→‎Suicide entry (#5) not cited on key claim and here is some material which may help the entry. Also, know someone in the press who might be interested

Line 237: Line 237:

::::As per your suggestion I did a little digging at Wikipedia in regards to this matter and found some horrendous stuff. Andy, I put the following addition to the entry: (Conservapedia will not provide citations to the more horrendous entries on this subject at Wikipedia as Conservapedia affirms the [[Sanctity of Life|sanctity of life]]). I have no problem with the entry now with my reasonable addition and I think it will put more pressure on Wikipedia to change. And we have caused some change to Wikipedia. I will also work on expanding the [[Sanctity of Life|sanctity of life]] article I just created. I think this changes the dynamic. Before it appeared that we had a baseless claim. Now it appears as if Conservapedia is doing the right thing and doing it in a responsible manner.[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 18:40, 16 September 2007 (EDT)

::Here is a better change to the entry as per some feedback: (Conservapedia will not provide citations to the more depraved entries on this subject at Wikipedia as Conservapedia affirms the [[Sanctity of Life|sanctity of life]])[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 18:47, 16 September 2007 (EDT)

Andy I made a recent change not as a compromise with you but as a compromise with TK as I fully expect you to agree with the change I made. I made the change so it does not appear as if Conservapedia is making a baseless claim and it rightly puts more pressure on Wikipedia. It also strongly affirms the sanctity of life: [[Wikipedia]] promotes suicide with 21,544 entries that mention this depravity, including many entries that feature it (Conservapedia will not provide citations to the more depraved entries on this subject at Wikipedia as Conservapedia affirms the [[Sanctity of Life|sanctity of life]]). For example, Wikipedia referred to it needlessly in the very first sentence of distinguished jurist Henry Friendly's entry,<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Henry_Friendly&oldid=151873451</ref> and Wikipedia's entry about [[Zerah Colburn]] ended with a claim that his distant ''nephew'' committed suicide.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zerah_Colburn_%28math_prodigy%29&oldid=147253074</ref> After this criticism appeared here, these two entries were fixed (and in the case of Friendly, reinstated before being fixed again); there has been no system-wide removal of this bias on [[Wikipedia]]. In yet another example, [[Wikipedia]] has an entry for "suicide by cop"<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_by_cop</ref> to discuss attacking a police officer to provoke a suicide, citing an unpublished PhD thesis at an obscure university.[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 19:11, 16 September 2007 (EDT)
