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.

: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. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 11:20, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

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.

== Important: Wiki policy related to Conservapedia's Manual of Style ==
 
−
 
 
−
The Conservapedia Style Guide has a policy (If it does not have this policy, I will create it after I do this edit) of one link to a particular article at Conservapedia within a given article.
 
−
 
 
−
For example, a gun related article can only have one link to Conservapedia's [[gun control]] article.
 
−
 
 
−
Why is this policy important? 
 
−
 
 
−
Failure to follow this policy creates difficult to read link rich articles which are unappealing to the eye. And once your article is unappealing to the eye, people will quickly click off it. So a link rich article is self-defeating in terms of getting people to dig more deeply into a subject at a wiki.  Furthermore, it will cause people to leave the website sooner rather than later.
 
−
 
 
−
In addition, most people judge a book by its cover. An unappealing looking article is assumed to be an inferior article by most people.
 
−
 
 
−
I removed about a dozen duplicate internal links from this article: [[Ammunition control]].  It looks better now, but it still needs much improvement as far as being too link rich. Please remove the duplicate links. For example, each state mentioned in the article (New York, California, etc.), should only have one link to its respective article at this wiki.

:The policy I am referring to is located at [http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:Editing_article_and_talk_pages#Links Internal link policy].  Please take the time to read Conservapedia's [http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:Editing_article_and_talk_pages Manual of Style].
 
−
 
 
−
:I hope this message to you is helpful.  I would hate for you to lose the opportunity of gaining a loyal audience due to something that is easily avoidable.
 
−
 
 
−
:Please go through your key articles (your most important articles) and remove the link richness. You can remove the link richness in the other articles as you continue to edit them. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 02:21, 14 February 2015 (EST)

== Layout of articles ==

−
The [[Conservapedia:Editing article and talk pages|Manual of style]] has a section on the layout of pages; in sequence, the final sections should be references, see also, and then external links. Just a heads up, considering your recent articles do not follow this progression. [[User:DanielJackson|DanielJackson]] 23:22, 14 February 2015 (EST)
 
−
:: Thank you for the headups, however, what you state is not correct necessarily. There are reasons for putting the "References" or "Notes" section last. If you do not, then sometimes, when you need to put a footnote on a "See Also" or on an "External Links" (as I sometime do), you will get an error message.

If you continue to edit, please don't add in a lot of "red links" and don't overdo the "See also" additions and "category tag" usage.  Please keep the "see also" and category tags very relevant and not tangents that the average reader will not understand. In addition, use the hierarchical category tag methodology which is given here:  http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:Editing_article_and_talk_pages#Categories  I ask these things because at this time, I don't have time to be a referee as far as these matters. Being a referee again about these matters would be impossible for me at this time. I also agree that these things should be done. Wiki readers don't like to see huge "see also" sections, a lot of red links and very tangential category tags.

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 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.
