:I think the main reason why Wschact is bent out of shape about TheAmericanRedoubt is his material on traditional/alternative medicine. I pointed out that Japan is unique as a country because highly advanced modern Western medicine coexists with traditional Asian medicine.[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC516460/] The Japanese have a life expectancy that is 5 years greater than American's life expectancy. It seems reasonable to believe that thousands of years of trial and error has caused there to be some efficacy in traditional/folk medicine. I have found that turmeric/ginger works great to prevent/mitigate post workout soreness for example. It's a cheap and safe method too. I realize that traditional/folk medicine has its problems and one has to exercise discretion, but so does Western medicine.
:Dear Andy: If TAR is saying that he is making a disproportionate amount (72%) of the problem edits that required correction, I am willing to accept his number, although I have no memory of first looking to see who was the originator of each problem. The problem is that we have someone who does not understand CP style and policy seeking to add a massive amount of material that has a lot of copy and paste problems, including copy and pasting into many articles from a common set of "See also" references instead of writing new ones for each article.
:At the same time, I do think it is better to create reasonable length articles one at a time then create a lot of stub articles. Readers don't really care for stub articles. That is why the major search engines don't rank stub articles highly in their search results. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 00:32, 10 January 2015 (EST)
:Karajou, Conservative and I have each suggested that TAR slow down and try to write complete articles instead of rushing through copy and pasted new stubs. If TAR wants to "de-orphan" an article, perhaps he should add a sentence to a related article instead of plunk a link into the "see also" section of an unrelated article. I would also suggest watching how TAR pipes his links. A pipe should direct the reader to the article represented by the linked phrase, not to something different.
:Finally, I would suggest that Conservapedia would be better served by '''cooperation''' that combines our "talents", our "genius" and our "educational" backgrounds rather than having one person show blind "persistence" in the face of cautionary comments of others. So, I don't think that TAR's Calvin Coolidge quote captures the spirit of Conservapedia. Please review the links [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Conservapedia:Community_Portal&diff=1130583&oldid=1128180 here and decide for yourself].
