Hi Joaquín Martínez. Thanks. I have read it. Did I do something wrong in my edits? Thanks.

ISP use only

You will cease from using proxies to access the site. Karajou 03:05, 25 April 2014 (EDT)

Maybe his IP address is blocked due to no fault of his own. Andy could unblock it if we had an email for him to write to as far as him giving Andy his IP address. Conservative 06:15, 25 April 2014 (EDT)
I sent you an e-mail, my ISP's IP is blocked. I blanked my IP address here for security reasons.

From: To: cpwebmaster@conservapedia.com Subj: User_talk:TheAmericanRedoubt - Proxy due to blocked ISP address Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 06:07:00 -0600 Good morning User:Karajou and User:Conservative. Please unblock my dedicated IP address of __________.

I have been enjoying editing and contributing to Conservapedia (my favorite source for Conservative viewpoints-news-knowledge). However, early on after creating my user account (User_talk:TheAmericanRedoubt) my dedicated ISP address of ________________ was blocked and I was forced to sign up for a VPN- Proxy in order to even see the site. I get a "Error 118 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out."

No one else at my ISP uses my IP address since I pay extra each month to have it dedicated to just me. I have been with that ISP since Dec. 2013.

I would love to continue working on content. For now, as I peruse each article of interest, I just correct spelling errors-typos and adding hyperlinks or See Also as appropriate based on Conservapedia:Quick_reference and Conservapedia:Editing_article_and_talk_pages until I can slowly establish to you administrators my sincerity and respect for this great resource.

Thank you in advance for unblocking my address. God bless. Sincerely, User:TheAmericanRedoubt 17:09, 26 April 2014 (EDT)

Redirect pages

Please place a lower priority on redirect pages and focus more on content creation. Conservative 06:10, 25 April 2014 (EDT)

Communist Party USA

Hello,

I noticed that you added Category:Communist Party USA to several pages. Please bear in mind that Conservapedia Commandment #1 applies to categories, and take special care to ensure that the categories of articles about living people do not include defamatory or unsourced content. Thanks, GregG 20:36, 3 November 2014 (EST)

Thank you for the advice, I will keep that in mind. TheAmericanRedoubt

Orphaned Pages

Hi, I see you are interested in doing administrative tasks, so would you please help us to de-orphan all Lonely pages from here?--JoeyJ 14:44, 1 December 2014 (EST)

Sure JoeyJ, I'd be happy to help. Any guidelines? I searched under Conservapedia:Orphan_pages but couldn't find anything. Should I base my work on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Orphan_pages as generic advice? TheAmericanRedoubt 14:58, 1 December 2014 (EST)

Thank you! Just take an article from Special:LonelyPages and link to it from another article. For example I did so with Biodynamic agriculture.--JoeyJ 15:07, 1 December 2014 (EST)
Got it. Thanks for the quick response. Will do. TheAmericanRedoubt 15:10, 1 December 2014 (EST)
You are doing a lot of needed work at Conservapedia. Keep up the good work! Conservative 22:47, 1 December 2014 (EST)


Red Links

The proliferation of red wikilinks in your edits reminds me of the Walrus and the Carpenter:

The walrus and the carpenter were walking close at hand,
They wept like anything to see such quantities of sand.
"If seven maids with seven brooms swept for half a year,
Do you suppose," the walrus said, "that they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it " said the carpenter, and wept a bitter tear.
I have tended to sweep up after me the links I have generated in my 200odd thousand words of edits here. Who has the job of sweeping up the multiple links you are throwing around with gay (ahem) abandon? I think you should start sweeping, boyo, because, from bitter experience, I know no one else is going to do it. AlanE 22:29, 10 December 2014 (EST)

Article Creation for Red Links

Thank you Alan for your concerned advice and great Walrus and Carpenter quote. Being an amateur radio ham operator, I have a lot of articles on that I have been working on and will be pasting them in soon. The amateur radio area has been a big source of my new "red links" for article wiki-links. Same thing in the area of economics-finance. I do indeed intend to sweep up after my red links.

Thank you. Appreciate the reply. AlanE 22:54, 10 December 2014 (EST)

See also and Contrast

Although I am only very new here, I don't think your see also and contrast with sections look very nice or add much to the articles. Having such info in an popup box like they have on some wikipedia pages might be a better way to go. Phil PhilH 02:43, 11 December 2014 (EST)
