See [[User:Crocoite/Contributions|My Contributions to Conservapedia]] for examples. | + | I have been thinking about this and praying, and I have to conclude that for the time being I morally cannot bring myself to participate in a project that brands a confessing Christian as a non-Christian. |

| + | <blockquote> "I don’t begrudge people who feel the need to find some terminology to |
| | + | demarcate themselves from Mormons. How about calling themselves “non- |
| | + | Mormons”, rather than making up a name for Mormons—“non-Christian”– |
| | + | which Mormons don’t agree with and don’t want to wear? |
| | | | |
| − | ==Message to Conservapedia editors==
| + | Insisting on applying that term to Mormons is like someone coming up |
| − | As long as you are here to make POSITIVE contributions to Conservapedia, you will find me easy to get along with. We're building an encyclopedia here and we need your help.
| + | and slapping a sticker on my back that says “Stupid”. They are well |
| | + | aware that, without specific explanation, it is understood by many |
| | + | people to mean that Mormons do not believe that Jesus of Nazareth is |
| | + | the Son of God, the resurrected Savior of the world. Knowing this, |
| | + | people who use the term, without caveats to specify that it does not |
| | + | mean what it sounds like, are creating a false understanding about |
| | + | Mormons, and are therefore bearing false witness against their LDS |
| | + | neighbors. |
| | | | |
| − | Don't just complain on the talk pages. You're an editor... make the changes (if the article is not protected)
| + | Since they know that Mormons don’t like the label, people who use it |
| | + | are intentionally giving offense. How Christian is it to do that? |
| | + | Didn’t Jesus say something about people who call their brother “a |
| | + | fool” being in danger of hell fire? " </blockquote> |
| | | | |
| − | (''see below for clarification'').
| + | I will now come out and say that any of you posting on Conservapedia |
| | + | that Mormons or Catholics are not Christians are being unchristian |
| | + | yourself and are denigrating me and my faith. |

| − | *Deleting [[parody]]
| |
| − | :NOTE - [[Liberal]]s, this does not mean you call something you disagree with a parody, and then delete it. If I see you do this, the edit will be reverted and you will be blocked.
| |
| − | *Deleting [[vandalism]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Troublemakers===
| |
| − | I have been editing on Conservapedia over a year, and I've seen my share of vandals and troublemakers. I want to be very clear on how I deal with negative behavior.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Don't make [[liberal]] edits to this encyclopedia. This is a [[conservative]], [[Christian]] [[encyclopedia]]. Your liberal edits will be reverted and you will be blocked.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Don't try and enforce rules on other editors. If I see you bullying other editors and causing trouble, you will be blocked.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *<u>I don't like fact tags.</u> If you see something that is not sourced, go find a reference yourself. If you have made a reasonable effort to find a source and were unsuccessful, mention that in the article's talk page. We're building an encyclopedia here, not just adding fact tags and creating work for others.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===These Deletions are Wrong===
| |
| − | *Deleting edits ''you don't agree with''. This is a [[conservative]], [[Christian]] [[encyclopedia]]. You <u>don't</u> get to delete edits that you don't agree with (with or without fact tags). If I see you do this, the edit will be reverted and you will be blocked.

| |
| − | ==Message to all [[liberal]]s / [[progressive]]s ==
| |
| − | I tolerate liberals on Conservapedia because they give us good examples of how liberals act. ''Sometimes'' they even make positive contributions to Conservapedia.
| |
| − | I have liberal friends outside of Conservapedia and ''usually'' we can "agree to disagree".
| |
| − | | |
| − | ''If you're <u>not</u> a troublemaker, then the rest of this section doesn't apply to you.''
| |
| − | | |
| − | <blockquote><u>If you're here to cause trouble or whine about the liberal articles, you should read the rest of this section.</u></blockquote>
| |
| − | *'''Vandals'''
| |
| − | :'''I have NO tolerance for vandals to Conservapedia.''' You will get <u>no</u> warning before I ban you.
| |
| − | :*The standard definition of [[vandalism]] applies on Conservapedia.
| |
| − | :*Anti-American edits are not allowed in Conservapedia. This is NOT an NPOV site. CP is pro-American, pro-conservative and pro-Christian. Inserting Anti-American edits is considered vandalism.
| |
| − | :*Never revert the actions of an [[administrator]]. The proper course is to ask the admin to explain his reversion - not reverting it. Reverting an admin's changes is considered vandalism.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *'''Usernames'''
| |
| − | :You will be banned if I see a username that is not appropriate. Use your first name and last initial.
| |
| − | *'''Troublemakers / Whiners / MYOB'''
| |
| − | :You knew when you signed up to edit on Conservapedia that this is a conservative, Christian encyclopedia. Don't come here trying to enforce rules, deleting stuff you don't like, picking fights with editors / administrators, whining on the talk pages, etc. If I determine you're here to cause trouble and / or whine, you will be blocked.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Of course, MYOB means "Mind Your Own Business".
| |
| − | :*If you see another editor get banned and you rush to their defense - You will receive a 1 day ban if I ban another user and you "tattle" to another sysop or post your tattle to other talk pages.
| |
| − | :*If you're <u>not</u> an administrator and you warn other editors about being blocked - You will receive a 3 day ban for being a troublemaker.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :After you return from your block, you should concern yourself with improving Conservapedia or your next block will be longer.
| |
| − | *[[Conservapedia:Deletion Policy]]
| |
| − | :<u>The Administrators are the final authority for deciding what should and should not be deleted on CP.</u> Some articles will NOT be deleted - no matter what your liberal heart desires. If you add the <nowiki>{{Delete Notice}}</nowiki>, your edit will be reverted. If you revert my edit, you will be blocked.
| |
| − | *'''Conservative Bias?'''
| |
| − | :''Do you realize that '''Conservapedia''' is a [[conservative]] website?'' Do you have [[Conservaphobia]]? You should not be surprised to see a conservative analysis here. We are <u>not</u> going to have a NPOV. As a [[conservative]], I am happy Conservapedia exists as an alternative to [[Wikipedia]]. I ''prefer'' a [[conservative bias]].
