Talk:Badger skins (Bible)

From Conservapedia
Jump to: navigation, search

I tried to provide with this article a relatively brief informative condensed summary overview of a topic that if treated fully would fill a thick book, or would at least consume huge gigabites of memory online. The material is essentially drawn from a printout I generated upon completion of an article I had submitted to Wikipedia before I knew of the existence of Conservapedia. I'm the author. Access to the original material online is now permanently blocked by Wikipedia policy. I have abridged and improved it here in the article Badger skins (Bible).

Wikipedia censures and prohibits all evidence of the documented history of the translation of the word tahash in the Bible. I did not know this when I first went to that site for information on the puzzling KJV translation "badgers' skins". There was virtually nothing, except for a brief sentence in the Wikipedia article "Tabernacle". So I wrote an article and submitted it, and it was approved for creation, after the word "Bible" had been removed from the title "Badger skins (Bible)", making it read simply "Badger skins". I wrote a related article on the legendary animal "Tahash" under that heading, an empty page which was already in existence with only a redirect to "Tabernacle". I was pleased with the results of both and went away for about 2 weeks. Then I returned and took a look again to see if anyone had improved it.

Every explicit reference to the outer covering of the tabernacle as badgers' skins and as tachash skins has been removed. This was a shock. Senior Wikipedia administrators had deleted and placed a "creation protection" barrier on the article "Badger skins" 4 days after it was completed, approved and created. The moment these admins became aware of its existence, they initiated a SockPuppetInvestigation, charged its primary author with sockpuppetry and demanded complete article deletion. They emptied the related article page "Tachash" of all content and have made it again a redirect to article "Tabernacle". Everyone who contributed content to both articles has been blocked indefinitely. Two years ago the same thing was done.

I have tracked down some of the history of this topic on Wikipedia, and some of the URL links to the unbelievably hostile Wikipedia Admin reaction against it are placed here for anyone who cares to read it. (Pray before you do!)

Hi again,
Sockpuppets of Hermitstudy/Michael Paul Heart,
Unexpected supporting evidence (this one includes a link to the Conservapedia article Examples of Bias in Wikipedia.)

On my Conservapedia talk page is a request from administrator Conservative for help with some articles, the top priority being an expansion of Atheist worldview. Now that I have basically completed "Badger skins (Bible)", I'll take a break for about 2 weeks and will then get right to work on it (November). I've read the material on the "Atheist worldview" page and already have some ideas how to best expand it.

I'm looking forward to it!

God + bless you all. --Dataclarifier 18:43, 24 October 2014 (EDT)

The postscript

I wrote the postscript as a signal celebration that this Article has been fully realized and completed 00:51, 29 October 2014 EDT. I will print out a copy of this version for my own records in the morning. Any time encyclopedic improvements can be made to this version by any other member of the Conservapedia community the postscript can freely be deleted. It's all yours. (I'm taking a break!)
