#1 on Google

Barack Hussein Obama, since the recent upgrade, has leap frogged ahead of Wikipedia's article, and Mr. Barack Obama's very own website to occupy the #1 position on Google. Thank you, it was a brilliant idea, and very well executed. It is someting you need to be very proud, and we all appreciate your excellent work.

If I can be of any futher assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know. Rob Smith 22:25, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

Rob I couldn't have done it without you - I almost feel as though I should've posted this on your page first! I am very proud of the work we did, and the work that's been done since; thank you so much for your kind words.--I Duan 17:58, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

Greetings. I was about to do another round of the revert war with ELWisty on the ham sandwich stuff, and then saw that you had already done it. I don't know what to do about him. This "revert willful ignorance" stuff is pretty outrageous. A year ago he would have been banned so fast his head would spin, but in this new era of a "kinder gentler Conservapedia" I want to show caution and forbearance first, and the door second. But, make no mistake about it, he is either a parodist or so ignorant that he doesn't know the difference. Next, I have to confront him on "willful ignorance" in the "Gabriel's horn" article. Spider-sense is tingling strongly.

But we all have more important things to work on. I want to get into the issue of objectifying block reasons, which is a big project lately, but I've been awfully busy. SamHB 13:05, 16 July 2011 (EDT)

Holy sh*t. He's in full-scale revert war. I've got better things to do than deal with people like this! I want to help contribute to the ongoing project to make this a nicer place. But I guess part of being a better place is having articles get written with good judgment. Sigh. Asbestos suit--check. Flamethrower--check. Machine gun--check. Air cover--check. .....

Sorry for not responding for so long; I was all over the place but I assure you I read your comments and payed attention to what was going on, hence my recent block of the user. I must admit I'm out of my depth when it comes to the topic at hand, I've never heard of it before. But I'm hesitant to believe that the user is editing in bad-faith, I think perhaps he misunderstands encyclopedic style and can be overly curt and aggressive. hopefully the short block will change things.--I Duan 15:42, 17 July 2011 (EDT)

Sorry about the Madonna stuff

I've been editing the article a bit, and Legolas has chirped in to revert on a couple of occassions and his comments have all been directed toward EdPoor (and a bit over-the-top). It's been annoying. I think I've only commented about it in 2 places: 1) on Legolas's talk page and 2) on JamesWilson's talk page after he became involved and then commented on my talk page. I'll cease, though. Have a great day! SharonW 16:18, 17 July 2011 (EDT)

I apologize as well, and feel bad I got in this in the first place. I'm done too.--JamesWilson 16:21, 17 July 2011 (EDT)

It's no problem! You're both editing in good faith - that's super awesome. I felt it was getting over the top (with multiple messages to Ed and Andy), hence my comment, but no one's done anything wrong. Happy editing--I Duan 16:24, 17 July 2011 (EDT)

[block this guy please. NickP 17:35, 23 July 2011 (EDT)

Never mind I see Andy took care of him. NickP 17:37, 23 July 2011 (EDT)

RobS/Conservative comments

I take your point (about the general tone of the RobS/Conservative argument), but of course I daren't redact comments made by sysops. I've been rather appalled, however, by all the users who really have no say in these matters shooting their mouths off. I think it hurts the site in a lot of ways, so I've been trying to clean it up. However, I'm sure you're right; I'll back off and leave it to the sysops. Jcw 10:13, 1 August 2011 (EDT)

No I absolutely agree that the general tone of the debate is terrible (and the newer users instantly jumping it is also unsettling to me, so I share your resentment towards that kind of trolling). I've been trying to clean it up as well - and I applaud your effort; it's just that I have been, on occasion, been using Template:personal remark removed or reverting sysops, and I can't in good conscience say that TracyS's comment - while, again, I completely disagree from it - wasn't far more civil than content from higher-ups on both sides that I haven't reverted, but you're doing a great job.--I Duan 10:21, 1 August 2011 (EDT)

Thanks, I quite understand the position now. Jcw 10:24, 1 August 2011 (EDT)

Another suggestion as far as being on a faster track of becoming a Sysop

Another suggestion as far as being on a faster track of becoming a Sysop:

If you want to create a more collaborative spirit and increase the esprit de corps of Conservapedia, my suggestion at the present time is for a group of Conservapedians to pick a topic and then have editors create as many quality articles relating to that topic that are at least 500 words long. I would suggest that the articles not be stubs because that is not going to enhance the reputation of Conservapedia nor give it a sense of accomplishment. I created this project for a couple of editors who seemed interested in this topic: Conservapedia:Atheism Project I suggest creating a project with more widespread appeal because atheism is not on most people's radar in terms of the public at large - especially in the United States.
