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 active duplicity and suppression of other editor's contributions with other algorithms. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 22:33, December 22, 2023 (EST)

Tying things up

If you want Conservapedia's traffic to go up or at least not go down as fast, I would suggest cleaning up your user page so its not an attack page on another editor.

But if you don't want to take my advice, so be it. Your just hurting your own readership and the website's readership. Why? Because nobody is interested in your dispute with another editor.

That's the last string I wanted to tie up. Conservative (talk) 01:35, December 23, 2023 (EST)

Okay. I won't spam attacks against other editors across other editor's user pages anymore. RobS^{Zelensky didn't kill himself} 01:37, December 23, 2023 (EST)
