<big><center>'''Conservapedia History'''</center></big>
This page is intended to give newcomers to the site a glossary of terms & moments in Conservapedia history that they may hear about. It should be absolutely neutral, with a simple description of the event, and no spin whatsoever.
== Users ==
'''Richard:''' [[user:Richard|Richard]] was a Conservapedia administrator, until it was discovered that he was actually a liberal blog writer, using his administrator as a persona to mock Conservapedia, and gather material for his blog.
'''Icewedge:''' Icewedge is a recurring vandal on Conservapedia. Although his user name has appeared - and been blocked - in many forms (e.g., "Ic3w3dg3"), it is suspected that the persona of Icewedge has been adopted by more than one vandal. Either way, the Icewedge character is a vandal of unequaled persistence.
== Defining Moments ==
'''The [[Evolution]] War''': a conflict between many editors and administrators, all with different points of view, on the content of the [[evolution]] article page. The edit conflict was eventually solved by submission to the "Panel," which has only spoken on this one issue. The article's content - largely anti-Darwin invective - was deemed appropriate, locked, and kept in stasis.
'''The Great Donut War''': a make-believe edit war, where several users engaged in purposeful reversions and mock ideological conflict on the article [[donut]]. The goal was to make light of the many ideological conflicts on Conservapedia. The conflict ended when one user was banned (to be lifted within the hour), the [[donut]] article was locked, the banning editor locked his talk page, and submitted the article to the Panel. All the "damage" was later undone.
