I'd appreciate some other opinions in the issue currently causing the dispute for [[Left Behind: Eternal Forces]]. See the Talk page and edit history. [[User:Jinxmchue|Jinxmchue]] 14:38, 17 March 2008 (EDT)

:This is the first edit by Urushnor: [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Left_Behind:_Eternal_Forces&diff=394114&oldid=393353]. Based on this, I'm for granting control of the article to Jinxmchue. [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 14:59, 17 March 2008 (EDT)

== Queer Theory ==

I created the article [[Queer theory]] some months ago, and worked to make it a respectable encyclopedia article describing this body of literary and social criticism, devoid of pushing any political view. It had applicable quotes from a landmark scholarly paper in the theory, one about Hemingway, was linked in from the postmodernism article, and was a pretty good article, if I do say so myself.

+

This last week, Ed Poor deleted it with the edit comment that it was a silly article. He didn't go onto the talk page and say he was going to delete it, he didn't make any arguments, he just arbitrarily decided that it was silly and there was no chance he could be wrong. As with all deleted articles, of course, now the content appears to be gone irrevocably.

+

I pointed this out to Ed, asking him to restore it if he could or why he was deleting it, and a brief discussion ensued on his talk page. The entirety of it can be found at [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User_talk%3AEd_Poor&diff=457403&oldid=457402 this link], wherein Ed deletes it all. There was no other communication between him and I, and I think you can see that I do not make anything like a personal remark or that could be blockable. Nonetheless, I was blocked by Ed for "personal remarks."

+

Another sysop has intervened to unblock me, but I think this is a flagrant abuse of Ed's power that has demonstrably made the encyclopedia a worse resource. Even if it had been a silly article, it was a whole order of magnitude better than [http://www.conservapedia.com/Darwin_and_Nietzsche this recent article by Ed], so there is a clear double standard operating just because I am liberal. Furthermore, I have specialized training in the area under discussion, yet this was ignored. And even furthermore, blocking me to avoid the discussion was an abusive thing to do.

+

I would like, at the least, the article restored or removed from the deleted pages protected category of redirects so I can remake it. A reprimand to Ed would also probably be appropriate. Thank you.--[[user:TomMoore|<font color="#000066" >Tom Moore</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:TomMoore|fiat justitia ruat coelum]]</sup> 14:04, 25 May 2008 (EDT)
