Cat Cora
It's correct now because you changed it from her doing badly because she is gay to her marrying her partner. Plus, I don't think this person warrants inclusion. Trust me, Alphak is a vandal. ameda 23:08, 15 November 2009 (EST)
- Agreed; he probably is. But, I prefer keeping real information even if vandals add it. Notability is another matter, though - I know Wikipedia's policy, but does Conservapedia have one? It doesn't seem to be in the Commandments or Guidelines.--EvanW 23:15, 15 November 2009 (EST)
- Understand that I reverted the first edit which is exactly the type of vandalism we get here. While I am not the most knowledgeable on this site yet on the yeas or neas I have seen celebrity articles deleted, even A-listers. ameda 23:33, 15 November 2009 (EST)
- Great question; I think we need to discuss notability. I just asked Andy.

- Our policy is to not identify a person as a Homosexual unless that is their primary notriety. In this case, Cat Cora is notable for being a celebrity chef, not a Gay activist. --ṬK/Admin/Talk 20:09, 29 November 2009 (EST)
- Sure; I'm fine with that. I really don't have the least idea who she is, but I just dove in when User:Ameda and a probable vandal were re-re-reverting each other to point out that Cat Cora exists. I don't care about the article in the least. --EvanW 20:09, 29 November 2009 (EST)

Thanks for Indians - those are the ones Michael Crichton was talking about. --Ed Poor Talk 17:37, 17 November 2009 (EST)
Leaving
Let me just address some of your concerns:
- It seems to me that this encyclopedia is a very, very long way from being comprehensive;
You're right - that's precisely why you should stay and help us improve it!
- and the small number of non-vandalizing users makes me think that it will not catch up for a long while.
It will take a while, if editors leave because they think it will take a while. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy!
- 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.
KSorenson's reaction to certain news stories indicate she may have always intended to leave. I've spoken to MarkGall in private, and he very well may be coming back at some time. The simple fact is, people come and people go, but these particular editors have only been here for a few months and their departure hardly signals the death knell for Conservapedia.
- Conservapedia has noble goals, but I am no longer sure that participating in it is the way God wants me to use my time.
If you agree with the goals of Conservapedia, I implore you to stay and help us build this project. JacobB 22:40, 18 November 2009 (EST)
Software naming conventions
Hi, Evan. Would you like to help me come up with a naming convention for our computer software articles? I've written an article on restarting the Vista print spooler, and I've moved Windows and Vista. What are your thoughts? --Ed Poor Talk 10:17, 1 December 2009 (EST)
- Sure; I'll be thinking about it. Just from a quick scan, we've got some inconsistency: C programming language but Java and Python. (Hey, what about the snakes and island?) I'd lobby for one consistency: either "Name (type)" such as "Windows (operating system)" or "Name type" such as "Windows operating system". "Name" breaks down too fast against Java (island), Python (snake), and Windows (architectural). "Brand Name" breaks down against C and Python, which don't have a company behind them. I'll be thinking more later today.--EvanW 10:25, 1 December 2009 (EST)
