+You are a loser.
-== Account promoted ==
-I've enjoyed your edits, and your blog, and just added some new rights to your account.  Please let me know if any additional rights, such as the ability to do early-morning editing, would be helpful.
-The recent upgrade to the new WikiEditor makes references easier to add, by clicking the open-book button on the edit toolbar.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  Your approach in focusing on the [[Progressive Era]] is fascinating!--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 17:36, 9 August 2015 (EDT)
-:Thanks Andy, I appreciate it. [[User:Progressingamerica|Progressingamerica]] ([[User talk:Progressingamerica|talk]]) 20:53, 27 August 2015 (EDT)
-::Restoring your edits from the data outage is a challenge!  It may take me a few days, but I've made progress tonight.  The data is not lost.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 21:52, 27 August 2015 (EDT)
-:::All of your substantive edits from the data outage have been restored, as best I can tell.  I learned a lot from your work in restoring them!--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 16:59, 30 August 2015 (EDT)
-== Another account promotion ==
-I just promoted your account to a higher level.  Well done!--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 00:49, 31 August 2015 (EDT)
-== When you block a user.... ==
-it's a good idea to look over their recent edits (they were the cause of the block, right?) and see if any of them inflicted damage on mainspace material, and revert same.  [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] ([[User talk:SamHB|talk]]) 17:00, 7 September 2015 (EDT)
-== Olive branch petition ==
-While I like what you have written, some aspects of the sentence style led me to do a Google search.  Sections of the article appear to be copied verbatim from other sources, like the Encyclopedia Americana or some books by Charles Knight.  (The Knight books appear to have been plagiarized later by Joseph Beale; it just never ends  :-)
-This doesn't bother me in the least; I think what you have written is fine.  But you need to be aware that the administrators really want things to be in your own words.
-[[User:SamHB|SamHB]] ([[User talk:SamHB|talk]]) 00:13, 10 September 2015 (EDT)
-:I've been reading more of your stuff, and I like it.  As a Massachusetts resident, I'm very interested in, and proud of, the role we played in starting this nation.  In fact, I wrote up an extensive series on the topic for Ameriwiki.
-:Joseph Warren:  He's the guy who "pushed the button" that started the war.  That is, he made the actual decision "The war starts tomorrow morning" and sent Dawes and Revere on their way.
-:Samuel Prescott:  Why did he happen to be riding around in Lexington at 1:00 AM?
-:Paul Revere's boat:  Where did the flannel strips that muffled the oars come from?
-:[[User:SamHB|SamHB]] ([[User talk:SamHB|talk]]) 00:33, 10 September 2015 (EDT)
-::I mixed many sources together with my own words, all of the sources in the public domain.  That's primarily what I read.  Can't trust modern history books.  Besides, many *pedia articles start out from the Encyclopedia Britannica 1911, which is also outside of copyright.  If you would like me to revert something, let me know.(or take the leap :-) [[User:Progressingamerica|Progressingamerica]] ([[User talk:Progressingamerica|talk]]) 00:43, 10 September 2015 (EDT)
-== Excellent block and reverts ==
-Superb block and reversion of the edits earlier today!--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 11:28, 28 September 2015 (EDT)
-== Stealth leftists ==
-There appears to be at least one or possibly two leftists pretending to be conservatives on pages I've edited. I'm not sure if they are George Soros hirlings working for Media Matters or Center for American Progress (CAP) or whatever but fake conservatives need to go otherwise they'll do a great deal of damage to the project.[[User:Joshmowe|Joshmowe]] ([[User talk:Joshmowe|talk]]) 01:20, 5 October 2015 (EDT)
-: Its not readily apparent which user/which edit you are referring to. [[User:Progressingamerica|Progressingamerica]] ([[User talk:Progressingamerica|talk]]) 15:37, 5 October 2015 (EDT)
-== Uploading historical photos ==
-Your account has been upgraded so that you can upload historical photos.  Any (unaltered) photo before 1923 is in the [[public domain]] and can be copied freely from other sites, preferably with attribution. Any photo after 1923 needs confirmation that it may be copied, with attribution.  Try to avoid any images that are larger than 500k in size, or please shrink their data file size first.  Congratulations on your additional rights!--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 19:27, 17 October 2015 (EDT)
-: Thanks, I uploaded one as a test.
-::Perfect!  Well done.  Please upload more images like that, for placement in entries.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 00:20, 18 October 2015 (EDT)
-== Excellent block ==
-Superb block and reversions this morning!--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 09:43, 11 November 2015 (EST)
-== Problem ==
-Jpatt just blocked a  vandal. And you did just now. What could we do about these vandals who create accounts and only harm Conservapedia?[[User:U.U|U.U]] ([[User talk:U.U|talk]]) 23:00, 30 January 2016 (EST)
-:It might be the same person considering that the troll accounts were occurring back to back.  I'm not sure there's much we can do but wait for someone to create a new account and see how they edit, as a show of good faith.  I don't believe the intent is for Conservapedia to become a walled garden that nobody can get into.  That the create new login function has remained left open indicates that more editors are desired.  I for one think that an increase in the amount of routine editors would be a good thing.
-:As a forward thinking suggestion, I have thought to myself about the capability of the Wiki software that Andy is using to power the site, and if it can do post limits for new accounts.  A one-edit-per-half-hour limit for brand new accounts would be extremely beneficial for automated troll busting.  I do not know if the software can do it or not.  [[User:Progressingamerica|Progressingamerica]] ([[User talk:Progressingamerica|talk]]) 23:16, 30 January 2016 (EST)
-==Vandal==
-A vandal on the loose. [http://www.conservapedia.com/Special:Contributions/Benkumar] I have told DavidB4, Jpatt, and Ashalfly.[[User:U.U|U.U]] ([[User talk:U.U|talk]]) 02:34, 27 February 2016 (EST)
-::He, Rahulbrown, and Josephkocher might also be one and the same person. [[User:U.U|U.U]] ([[User talk:U.U|talk]]) 02:41, 27 February 2016 (EST)
-== Conservapedia's web traffic is up ==
-Conservapedia is one of the top 100,000 websites in the world as far as web traffic according to the web traffic tracking company [[Alexa]],[http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/conservapedia.com]
-Thank you for all your contributions.
-Conservapedia continues to receive millions of page views per month.[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 17:59, 19 April 2016 (EDT)
-== Account privileges ==
-Your account privileges have been promoted to include "move" and "protect/unprotect" rights.  Congratulations!--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 18:08, 22 June 2016 (EDT)
-== Hello ==
-Where should I post updates? Thanks.--[[User:SammiL|SammiL]] ([[User talk:SammiL|talk]]) 00:43, 24 June 2016 (EDT)
-:Hello, you should edit them directly into the [[Brexit]] article.  I noticed you have only made changes to User_talk: pages, and the Conservapedia rules are strict on that sort of thing.  There isn't much reason to have your account banned for such a small thing.  We need more editors around here. [[User:Progressingamerica|Progressingamerica]] ([[User talk:Progressingamerica|talk]]) 00:49, 24 June 2016 (EDT)
-::OK, as you can understand it is very late and any article I edit right now will be prone to errors, I will have a look at it later in the day.--[[User:SammiL|SammiL]] ([[User talk:SammiL|talk]]) 00:51, 24 June 2016 (EDT)
-== Many thanks and re: articletalkheader ==
-Thanks for all the great work you do. Andy told me how much he appreciates all your content.
-Second, as far as use of the template "Articletalkheader" please endeavor to use it sparingly for a few reasons. One, I heard the major search engines don't like websites where a large percentage of the pages are templates. I guess some websites were adding a lot of "filler" via templates to make their website look more full as far as content. Also, Andy is not a fan of templates unless they are vitally needed.  He thinks Wikipedia has an overuse of templates.
-Again, keep up the good work. You add a lot of informative content. And your work is very much appreciated. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 09:58, 30 June 2016 (EDT)
-== Quick note and tip ==
-Thanks for posting to the article [[One Lost Sheep]]. Given the reputation of Spurgeon in terms of his preaching, I am sure it ia a great sermon.
-Second, I added some relevant category tags so people can find the article better.
-Also, in order to help your article be seen by the major search engines, I tried to make it more unique. I added a few pictures. If you want to add an additional picture, that would probably help.
-Again, thanks for creating your article. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 12:06, 9 July 2016 (EDT)
-== Thanks ==
-Thanks for [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3ATKrotting blocking] that vandal. Maybe I didn't act correctly by reverting every one of his edits while he was still unblocked, but for a while I felt I was the only one monitoring the site. --[[User:1990&#39;sguy|1990&#39;sguy]] ([[User talk:1990&#39;sguy|talk]]) 19:19, 28 September 2016 (EDT)
-:Additional thanks for blocking the vandal.  I've since given blocking privileges to the account of ‎1990'sguy.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 00:33, 29 September 2016 (EDT)
-== Merry Christmas ==
-[[Image:Merry Christmas.gif|cebter|260px]]
-{{clear}}
-Thank you for all your contributions to Conservaoedia as far your web article content.
-Merry Christmas!  And have a happy New Year's Day. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 16:33, 24 December 2016 (EST)
-== Electoral College Map ==
-Hello Progressingamerica, I hope you are having a Merry Christmas. I see that you originally uploaded [[:File:ElectoralCollege2016.jpg]], and I would like to ask if you would upload an updated version of the map to show the faithless electors. --[[User:1990&#39;sguy|1990&#39;sguy]] ([[User talk:1990&#39;sguy|talk]]) 10:41, 25 December 2016 (EST)
-==Quick project==
-Dear Progressing:
-Our state articles list the members of Congress from each state, but they have not be updated for 2016.  If five editors could update 10 states each, we would be done quickly.  Could you please take a look at [[Conservapedia:Community Portal#Political directory]]? No US expertise is required. Thanks in advance, [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 18:22, 15 February 2017 (EST)
-:Looks like its already complete. [[User:Progressingamerica|Progressingamerica]] ([[User talk:Progressingamerica|talk]]) 18:48, 17 February 2017 (EST)
-== Image categorization ==
-Hello,<br />
-I've been trying to reduce our number of uncategorized images lately.  The uncategorized images here mage a bit of a mess, and tend to waste space, since people are more likely to upload a very similar image to one already on the server because they didn't find the it.  If you think of it when you upload images, would you mind making sure you add each image to <code><nowiki>Category:Image</nowiki></code> as mentioned on the upload page as well as a category relevant to that specific image, like <code><nowiki>Category:Buildings</nowiki></code>?<br />
-If you can't think of a category other than Image to add it to, it would be great if you would [[Special:Categories|look one up]] or create one if none exists.  Please don't upload a file in only the category Image, though, since that would make it harder for others to find and categorize it later.
-Thank you! --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 12:32, 23 February 2017 (EST)
-:Related to this, I've noticed that you have not added categories to many of the articles you've created. If you would add categories to them too, that would be great. Thank you. --[[User:1990&#39;sguy|1990&#39;sguy]] ([[User talk:1990&#39;sguy|talk]]) 17:53, 23 February 2017 (EST)
-== IRC ==
-Hello,<br />
-After some discussion (on [[User_talk:DavidB4#Conservapedia_IRC_channel|my talk page]] and [[User_talk:Aschlafly#IRC|Andy's]]) it has been decided that I start an [[Internet Relay Chat]] channel for Conservapedia, since our old one has been dead since 2009.  It is now registered and somewhat set up.  I don't know if you use IRC or are interested in doing so, but anyone with block privileges on Conservapedia can also get block privileges on the new IRC channel.  Unfortunately, IRC accounts are deleted after 30 days of being unused, so unless you plan on using the IRC at least once a month, there is probably not much point in registering.  In any case, feel free to try it out--if you account gets deleted, we can always make another one later.  If you are interested, please let me know!<br />
-The IRC channel is: #conservapedia @irc.accessIRC.net<br />
-Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else, also! --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 15:43, 11 April 2017 (EDT)
-: I appreciate you letting me know about this.  I won't be using it, but I do think that some sort of "outlet" for Conservapedia discussion would raise our profile. [[User:Progressingamerica|Progressingamerica]] ([[User talk:Progressingamerica|talk]]) 16:42, 11 April 2017 (EDT)
-::Okay, well we'll see how it goes.  The last one died, so I don't know how it will go this time.  Hopefully it proves helpful. Anyway, thanks for letting me know! --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 16:56, 11 April 2017 (EDT)
-== Short note ==
-Could you please write to me at userconservative135@gmail.com ?  I want to convey to you two pieces of information and one piece of information is related to getting your content to have more readers. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 14:11, 13 April 2017 (EDT)
-: Sent.  [[User:Progressingamerica|Progressingamerica]] ([[User talk:Progressingamerica|talk]]) 21:10, 14 April 2017 (EDT)
-== Federalist Papers ==
-I created a category -- [[:Category:Federalist Papers]] --  that I added to the individual Federalist Paper articles you created. You can add it to the other articles you create. --[[User:1990&#39;sguy|1990&#39;sguy]] ([[User talk:1990&#39;sguy|talk]]) 15:25, 24 June 2017 (EDT)
-== Suggestions for your blog ==
-Hi.
-If you are up to some suggestions, I'd like to make some suggestions for your blog.
-First, I think you may need to cover how Jefferson was actually tied to the progressive philosophy (like, for example, how he did a lot of big government stuff during his presidency, or how he supported and even revered Robespierre, the September Massacres, and the like). I gave you a few sources in a response regarding one of your Theodore Roosevelt posts, but I'll offer one more: http://distributistreview.com/review-liberty-the-god-that-failed-part-i/
-Second, I think you may need to cover how the French Enlightenment was for progressivism as well, or at least what would become it, and even advocated for similar stuff to Gramsci's march through the institutions as well as Walter Lippmann's Public Opinion piece (as you can read from The Duty of Americans at the Present Crisis by Timothy Dwight, as you can read here: http://www.wnd.com/2006/04/35810/#LFe1HvZ0eTHxBBmT.99).
-If we're going to do any condemnation of progressivism, we need to condemn those guys as well, since they essentially pushed for it. [[User:Pokeria1|Pokeria1]] ([[User talk:Pokeria1|talk]]) 11:23, 1 July 2017 (EDT)
