"A small thing"

A small thing...the article "River Trent" is unable to be edited because of a "spam filter". Um...what gives? AlanE 02:24, 31 July 2007 (EDT)

I fixed it. DanH 02:27, 31 July 2007 (EDT)

Page Creation

Hello,

A few days ago a small group of us tried to create a page on a local conservative activist named J.R. Hedrick to have the page deleted. We read the guidelines and adjusted our page and were hoping we could ask the conservapedia staff to reconsider. We currently have the page wewantjr.homeip.net if you could take a few minutes check out the website see our reasoning and message and reconsider it would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or would like a shortened verstion of our reasoning feel free to email us at wewantjr@yahoo.com.

• Sorry, this is an encyclopedia, not Vanity Fair. For inclusion, one would have to be of national prominence, not a "local hero". Sorry. --şŷŝôρ-₮K^{Ṣρёаќǃ} 06:59, 18 August 2007 (EDT)

Can't email other users

I try to email other users, I am logged in and I do have a valid email address in my preferences but it won't let me do it. What's up?

Wismike, maybe the users you've tried to email haven't supplied an email address. When I went to your user page and clicked "Email this user", I got the following notice:

• This user has not specified a valid e-mail address, or has chosen not to receive e-mail from other users.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wismike (talk)

You can send me a test e-mail if you want. --Ed Poor ^Talk 17:08, 3 August 2007 (EDT)

• Users need to supply their email on the preference page in order to send emails to other users. Even if the other user has it enabled, you need to have done it as well. --şŷŝôρ-₮K^{Ṣρёаќǃ} 17:20, 3 August 2007 (EDT)

What's wrong with Ishi Press?

I can't put ishi press dot com as a ref for Woody Allen marrying his stepdaughter. Spam filter blocks it. --Ed Poor ^Talk 17:42, 3 August 2007 (EDT)

Outages?

There seem to be times when the entire site is protected. What's going on? -Pipkin 16:34, 5 August 2007 (EDT)

• Yes, indeed there is. Editing, except by those with special rights, is usually turned off over-night (generally 1:00AM to 6:00AM) East Coast United States time. This is due to the high degree of vandalism at the hands of deceitful Liberals. --şŷŝôρ-₮K^{Ṣρёаќǃ} 16:43, 5 August 2007 (EDT)

Uncyclopedia and Encyclopædia Dramatica

I think these two articles serve no encyclopedic purpose whatsoever, and as written are basically nonsense and inccurate to general knowlege about their subjects. Also it is to note that the alternate spelling of Encyclopædia Dramatica, Encyclopedia Dramatica has been salted. --WikiLeon 20:59, 28 August 2007 (EDT)

• Your several posts about this has been noted. The articles will stay. Thanks. --şŷŝôρ-₮K^{Ṣρёаќǃ} 01:48, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

I may have found some nonesense.

I am here to report what might be vandalism. I'm not sure, but someone called User: Clavicle made an ususual edit on William Shakespeare. The edit was on the list of Shakespeare's historical plays. He wrote *Austin Kenn (1999). I happen to know about Shakespeare's histories and had never heard of the play before. I also knew that Shakespeare died in the 1600s not any period after 1999. This sounded fishy and later on (some months later) when I recieved no reply on the discussion page about this, I investigated. I found that this User: Clavicle had put the play in just in one edit (without putting it in any good order.) He didn't have a page for me to contact him about this, so I decided to try to report this unusual edit. I admit I'm wording it badly and akwardly, but I just thought I'd explain this small case. -Additioner 14:52, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

The user was already blocked for an unrelated offense. Bohdan 15:02, 29 August 2007 (EDT)
