| − | Please let me know if you want to serve on a blocking policy refinement panel. I invited someone to edit Conservapedia and they were blocked and they should not have been. I got the block overturned. So I think there is room for improvement in Conservapedia's blocking policy. You can sign up [[User:Conservative/Sysops who want to serve on a blocking policy refinement panel|HERE]]. I invited active Syops/Admins plus people with blocking rights who might wish to be Sysops. If I left anyone out, please let them know about the panel. The people with blocking rights can sign up [[User talk:Conservative/Sysops who want to serve on a blocking policy refinement panel|HERE]]. The panel will probably convene when Iduan is back from his summer vacation or fairly soon afterwards. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 13:47, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

| − | == Bill Bryson article ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Dear Douglas A, Some time ago you deleted one of the articles I created, on author Bill Bryson, with the comment "not notable". ''(08:59, 18 January 2011 DouglasA (deleted "Bill Bryson" (not notable) )'' I would like to ask you to please reconsider this deletion and to reinstate this page, as Bill Bryson is in fact a very notable author, and it took some time and effort for me to create that article. Bill Bryson is a well-known author who has written more than 20 books, many of them best-sellers. Millions of his books have been sold in the U.S. and translated into dozens of foreign langauages. He has won many awards for his writing on travel, language, science and history, including: 2010 Educational Writers Award; 2005 President's Award from the Royal Society of Chemistry; Author of the Year at the British Book Awards; and he has also been awarded honorary degrees by numerous universities. In 2006 the mayor of Des Moines awarded Bryson the key to the city. There are also several pages at Conservapedia that mention Bill Bryson and/or quote him in their references, please see: [[Gettysburg Address]] (references Bill Bryson), [[Des Moines]] (mentions that ''The Life and TImes of the Thunderbolt Kid,'' Bill Bryson's memoir of growing up in Des Moines, was a 2006 bestseller), [[Anthony Comstock]] (references Bill Bryson) and [[Ellis Island]] (quotes Bill Bryson). So I do believe that this particular page was deleted in error and would respectfully ask that it be reinstated. Thank you very much for your consideration.

I've been quite patient, bringing it to your attention back in August, and again in November, but it is now December and you still haven't replied. I can't see any valid reason for the article on Bill Bryson to de deleted. Thank you for your attention to this matter. [[User:Taj|Taj]] 19:03, 9 December 2011 (EST)

| − | ==A serious Biblical matter==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Aschlafly wrote the essay [[Mystery:Did Jesus Write the Epistle to the Hebrews?]]. This wouldn't have been to problematic, but now he puts his outlandish idea into an article in the main space ([[Epistle to the Hebrews]]). First he wrote:
| |
| − | {{cquote|"The [[Epistle to the Hebrews]] is the nineteenth book of the [[New Testament]], and one of the greatest mysteries in all of intellectual history: the authorship of this brilliant work is unknown, and '''the most plausible theory is that Jesus himself wrote or dictated it.'''"}}
| |
| − | [[User:Iduan]] toned this down somewhat, so that we read at the moment:
| |
| − | {{cquote|"The [[Epistle to the Hebrews]] is the nineteenth book of the [[New Testament]], and one of the greatest mysteries in all of intellectual history: the authorship of this brilliant work is unknown, and '''one plausible theory is that Jesus himself wrote or dictated it'''."}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I couldn't find any Biblical scholar who shares this idea, I couldn't find any authorative figure who promotes this - and this isn't much of a surprise if you read the epistle for yourself! The only "scholar" who has proposed this "theory" in the last 2000 years is Andrew Schlafly.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I tried to delete this sentence, and then I tried to make it clear that this idea is a personal insight by Andrew Schlafly. My edits were reverted: any reader of this encyclopedia gets the impression that this theory is something commonly known or well discussed. That's utterly untrue.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I tend to be quite strict on Biblical matters - I'm often accused of being nitpicky. As one of the sysops of Conservapedia who was active in 2012 I ask you to weigh in on this problem: maybe it is just me and most of the of you and your fellow sysops think that it is acceptable to present an insight of a single person '''in a Biblical matter''' (an insight shared by virtually no one) as a plausible theory. But - as the title of this section indicates - for me this is a very serious matter.

| − | :::You deleted [[Herbert Ives]], [[Directly proportional]] and [[Cavendish Laboratory]] - the latter two for ''pushing e=mc2 nonsense''. It is true that I came up with this subjects while doing research for the articles on [[E=mc²]] and [[Cockcroft and Walton Experiment]], and that I therefore stressed the connection to Einstein's famous formula. But if you don't like this, deleting the articles isn't the right thing to do: all three subjects are worthy of an encyclopedic entry. So improve them!

That's a big difference between conservatives and today's liberals''"''' --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] 02:56, 27 January 2013 (EST)
