Hello, AnthonyPvanDuyn, and welcome to Conservapedia!

Thanks for joining our community, AnthonyPvanDuyn! We look forward to working with you!

Thanks for your contributions so far! When you get a chance, would you mind taking a look at my question here: Talk:Ahasuerus? Thanks! --DavidB4 ^(TALK) 14:47, 26 April 2020 (EDT)

Sorry for not responding earlier. You will find your question answered.--

Greetings Anthony. I see we're working in the same area related to personalities associated with the end of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Do you think it would be profitable if we could communicate somehow, in addition to this more or less public place? Conservapedia does not have any way to send email messages to another user, although Wikipedia does. If you still have your Wikipedia account, you could post its moniker here and I would give you mine. That way we could send each other e-mail addresses and communicate that way, if you are interested. Thanks for all you work so far. User talk:Latent

Greetings Latent, thanks for your efforts too. It does seem that our efforts are harmonizing in an age of willful academic naivety. You can email me directly on asvanduyn@gmail.com. This is my spam email, but I can give you a personal one from there. I do hate email, prefering authentic human communication. I will remove this posted email address in one week. Regards, Anthony.

Greetings Anthony. I sent you an email. You can erase this message too when you erase the above one. By the way, I see you have just now created a stub page Nabonidas. You apparently missed that I had already created a page for him, using the more usual spelling Nabonidus. User talk:Latent

Promotion

Your account has been promoted to bypass moderation. Thank you for your thoughtful edits!--Andy Schlafly (talk) 08:32, September 2, 2026 (EDT)

Your account has also been promoted to "upload" for image uploading. Please always be sure to check first that an image is in the public domain (such as photos predating 1931 as of now) or available for copying under a Creative Commons or similar type of license. Also be sure to expressly attribute the author of the photo, the source, and a link to the place from where you obtained it: Author, Source, License. Thank you!--Andy Schlafly (talk) 12:02, September 2, 2026 (EDT)

It is an honour. Thankyou.--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 11:24, September 24, 2026 (EDT)

Upload file sizes

Anthony, thanks for your terrific uploading of historical images, but please shrink the size of each image to less than 100k in file size. An image of a bust, for example, does not need to be 900k in size. Thanks!--Andy Schlafly (talk) 19:27, September 17, 2026 (EDT)

Ok boss. But you are talking to a printer, this is an anathema. The value of the site is in the quality of every part of the work that people can derive from the site. I assume you are trying to limit bandwidth consumption or hard drive storage?

I propose that upload rights are the automatic right of donors of $100 or more. The biblical concept of your money is where your heart is.

I further propose that deletion of data (even typo's) are restricted to donors of $50 or more. Stop alot of vandals.

I say this because for me the site is virtually unusable, you are at a choke point. Even to access a page can take scores of reloads. Is the choke bandwidth or server(s) ability?--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 11:23, September 24, 2026 (EDT)

I'm working on your terrific suggestions. Learning immensely from your fabulous edits! Thank you.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 21:18, September 26, 2026 (EDT)

I have been noticing the improvements (and the downtime which I assume was related) as things have been much better even before the downtime. Seems to me with the 504 and 503 errors that you have your gateway and a single server behind said gateway.

While I have a $20k setup here, I could run a duplicate loadshare server, but then we have the complication of needing a global loadshare system. But if you put a UDM-Pro-Max as your gateway, then bury behind that two UNAS-Pro-Max units you can load docker onto them and run WikiMedia as two separate servers, each with 7 daisy chained RAID setups. Then you run the UniFi UPS and install HA Proxy onto the back of one of the UNAS-Pro-Max. Dual server setup with one acting as the load balancer behind a institutional grade firewall / gateway and it doesn't break the bank.

Thankyou also for the appreciation of my labours. I will get to finishing the Essay: Date of Jesus Death, but the ancient subject and understanding of the 70 weeks having been forgotten by neglect is a touchy subject which will need to be handled with the utmost care.--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 02:13, September 27, 2026 (EDT)

It seems only an Admin or limited user group can modify Jesus Christ. Do I get access? I vow to respect everyone's positions (even if I disagree personally).

Essay Permissions

Also is there a way to lock Essays? These should be author only unless allowed by the author such as in an open source project.--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 02:13, September 27, 2026 (EDT)

I will look into this issue.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 02:37, September 30, 2026 (EDT)

Sorry about the deletion

My regrets about having to delete the martyrdom drawing. Although it has historical value, it does not comply with our family friendly rule. Sorry!--Andy Schlafly (talk) 02:41, September 30, 2026 (EDT)
