I saw some talk about this place and loved the idea of a wiki dedicated to objective articles. Articles with only “true and verifiable” information and articles with no opinion ( The Conservapedia Commandments numbers 1 and 6 respectively).
So far I’m truly enjoying this place.

Ok, so now that I’ve been around awhile, I figure it is time to write more about who I am on my user page.
I am a student of philosophy and I am as literally as possible a “lover of wisdom”. I believe there can be no wisdom without truth, and that in the end truth is always better than a convenient, temporary falsehood. (That’s why I am so enamored of the rules of this site).
Politically I lean toward the Libertarian (I have a few problems with the metaphysics underpinning philosophical Libertarianism, but they are minor in the big picture). I would like to live in a world where the government infringed upon my human rights and the human rights of all others as little as possible (of course some infringement is necessary for us to live in society, but the current system infringes far more than necessary).
"Brag List"
Since I have been accused of being nothing but a complainer who does nothing to actually improve or add to Conservapedia I’ve started a list of places I feel I’ve made a difference here. I hate to have a “brag list” on my user page, but it seems like the prudent course of action given the current atmosphere.
Articles started or largely responsible for:
- John Birch – started.
- Polygamy – Greatly fleshed out, added historical, cross-cultural, and modern information
- Protests against the Vietnam War – started at TK’s suggestion, still very much in progress.
Articles substantially contributed to:
- Atlantis – Improved section on Plato
- Divine right of kings – Added traditional Biblical support for the doctrine
- Eris – Added role in Greek mythology and modern astronomy, made much less silly
- Free will – turned a article serving as a religious argument into a start of a real argument.
- Inalienable rights – Clarified the philosophical concept
- Jason – Summarized Greek myth
- Jean Paul Sartre – added to list of Sartre’s works
- Jericho – Added information about archeological history
- OPEC—Removed biased stub, provided a factual start for the article
- Suicide bombing – added some history and numbers
- United States National Motto – Corrected mis-quotes and tracked down proper sources for those quotes.
