Welcome!

Hello, AlanE, and welcome to Conservapedia!

We're glad you are here to edit. We ask that you read our Editor's Guide before you edit.

At the right are some useful links for you. You can include these links on your user page by putting "{{Useful links}}" on the page. Any questions--ask!

Thanks for reading, AlanE!

Thank you...I'm new in town, so to speak.AlanE 20:44, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

AlanE, thanks for your contributions. I just gave you blocking powers so that you can block the accounts of vandals yourself, as soon as you see them. Thanks much and Godspeed to you.--Aschlafly 01:16, 8 June 2007 (EDT)

Thank you. Appreciated. AlanE 02:14, 8 June 2007 (EDT)

Categories

Alan, I think your comments on the monarch categories are good, and would encourage you to fix the categories as you see fit. It seems to me, since this is such a new project, that a lot of things got categorized willy-nilly style (which is understandable), and anything we can do to set things straight, I think it is better sooner than later. I think you'll notice a lot of redundant categorization on some articles too that need cleaned up. --Colest 19:48, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

• Personally, I would check with a Sysop before doing what Colest is suggesting, especially removal of categories. Okay? --Sysop-TK _/MyTalk 19:49, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

Email

Unless there's a bug in the software, then, "This user has not specified a valid e-mail address, or has chosen not to receive e-mail from other users."

Although we do not require an email address, refusing to supply one is one of several factors which can add up to grounds for banning your account. If you really support the goals of this project, why not take a couple of minutes to create a free yahoo or account and put it in your preferences? --Ed Poor ^Talk 23:42, 6 August 2007 (EDT)

• Ed, check your preferences page. It was changed by Webmaster many months ago. ;-) --şŷŝôρ-₮K^{Ṣρёаќǃ} 23:52, 6 August 2007 (EDT)
  • Yes, I see that now, Terry: "E-mail (required): Enables others to contact you through your user or user_talk page without needing to reveal your identity."

OK. I will go back and change the email address in my Preferences. Hang on. AlanE 00:15, 7 August 2007 (EDT) I have changed it to the address stated at the bottom of my user page and hit the "Mail confirmation code" even though I never got one. I did get the following though: A confirmation code has already been e-mailed to you; if you recently created your account, you may wish to wait a few minutes for it to arrive before trying to request a new code.

This wiki requires that you validate your e-mail address before using e-mail features. Activate the button below to send a confirmation mail to your address. The mail will include a link containing a code; load the link in your browser to confirm that your e-mail address is valid.

The above is what I have always received...right from day one. Maybe my geriatric brain is missing something. Ban me if you wish, but it must be obvious by now I am not refusing to supply it. It is sitting there in my User Page. AlanE 00:30, 7 August 2007 (EDT)
