Welcome, weary traveler! I see you have wiki experience. You'll fit in well here, I deem.

Please read Conservapedia:Commandments before getting too busy, and do communicate a lot with sysops, who have a measure of editorial authority here. :-) --Ed Poor ^Talk 21:34, 15 December 2007 (EST)

The image that you requested uploaded to your user page needs an edit as to copyright status, author of the work, date of the work, and source. Can you provide that info? Karajou 11:13, 17 December 2007 (EST)

Editing the info for the image is the same as any article. As to what you wrote for Wikipedia and uploaded here, please be advised that such needs Achlafly's permission; he'll more than likely approve it anyway, but it's a matter of course here. Karajou 11:48, 17 December 2007 (EST)

I've been under the impression (and have told others this) that no permission is required, as long as it is your own work, and not as modified by others. It also should have a notice (on the talk page) declaring you to be the author of the original (Wikipedia) article. Philip J. Rayment 18:14, 17 December 2007 (EST)

Philosophy articles

I see you are working on philosophy articles, as I am. I have started with the Pre-Socratics and, once I'm finished there, will go on to Aristotle (skipping over Plato). I am also developing a list of "high priority" philosophy articles. This list, which will be available soon, is designed to focus work on the most important such articles as well as to settle on naming conventions for same.

In all things, I try to keep in mind that Conservapedia is meant to be aimed at 14-18 year olds (see my comments on the "substance dualism" section of the "dualism" article).

Ah, so you read Latin! Ditto here, but its a bit rusty. The "Latin" article is on my list for re-working.

Eventually, Schlafly is going to need to set up some program where his horde of homeschoolers can vet the articles to see if they are understandable at the 14-18 year age level. Meanwhile, I just try to recall what it was like in the long ago distant past when I was that age. ;-)

Maybe I shouldn't skip over Plato. That is one reason for the "project" list of philosophy articles - perhaps better to divide up the work given the small number of folks right now so as to better cover the field. I will post a list of "high priority" philosophy articles sometime in the next few days and let you know where it is.

Welcome

I don't know why one of the other sysops or posters didn't already do this, but ...

greeting to you too

hi, fellow traveller. i too was involved at wikipedia and found my faith challenged, even though i tried to stick to the medical articles where it seldom arises as problematic. Goodluck with your writing endeavours. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DrMaine (talk)
