I added your thought [here].Telling (talk)

Thanks. I'll try to lay out the context of how many days delay using alternate routes, etc. in the next few days. This page will be a longterm project, lasting months, at least. Although fireworks can erupt at any time. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 18:34, December 20, 2023 (EST)

Essays

Let's give the creator of essays greater freedom over their own essays. Thanks.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 20:46, December 22, 2023 (EST)

Andy, we decided a long time ago opinion Essays do not belong in Mainspace categories. That Essay in particular is just redundant racist spam cut n pasted from about 2 dozen other Essays designed to manipulate Google search traffic.

Furthermore, Conservapedia has a rule against self promotion, and in these spam Essays he has a link to all his other Essays with his user name.

If the Mainspace category is to remain, then the rule against self-promotion should be enforced. Thank you. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 20:51, December 22, 2023 (EST)

What User:Consewrvative is doing is building an algorithm to promote himself, at the expense of all other editors. Thank you. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 20:53, December 22, 2023 (EST)

We have a Category where it rightfully belongs, Category:United States History Essays, and if it's a contemporary subject, Category:United States Essays should be created. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 20:58, December 22, 2023 (EST)

In those Categories the editor should be allowed to link to himself. But using Mainspace Categories for self-promotion of his personal opinions should be denied. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 20:59, December 22, 2023 (EST)

Rob, you make good points but I think there should be more leeway for strong editors to create essays and categorize them as they think best. That includes you too. Essays are a valuable part of this website (in contrast with the tyranny at Wikipedia which prohibits them). The essay author is easily identified from the entry history.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 21:26, December 22, 2023 (EST)

I see your point; there's no problem with that. But cheating like this, bending the rules to create algorithms inside Conservapedia to promote his own Essays is what has led to his success. I could have done the same thing a long time ago, but chose to abide by the rules.

More recently, he has created algorithms inside Conservapedia to suppress other editors work, specifically User:LT and myself. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 21:31, December 22, 2023 (EST)

Leaving aside his active subversion of other editor's Mainspace contributions, it is this edit here, tying all his Essays together, that creates a very powerful algorithm. That, coupled with Mainspace categorization, makes it even more powerful. Users are prohibited from self-promotion in Mainspace, so he gets around that by tying it into a Mainspace category with hundreds or thousands of pages linked. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 21:49, December 22, 2023 (EST)

I don't think that affects traffic to anything other than his own essays, so I think more freedom on this is best. We want to avoid here the stifling aspects of Wikipedia. Thanks for understanding. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Aschlafly (talk)

Well it does affect traffic. When I introduce terms to him that he's never heard (like "multipolarity" for instance), and he writes a half dozen screeds attacking multipolarity which he knows nothing about. When I Google the term, his crap comes up and mine is suppressed.

That's all he's done for the past six months, is use search terms he never heard of that I write about, then spam them into a dozen Essays trashing the concepts with neocon sources, promoting his own pages while also having an algorithm that specifically suppresses my content. And it's by cheating - blatant self-promotion - that he gets away with it. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 22:14, December 22, 2023 (EST)

In sum: All I can say is, this cheating and trolling you want to give license to will ultimately have a negative effect. And we have not even discussed his duplicity and suppression of other editor's contributions. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 22:33, December 22, 2023 (EST)
