==Authorization by NYT Best-Selling Conservative Christian Preparedness Author James Wesley Rawles to use "up to 3 Quotes of 800 Words Each" of his Writings per CP Article==
:: Good news [[User:Conservative]] is that I was discussing on e-mail today with [[James_Wesley_Rawles#Strong_Advocate_of_Conservapedia_over_Wikipedia|James Wesley Rawles]] to get his permission to use a larger than normal "[[Talk:James_Wesley_Rawles|fair use]]" amount of his authoritative source materials to build some good quality articles on a variety of Conservative-related topics. He is the most respected and popular [[New York Times]] [[:Category:Best Selling Authors|best selling]] author/consultant in the field of [[Preparedness]] (from a [http://survivalblog.com/biographies Conservative Christian perspective] with 7 books authored). ''''He gave me the go ahead: "You are certainly welcome to use up to three quotes of 800 words each, in any of your wiki articles." That's 2400 words of great source material with me writing a wrapper around it and integrating other materials plus all the Wiki-link work and formatting following the CP [[Conservapedia:Manual of Style]].'''' (See below for the actual e-mail authorization.)
Mr. Rawles site's [[The_Survival_Blog#Strong_Advocate_of_Conservapedia_over_Wikipedia|The Survival Blog]] is amazingly detailed and has received almost ''''71 million ''unique'' visits since July 2005. That's more than 320,000 unique visits per week.'''' SurvivalBlog it is considered the Internet’s premier source of information on family preparedness and survival topics.
''''He is a big fan of [[Conservapedia]] and links to it where possible, doing his best to avoid the "[[James_Wesley_Rawles#Strong_Advocate_of_Conservapedia_over_Wikipedia|LiberalPropagandaPedia]]".'''' Here is more info: http://survivalblog.com/archivecd. [https://www.google.com/#q=%22SurvivalBlog.com%22 According to Google there are more than 142,000 results for "SurvivalBlog.com"].
''''These articles will definitely help draw a new audience to Conservapedia.'''' [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt|TheAmericanRedoubt]] 16:17, 30 December 2014 (EST)
:Glad to hear your good news. In terms of creating an online encyclopedia resource related to [[survivalism]] and sub topics related to survivalism, I am guessing you will be able to surpass Wikipedia in terms of the quality/quantity of information that is provided. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 16:28, 30 December 2014 (EST)
::Most definitely. And as [[Jack Spirko]] of the Survival Podcast (with more than 500,000 daily listeners as of December 2014) has said on a recent podcast, his audience is almost entirely conservative. Same with that of James Wesley Rawles and most other preppers. [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt|TheAmericanRedoubt]] 17:00, 30 December 2014 (EST)
=== Total of 2400 Words worth of Quotes Authorized from James Wesley Rawles Works===
In general (for non-Conservapedia editors), [[James_Wesley_Rawles#Strong_Advocate_of_Conservapedia_over_Wikipedia|James Wesley Rawles]] , founder/owner of [[The_Survival_Blog#Strong_Advocate_of_Conservapedia_over_Wikipedia|The Survival Blog]] has suggested 800 words seems to be a reasonable and commonplace except/[[Conservapedia:Guidelines#Attribution|quoting]] amount for [[Fair Use]] (See [http://www.survivalblog.com/provisos.html Important Fair Use Provisos])
'''However, for editors of Conservapedia, he has made a special authorization of 3x that quantity:'''

Here is an example of "[[ James_Wesley_Rawles#Strong_Advocate_of_Conservapedia_over_Wikipedia|Rawles]]" quote:
"As I’ve mentioned before, Wikipedia’s editors have strong [[leftist]] and [[statist]] [[liberal bias|biases]]. This is evidenced by the way that they selectively delete content and gradually push the Point of View (POV) of articles to match their world views. According a SurvivalBlog reader in [[Switzerland]], the following section was deleted from Wikipedia by members of an [[gun control|anti-gun]] Wikipedia [[cabal]] on August 14, 2013. (It had been part of the [[Mayors Against Illegal Guns]] article). Never mentioned in the Wikipedia article was the fact that there are charges pending against at least seven other members of their “crime fighting” organization: Marcus Hook Mayor [[James Schiliro|James ‘Jay’ Schiliro]] - the “furnishing [[alcohol]] to a minor” charge was just dropped on a technicality, but he still faces [[misdemeanor]] charges of official oppression, recklessly endangering another person, unlawful restraint and false imprisonment, in a bizarre incident where he tried to force a young man to have [[homosexual]] relations, at gunpoint.)"<ref>156 {{Template:James Wesley Rawles authorized quotation}} January 5, 2015 ''Embarrassing Truths: An Example of Why You Shouldn’t Trust Wikipedia'' http://survivalblog.com/embarrassing_truths_an_example_of_why_you_shouldnt_trust_wikipedia</ref>, <ref name=schiliroscandal>{{cite web|last=Bender|first=William|title=Marcus Hook Mayor arrested, seeking re-election|url=http://articles.philly.com/2013-03-22/news/37940199_1_schiliro-whelan-report-states|publisher=Philly.com}}</ref>

In re-reviewing Wschact's continued harassment of Survivalism-Prepper-Firearms articles under the guise of making lots of small improvements to the article (which cannot be easily reverted). I realized Wshact, under the guise of reorganizing the article and putting it in the active voice instead of passive voice, has again deleted significant conservative point of view content. It was to hard to continue trying to restore the vandalized article. Thus I had to restore my original version of the article.

Dealing with this whole affair of continued harassment has just cost me 1 hour of my time that I had budgeted to spend contributing new firearms content.
In response to Wshact's continued harassment despite repeated warnings, I am temporarily banning him for 7 days. Admins who have been involved in correcting Wshact's aggressive behavior, please correct the ban time if appropriate. [[User:TheAmericanRedoubt|TheAmericanRedoubt]] 07:11, 13 January 2015 (EST)
