== Anita Perry ==

The section you've added about her brother is almost half of the article, and would probably fit better in  the Rick Perry and/or G.W. Bush articles. It was the interaction between the men that's caused whatever stress there might be. The way the section in the article is written, Mrs. Perry doesn't appear to be involved at all, other than being a sister and wife. --[[User:SharonW|SharonW]] 12:08, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

The [[Bryan Hughes]] article you wrote needs to have the in-line references fixed. Was it copy/pasted from somewhere? If it was, and you wrote the original, the talk page needs a disclaimer. --[[User:SharonW|SharonW]] 12:50, 24 November 2011 (EST)

I'm curious why you reversed my edit about the name format for Ray Garofalo? The proper format for names is '''First Middle "Nickname" Last". [[User:SharonW|SharonW]] 15:03, 11 September 2012 (EDT)

I don't know what was done. The name was misspelled "Garofolo in the heading, and I corrected it to Garofalo. I did not know that I had altered the name. Sorry for the confusion. [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]] 18:16, 11 September 2012 (EDT)

Look at [[Four Price]] after you made [http://conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Four_Price&curid=104177&diff=1006350&oldid=940392 this edit]]. As they say, "that ain't right.

<nowiki>I was just updating the story and putting <ref> in front of cite web and </ref> at the end of the reference. In the past this has been no problem, but for the past two weeks, it causes the story to go haywire, and the <ref> and </ref> disappear. Some of the stories, such as Gene Reynolds and A. Roswell Thompson, are also locked up and can't be edited.</nowiki> [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]] 10:50, 15 September 2012 (EDT)

== Articles you've created. ==
 
−

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I believe that articles about cities are titled just by the name of the city. You've created a bunch that are titled "City, State." You might want to see if you can bring them in line with the existing style. Peace, etc. [[User:MattyD|MattyD]] 12:00, 25 September 2012 (EDT)

:What about cities with the same name in various states? [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]] 12:02, 25 September 2012 (EDT)

::Like [[Portland]]? [[User:MattyD|MattyD]] 12:04, 25 September 2012 (EDT)

:::You may have to set up redirects or get a sysop to move the articles for you--it's the titles that need to be changed more that the first sentence. [[User:MattyD|MattyD]] 12:07, 25 September 2012 (EDT)
 
−
::::It should be a case by case thing. Portland is also an historic port-city in Victoria, Australia. There is the famous [[Alexandria]] in [[Egypt]]. And so on. Click on [[Kingston]] - there are many many more towns and cities of that name around the world founded by Brits during the colonial era and named after their home town. I would mention the state unless you are sure it is unique. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 18:45, 25 September 2012 (EDT)
 
−
:::::An example of what can happen. In March 2007 an edit to [[Archimedes]] mentioned the tyrant of Syracuse with a red link to Syracuse. In October 2007 an article was created for Syracuse New York, heading: [[Syracuse]] This enlivened the link in the Archimedes article to make it look (to the very ignorant) as if he lived in upstate New York. It's fixable but would not have happened if the American city had been headed "Syracuse N.Y." or similar. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 19:37, 25 September 2012 (EDT)
 
−
::::::I also favor the city, state format for article names. [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 21:42, 25 September 2012 (EDT)
 
−
Does Conservapedia not use disambiguation pages for such things? [[User:MattyD|MattyD]] 21:57, 25 September 2012 (EDT)
 
−
: Yes it does. But Conservapedia is not particularly good at "paperwork". Everyone is focused on their own little realm. The person who wrote "Archimedes" didn't give a toss about the chance that someone would enliven the Sicilian Syracuse with the American one. There were editors who cared but one by one they disappeared or were rooted out by TK because they had possibly shown up across the road at you-know-where at some stage. There is one still editing - WesleyS (hi Wes!) - but he can't be everywhere. Look, let's talk on my [[User:AlanE|talk page]]. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 22:34, 25 September 2012 (EDT)
 
−
::Archimedes has his home back, and it's not in New York; try making good corrections to paperwork, and don't worry too much about someone else's "realm".  There's always something else to add to  :)  [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 23:08, 25 September 2012 (EDT)
 
−
:::Thank you for taking the time to fix this.  To me, we all owe a duty to our users/readers.  That should motivate us to leave our own comfort zones in order to build a better encyclopedia overall, rather than "realm" by "realm". [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 23:34, 25 September 2012 (EDT)
 
−
:::: Yes, thanks. Perhaps not so much "realms" as demesnes. Every time I have come across a failure in the "paperwork" I have either fixed it or tried to bring it to someone's attention. It hasn't always worked. If you were to [[guddle]] into my edits over the years you would come across my frustration. I have been banned for this, because I haven't always been "polite" in my frustration. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 00:43, 26 September 2012 (EDT)

Why does this article seem to be about someone called annie instead of kate ? Also why are these articles being copied directly from wikipedia ? [[User:Dvergne|Dvergne]] 21:25, 3 January 2013 (EST)

−
 
−
:There really was no reason that I understand. They said I violated copyright by not paraphrasing properly in several instances, but I did not. I gave attribution and gave the notations. I used the name "The Good Grinch". [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]] 21:58, 3 January 2013 (EST)

::: Again can I ask you to use this; <nowiki>:{{Copied from|site=Wikipedia|user=BHathorn|site user=}}</nowiki> template instead of adding a talk page message ! [[User:Dvergne|Dvergne]] 21:59, 3 January 2013 (EST)
 
−
 
−
Do I still use this ""Copied"  if the article is not on Wikipedia? If so, where do I put this label? (unsigned by  [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]])
 
−
 
−
: You would, however you would change to <nowiki>|site=</nowiki> to the site in which it was copied from. You also need to make sure that it was copied legally and not illegally. [[User:Dvergne|Dvergne]] 22:09, 3 January 2013 (EST)
 
−
 
−
:Dvergne, I did not actually copy the articles from Wikipedia. I had them on my own computer file and adjusted the links, etc. It is impossible to copy these articles from Wikipedia, as there is no trace of them there. If I did not have my own copies of the articles, they would have been lost. [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]] 22:16, 3 January 2013 (EST)

:: Fair enough, I suggest you add this experience to the some of the censorship at wikipedia articles here. [[User:Dvergne|Dvergne]] 22:26, 3 January 2013 (EST)
 
−
 
−
:If I added my experiences with Wikipedia, it would take many, many screens and would bore you to tears. I doubt many would believe me any way. Ultimately, I can't figure out how Wikipedia stays afloat considering the way it treats the writers. Any writer there must have his own agenda, whether he admits it or not, and one's agenda may not be in line with the grand poo-bahs there. [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]] 23:13, 3 January 2013 (EST)

I can't find the directions on downloading photos. Can someone direct me to the instructions? Thanks, [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]] ([[User talk:BHathorn|talk]]) 11:37, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

:This is a bit of an old question--I don't know if you've gotten your answer yet.  I don't know of any directions on CP, though other sites such as [http://www.wikihow.com/Download-Pictures-from-a-Website wikihow] offer some.  In general, right-click on the image and select the option labeled something like "Save image as..." or "Save as..."  You may find this option labeled differently between different Internet browsers.  They you simply select a location on your computer to save the file, and click the "save" button.  In Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome, you may need to download it first, then find it in the bottom bar of your browser and move it to somewhere you can get at later.  Does this help? --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 10:17, 29 July 2016 (EDT)

I don't look at my user page much, and just saw your question.  DavidB4 told you how to download a photo '''from''' Conservapedia.  I suspect that you want to upload photos '''to''' Conservapedia. First, find a photo that you can share (perhaps following the instructions above) or the URL of the photo on flickr or Wikimedia Commons.  Then leave a message on [[Conservapedia:Image upload requests]] and DavidB4 will upload it for you and tell you the name of the file that he created. Thanks for all that you do for CP. [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 14:13, 29 December 2016 (EST)

Hello,<br />
 
−
After some discussion (on [[User_talk:DavidB4#Conservapedia_IRC_channel|my talk page]] and [[User_talk:Aschlafly#IRC|Andy's]]) it has been decided that I start an [[Internet Relay Chat]] channel for Conservapedia, since our old one has been dead since 2009.  It is now registered and somewhat set up.  I don't know if you use IRC or are interested in doing so, but anyone with block privileges on Conservapedia can also get block privileges on the new IRC channel.  Unfortunately, IRC accounts are deleted after 30 days of being unused, so unless you plan on using the IRC at least once a month, there is probably not much point in registering.  In any case, feel free to try it out--if you account gets deleted, we can always make another one later.  If you are interested, please let me know!<br />

The IRC channel is: #conservapedia @irc.accessIRC.net<br />

Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else, also! --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 15:41, 11 April 2017 (EDT)

== New Template ==
 
−
 
−
Hello. I'd just like to inform you that it would be greatly beneficial if you were to assist on working on the following newly created template;
 
−
[[Template:Bible Cities]]
 
−
 
−
This template was created less than a week ago, and is an attempt to record all the biblical cities of the Old and New Testaments. It would be helpful if you, and other fellow editors at Conservapedia, were to assist in creating articles describing these biblical cities. If you are willing to start making some of these pages, but are not exactly sure how to approach the task, I'd suggest looking at [[Rhegium]] or [[Beeroth]], two very (very) recent pages created by myself ([[Shaaraim]] is another good example) to get a good understanding at how this thing should be done. If you're willing to go above and beyond, take a look at the page [[Amphipolis]], perhaps the best biblical city page to date. Just to note, this request is optional and you may help out on your own volition.[[User:Korvex|Korvex]]

Hi,<br />
 
−
I see that several of the articles you have been publishing (including [[Ray Hunkins]] and [[Gene Reynolds]]) contain text which is very similar to some which is already available elsewhere on the internet.  Are you the original author of this text, and just spreading it around?<br />

Thanks! --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 19:43, 4 September 2017 (EDT)

Yes, original author. The Ray Hunkins bio was deleted in 2016 from Wikipedia. [[User:BHathorn|BHathorn]] ([[User talk:BHathorn|talk]]) 23:31, 4 September 2017 (EDT)

:Okay, so then other people copied it from Wikipedia.  That seems to makes sense.  Alright, thanks for clarifying that! --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 17:06, 5 September 2017 (EDT)
