Changes

I add {{fact}} tags when I find something that I don't believe is actually true.  I've been banned from here too many times to risk deleting conservative statements of dubious veracity.  I've been temporarily banned for fixing the spelling of someone the sysops didn't like.  Karaju banned me for a week when I pointed out he'd directly copied a huge article from another web site and didn't source it.  Editing here is like a minefield.  Change someone's pet article and you're gone.  I'd rather play it safe and still get to edit.  (Yeah, yeah, the bears article wasn't political, but it was the holidays).  Cheers.

:You said "''I add {{fact}} tags when I find something that I don't believe is actually true.''" If you don't believe the statement is actually true, do a Google search of the statement and find out for yourself. I didn't really know about the hybrid bears either, but I learned something when I did the search and added the reference for Conservapedia. Adding a ''reference'' for an existing statement is <u>not</u> likely to get you banned, but deleting the statement will likely cause problems. What you're actually doing by adding fact tags, is making work for other editors, instead of helping improve the articles yourself. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 23:17, 26 December 2007 (EST)
