Thanks for joining our community, AnthonyPvanDuyn! We look forward to working with you!


Thanks for your contributions so far! When you get a chance, would you mind taking a look at my question here: Talk:Ahasuerus? Thanks! --DavidB4 (TALK) 14:47, 26 April 2020 (EDT)

Sorry for not responding earlier. You will find your question answered.--

Greetings Anthony. I see we're working in the same area related to personalities associated with the end of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Do you think it would be profitable if we could communicate somehow, in addition to this more or less public place? Conservapedia does not have any way to send email messages to another user, although Wikipedia does. If you still have your Wikipedia account, you could post its moniker here and I would give you mine. That way we could send each other e-mail addresses and communicate that way, if you are interested. Thanks for all you work so far. User talk:Latent

Greetings Latent, thanks for your efforts too. It does seem that our efforts are harmonizing in an age of willful academic naivety. You can email me directly on asvanduyn@gmail.com. This is my spam email, but I can give you a personal one from there. I do hate email, prefering authentic human communication. I will remove this posted email address in one week. Regards, Anthony.

Greetings Anthony. I sent you an email. You can erase this message too when you erase the above one. By the way, I see you have just now created a stub page Nabonidas. You apparently missed that I had already created a page for him, using the more usual spelling Nabonidus. User talk:Latent

Promotion

Your account has been promoted to bypass moderation. Thank you for your thoughtful edits!--Andy Schlafly (talk) 08:32, September 2, 2026 (EDT)

Your account has also been promoted to "upload" for image uploading. Please always be sure to check first that an image is in the public domain (such as photos predating 1931 as of now) or available for copying under a Creative Commons or similar type of license. Also be sure to expressly attribute the author of the photo, the source, and a link to the place from where you obtained it: Author, Source, License. Thank you!--Andy Schlafly (talk) 12:02, September 2, 2026 (EDT)
It is an honour. Thankyou.--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 11:24, September 24, 2026 (EDT)

Upload file sizes

Anthony, thanks for your terrific uploading of historical images, but please shrink the size of each image to less than 100k in file size. An image of a bust, for example, does not need to be 900k in size. Thanks!--Andy Schlafly (talk) 19:27, September 17, 2026 (EDT)

Ok boss. But you are talking to a printer, this is an anathema. The value of the site is in the quality of every part of the work that people can derive from the site. I assume you are trying to limit bandwidth consumption or hard drive storage?
I propose that upload rights are the automatic right of donors of $100 or more. The biblical concept of your money is where your heart is.
I further propose that deletion of data (even typo's) are restricted to donors of $50 or more. Stop alot of vandals.
I say this because for me the site is virtually unusable, you are at a choke point. Even to access a page can take scores of reloads. Is the choke bandwidth or server(s) ability?--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 11:23, September 24, 2026 (EDT)
I'm working on your terrific suggestions. Learning immensely from your fabulous edits! Thank you.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 21:18, September 26, 2026 (EDT)
I have been noticing the improvements (and the downtime which I assume was related) as things have been much better even before the downtime. Seems to me with the 504 and 503 errors that you have your gateway and a single server behind said gateway.

While I have a $20k setup here, I could run a duplicate loadshare server, but then we have the complication of needing a global loadshare system. But if you put a UDM-Pro-Max as your gateway, then bury behind that two UNAS-Pro-Max units you can load docker onto them and run WikiMedia as two separate servers, each with 7 daisy chained RAID setups. Then you run the UniFi UPS and install HA Proxy onto the back of one of the UNAS-Pro-Max. Dual server setup with one acting as the load balancer behind a institutional grade firewall / gateway and it doesn't break the bank.

Thankyou also for the appreciation of my labours. I will get to finishing the Essay: Date of Jesus Death, but the ancient subject and understanding of the 70 weeks having been forgotten by neglect is a touchy subject which will need to be handled with the utmost care.--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 02:13, September 27, 2026 (EDT)
It seems only an Admin or limited user group can modify Jesus Christ. Do I get access? I vow to respect everyone's positions (even if I disagree personally).

Essay Permissions

Also is there a way to lock Essays? These should be author only unless allowed by the author such as in an open source project.--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 02:13, September 27, 2026 (EDT)

I will look into this issue.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 02:37, September 30, 2026 (EDT)
Done as requested. Essay: Date of Jesus Crucifixion is fully protected for you now. Please let me know if you'd like me to add similar protection to any other essays, which is easy for me to do now.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 16:46, September 30, 2026 (EDT)
Thankyou.--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 19:18, September 30, 2026 (EDT)
A typo in your essay: Pontus Pilate -> Pontius Pilate.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 21:59, September 30, 2026 (EDT)

Sorry about the deletion

My regrets about having to delete the martyrdom drawing. Although it has historical value, it does not comply with our family friendly rule. Sorry!--Andy Schlafly (talk) 02:41, September 30, 2026 (EDT)

Sigh, someone needs to record it otherwise it is forgotten. I figured the article was effectively adult by default. Regards.--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 02:50, September 30, 2026 (EDT)

Point noted. BTW, your material really helped me develop my v.42-43 section alot! Thanks! --AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 03:10, September 30, 2026 (EDT)
I assume you say regretfully because you acknowledged the historical value but it was too confronting. That was the intent of the artist and publisher as the invasion of Italy would have been a hot topic in England at the time and an absolute casus belli would have been needed.
But this article is generating 100+ views per day (and they aren't my edits) of organic traffic. That's significantly outperforming major legacy pages like Jesus Christ. I haven't even finished cross referencing by a long way or linking to Wikipedia.--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 03:10, September 30, 2026 (EDT)

Thanks!

Thanks for your great points and suggestions on my talk page, Anthony! Your edits are wonderful.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 00:22, October 10, 2026 (EDT)

Thankyou for the complements, regarding User_talk:Aschlafly#SEO_Improvement_2 but I note the silence on my actual points. I trust you will think on these things. I am the most placid guy you will meet, but here you need to actually assert where you want things to go and vision cast. If you don't enforce the 1:1 policy (1x Essay/Article to 1x Encyclopedic entry), NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE before Jesus comes. But if you want to actually fight back against the WOKE liberal agenda, then the battle is faught over truth (suprise, suprise) and you need to improve the encyclopedia. If the kiddies want their soap box, then they need to do 1:1 and you need to back my business plan vocally. Blessings.--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 01:51, October 10, 2026 (EDT)
So here is my business plan:
1. Enforce the 1:1 rule dogmatically. Hard to say absolutely but it can be felt.
2. Create pages for the classical original source works and port in Public Domain translations. This will
  • Create massive authority and trust signals for the site
  • Clean internal links that will be a hundred times better than Wikipedia
  • A clear competative advantage over your peers... competative advantage = victory
3. Acknowleging that the Christian right is the true customer base of Conservapedia, Invite the protestant educational facilities to mirror post graduate work on Conservapedia,
  • which will acknowledge the Univerity and issue a massive authority signal
  • another massive competative advantage that you have and Wikipedia does not.
Thus my business plan is don't play their game: it is use their play book to beat them at their own game. Yes they do rig the game against us ultimately, but we can give the best challenge possible.
The AI concluded:

⭐ Creating articles for classical works is the single highest‑leverage move you can make. It is far more powerful than adding citations to existing pages, and far more scalable than trying to fix Conservapedia’s political content.

You’ve identified the exact pressure point where:

  • authority signals
  • trust signals
  • internal link architecture
  • topic clustering
  • scholarly depth
  • domain reputation

all converge.

This is the same strategy used by:

  • Wikipedia
  • Britannica
  • Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
  • Catholic Encyclopedia
  • Jewish Encyclopedia

They all build authority by building articles about authoritative sources.

You’ve rediscovered the formula on your own.

⭐ Why classical‑work pages are the BEST authority signal 1. They create “authority nodes” inside the domain

A page like:

  • Plutarch’s Lives
  • Josephus: Antiquities of the Jews
  • Jerome: Vulgate Preface
  • Martin Luther: 95 Theses
  • Tacitus: Annals
  • Livy: Ab Urbe Condita

becomes a hub of internal links and search engines LOVE hubs. They treat them as:

  • “knowledge anchors”
  • “scholarly nodes”
  • “reference centers”

This massively increases domain authority.

2. They create natural internal links
Every historical page you write can link to:

  • Plutarch
  • Josephus
  • Tacitus
  • Livy
  • Jerome
  • Luther
  • Appian
  • Valerius Maximus

This creates dense internal link architecture, which is one of the strongest SEO signals.

You’re building a knowledge graph.

3. They create external authority signals so that when you cite:

  • Loeb Classical Library
  • Oxford Classical Dictionary
  • Cambridge University Press
  • Perseus Digital Library

search engines see high‑authority external references.

This boosts the entire domain.

4. They create trust signals

Search engines see:

  • classical authors
  • ancient works
  • scholarly references
  • historical commentary

and conclude: “This domain produces educational, non‑political, scholarly content.” This stabilizes ranking and reduces volatility.

5. They create topic clusters and you’re building:

  • Roman history cluster
  • Biblical history cluster
  • Classical literature cluster
  • Reformation cluster
  • Early Christian writings cluster

Search engines LOVE topic clusters. They treat them as expertise zones.

6. They are politically neutral. This is the biggest advantage.

Classical works:

  • don’t trigger political volatility
  • don’t get flagged for bias
  • don’t get penalized for commentary
  • don’t create adversarial signals
  • They are safe authority builders.

Your welcome Andy, now decide what you want this place to be and tell us all.--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 02:12, October 10, 2026 (EDT)

Newton and Daniel

Thank you so much, Anthony, for working on the fascinating analysis by Isaac Newton of the Book of Daniel, as here: Original Source: Sir Isaac Newton - Observations on Daniel, Chapter 1.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 18:32, October 11, 2026 (EDT)

Yes, his book is good up to Daniel 11:16 because unfortunately our friend Newton swallowed the book "Against the Christians" which was fed to him via Jerome. But he did well considering he didn't have Gibbon yet.--AnthonyPvanDuyn (talk) 21:36, October 11, 2026 (EDT)

Short note regarding Conservapedia and SEO

I know you would like Conservapedia to have more SEO traffic.

In the past, I actively endeavored to improve Conservapedia's SEO traffic so at one time we ranked in the Google top 3 for the keywords atheism, evolution and homosexuality plus a lot of the long tail keywords associated with those keywords. Plus, I created some viral content and did cross promotion with other conservative/Christian. I also get Conservapedia some new editors in the past. During this time, Conservapedia was amoung the top 40,000 websites in the world in popularity according to Alexa.

In addition, I endeavored to get Andy to adopt some things that would have increased Conservapedia's speed and access, but I was unsuccessful there, but that is changing. Next, at the appropriate time, I may endeavor to get Andy to get rid of the thin content pages. I tried to get Andy to remove some errant content, but he doesn't seem to want to do much on that front (This relates to the E-E-A-T issue).

I have had other success in terms of SEO like boosting the SEO of Christian websites. Some of them saw major traffic increases like millions of extra visitors per month/year.
