No offence but this wasn't really what I had in mind. This is basically a repeat of the Conservapedia:Timeline, maybe some of this can be reused though. - π 03:07, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Top ten[edit]

Okay here are the results:

  1. Conservative Bible project.
  2. Andy invents the phrase "best of the public".
  3. Andy goes on the Colbert Report.
  4. Andy discovers Conservapedia's Law and geometric fits.
  5. Roger and Andy's epic battle over the theory of relativity.
  6. Andy endorses the liberal detecting bot and promotes a small army of parodists
  7. PJR starts his own Conservapedia.
  8. Andy's bizarre word counting experiment.
  9. TK uploads an image he nicked claiming it was "self made". When his plagiarism is pointed out he banhammers the pointer-outers and burns the talk page claiming it contains "lies".
  10. Karajou introduces the weakly cartoon to the mainpage.
  11. Andy claims humor did not exist before Jesus
  12. Bugler outs himself.
  13. Andy composes Born Outside the U.S.A.!
  14. The server explodes and a weeks worth of edits are lost.
  15. The number of blocked IP addresses peaks at over 27,000,000.
  16. ♥ K e n D o l l ' s ♥ 30 hour edit-a-thon.
  17. JessicaT's running battles with TK and her subsequent demotion.
  18. ♥ K e n D o l l ♥'s operation amount to nothing as CP's evolution article slips from 11 right back to somewhere on the third page on Google.
  19. Jinxmchue loses and regains his banhammer.
  20. TK gets his admin rights back.

The most common arguments I will expect against this list is:

  • Several of these are overlapping for example Andy's bizarre word counting experiment lead to Conservapedia's Law.
  • Bugler outs himself was mentioned in last years.

Also I think "Andy endorses the liberal detecting bot and promotes a small army of parodists" should just be about the liberal bot, Andy is always promoting armies of parodists. - π 00:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Can we change the wording in the first paragraph in regards to Obama being the "first" president that isn't 100% white?[edit]

A Google search provides numerous reliable sources that say otherwise. Perhaps we could change it to "The United States inaugurated its first obviously non-white president..."? Dexter111344 (talk) 09:36, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
