[[Special:Contributions/EvanW|My Contributions
For a couple days, I listed here "Articles I've Significantly Edited" and "Articles I've Created or Expanded from Stubs". But, those lists quickly got out-of-date. So, I'm just listing some of my areas of interest:
- Science. Examples: Precession of the equinoxes; Kirchoff's current law; Pioneer anomaly
- Math. Examples: Derivative; Change of variables
- Law. Examples: Missouri v. Jenkins; United States v. Bailey
- History, especially American history. Examples: United States presidential election, 1800; Crittenden Compromise; Treaty of Westphalia
- Adding helpful redirects and fixing poorly-organized articles
Returned from Hiatus
After reflection and prayer, I've decided to come back. Regardless of Conservapedia's significance, regardless of whether we ever catch up to the liberals - writing new articles is helpful at least to myself and to whomever we can now refer to them. So, I'm definitely back at least for that.
However, I've still not settled in my mind whether Conservapedia is or will be significant or comprehensive - in other words, an encyclopedia which a lot of people go to and take seriously. If we want this to happen, we've got a lot of work ahead of us. Wikilinks and grammar are just the beginning; we need a lot of serious work on articles. Conservapedia has such noble goals that I hope it does become significant; I hope you agree. If you do take up this work, either message me on my talk page or show up in Special:RecentChanges, and I'll be right there beside you.
By the way - Welcome back, User:MarkGall; and thanks, User:JacobB, for replying to my last message.

I am going on hiatus for the next couple weeks to pray about several things, including my participation in Conservapedia. It seems to me that this encyclopedia is a very, very long way from being comprehensive; and the small number of non-vandalizing users makes me think that it will not catch up for a long while. In addition, the several recent departures of prominent editors (e.g. User:Ksorenson, User:MarkGall, User:PatrickD) have caused me to rethink where this project seems to be going. Conservapedia has noble goals, but I am no longer sure that participating in it is the way God wants me to use my time.
I hope to reach a decision before Christmas, and I will (if possible) be back at least to explain it.
