The Chosen (deleted)

Was the article about the novel or the film? The novel is an important contemporary bit of Jewish-American writing, and there's nothing wrong with the film. JohnMcL 12:18, 12 August 2011 (EDT)

Please let me know if you want to serve on a blocking policy refinement panel. I invited someone to edit Conservapedia and they were blocked and they should not have been. I got the block overturned. So I think there is room for improvement in Conservapedia's blocking policy. You can sign up HERE. I invited active Syops/Admins plus people with blocking rights who might wish to be Sysops. If I left anyone out, please let them know about the panel. The people with blocking rights can sign up HERE. The panel will probably convene when Iduan is back from his summer vacation or fairly soon afterwards. Conservative 13:47, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

Bill Bryson article

Dear Douglas A, Some time ago you deleted one of the articles I created, on author Bill Bryson, with the comment "not notable". (08:59, 18 January 2011 DouglasA (deleted "Bill Bryson" (not notable) ) I would like to ask you to please reconsider this deletion and to reinstate this page, as Bill Bryson is in fact a very notable author, and it took some time and effort for me to create that article. Bill Bryson is a well-known author who has written more than 20 books, many of them best-sellers. Millions of his books have been sold in the U.S. and translated into dozens of foreign langauages. He has won many awards for his writing on travel, language, science and history, including: 2010 Educational Writers Award; 2005 President's Award from the Royal Society of Chemistry; Author of the Year at the British Book Awards; and he has also been awarded honorary degrees by numerous universities. In 2006 the mayor of Des Moines awarded Bryson the key to the city. There are also several pages at Conservapedia that mention Bill Bryson and/or quote him in their references, please see: Gettysburg Address (references Bill Bryson), Des Moines (mentions that The Life and TImes of the Thunderbolt Kid, Bill Bryson's memoir of growing up in Des Moines, was a 2006 bestseller), Anthony Comstock (references Bill Bryson) and Ellis Island (quotes Bill Bryson). So I do believe that this particular page was deleted in error and would respectfully ask that it be reinstated. Thank you very much for your consideration. Taj 08:53, 20 August 2011 (EDT)
