:::''Please use proper indenting standards.'' Please, could you link me to Conservapedia's ''indenting standards''? I haven't read them until now, I'm afraid, so I generally try to follow a common-sense approach,  indenting my answers using one ":" more than in the previous section. I tend to make an exception for enumerations, as those get indented by the "#" or the "*". But in my experience (taken from discussions with other senior admins), the general approach to indenting is quite nonchalant.

:::I don't think that ''native names in brackets'' are ''astonishing'' to our readers - they may suspect that foreigners do not exclusively use English words.
 +
 +
:::I try to be helpful. See e.g., [[List of quotations in templates]]. The constant stream of threads OTOH ("last strike", "be elsewhere", "you'll be banned") is quite off-putting, especially when these threads aren't explained properly.
 +
 +
:::I'd appreciate if you would address my points above. Here a summary:
 +
::#It's helpful to have the native names in the according articles as they can be found by a simple search.
 +
::#It's courteous to the natives to state their names for things you are writing about.
 +
::#Some quirks of  languages are interesting in their own right.

:::At last, I found something about ''indenting'': [[Conservapedia:Discussion page - technical help]] - not directly etiquettes, commandments or standards, but an advice by no other than [[User:Conservative]]!

::::''In order to differentiate messages from various users please use a colon or mutiple colons to indent messages when necessary. The more colons you use the farther your message will indent. Do not indent more than 6 colons. If the post above you has reached six, go back to none. This keeps the pages from introducing a scroll bar. ''
