How so? It was merely trying to emulate the format and style of the Liberal Style page. It is not parody, it is creating a more complete encyclopedia. --[[User:AndrasK|AndrasK]] 21:36, 15 June 2008 (EDT)

:It ''was'' parody, and even if it was sincerely meant - which I doubt - that still wouldn't make it acceptable. Faulty appeal to "balance" or "a more complete encyclopedia" is part of [[Liberal Style]]. We are not here to make a "complete" encyclopedia. We are here to make a ''truthful'' and ''accurate'' encyclopedia, and attacking the project won't get you anywhere. [[User:Marty|Marty]] 21:42, 15 June 2008 (EDT)

But what defined it as a parody? I know parody as defined as "a literary or musical work in which the style of an author or work is closely imitated for comic effect or in ridicule." The Conservative Style page, however, is imitated not in ridicule but only in the name of being "truthful" and "accurate." The style of the liberal style page was imitated to maintain consistency. --[[User:AndrasK|AndrasK]] 21:45, 15 June 2008 (EDT)
