User:Worm/PoorTwitaPedia

'Editing User:Worm/PoorTwitaPedia Ed's huge contribution to encyclopaedic content on Conservapedia is truly magnificent. He has created thousands of pages (approx. 2,500 as of January 2010) and while this is quite an achievement, it is somewhat mitigated by the fact that Ed is very fond of creating redirects and stubs.

Nearly 1,000 of the pages Ed has created are simple redirects, and of the remaining 1,500 pages, around 500 are less than 500 bytes, so would qualify as a stub. 250 of these pages are under 300 bytes, and barely qualify as articles - more like "Tweets"
