Dean, I saw you protected [[:Image:20080919-2 p091908jb-0025-1-515h.jpg]] (amongst others). Couldn't we have a a policy of having descriptive file names for images?  That image name is not only too long but tells us nothing about the image. If I had been fortunate enough to have merited sysop rights then sorting out the image library would have been my first pet project. I can only hope that some keen adminstrator will try and clean it up. [[User:BrianCo|BrianCo]] 10:54, 1 January 2009 (EST)

Great block, Dean.  No one has to block all the sub-accounts that were just created.  The vandal simply wasted his time.  You've blocked his IP for those accounts also with your first block.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 11:51, 9 January 2009 (EST)

::I don't know that I agree, Andy.

He then got blocked by Dean. So I took the initiative now to block all those socks, just to be safe. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 11:52, 10 January 2009 (EST)

Thanks for adding on to Washington.  Originally I was sticking with just the state governors and not the territorial ones, but I suppose more information is better!  [[User:WesleyS|WesleyS]][[User Talk:WesleyS|<sup>Hello!</sup>]] 18:24, 10 January 2009 (EST)

== Mainpage picture size, My apologies, no offense intended ==

DeanS,
 
−
 
−
I did not notice that you had reversed my edits as far as the picture sizes to the main page.  I was somewhat tired when I was doing the editing.  My apologies.
 
−
 
−
Secondly, I did not notice that the picture sizes I chose were making the right and left columns unequal in width.  For various reasons, I do agree with you that right and left columns on the main page should be somewhat equal in width.  Therefore, I made the pictures smaller. [[User:Conservative|conservative]] 05:35, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Sorry to bother with this, but could someone add a link on this news story to the pilot himself- [[Chesley Sullenberger]]. [[User:AddisonDM|AddisonDM]] 21:04, 15 January 2009 (EST)
 
−
:Done. Thanks for creating the article and the suggestion. Btw, as an admin, you can edit the Main page yourself if you want to. ;-) --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 10:29, 16 January 2009 (EST)

Thanks! The page is now at 90 views! Also,I know I can edit the main page, but I could not find where to edit the actual news stories. [[User:AddisonDM|AddisonDM]] 13:57, 16 January 2009 (EST)

A big thank you for deleting that essay. It was horrible from start to finish.--[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 01:27, 2 February 2009 (EST)

:You're welcome Jp. We don't need to accept every Essay on Conservapedia. This one was unacceptable. --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 13:44, 2 February 2009 (EST)

==Algebra Terms==
 
−
Thanks for deleting the redundant category. It had been cluttering the math pages for a while now! -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 07:15, 5 February 2009 (EST)
 
−
:You're welcome. Something still doesn't seem right though. I'm wondering if we even need the [[Algebra terms]] page since the Algebra index is on each of the terms pages. --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 07:24, 5 February 2009 (EST)
 
−
::Probably not. There's also a [[geometry terms]] page, which can equally be deleted since there's already a <s>[[:Category:Geometry Terms]]</s> [[:Category:Geometry terms]] which uses Geometry index (and doesn't follow the MoS for categories). Continuing this line of reasoning, are these sorts of indices much more useful than categories? They seem somewhat redundant. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 07:31, 5 February 2009 (EST)
 
−
:::I think the indices are better than a category of terms for each subject. If you look at Category:Navigation box, you will see there are many different indices, Template:Algebra Index, Template:American Index, Template:Ancient Index, etc. Some of them don't have a subject terms page; they just have individual terms pages (i.e. Ancient Terms, Chemistry Terms, etc.) We should have some further discussions on this subject. --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 07:52, 5 February 2009 (EST)
 
−
::::I think my wording wasn't clear in it's implication, sorry. I definitely do like indices better than something like [[:Category:Algebra Terms]], but my question was whether we even needed the index if we have the [[:Category:Algebra]], which lists most/all of the terms anyway and has many more to boot. I would gladly keep discussing this with you, either here or by email. Just let me know. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 10:55, 8 February 2009 (EST)

==Template==

Dean, I created a template for WikiProjectNews. I added it to the categories pages. I hope I didn't overstep your authority since you created the News Group. I can shorten, add/remove, and I welcome any changes. --[[User:Jpatt|jpatt]] 02:44, 8 February 2009 (EST)
 
−
:Thanks Jp. That template is a great idea. No, you didn't overstep your authority, because you're the co-project leader now. Project members need to get approval before doing things like this, but you or I can make improvements to this project as needed.

−
:I protected the template because it is policy to protect all templates. You will want to do this in the future.

:until I realized you had ==See also==. Should I continue or is it redundancy? Makes it more visible but waiting for your thoughts.--[[User:Jpatt|jpatt]] 14:45, 8 February 2009 (EST)
 
−
::Ok. I will delete the "Unpublished News" page and the template link.
 
−
::I think the border version is redundant with the "See Also" wikilink. I also tried to move the ACLU one below the main image but then it wouldn't go to the right even though it was below the image. I think the "See Also" wikilinks should be sufficient. We might want to consider a template in the future. --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 16:31, 8 February 2009 (EST)

== Al Gore comic ==
 
−
 
−
Hi DeanS. I see that you uploaded the image http://conservapedia.com/Image:Al_and_GW.png. I would have serious reservations about a fair use justification for this image. It is clearly marked copyright. There does not seem to be any discussion or criticism of the image on the page. It serves to illustrate a point about Al Gore. Perhaps it would be worth emailing the copyright holder to ask his permission? His email is gsheffield--@--mediaresearch.org [[User:AndyJM|AndyJM]] 09:39, 11 February 2009 (EST)

Thanks for the welcome message.  This is my first time editing a wiki so please indulge my possibly stupid question; How do you upload images to a page as I have noticed a large hole in the UK related military area and am creating quite a few new pages it would be nice to have a few logos with them?  Thanks JSmith2
 
−
:Due to the fact that only select users are allowed to upload, go to [[Conservapedia:Image upload requests]] and put your URLs of the images there. [[User:JY23|JY23]] 18:35, 11 February 2009 (EST)

−
*Eric, please don't go posting for Administrator opinions about categories. As you were previously told, and could plainly read, I am the Admin who has been asked to resolve these category disputes between editors.  It might give others the wrong opinion of you if you run about soliciting others to weigh in, especially since Dr. Jensen is an Administrator.  --[[User:TK|'''₮K''']]<sub><small><small>/Admin</small></small></sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 02:22, 16 February 2009 (EST)

==Popular articles==

Not to be presumptuous but do you think the [[Conservapedia]] article (that I wrote) should be listed under the "Popular Articles at Conservapedia" feature on the main page? Since it is about us. I would do it myself but I don't know how to edit all those little features. [[User:AddisonDM|AddisonDM]] 21:31, 17 February 2009 (EST)

:Even though I do like your Conservapedia article, I believe with only over 1300 page views to date, it has a ways to go before making that list. --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 01:46, 18 February 2009 (EST)

==Rent==

Dean, I had a suggestion for the news section, but I didn't see where to quickly submit it without signing up for the news project. It's about the musical ''[[Rent]]''. I've added the news item to that article, since it's an important example of liberal [[professor values]] pushing a [[homosexual agenda]] on unsuspecting high schoolers. I thought it should get more notice by the CP community. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 11:18, 25 February 2009 (EST)
