Any chance of reinstating the 'Transitional Forms'?:--Remarcsd 19:51, 19 September 2007 (EDT)
 * You know, I thought that was funny, but a bit tough for regular wiki-users. It's also a long phrase to use up top.  Perhaps we should all discuss what makes sense for the nav tabs over at talk main page, or something? human be in 20:18, 19 September 2007 (EDT)

WIGO
Sorry! Didn't mean to remove the Dan deal. As for the other, it is petty, and incorrect to leave it. The entry clear states "was", meaning back in the 1860's it WAS the worst war America had ever fought. There just isn't any reason for anyone reading that correctly to draw that conclusion, or make the snarky remark. Later it does compare the casulties, saying the most casualties for ALL American wars except WW II. I know the purpose of WIGO is to note the absurdities there, but that entry is clearly dishonest and more than a bit over the top. --<font color="#00FFAA" face="Berlin Sans FP">--ИighŤ¤Ṭraiṇ <font color="DC143C">♦Τalk ǃ 02:40, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
 * It is not incorrect to leave it. The words are clearly stated on the front page of CP that, and I quote: "It was worst war ever fought," No ifs, no buts, no maybes, no 'by America', no 'up until then', not even a 'had' as you try to imply is there. They are supposed to be adults writing that site, and if they cannot say what they mean then they should not say it on the front page of their site.:--Remarcsd 04:43, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Whatever. I guess what is obvious to some, isn't to many. I'm not here to fight City Hall.  <font color="#00FFAA" face="Berlin Sans FP">--ИighŤ¤Ṭraiṇ  <font color="DC143C">♦Τalk ǃ 14:23, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

I think NT's right. It's ambiguous, but the nod towards WW2 at the end of the entry indicates to the contrary of our mocking on WIGO. I'm going to pull it, since, imho, it's kind of a weak addition anyways.- 14:38, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
 * I agreed when I first read it (went there to check out that hilarious image), but the wording is moving its way up through the grades. It will be high school quality soon, and only the diffs will show the stages it went through. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  18:36, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Well, it can, and has been "spun" to suit the posters POV. However taken in context, and leaving aside the question of if anyone has the right to make an encyclopedia an "American" one, it just seemed rather clear the shortened paragraph, a blurb for the main article, was speaking in context of the 1860's. Like I said, I am not here to fight City Hall.  But I think people here being allowed to include stretches and distortions to make fun of what I agree with Human is a rather 6th Grade effort, only makes RW look 2nd rate as well.  <font color="#00FFAA" face="Berlin Sans FP">--ИighŤ¤Ṭraiṇ  <font color="DC143C">♦Τalk ǃ 19:52, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
 * I didn't get that 1860's context at all. It's not in the words.  It says "It was the worst war ever fought by the U.S."  It does not say "until that time", or "that far in the nation's history".  The word "was" is not enough to place historical context, taking the text as it stands. As far as my defending it, it's mostly for the 6th grade writing on the main page.  Perhaps I am not reading the WIGO wording, and I should, in that our commentary could be better? Oh, and "hi", IW. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  23:22, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

The text reads:

"The American Civil War  took place from 1861 to 1865 , involving the government of the United States of America and the Confederate States of America.  It was  the worst war ever fought by the U.S., with casualties of nearly a million soldiers and civilians,  3% of the country's then total population  of 28 million people. With the exception of World War II, the Civil War claimed more deaths than all other American wars combined!"

I put into italics why it should be read as past tense, only talking about the 1800's. Perhaps their switching to the WW II causes some to be confused. Anyway, this isn't something that merits continued posting on, eh? The item was put back, the author seems happy, and most don't seem to be able to catch the items I did. I'm happy, they are happy, and I think you are happy, eh? All is well that ends well.:D -- <font color="#00FFAA" face="Berlin Sans FP">--ИighŤ¤Ṭraiṇ <font color="DC143C">♦Τalk ǃ 23:32, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
 * You do realise that the WIGO item is not about that article, but about the Mainpage Article of the Month blurb, don't you?--Remarcsd 00:15, 16 October 2007 (EDT) (Moved from original location}.--Remarcsd 00:42, 16 October 2007 (EDT)


 * It's still illiterate. It does not say what you say it says, it is crap.  I coudl rewrite in 27 seconds to be clear and concise, expressing the horror and destruction of the war, without the confusion the crappy prose mires itself in.  Yeah, their mention of WW2 does affect the issue of what "past tense" means.  And as you say, all's well that ends well.  Maybe someone over will rewrite it for clarity - and maybe they'll do something about the flag desecration in the accompanying image.  But, somehow, I doubt it. Anyway, it's always good to chat about these things... <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  00:12, 16 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Well, I do, yes. As far as NT - I think your reading of their text is far more sophisticated than the writing of it.  The first time I read it, I scratched my head after the second sentence.  Twice.  Finished reading, and thought "what illiterates, how come nobody there has made this clear English Murkin yet?" <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  00:18, 16 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Sorry Human, somehow my comment got appended to yours rather than NT's, apparently I was not taking enough notice, or your edit arrived as I was moving to click the edit button and I just began adding under the last edit. I have moved it to where it should be.

Seen this yet?
Karajou wrote a letter to your principal, and played the "angry veteran" card accusing you of "taking away his first amendment rights". Bullshit. Considering how much those cons love "freedom of speech" (even the most hateful speech imaginable), Karajou should be applauding you for your exercising of your rights. But I digress. The message is as follows;

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. Here I sit as a military veteran, and a stupid, piece-of-trash kid thinks it's funny to violate my First Amendment rights to freedom of speech...and this same punk kid knows I put 20 years of my life on the line for his rights. So I sent this to the Lathrup High School vice principle:

Dear Mr. Oates,

My name is Brian Macdonald, and I am writing to you from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I am a 20-year veteran of the United States Navy, currently working on an anthropology degree from Middle Tennessee State University.

As a hobby, I edit for an online wiki called "Conservapedia", which is similar to Wikipedia; the difference being that it does have a conservative bias towards it, and by that I mean we intend to have a straight-forward, online encyclopedia which promotes traditional family and Judeo-Christian values. And like Wikipedia, we get our share of vandals, who come in and alter content, usually with childish rants and curses.

However, there are a group of people who intend to do more than just that; they intend to engage in outright destruction of Conservapedia. These individuals, after being banned from our site, have set up a rival wiki (Rationalwiki.com), and continued their attacks. These attacks have involved complete disruptions of the site, mass erasures of info, coordinated attacks, and at least one of them (a user who calls himself "Flippin) has admitted to a reporter (Stephanie Simon, Los Angeles Times) that he has engaged in "cyber-terror" tactics; this type of engagement has caused a number of us to contact the FBI.

The most egregious of these individuals is a senior from your high school who calls himself "Icewedge". From what we have gathered about this individual, his first name is Eric, and he is a senior there. We have gained that info from the histories of Rationalwiki and Wikipedia, which he provided, in addition to his actual IP address from Fairbanks. He is considered an expert at getting around the programming within wikis, and he had bypassed his bans on our site via the use of proxies centered in Chicago. His latest attack was as two users, one named "Erichatesliberals" and the other "Gggg", which I suspect was done from computers in your school just a few days ago.

If you please, I want this young man confronted and read the riot act. He does not have the right nor the authority to invade other people's websites just because he thinks it's funny; as a senior member of a public high school you should not tolerate anyone using school computers for such attacks. As a military veteran, I find it despicable that some kid would try to violate my First Amendment rights while I put my life on the line for his.

Sincerely,

Brian Macdonald

 * Sigh, I find this pathetic on a whole range of levels. As far as I can tell Karajou is shooting in the dark, why he connects me to "Erichatesliberals" and "Gggg" I am not sure, why he claims that they were involved in attacks I do not know considering they both have 0 edits. Besides I don't vandalize any more and I definitely would not do so at school so Karajou is barking up the wrong tree. - Icewedge 01:17, 1 December 2007 (EST)

 * LOL, he mentioned the FBI. AMA88 09:44, 1 December 2007 (EST)
 * God, KaraBrian needs an editor. After his long rant about his involvement with CP, his "while I put my life on the line for his" seems to refer to just that: editing CP.
 * And said editor might point out Kara's apparent psychic powers: "A guy using a proxy vandalized our wiki. God told me that it's Icewedge, and I am sure it was done with your computers. I don't need any proof, but please act on my word alone."
 * Finally, I find it very amusing how CP is suddenly "similar to Wikipedia" and that "it does have a conservative bias towards it". Huh! I thought CP wasn't anything like the evil Wikipedia and that the only bias was towards truth! I guess they changed that during my hiatus :D --Sid 10:02, 1 December 2007 (EST)

Bot edit hide
Icewedge, where is the option to hide bot edits after roll-back? <font color=Blue>Genghis Marauding 16:32, 7 January 2008 (EST)


 * Read this: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Administration#Rollback . I still only half-understand it, but it looks like you start from the contribs list url, change it a bit, then do the rollbacks. We should do a careful experiment to see how it works maybe? <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  16:44, 7 January 2008 (EST)


 * I believe you go to their contributions page and add  to the end of the URL. Then, any rollbacks you do from that page (and the edits you are reverting) will be counted as bot edits and hidden from Recentchanges by default.  a  ssume  $$a=a$$ 16:49, 7 January 2008 (EST)


 * Assume, I know that, I added the info to the "How to deal with vandalism" page. However, I asked for a shortcut to be implemented so that it could be done with a single mouse click. Icewedge reverted the implementation saying it was already available, but I can't see where. [[Image:jollyfish.gif|25px]]<font color=Blue>Genghis  puzzled 17:16, 7 January 2008 (EST)
 * No, what IW added and deleted from "useful links" was a thing that would hide bot edits when looking at recent changes (then he realized that option is already there). Not one that would mark wandalism and rollbacks as bot edits.  But I know what you mean, it would be cool to have an easy way to "not see" that clutter. <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  17:22, 7 January 2008 (EST)
