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. TheAmericanRedoubt 22:43, 10 December 2014 (EST)

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)

Thanks - Popup Box Suggestion

Hi Phil, thanks for the suggestion, I will look into doing a popup box nav bar instead. Thanks for the feedback. Welcome to Conservapedia. TheAmericanRedoubt 02:46, 11 December 2014 (EST)

NOTE to Fellow Editors and Admins: Over the next few days, I am working on a collapsible "See Also" navigation template for the diverse topics of the Internet security article I am also working on. The template will be based on the Template:Liberalism "look and feel" since it has a lot of topics in a small amount of "real estate". Also, please note that I plan to rapidly submit articles for the "red links". Thank you for your patience. TheAmericanRedoubt 12:10, 11 December 2014 (EST)

Moved your general message to Conservapedians to the community portal

I moved your your general message to Conservapedians to the community portal located at: http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:Community_Portal#Message_from_User:_TheAmericanRedoubt

It will be seen by more people that way. Conservative 01:32, 13 December 2014 (EST)

Thank you

Thanks, I didn't know about that http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:Community_Portal#Message_from_User:_TheAmericanRedoubt portal. I will spend some time on it. TheAmericanRedoubt 02:35, 13 December 2014 (EST)

No problem. Glad I could be of help. Conservative 10:06, 13 December 2014 (EST)

Moved it back

I have "userfied" your material. "Userfication" is the process of keeping drafts of one's material in a subpage of their own user or talk pages until it's ready to be moved into mainspace. That (sort of) protects it from other people making "helpful edits" while one is working on it. It will also be safer from vandalism, though I assume you know that vandalism is easy to revert, since material is preserved in a page's history, and that, in any case, you can keep a copy (as I always do) on your own computer.

The userfied page is here: User talk:TheAmericanRedoubt/sandbox1.

The place to tell people about your experience in amateur radio, communications technology, computers, gardening, medicine, firearms, and survivalism is your own user page.

SamHB 10:13, 13 December 2014 (EST)

• • Thanks for the help and clarification SamHB. Will do.

Workspace area for you

I created a workspace for your prepper material since someone deleted the material from the community portal.

Here is the workspace: User: TheAmericanRedoubt Prepper material

I hope that helps. Conservative 10:14, 13 December 2014 (EST)

A lot of helpful people today! SamHB 10:16, 13 December 2014 (EST)

Thank you for moving it to there. TheAmericanRedoubt 00:14, 14 December 2014 (EST)

Your very welcome and happy holidays this Christmas season. Conservative 00:43, 14 December 2014 (EST)

Merry Christmas Conservapedians! TheAmericanRedoubt 00:59, 14 December 2014 (EST)

re: talk pages

Thanks for creating a ton of new material. We appreciate it.

Second, try to avoid creating short talk pages unless something needs to be discussed about the article. I created a workspace for you called User: TheAmericanRedoubt/IP camera

Again, thanks for creating all the new useful content about preparednesa and other matters. Conservative 16:49, 15 December 2014 (EST)

• • Happy to contribute to this great body of conservative knowledge and become part of the Conservapedia community. "Roger" that on the talk pages. Will do. So then is there no need to explain myself via a talk page if I revert someone else's edits of, for instance, appropriately related Categories / See Also that I added? Just make the changes and re-add the deleted Categories and See Also? Thanks again for your guidance for me as a bit of a newby. TheAmericanRedoubt 16:56, 15 December 2014 (EST)

I respectfully disagree with Cons's advice, and have posted something on the Community Portal on the subject. You most certainly should feel free to explain any reversions, or anything else, on the talk page of the affected page. That's what the talk pages are for. SamHB 17:10, 15 December 2014 (EST)

wiki content

You should wikify your content and contributions. Some of the stuff you have been adding, like the parts of the walmart and grocery store sections i removed have no place on a wiki or online encyclopedia. Phil PhilH 17:41, 15 December 2014 (EST)

Mate

A lot of the content you are adding seems to be rubbish, what is the point of adding new content if it rubbish? Phil PhilH 17:51, 15 December 2014 (EST)
