Come on over! --LinkedToCommiePlot 10:53, 23 September 2007 (EDT)

Duly noted, but I think this link on my page would get me into more trouble than I am in already ;) --Jenkins 11:02, 23 September 2007 (EDT)

*Faceplants*

Hey, really sorry about the edit conflicts there. Which one should we keep? "Psychology" or "psychology"? Feebasfactor 11:50, 23 September 2007 (EDT)

It cracked me up, too. After reading through yours, I'd vote for mine. It's shorter and less verbose than yours, but it's better than copy-pasting since it's a non-public-domain source. The articles I created are short and could use some expansion, though; so if you can contribute more to my quasi-stubs, be my guest! I just wanted to fill out the psychology links quickly since I got to head out soon. --Jenkins 11:54, 23 September 2007 (EDT)
Fair enough. I wasn't sure about the public-domain-ness of the source; best to keep it short and legal, then add more later. Feebasfactor 12:01, 23 September 2007 (EDT)

Links.....

  • Very brave! Even I think twice about going there! The paranoia level must now be at Defcon3! --şŷŝôρ-₮KṢρёаќǃ 16:24, 24 September 2007 (EDT)
There? ... Or do you mean the people who came here to solicit certain external links? --Jenkins 16:26, 24 September 2007 (EDT)
Ah, I see... I think... but right now, I'm slightly handicapped in terms of communication, starting even with basic mail (although I should be able to send mails via CP, come to think of it...). And I never used IMs and never had the urge to try it. Right now, I'm mostly a smallscale editor. Maybe I'll get/need it once I get more settled in? --Jenkins 16:41, 24 September 2007 (EDT)

Protection spree?

(The initial post was removed from Conservative's talk page after just six minutes) Apologies if this comes over a bit stronger than intended - I only try to help and learn here on CP, but...

I didn't bother to check beyond September, but (to be blunt) the concept of collaboration on a wiki is completely lost on you, isn't it? I'm sorry, but you never replied to my question on Talk:Brights Movement (Can I assume that you don't bother to check the talk pages of articles you "own"?), so I'll ask here.

I couldn't help but notice that you instantly protect most articles you contribute to in a major way (notable exception being Greenleaf, although I still kinda wait for a talk page reply there... Have you moved on from there? Then I might start editing in earnest there...) - is that normal behavior here on CP? I'm new, so the question is genuine. I'm honestly confused - CP's way of doing things is radically different than that of most projects I watched or joined, so I'm not taking anything for granted by now. --Jenkins 22:01, 24 September 2007 (EDT)

I have found that often atheists get very aggressive on wikis. Conservative 22:08, 24 September 2007 (EDT)
So the answer is to simply protect all articles that have anything to do with atheism (and thus with religion, and thus with creationism, and thus with evolution, which is the other end of the chain)?
I repeat my question: Is this the CP way of doing things? Blind protection because some evil atheist could get the wild idea to edit? --Jenkins 22:16, 24 September 2007 (EDT)
