As far as the Anthony Weiner article, I will admit that the term "gun grabbing" is not encyclopedic. Strong advocate of gun control or similar phraseology would be more appropriate.  It is not appropriate to remove all references to his policy on guns.

I do think that hard times are coming (probably in about 15-20 years).  So preparedness is a good thing.  I know you got a lot of flack about this matter. I have always been fond of the Boy Scout motto though: "Be prepared". And I have never been fond of the Nannystate.

Sure JoeyJ, I'd be happy to help. Any guidelines? I searched under Conservapedia:Orphan_pages but couldn't find anything. Should I base my work on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Orphan_pages as generic advice? [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt|TheAmericanRedoubt]] 14:58, 1 December 2014 (EST)

==Red Links==

−
The proliferation of red wikilinks in your edits reminds me of the Walrus and the Carpenter:
 
−
:''The walrus and the carpenter were walking close at hand,''
 
−
:''They wept like anything to see such quantities of sand.''
 
−
:''"If seven maids with seven brooms swept for half a year,''
 
−
:''Do you suppose," the walrus said, "that they could get it clear?"''
 
−
:''"I doubt it " said the carpenter, and wept a bitter tear.''
 
−
 
 
−
:I have tended to sweep up after me the links I have generated in my 200odd thousand words of edits here. Who has the job of sweeping up the multiple links you are throwing around with gay (ahem) abandon? I think you should start sweeping, boyo, because, from bitter experience, I know no one else is going to do it. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 22:29, 10 December 2014 (EST)

===Article Creation for Red Links===
 
−
Thank you Alan for your concerned advice and great Walrus and Carpenter quote. Being an [[amateur radio]] ham operator, I have a lot of articles on that I have been working on and will be pasting them in soon. The amateur radio area has been a big source of my new "red links" for article wiki-links. Same thing in the area of economics-finance. I do indeed intend to sweep up after my red links.

Although I am only very new here, I don't think your see also and contrast with sections look very nice or add much to the articles. Having such info in an popup box like they have on some wikipedia pages might be a better way to go. Phil [[User:PhilH|PhilH]] 02:43, 11 December 2014 (EST)

I have "userfied" your material.  "Userfication" is the process of keeping drafts of one's material in a subpage of their own user or talk pages until it's ready to be moved into mainspace.  That (sort of) protects it from other people making "helpful edits" while one is working on it.  It will also be safer from vandalism, though I assume you know that vandalism is easy to revert, since material is preserved in a page's history, and that, in any case, you can keep a copy (as I always do) on your own computer.

re: Anthony Weiner article and also the issue of fighting between User: TheAmericanRedoubt and User: JDano

TO: User: TheAmericanRedoubt and User: JDano

As far as the Anthony Weiner article, I will admit that the term "gun grabbing" is not encyclopedic. Strong advocate of gun control or similar phraseology would be more appropriate. It is not appropriate to remove all references to his policy on guns.

Second, making a big deal about his Jewish religion in the first 7 words of an article is not appropriate either. However, totally removing all references to his religion is not helpful either. While I am not a fan of Wikipedia, they typically list a politician's religious persuasion (Baptist, Presbyterian, Jewish, Muslim, atheism, etc.). I do think giving this information is helpful to readers.

User: JDano and User: TheAmericanRedoubt need to work more cooperatively.

Due to time constraints, I am asking User: Karajou and the owner of this website to referee if necessary. I sincerely hope this is not necessary. You both seem to be intelligent individuals. Please start behaving more cooperatively. I know you are both capable of doing so. Conservative (talk) 10:52, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

I put this post on User: JDano's talk page: I was told by TAR that you are User: Wsacht or a member of a wiki that opposes this wiki. I told him that I thought this was not the case. Your terse comment on the talk page of the The Survival Blog article does not reassure me that TAR was not correct about this matter. You also seem a bit obsessed with TARs past editing. Again, I don't have the time or inclination to be a referee. Do your best to get along with TAR. I have told TAR to improve in some matters too (please see his talk page). I will also say that User: Wsacht used to put on a veneer of politeness, but when you did a little more investigation, it became apparent it was merely a veneer. I hope User: JDano is not a sock of User: Wsacht. Conservative (talk) 11:20, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

A few last comments

I do think that hard times are coming (probably in about 15-20 years). So preparedness is a good thing. I know you got a lot of flack about this matter. I have always been fond of the Boy Scout motto though: "Be prepared". And I have never been fond of the Nannystate.
