Very Helpful. Now we can play Conservapedia Bingo! DogP 17:19, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
What about homosexuality and atheist? I don't think there is an overlap there with the current matrix yet, but I'm sure someday we will see "Professors and Scottland" or "homosexual atheist professors" (though that one might make it go wacky) --Shagie 17:28, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
Homosexuality and Atheism are special cases that don't have much overlap with this table or even each other (quick guess). Might make another matrix or checklist when I'm bored the next time ;) --Sid 17:31, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
In case anybody is wondering what else there is, there's Atheistic logic and Feminist style. NightFlareSpeak, mortal 18:34, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
Sid, I take my hat off to you. This wins teh internets, hands down. PFoster

Feminist is also a posible but withonly style so far, I don't suppose it warrants inclusion. SusanG  ContribsTalk 15:59, 20 April 2008 (EDT)
I think everything people mentioned should be added (also note Liberal professor...). Also, I think this should be moved into the limelight of the CP namespace. Sid, what do you think? Ready to let your baby leave the nest and fly on its own, while the rest of us plink away at it? humanUser talk:Human 14:31, 21 May 2008 (EDT)

Message to the wandals[edit]

Hey guys, I've seen some of you (or maybe just one, again and again) apparently using my list as a launchpad for silly (though mildly amusing) wandalism. And while I don't endorse it, I have a more entertaining suggestion for you:

Create new articles that would fit into the matrix!

The catch: Make them stick. It has to get sysop approval.[1] Yes, I'm asking for "parody".[2] Come on, let's fill a few more fields here! How about "Evolutionist Denial"[3] or "Media Tricks"[4]?

Axis[edit]

This is just my opinion, and it means nothing, but I think you're right about the flipping the axis. As it stands right now, the Root is on the Horizontal (X) and the Reaction is on the Vertical (Y) I'm not sure (it's been a long time since I took Statistics) But isn't supposed to be the other way around? and if no, I personally think it'd look better with the small data on the left. SirChuckBBATHE THE WHALES!!!! 01:37, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, that was pretty much what I thought, too. My only concern is that the table will become too wide. But I'll try the flip later today to test this. If in doubt, I might delete one or two of the more obscure terms that stand little chance of being created. We'll see... --Sid 07:21, 25 April 2008 (EDT)
It's too bad that MW doesn't allow what, say, xls does, to let you make the text across the top "vertically" aligned (rotated) to keep the columns narrow. humanUser talk:Human 14:29, 21 May 2008 (EDT)
You could try substituting with images of the rotated text. Jollyfish.gifGenghisIs the Pope a Catholic? 14:40, 21 May 2008 (EDT)
Yeah, I had thought that too... not too hard to do... If he puts this in "public" space I don't mind having a crack at that. humanUser talk:Human 15:37, 21 May 2008 (EDT)

Suggestion[edit]

There are articles with the "Atheistic" prefix, like cp:Atheistic logic, cp:Atheistic style, cp:Atheistic denial, to name a few... Lyra § talk 15:35, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

Hehe, yes, and of course there's Kendoll's summa homosexualita series of pamphlets. Or did Sid already include them? ħψAnarchy dd00dd.pngUser talk:Human 20:10, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

Move suggestion[edit]

Seeing how the last ten or so edits to this article were made by other people (which is cool with me - it shows they're interested in this), should this be moved out of my userspace? "Conservapedia:Article Matrix" would be the obvious suggestion, but it's also kinda obscure. Suggestions welcome, and feel free to be bold. --Sid 13:55, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

Conservpedia:Article Matrix sounds good to me. We can always link to it from a few choice articles in the CPSpace. Marginally Less Chaos!Audacity! 14:03, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
Shouldn't it be CP:Article matrix? Oh, and pleez ckan haz link left behind when moved so I can find it? Ktxbai. ħumanUser talk:Human 16:30, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

They're on to us[edit]

The challenge is getting tricky. They've already deleted atheistic values, evolutionist gullibility, professor obsession, and San Francisco tools (okay, the last one was a joke, but the others would have been welcomed if they had been written by established users). It's getting harder. We'll have to use deep socks from non-proxies. Maybe Bugler will add some; it might send up some red flags, but he seems to be above suspicion for some reason. I guess we'll see. DickTurpis 12:09, 5 September 2008 (EDT)

Atheistic values has stuck, it seems like it's getting harder to get them to delete some of them... So, once the table is complete, the final move would be to put up "Conservative Gullibility" that says that conservatives believe the following articles are real. Armondikov 16:11, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

Captures[edit]

I'm thinking we should get captures for all of these. Just in case. So that the matrix doesn't get cluttered with img tags or references, we could just keep them listed in a seperate (perhaps commented-out) section of the article and only put them into the matrix when their articles are deleted.

" How you can help."[edit]

I thought we didn't coordinate vandalism/other types of attacks on CP. P-Foster (talk) 19:07, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

We don't. Never. 19:08, 12 July 2010 (UTC) SusanG Toast
Yes I wasn't so sure about that. Old versions of the page had such content, and it was removed, but without a given reason. I'll remove it. ONE / TALK 19:43, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
  1. Indirect approval in the form of "I didn't get banned, and the article was left to stand for more than a day" is okay.
  2. In the sense that Andy would have written just that sooner or later himself. Emulate his style. Parrot his crazy assertions. Get the same hairstyle. Create something he won't want to delete.
  3. "Deny the existence of God, deny the obvious link between Darwin and the Holocaust, etc etc etc"
  4. "Give liberals more favorable screentime while silently omitting or playing down good news about conservatives, etc."
