It's not a template, and it seems to be built into the wikicode much like <nowiki>{{CURRENTDAY}}</nowiki>. I don't know a lot about how wikis work behind the scenes, but the template is used on Wikipedia, so if it doesn't work all of the time it works most of the time.</s>

| − | | + | |
| − | :This is from the page of the WP template that I, uh, "borrowed" from: ''This template wraps the magic word DISPLAYTITLE so that it works automatically in any namespace (main, talk, template, etc.) to decapitalise the first letter of the name of a page it is transcluded on. (Previously, this template achieved this using JavaScript, but the DISPLAYTITLE method makes the change for all users, even those with JavaScript disabled in their browser).''

| − | == Thanks for defending me ==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Thanks for pointing out how others had mistaken comments I made. You are correct with what I said about lying in the Bible, and Peter is a perfect example. However, you and they are wrong to claim that I "cherry pick". My position has always been that you can determine whether something is meant to be taken literally by the context and knowledge of the language, as Professor James Barr (not a creationist) did (see [[creation week]]). And contrary to a claim made by someone of whom I'll have more to say in a moment (this is for their benefit) that [[creation week]] has no evidence, it in fact has (a) a number of supporting arguments about word use (admittedly unreferenced), (b) a referenced quote from an expert (Barr) who also says the other experts agree, and (c) a referenced summary of a formal study into the text. Perhaps ''he'' is simply seeing (or not seeing) what he wants to (not) see. Before I saw your comments, I was thinking of saying something anyway (such as on my user page). That same accuser (Kels) also accused ''me'' and Creation Ministries International of lying, ("he won't hesitate to lie and twist at the slightest opportunity" and "He accepts every lie creationontheweb feeds him") yet offered no evidence of that whatsoever. I accept that many people don't accept my views and think that I'm mistaken, deluded, or even stupid, but I don't go around saying things that I know to be untrue (and nor does CMI). Accusations like that without solid supporting evidence are nothing short of libel (not that I could be bothered suing), and he is despicable for making the accusation, and should be censured by others there, but by their silence they are just as bad. And they have the gall to criticise Conservapedia! Finally, to answer a loaded question, I accept both parts of the creation account, because I see no conflict between them (just like most of the rest of the millions who have studied the Bible for centuries) [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 09:34, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
| + | |
| − | :Probably these others don't believe in censoring. Maybe you should go and explain your points of view to them at their place. I don't know what this Kels accused you of, but you can't deny that creationontheweb is your number one source of "information". Go and debate them there. Here, as you know, it is impossible. --[[User:JulianAdderley|JulianAdderley]] 09:52, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
| + | |
| − | :: Since when it is censoring to take someone to task for libel? That CreationOnTheWeb is my main source was not the accusation. How do you not know what he accused me of when I've quoted it above?? I don't go there because I'd end up spending too much time disputing so much of what they say. I spend too much time disputing here without doing it there also. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:18, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

| − | :::I talked about censoring as you yourself said "... and should be '''censured''' by others there". I find it unfair and cowardly that you attack them here instead of debating with them.

| + | |
| − | :::: ''censure: to criticise adversely; disapprove; find fault with; condemn.'' That's not the same thing as ''censor''. My reasons for not debating there have been given several times. I agree that the situation is unfortunate, but it's not out of cowardice that I don't debate there. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 21:38, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

| − | | + | |
| − | Sorry, Philip, I didn't mean to imply that you cherry pick (though when I reread the post I was agreeing with, it does seem that that's what I agreed to!). What I meant to say was that you draw a different line than I do on what's literal and what's figurative in the Bible. I've seen you debating this a lot across the site and I know you don't use anything so silly as quote mining or cherry picking :) [[User:HelpJazz|Help]][[User talk:HelpJazz|Jazz]] 16:57, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

| − | ::::::::: Although a plural word indicates more than one, my understanding it that it is more than one ''unit'' ("billion" being the unit in this case), which doesn't allow for fractions, so "billions" means at least 2 billion.

| − | :::::::::: I tend to agree that Americans tie their religion too closely to their politics, but on the other hand, I can understand where he's probably coming from (although I should point out that I don't know what prompted the first post in this section). A Christian believes that God is the ultimate reality, and therefore that God's standards are more important than anything else more worldly. Therefore, in comparing two different candidates, the one that most closely follows God's standards is the one that Christians should vote for. That is, God's standards (such as on moral issues) are not just a minor consideration, but should be a major deciding factor. To that extent, I would agree with Jpatt. [[User:Philip J.

| − | :::::::::::What you missed was the conversaion on (the now blocked) [[user:Ema]]'s talk page. She said something about how Obama was going to win, to which Jpatt replied: "Funny how you accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and support Barack Obama." I don't think there's anything wrong to use your faith as a factor in deciding who to vote for, but to presume that ones (clearly at least partially incorrect, as seen by the gay marriage comment on this page) interpretation is infallible is hubris at its best.

He is currently edit warring on the [[Rodney King]] page and is generally making things difficult for other users? Is there anything we can do? I think this [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Rodney_King&diff=550213&oldid=550211 this edit] sums up everything. [[User:SamuelA|SamuelA]] 18:03, 5 November 2008 (EST)

It is very unclear right now what direction Andy wishes to go and we should avoid any indication to our valued editors of what the future may hold that may not in fact be fulfilled. It can only cause possible embitterment or disenchantment and we certainly don't want that among any of the people who have made great contributions to our project.
