
#Improper use of numbers! (P(BC|Ab)>P(BC|P) does not imply that P(BC|Ab)>P(BC)!!)
 +
#"Ironic" means that something happened opposite to what you expect to happen. A woman getting hit and killed by a sugar truck is sad. A diabetic woman getting hit and killed by a sugar truck is coincidence. A diabetic woman getting hit and killed by an ''insulin'' truck is ironic.
 +
#Finding "please add more" on a wiki page. For one, lists rarely make a good article (and often contribute to pet peeve #2); additionally, all wikis are works in progress, so there's always an implied assumption to add more to an article.
 +
#More to come <!-- now *that* is ironic humor -->
